Go on an adventure with Luffy and his friends

Determined to find the legendary treasure known as One Piece, which will allow him to become the Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew travel the seas of the New World.

When he learns that Uta, his childhood friend who has become a world famous singer, is holding a concert, Luffy decides not to join him. But he quickly discovers that Uta has changed a lot and wants to use his new powers to create a new world that he believes is more just.

Sleek animation, high-energy fights, avalanches of avalanches… One Piece – Red, the fifteenth feature film to date adapted from the most popular (and profitable) manga license of all time, is available on Prime Video from January 17th and is all written by mangaka Eiichiro Oda. And painted for lovers of the original work.

However, whether they were up-to-date with the manga’s plot or not, viewers were amazed by the storyline of the red opus. Indeed, it contains a revelation of an unprecedented scale, which did not cause an uproar on social networks.

Did you miss this important information? Here’s a rundown of things to remember… and things that might prove important in future One Piece volumes. Warning, spoilers!

A scenario full of surprises… even for the most diligent reader!

The story of Uta, the lead actor One piece – red, is closely related to Eiichiro Oda’s iconic manga character: Red Shanks, Luffy’s mentor and hero himself. Indeed, he is none other than Uta’s father!

For avid readers of the original work, every appearance of this mythical figure became synonymous with excitement. Powerful and mysterious, this member of the Four Emperors (the four greatest pirates of the universe) one piece) is closely intertwined with the issues of the final narrative arcs of the story. Viewers were therefore surprised to learn that he had a daughter, who was never mentioned in the manga, and learned more about their relationship.

Some fans might counter that movies adapted from the license don’t appear in the story canon like the irreplaceable special series. However, the most recent One Piece feature films have systematically updated the official elements of their plot that are properly considered canon: the powerful universe in the Shiki movie, the return of Kuzan in One Piece – Z or even the existence of Log Pose (a kind of compass). ) leading directly to the eponymous treasure, the central plot element of the feature film Stampede. Similarly, the revelations about Shanks are to be taken very seriously indeed, especially the ones about his birth!

Indeed, during the last third of the film, the audience was surprised to discover Gol D. Roger (the former Pirate King) and his second Shanks, who later became their apprentice. He was just found when he was a baby, hidden in a treasure chest. It is even more shocking that he was first given a last name, a family name Figarland.

If the name raised a few eyebrows when the film came out because it was never mentioned in the story and therefore meant nothing, a few months later it took on a whole new meaning. Regular readers of the manga were delighted to discover another character with this name. This one, which first appeared in chapter 1086, so it seems to be a logical connection to Shanks and his story. His father, uncle…? Readers will have to be a little more patient to find out!

Meanwhile, One Piece fans can find Luffy and his mentor Shanks in One Piece – Red starting January 17th on Prime Video!
