Nico Robin is the sixth Straw Hat member inOne Piece.Even though she left them in between, she returned and became one of the main characters. Nico Robin’s life was full of miseries, and she found peace within the Straw Hats. Her character requires a lot of depth, and the emotional baggage is strongly visible.
The anime fans were accustomed to the character, and soon, the live-action lovers would also have their chance. Recently, an audition of Natalia Prieto went viral where she was auditioning for the role of Nico Robin. While her performance was outstanding, there was one raging issue among them that made them not want her as the ‘Devil Child.’
Fans Do Not Want Natalie Prieto As Nico Robin

She did a great job grasping the character’s core and showcasing her emotional side. Robin always has a smile on her face. But before meeting the Straw Hats, it was all fake since she was trying to hide her pain and sorrows. After declaring her true feelings, the smile became more natural. Prieto’s eyes did most of the acting, and it could make anyone cry. Her dialogue delivery and dedication towards the audition are unmatched.
Even though she did a great job, the fans were not convinced. Their major issue with Prieto was her age. Compared to the other live-action Straw Hats, she looked older. Robin looks younger than her age, but Prieto is missing it. It is already 28, so by the time the series concludes, she might be well over 35 years old. In the anime, the Straw Hats have only sailed for two years, but it is not possible to depict it in live action.

Taking a younger actress for the role would be the better choice since she can mature with the series. One of the fans even commented,“You are a good actor, but I don’t see the Robin vibe in you.”The age factor is what caused the fans to say this. But the actress was understanding and replied,“That’s fine.”

Robin is supposed to debut in the Alabasta arc, so the audition might signify her debut in season three. The showrunners are already thinking about season three, and it shows they are in for the long haul. But the fans do not want Prieto to get the role. Her audition was marvelous, and it would only improve during the actual scene, but age is a big no-no for the fans.
