With a legacy spanning over two decades, “One Piece” continues to be a beacon of unyielding popularity. Just recently, the anime aired Luffy’s Gear 5 episodes, which sent the internet into a frenzy and broke the anime community. The latest One Piece movie, One Piece Film Red, which came out last year, became One of the Highest-Grossing Japanese Films Ever. And there’s a great amount of hype for the new live-action series made under the supervision of Oda-sensei that is slated to hit Netflix next week.
One Piece continues to be utterly popular and continues to reinvent its popularity into new realms. These continued triumphs of One Piece serve as a testament to the enduring enchantment woven by Eiichiro Oda and his remarkable storytelling prowess, alongside Toei Animation’s incredibly consistent work, which has pushed the roof time and time again and has managed to keep the ship sailing smoothly week after week.

From the evocative allure of the East Blue to the enigma of the Grand Line, the escapades of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew resonate with audiences of every age and have taken millions into an adventure of a lifetime with Luffy and the Straw Hats. Even after two decades, the show continues to have the ability to captivate the fans and give them some truly unforgettable memories, be it pulse-pounding battles or heartwarming emotional moments that resonate with us all.
It should be noted that this staggering achievement doesn’t even encompass the colossal Chinese audience that Bilibili has in its homeland, as they have a different platform and licensing to stream anime in Mainland China.
One thing is certain though, it will be the first anime to cross over 3 billion views, which it will eventually do and continue to captivate the vast seas of our imagination for generations to come.
