One Piece: Red Enters The Fashion World With Uniqlo

By Evan Valentine

One Piece: Red has become the biggest movie following Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, with the fifteenth film bringing back Red-Haired Shanks while also introducing his daughter, the ultimate diva Uta. Now, to help in celebrating this new anime movie, Uniqlo is creating a new fashion line that was focus on the Straw Hats' looks that are featured in the movie. With these new aesthetics coming to the United States on the silver screen this November, the partnership will be hitting right during the spooky season.        

Landing later in October, the line will feature new takes on the likes of Luffy, Zoro, Uta, Sanji, Nami, and Shanks to name a few. With One Piece: Red already featuring a number of new outfits that the Straw Hat Pirates will wear in this fifteenth film in the Shonen franchise, there appear to be plenty of designs to choose from. At present, Uta's motivations have yet to be revealed, with the television series taking a break from the War For Wano and examining the early years that saw Luffy and Shanks' daughter interacting long before they both hit the Grand Line. 

Uniqlo's Official Twitter Account shared the new shirt designs that will be hitting retailers beginning on October 27th:

One Piece: Red has already hit theaters in Japan earlier this year, with a global release, including North America, set for November 4th this fall. If you need a closer look into the story featuring the return of Shanks and the introduction of his daughter, Uta, the official description reads as such:

"Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as "otherworldly." Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to the world 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."
