Fans of the One Piece anime just got some very bad news regarding a highly anticipated episode of Eiichiro Oda’s work.
We no longer count the cult moments among them One piece. Thanks to its longevity, but above all thanks to Eiichirō Oda’s talent, fans of the community will keep wonderful memories of the manga and anime, even if some sequences and the disappearance of iconic characters (you know who we’re talking about) were particularly hard to stomach. Since the manga is slightly ahead of the anime, those who follow the two works in parallel know what to expect in the episodes compiled by Toei Animation. One of anime’s most iconic scenes was about to happen, but sadly, bad news just arrived.
Big disappointment for One Piece fans
For several weeks, Inoxtag and the entire French community of One piece Push the episode to air where Luffy uses the Gear 5 for the first time…in the Grand Rex! The Paris area ramped up the hype by implying they would do anything to make it happen. Unfortunately, One Piece fans will likely have to watch this iconic sequence from home. “It doesn’t smell good… The rights holder doesn’t want to, despite long negotiations”, explains the official account of the Grand Rex on Twitter in response to questions from a fan.
News that the public did not expect because yesterday the YouTube channel of One piece revealed a teaser for Episode 1071, which features Luffy using Gear 5 for the first time during the fight against Kaido in the Wano arc. A trailer that finally revealed the release date of this long-awaited episode, which will therefore arrive on Crunchyroll on August 6th. A revelation that gave hope for an announcement of the Grand Rex in this process… which ultimately is not at all what the French community expected One piece
Any hope of a theatrical release?
The most optimistic would say so it does not smell good ” still leaves a very small hope for Toei Animation, which owns the rights to the anime One piece, finally gave in. Let’s face it, just two weeks into the air it seems very difficult to contemplate. Anyway, the great trailer of Episode 1071 released by Toei Animation had little impact and audiences will surely be very happy to finally discover this iconic scene, even on a slightly smaller screen. Keep in mind that chapter 1088 of the manga has just been released while the series One piece from Netflix has unveiled a brand new trailer ahead of its scheduled release on August 31st next.
