“I’ll just break it,” Shigaraki replied back.
“All-out war draws near.”

What better way to celebrate the 1,000 episode milestone of One Piece is to announce a new movie. Toei Animation announced recently that there is plans for another One Piece movie. In a teaser, the movie is called One Piece Film Red.

先ほど情報解禁された『ONE PIECE FILM RED』への 尾田っちのコメントが超緊急公開‼️
Based on the visual and teaser, Goro Taniguchi will be directing the movie. Tabiguchi directed the anime series Code Geass and he first directed the One Piece short anime One Piece: Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzak in 1998. The short was premiered in Japan’s Jump Super Anime in 1999. Tsutomu Kuroiwa will return to write the screenplay for the new movie. Kuroiwa previously worked on the movie One Piece Film Gold. Eiichiro Oda will be producing the movie with Toei Animation.
One Piece Film Red will be in Japanese theaters in August 6th, 2022.
Thanks to Funimation, it looks like you can continue to expand your One Piece anime movie/special collections. One Piece fans can watch their movies like Strong World, Z, and specials such as Episode of Skypiea and 3D2Y. However, it seems like even though Funimation holds the rights to One Piece, they haven’t done any English Dub for the other One Piece titles. It could be possible that Toei Animation will be releasing some past One Piece movies through digital outlets. It’s been announced on Twitter that the 9th One Piece movie One Piece: Episode of Chopper: The Miracle Winter Cherry Blossom is available to purchase and watch through the digital outlets iTunes and Windows. This movie is currently subbed and Funimation has not done a dub, nor released the movie in DVD. This is the 9th movie and it is an alternate retelling of the Drum Island arc where Luffy and his friends meet Chopper. However, unlike other the Episodes series, this abridged version is an alternate story telling where Robin and Franky joins the crew first rather having Chopper join before them. This also introduces Wapol’s older brother Musshuru who serves as the movie’s second antagonist.

Greetings anime and manga fans! I bring you news for those who have Netflix or is a One Piece fan. It has been revealed by IGN and Crunchyroll that a live-action One Piece series is in production and it will be in Netflix. According to sources, the first season will have up to 10 episodes and the live-action series will be oversees by One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. Steven Maeda, who worked on Lost and The X-Files, will be the show’s showrunner and executive producer. Matt Owens, who worked on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Luke Cage, will be the writer and executive producer at Netflix and Tomorrow’s Studio, while Netflix handles the physical production.
Here is a translated note made by Oda himself about the project:
If you thought playing as Whitebeard feels like playing as a tank, you are going to be surprised to see what Bandai Namco will be inviting. One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is going to be the next installment to the Pirate Warriors series and this fourth title will be going all the way to the Wano arc. Besides characters like Katakuri and Germa 66 being playable, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 will be adding two of the Four Emperors of the Sea; Big Mom and Kaido are expected to be playable. Big Mom is one of the Four Emperors who clashed against Luffy during his mission to save Sanji from her in the Whole Cake Island. Kaido is another powerful Emperor that Luffy and his friends have to deal with. Mentioned before in the story, Luffy and Law formed an alliance in order to make Doflamingo (one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea) and Kaido fight each other. However, change of plans occurred when Luffy decided to get involved and he took down Doflamingo.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is coming out on March 27th for PS4, Switch, XB1 and PC.

I hope you didn’t forget this game, One Piece World Seeker. One Piece World Seeker is a game that Bandai Namco released in July of this year where players can play as the captain of the Straw Hats Monkey D. Luffy and explore the mysterious marine island Prison Island. I mentioned before that the game will have DLC in which you will be able to play as characters besides Luffy if you bought the season pass or buy the DLC separately. The first DLC featured Luffy’s crewmember Zoro and the second DLC allowed players to play as Luffy’s older brother Sabo. Today, Bandai Namco has just revealed a trailer for the last DLC for the season pass. On December 20th, fans will be able to buy and download the ability to play as Trafalgar Law. The DLC is called DLC 3: The Unfinished Map and players will be able to control and use his Room-Room fruit powers to defeat his enemies and teleport to sections of the world. Law will team up with a new character named Roule and these two will explore Prison Island. The recent update will also grant players the ability to ride duck companion Karoo. The game is available for PS4, XB1 and PC and it will be ready for Dec 20th.
Take control of Trafalgar Law as he explores the island with Roule, a brand new character to the ONE PIECE world!
