In 2026, the 2nd season of the Netflix series of One Piece starts. In the live-action series of the anime, many characters appear that we have already seen in season 1. However, one has changed so much that he is suddenly unrecognizable to some fans.
Which actor is it and what happened to him? Ilia Isorelýs Paulino is the actress playing Alvida in the live-action series of One Piece. Together with her iron club, the antagonist appears already in the first episode of season 1 of the Netflix series. She is part of the introduction story when Ruffy meets Corby, who was held as a slave on Alvida’s ship at that time.
In season 2, Alvida returns and joins Buggy for an alliance. Their shared hatred for Monkey D. Ruffy, which is built up in the first season, connects them. However, when you watch the upcoming episodes, you may notice that the actress playing Alvida has lost some weight.
On her Instagram profile, it can be seen that she has been reducing her weight for the past few months. With the physical change, she will also appear in season 2. The weight loss is related to her role.
Alvida and her actress lose several kilos
Why has she lost so much weight? In the anime, Alvida eats the Alabasta fruit after her defeat against Ruffy. This makes her skin so smooth that physical attacks bounce off her. Her appearance also changes drastically, and she loses a lot of weight.
To do justice to her role, Paulino has also lost a lot of weight. On Reddit, a fan shows how her appearance has aligned with her role:
What do fans think about it? In the comments on Reddit, many fans are excited that the actress is giving her all for her role. The top commenter writes that Paulino did a great job.
Many users are also reminded of Christian Bale and his roles. For The Machinist, Bale had to lose nearly 30 kilograms, according to GQ, just one year later he had to gain drastic weight again for his role in Batman – especially muscle mass.
Others write:
- daekle: “A quick Google search reveals that she was just a slightly fuller woman and decided to lose weight after season 1. Hats off to her, she was perfect in season 1 and looks perfect in season 2 as well.”
- Lonehoof: “An incredible motivator to lose weight and maintain a routine. Also an incredible success story. Honestly, hats off to her.”
There are also some viewers who thought that Alvida’s weight in season 1 was due to a suit. However, some fans point out that Paulino did not wear a suit, as can be seen on social media.
In the first trailer for season 2, there were many hidden details to see that fans can look forward to. The trailer even confirmed a third season.
