One Piece: Red Cosplay Sings The Film's Praises With Uta

By Nick Valdez

One Piece has officially hit theaters across Japan with its latest feature film effort, and one awesome cosplay is hyping up One Piece Film: Red's theatrical launch with its new character, Uta! One Piece is currently in the midst of celebrating its 25th Anniversary of the original manga hitting Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and the anime franchise has celebrated with a new feature film effort that shined a light on the elusive Red-Haired Shanks. Not only that, but it's promising to showcase even more of this fan favorite's history by introducing his daughter, the mysterious Uta.  

There's very little known about Uta thus far as to how she relates to Luffy's past (though that will be explored further in special tie-in episodes from the anime), and even more mysteries as to how she relates to her father. We're starting to see Shanks in action for the first real time, and Uta is definitely a key point of interest. Now this new face has been brought to life through some awesome cosplay from artist @seracoss on Instagram. Check it out below: 

Directed by Code Geass franchise director Goro Taniguchi, written by One Piece: Gold writer Tsutomu Kuroiwa, and with original series creator Eiichiro Oda as creative producer, One Piece Film: Red is now making its way across theaters in Japan as of this past weekend, and Crunchyroll will be bringing it to North America later this Fall. As for what to expect from the new movie when it hits later this year, they officially describe the film 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."
