One Piece hoisted its colors on Netflix last week, and many fans wonder whether Bon Clay, a.k.a. Bentham of the Wild, is in the live-action adaptation of the well-known manga. Is the flamboyant Bon Clay in One Piece season 1? And is Bentham still alive in the One Piece manga and anime? Here’s what you need to know about the queer character.
Is Bon Clay in Netflix’s One Piece?
Bon Clay doesn’t appear in Netflix’s One Piece season 1.
And if you wonder why Bon Clay/Bon Kurei doesn’t appear in One Piece season 1, the reason is the first run of the Netflix series doesn’t cover the Drum Island Arc, where Bentham makes his first appearance.
Currently, the well-known streamer hasn’t announced a sophomore season yet, but considering the good reception One Piece is receiving, it might be just a matter of time. Fans can hope to see Bon Kurei in the yet-to-be-announced One Piece season 2. Bentham is a popular character, and the fans are pretty curious to see him in live-action.
Is Bon Clay alive or dead in One Piece?
Bon Clay is still alive in One Piece.
Bon Clay was introduced as a member of the Baroque Works organization, where he held the position of Mr. 2. The powers of the Mane Mane no Mi Devil Fruit allow him to change his appearance to look like anyone he touches.
Despite being an antagonist initially, Bentham’s character undergoes significant development throughout the series and eventually becomes an ally to Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. In addition to Arabasta, he also helped the Mugiwara Pirates during the Impel Down and Marineford arcs.
One Piece is currently streaming on Netflix.
