Whether you’re a longtime fan who’s been sailing with Luffy since the East Blue or a newcomer drawn in by the live-action series, one thing’s for sure—One Piece is everywhere in 2025.
From NBA arenas to MLB stadiums, theme parks, and global streaming platforms, the Straw Hat Pirates are breaking into every corner of pop culture. Here are some of the coolest collabs and upcoming projects that are keeping One Piece at the top of the anime game.
Lakers x One Piece Night
In a crossover we didn’t know we needed, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted a One Piece Night in April. Fans who bought special event tickets got hooked up with:
- A limited-edition Lakers x One Piece t-shirt
- A poster of Luffy in Lakers colors
The arena was filled with purple, gold, and pirate pride. A perfect storm of anime and NBA culture.
Dodgers x One Piece Night
Next up, the Los Angeles Dodgers are hosting their own One Piece Night. This event includes:
- A custom Dodgers-branded Straw Hat
- An exclusive One Piece trading card (which could be a future collector’s item)
This is one of the most unique fan giveaways the Dodgers have ever done. Anime fans and baseball fans alike are gearing up for this crossover.
Universal Studios Japan – One Piece Premier Summer
Every summer, Universal Studios Japan hosts an immersive One Piece live show and themed event—and 2025 is no different. The One Piece Premier Summer includes:
- Live stunt shows featuring Luffy, Zoro, and the crew
- Pirate-themed food stalls and drinks
- Tons of exclusive merch
- Fan Nights where the park transforms into a Straw Hat celebration after dark
If you’re ever in Osaka during the summer, this is a must-visit for One Piece fans.
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 + Netflix’s Future Plans
The live-action One Piece series on Netflix shocked a lot of people—in a good way. Season 1 was a breakout success, winning over skeptics and critics alike. Now, all eyes are on Season 2, which is currently in production and rumored to drop in late 2025 or early 2026.
But here’s where it gets wild: Netflix has also announced plans to “restart the franchise” in some form. While the details are still vague, it’s believed they’re planning a long-term anime reboot or reimagining to bring in new audiences who might be intimidated by the 1,000+ episode journey of the original anime.
Whether that’s a remake, condensed retelling, or new visual style, one thing’s for sure—Netflix is all in on One Piece.
