New One Piece: Red Synopsis Uncovers Big Spoilers

One Piece: Red is looking to bring back Shanks, the man responsible for helping Luffy on his quest to becoming the king of the pirates, but Monkey’s mentor isn’t alone. The fifteenth film of the Shonen series will also introduce Shanks’ daughter, Uta, as the ultimate diva and alongside a new trailer, a new synopsis for the film has arrived that reveals some wild new details about the challenges that the Straw Hat Pirates will be facing in the movie hitting theaters in Japan next month.    

The new official description for One Piece: Red reads as such: 

“Uta — the most beloved singer in the world. Her voice, which she sings with while concealing her true identity, has been described as “otherworldly.”

She will appear in public for the first time at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans — excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance — the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is “Shanks’ daughter.” Uta stands on the stage, with the ordinary wish of “Making the world happy with my music.” There’s Gordon, a mysterious character who knows Uta’s past, and glimpses of Shanks’ shadow. On Elegia, the island of music, Luffy and Uta reunite for the first time since they last met 12 years ago in Foosha Village.”

If you haven’t had the opportunity to see the new trailer that also revealed new characters and story beats in the fifteenth film of the Shonen franchise, you can watch it on the Official One Piece Youtube Channel below:

Eiichiro Oda has a heavy role in the creation of this new movie, with the mangaka currently preparing for the final story of One Piece’s manga that is set to bring the journey of the Straw Hat Pirates to a close. Following the major events that took place in the War For Wano, Luffy and his Straw Hats have added another member to their ranks and with Monkey now having the Gear Fifth transformation at his beck and call, it definitely seems as though Oda is looking to ramp up the stakes for the last call of the series.
