There will be a new One Piece comic or cartoon project following Tony Tony Chopper called Chopper’s. The idea is that it will show what the character’s life would be like if he lived alongside us in modern times. The official site notes that Eiichiro Oda, Shueisha, and animation company Maxilla are involved.

The first comic hasn’t appeared yet and there are currently no animations at time of writing showing what his adventures will look like in Chopper’s yet. However, the official site did share a key image and three sample images that suggest what the art style will look like and how it might go. The key image serves to only show a more muted, pastel, and cute design direction for Chopper. In the images, we see the character walking down the aisle of an airplane to head on a trip, doing some baking, and taking a selfie. 

Here is how all three of the initial images look. It suggests that Chopper might be the only figure in color, with other characters, items, and backgrounds being monochromatic.

As for where we can see these new adventures, they’ll be online daily on social media and video sites. The comics will be shown on their own Instagram and X. Only the key image is on both now. Meanwhile, it looks like these shorts for Chopper’s will be ed to the One Piece TikTok and YouTube s.

We’ve seen this character get his moments like this before. He appeared in a platformer focused on him, and the One Piece Tamagotchi involves raising him.

The One Piece Chopper’s comic and animated shorts will start running soon. The original One Piece anime is on streaming services like Crunchyroll and Netflix, the manga is handled by Viz Media in English, and the live-action adaptation is on Netflix.

Toei announced yet another One Piece night for a US team, and this time it’ll involve the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros baseball game on April 8, 2025. The event will be designed to highlight the manga and anime series and the card game. 

Tickets are now on sale for the T-Mobile Park event in Seattle, Washington via the official site. If they don’t sell out, then they will be available until April 7, 2025. These start at $21 for a View Level seat, though $41 Main Level and $51 Club Level ones are also available. Each one of these special purchases for the event also entitles people to a shirt with the One Piece logo and Luffy on it. 

Here’s the key art for the event. It features Luffy below the logos for One Piece, the Astros, and the Mariners. 

And this is the matching shirt that will be given away to ticket holders.

While the site notes the event starts at 6:40pm PT on April 8, 2025, there will be events before the game. These will be held at Victory Hall. Exact One Piece elements weren’t mentioned., aside from chances to see the One Piece Card Game. Previous events included photo ops and other anime imagery.

This is the third One Piece night at a sporting event to show up in the US in 2025. The first involved a Laker’s game in February 2025. The other will be a Red Sox game against the Twins in May 2025. 

The Seattle Mariners One Piece night will fall on on April 8, 2025, and people can attend the baseball game against the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington. You can find the anime on Crunchyroll and Netflix, and Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan. The live-action adaptation is only on Netflix.

Crunchyroll announced that there will be an array of new One Piece Egghead arc anime episodes, with English dub ones appearing ahead of new simulcast installments out of Japan. The new dubbed debut is March 18, 2025. However, more totally new episodes show up on April 6, 2025. 

In the case of the English One Piece Egghead arc dub releases, it basically finishes up season 21 of the anime. Last Crunchyroll left off, it stopped at episode 1,108. The new drop picks up at 1,109. That will carry over to episode 1,122, which was the last episode of that season. 

As for the new episodes, that picks up right where things left off. Episode 1,123 of the One Piece Egghead Arc will debut on April 6, 2025. This means it will be a part of the Spring 2025 anime season when it arrives. 

In the meantime, there will also be some additional anime adaptations to watch. The specials 14, 15, and 16 will all appear on March 18, 2025. 

This means there’s one arc that isn’t in the anime yet. While we’re getting through the Egghead arc of One Piece, none of Elbaph showed up. However, that only did start in September 2024, so it might be a while before that shows up. 

You can find the anime on Crunchyroll and Netflix, and Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan. The live-action adaptation is only on Netflix.

Castem is selling chopsticks stands that can turn your chopsticks into either the Tora-Gari or Ul-Tora Gari attacks from One Piece. Each stand costs 1760 JPY ($11.80). [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The One Piece Tora-Gari and Ul-Tora Gari chopsticks stands appeared in stores on March 5, 2025. You can find them in the Castem Rakuten store or at places like Eslite. The stands themselves look like Zoro preparing to launch either the Tora-Gari or Ul-Tora Gari attacks. He already has a sword in his mouth, and your chopsticks will complete the swords he’s holding. The blade of the sword he’s carrying in his mouth, as well as his arm, will serve to your chopsticks.

While both stands are striking the same pose, Zoro himself looks different. The Ul-Tora Gari version features an older Zoro. His hairstyle reflects this change, and he’s also more muscular than the Tora-Gari version.

As Zoro is one of the more popular characters in One Piece, it’s not surprising to see him star in merchandise without the other of the crew. Goods that focus on his katana have appeared multiple times in the past as well. For example, in 2024, Bandai Namco announced Proplica swords of his weapons. You can even use them to pull off the Three-Sword Style yourself if you wanted to.

The One Piece chopsticks stands are readily available in stores in Japan.

One Piece Lego is on its way, as confirmed by both the official website and official One Piece social media . No further details have been revealed yet beyond a 2025 release window, however.

Lego revealed the announcement with a teaser trailer on the company’s website. It features a straw hat being grabbed by a stretchy Lego hand. As the hat is taken out of shot the One Piece theme kicks in and the words “coming soon” appear on screen. The collaboration will tie in with the Netflix live-action adaptation specifically. A press release from Netflix has confirmed multiple playsets are in production, although they have yet to announce any further details.

To celebrate, the manga’s original creator, Eiichiro Oda, shared a piece of artwork on social media.

As part of a collaboration with One Piece, Japanese skincare brand Sekkisei will release UV protection items that feature characters from the Straw Hat Pirates on the packaging. They’ll appear in Japan from February 16, 2025. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

You can get goods with Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper on them. The packaging includes the marketing line “Leave fighting the sunlight to us!” as if the Straw Hat Pirates plan on literally punching away UV rays before they can hit your skin. Luffy adorns the UV essence gel, Zoro is on the essence milk, and Chopper is on the UV softening milk. You can purchase them via the Sekkiei online shop, as well as any physical store that handles Sekkisei products.

Sekkisei is a very popular Japanese brand in Asia, and people of all ages and genders can use its products. It touts that it can give luminous and translucent skin, and is a go-to brand when it comes to brightening and whitening skin tone. You can now purchase it in countries outside of Asia. However, it’s highly unlikely that Sekkisei stores in countries like the United States will carry the One Piece collaboration skincare items.

One Piece is available on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, and Viz Media localizes the manga. Part 2 of the Egghead Arc in the anime will resume on April 6, 2025.

Bandai Namco announced its Bandai Spirits One Piece Nefertari Vivi Glitter and Glamours prize figure in both offline and online crane games in Japan. This is ahead of its wider debut, which includes the $24.99 figure being sold at places like Crunchyroll in April 2025.

This is a non-standard scale figure, but she is somewhere between 1/7 and 1/8 size since she stands at about 9 inches (23 cm) tall. It is static, so there are no additional face plates or arm parts to change her poses. As the Glitter and Glamours name suggests, the line is about portraying the characters at their best and most extravagant. As such, she’s wearing a pink dress and there are accessories with metallic gold paint on them. 

Here’s a closer look at the figure from different angles in official photos: 

The last One Piece character in this prize figure line was Princess Shirahoshi. She appeared in arcades in December 2024.

We’ll be seeing more of the character in 2025. This is because she’s already confirmed to be a part of season 2 of the One Piece live-action adaptation on Netflix. 

The Nefertari Vivi One Piece Glitter and Glamours prize figure is available in Japanese arcades now, and it will eventually be sold worldwide.
