One Piece is one of the manga and anime series that keep making history.
In 2021 we can talk about two historical marks for the franchise, including the premiere of the 1000th episode of its anime adaptation and its 100th compilation volume.
To do this, the franchise is preparing to celebrate it with a special event, by presenting 9 special shorts with the title We Are One. A reference to both its first opening and a celebration of its fans in a special narration.
The work of directing these shorts comes from the hand of Mika Ninagawa, filmmaker behind works like Sakuran or Helter Skelter. One of them includes the participation of the actor Kengo Kora and has the musical participation of the band RADWIMPS for all the stories.
The announcement of this production brought with it the first exclusive visual of the compilation volume number 100, with the official cover being seen for the first time, prior to its premiere on September 9.
We are still in Wano Country
Meanwhile, both the anime and manga move on with the extensive Wano Country Arc. The animated version of Eichiro Oda’s work already has several chapters walking in the direction of the battle that dominates the pages of the manga.
With the captain of the Straw Hat pirates at the center of the action, we will see many instances where the gomu gomu will be beating up the rivals of Kaido’s army.
This marks the beginning of the extensive battle between the protagonists of the story, with the roving support of the samurai against the Kaido Beast pirates and their alliance with the Big Mom pirates.
A society of villains that would be the greatest threat to Luffy and his friends, to the point of being so strong that only an internal division was able to create cracks in the terrible battle.
