2022 will be a year that will bring two major Toei Animation products to cinemas. On the one hand there is Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, a film that will mark the return of the saga in the animation field, on the other ONE-PIECE: RED, the fifteenth in the Pirate series.
The announcement came on the occasion of the broadcast of the 1,000th episode of the TV series, the title of which immediately captivated audiences considered the connection with Shanks the Red, one of the most popular and mysterious characters of the series. Eiichiro Oda is very involved in ONE PIECE: RED and this has suggested that the film could also be canon. However, things are not exactly like that.
ONE PIECE: RED will not be canon. Shimizu underscores this, but he explains the situation better. Given the work they do in the workforce and also using Oda’s tremendous contribution, the film will not be part of the main story, however, it will contain many elements related to stories that the mangaka had planned but failed to complete had to develop. . Essentially, there can be canon story pieces that lessen the aura of mystery that revolves around Shanks the Red.
A choice between canonicity and non-canonicity but that will still be able to entertain ONE PIECE fans who love to theorize about the smallest elements prepared by the mangaka.
This is by far the best result imo. A movie that’s “canon” for the timeline means absolutely nothing if it’s just a random adventure with the Straw Hats. But the actual canon reveals give it quite a bit more canon value than usual https://t.co/ryOjmNq6K8
