Eiichiro Oda Teases New ONE PIECE Anime Film in Development, Says Project Will Strongly Interest Fans

Eiichiro Oda's Message

To everyone visiting Jump Festa, hello!!
Toward a future society where life shines brightly.
It’s O Myaku Myaku Ichiro here!!
When I asked the staff to put together everything we’re doing next year so I could write this message, I was greeted by a long list of events.
Then they said, “This, this, this, and this are still off limits.”
Huh? So I can barely say anything at all?!
But looking over the list, it really feels like so many of these projects are aimed at audiences overseas too
and yes, that includes Japan.
The new anime titled THE ONE PIECE is already out and streaming worldwide.
Everything is steadily moving forward.
And on March 10 next year, the Hollywood live action ONE PIECE Season 2 will finally be released.
Chopper makes his appearance!!
Every time new footage comes out, I keep noisily saying, “So cute, so cute.”
By March next year, I’m sure all of you will be saying the same thing.
There’s also the rest of the very strong personality cast.
Please enjoy once again just how much Inaki and the others truly feel like the Straw Hat crew.
In fact, filming for Season 3 has already begun, which means the Alabasta arc will continue as well.
Look forward to it!!
As for the anime movie, I haven’t been told I’m allowed to talk about it, but honestly, I can’t say it’s going smoothly.
But maybe now that I’ve said this, someone will go, “Hey, you said it, hurry up!!”
It’s something I’m sure many of you will be very interested in, so please wait with extreme patience.
Now then, since this is Jump Festa, let’s talk about the Jump manga itself.
After a very long, very long flashback
where you get to learn a bit more about the past,
we return to the present, and maybe your view of Elbaph has started to change.
Then we wrap things up with a flashy “DOOM!”
and from here on out, things get really tough.
That island only the Pirate King ever visited?!
Hinokizu appears!!
Characters who never met before finally come face to face!!
And those two meet as well!!
Is next year going to be a festival of encounters?
The story moves at high speed, but unfortunately, I’ve gotten older,
so while taking care of my own life maintenance,
we’ll continue sailing next year at the highest speed ONE PIECE has ever seen, heavy and solid all the way.
Up ahead, it’s all festival.
Please look forward to it, with extreme anticipation!!!
