Funimation has released a new teaser for the upcoming 1,000th episode of One Piece, which will air on November 20.
The milestone is one of many that the long-running series is achieving this year–One Piece also published its 1,000th manga chapter earlier in the year, and also recently released its 100th collected volume, which sold over a million copies in under a week. As recently reported, the 1,000th episode will also coincide with a two-night theatrical event screening the 2009 One Piece Film: Strong World for the first time in the United States. Check out the clip for the landmark episode below.
Tickets can be found at Fathom Events and also at participating theater box offices. Moviegoers will also be able to see the stateside premiere of the One Piece: Mugiwara Chase featurette, a 2011-produced 30-minute showcase of what One Piece would look like if produced using CGI. All this should also help fans get further stoked for the long-awaited live-action adaptation of the series, which Netflix recently revealed has finished scripts for.
One Piece isn’t the only much-loved anime getting a live-action version from Netflix. The adaptation of the classic sci-fi adventure Cowboy Bebop releases on November 19–a teaser for that came out this week, and a teaser is expected next week.
Earlier in the pandemic, Toei Animation released a video featuring One Piece characters offering advice on how to stay safe.
