‘One Piece’ celebrates its 1,000th episode
The Japanese anime series “One Piece” celebrated its 1,000th episode by remaking its first opening and releasing a new film.
The milestone: On Nov. 20, the legendary anime based on Eiichiro Oda’s manga series of the same name debuted its 1,000th episode.  
  • To celebrate the milestone, the episode featured the very first opening of the anime from 1999 during the show’s “East Blue” arc. 
  • Japanese animation studio T​​oei Animation remade the anime’s original opening with the song “We Are!” by Hiroshi Kitadani. While the remake is similar to the original, T​​oei Animation added Straw Hat crew members from the show’s Wano Country arc.
  • Along with the updated clip, Toei and Japanese publishing company Shueisha also announced their new film titled “One Piece Film: Red.” It is set to premiere on Aug. 6, 2022 in Japan. The release schedule for other countries is yet to be announced. 
  • The “One Piece” official YouTube channel released a teaser trailer of the new film. It reveals the involvement of the series’ protagonistic Red-Haired Shanks. The teaser’s voice-over poses the question, “Will her voice bring forth eternal happiness or endless imprisonment?”
  • Goro Taniguchi, the director of the “Code Geass” anime series, is directing the new “One Piece” film. Oda is set to produce the movie.
