A special video summarizing the current whereabouts and actions of the Four Emperors in the One Piece anime was released on YouTube, immediately generating massive buzz among fans. The feature focuses on three of the Four Emperors—Shanks, Buggy, and Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard)—excluding Luffy, who is already well-known in the spotlight.

The internet quickly lit up with reactions:

“This seriously gave me goosebumps,”
“Just when I thought the anime was done, they drop this god-tier footage. Thank you to whoever planned this sequence,”
“The animation is insane—thank you!”
“Shanks is just way too powerful, lol,”
“I’m actually starting to believe Buggy might become the Pirate King, and it’s got me hyped.”

Based on the manga that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump on July 22, 1997, One Piece is a grand maritime adventure about the legendary treasure “One Piece” left behind by the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. The story follows Monkey D. Luffy, a boy who gains rubber-like abilities after eating the Gum-Gum Fruit, as he gathers a crew—the Straw Hat Pirates—and sets out on a quest to become the next Pirate King.

The manga has surpassed 510 million copies in circulation worldwide, making it one of the most successful comics of all time. The TV anime adaptation has been airing since 1999. In 2022, the animated film One Piece Film Red took the country by storm, grossing over ¥20.34 billion (approx. $137 million USD) at the Japanese box office and becoming a cultural phenomenon.
