1. The Best selling One Piece Movie

So far, One Piece Film: Red has grossed more than 15 billion yen, as of September 20, 2022. And this makes One Piece the best-selling film and exceeds the record for One Piece Film: Z.

In addition to being the best-selling One Piece film, this film is also the best-selling film in 2022 in Japan. The 13th best-selling film of all time in Japan and one of the best-selling films in the world.

2. Uta Isn't Shanks' Son

In the trailer for this film, some fans were shocked by Luffy's words explaining that Uta was the daughter of Shanks. Of course this also makes all the characters in the film shocked, including several Navy officials to several World Governments.

However, after the narrative continued, only Uta's true identity was revealed. Although Uta is called Shanks' child, in fact he is not Shanks' womb. Uta is found by young Shanks in a treasure chest.

Nach, since then Uta has been seen as his own daughter by Shanks. Until, Luffy also explained that Uta was Shanks' son.

3. Cooperation of Goro Taniguchi, Oda Eichiiro and Tsutomu Kuroiwa

Before making One Piece Film: Red, Oda Eiichiro had asked the producers of Toei Animation for two things. First, Oda Eiichiro asked to be directed by someone who had not yet participated in the anime series. And the second desire to give 'an important role for female character'.

Until in the end the director for this film fell on Goro Taniguchi who was called Oda Eiichiro's old colleague. Goro Taniguchi was originally the director of the One Piece OVA: Defeat The Pirate Ganzak!.

Oda himself explained that Goro Taniguchi was the first person to 'turn on' Luffy's character. And in this film, Goro Taniguchi again wants to express One Piece that has never been seen before.

Oda Eiichiro participated more and more in the making of One Piece Film Red. In this film, he is an executive producer, so he can keep an eye on changes in the making of the film. And this is the third film directly produced by Oda Eiichiro after One Piece Film: Z and One Piece Film Gold.

In addition to Goro Taniguchi and Oda Eiichiro, the film is being worked on by Tsutomu Kuoiwa as screenwriter.

 4. Luffy's Newest Kick

 

In this film there is a huge clue related to Luffy's moves. In the manga, actually this latest move has been shown. But if in the anime series, this move is never really shown because it seems it is still quite far from that scene.

Luffy's latest move is known as Gear 5. When you watch this Gear 5 move, you will be fascinated because of its greatest ability. When using this move, Luffy's body is also slightly different and tends to be white.

At the very least, now some fans can watch Luffy's awesome and animated transformation for the first time on a big monitor. So there's no need to wait for the anime to witness Luffy's best transition ever. One Piece Film: Red has animated Luffy's Gear 5 transition episode in an epic way.

5. The reason for the creation of the main character

Of the 14 One Piece films, Uta is indeed the first female character that Oda made as the main or special character of the narrative. Nach, you can find out other important characters in this film in the article 11 Important Characters in One Piece Film: Red that you need to know.

For those of you who have often seen the One Piece film, of course you know that in general, the special character as the main narrative is generally the character of a legendary man. Like the characters Shiki, Z, Gild Tesoro and Douglas Bullet, which are called the characters from the last 5 films of One Piece.

Oda admitted that he made Uta's character because he was tired of drawing the legendary old man. Therefore Oda created the character of Uta and wanted to enhance the special female character instead. The following simple argument made Oda create the character of Uta.

6. Jinbei's Appearance After Being a Straw Hat Pirate Crew

For adherents of the One Piece anime, of course you already know that Jinbei is a character as a candidate for the Straw Hat pirate crew. But if in the anime, Jinbei is not legal to be a Straw Hat crew because of different matters and one thing. Even though Jinbei had said he wanted to join the Straw Hat crew.

However, surprisingly, in this film Jinbei already exists as a member of the Straw Hat crew. And he went to sea with the Straw Hat crew. So, it is possible that One Piece Film: Red is set after the events in the Wano Arc.

And for those who follow the One Piece manga, Jinbei's arrival in this film is not a strange thing. Regarding the narration in the manga, it can be faster than the narration in the anime.

7. First World Government Member Appearance

Apart from Jinbei, this film also features the five elders of the World Government for the first time. And as interesting as Big Mom and the Red Hair Pirates are also in this film.

In this film, it seems clear that the five elders of the World Government are 'watching over' Uta, especially because of his abilities. Besides, they may have something to do with Shanks' appearance in this film.
