One Piece: Stampede Confirms U.S. Home Video Release

One Piece: Stampede is the most successful movie in the franchise, but despite this fact, the film only briefly appeared in North American theaters for a few days. For those who might have missed out on Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates participating in the Pirates Expo to find a lost treasure of Gol D. Roger’s, we have some good news for you! The fourteenth film of the One Piece franchise will arrive on home video for fans to consume early next year, letting Straw Hat fans experience the action packed tale of the Grand Line!

Twitter User SkippyTheRobot shared the North American release date for the Blu-Ray/DVD release with the home video package dropping on March 17th of next year, 2020, giving fans the opportunity to witness the action packed tale that gives us one of the best adventures in Straw Hat Pirates’ history:

2019 has been an insane year for the One Piece franchise, with not just the release of this successful film, but also the Wano Country arc that is taking place in both the anime and manga, touted by fans as one of the best stories of the franchise to date. With Luffy and the Straw Hats attempting to completely re-unite following their time skip of two years, they enter the isolated nation of Wano where numerous challenges and deadly villains await them.

Luffy and his Straw Hat pirate crew are invited to a massive Pirate Festival that brings many of the most iconic characters from throughout the franchise to participate in competition with the Straw Hats to find Roger’s treasure.
