Are the One Piece Movies Canon?
Last updated
So, you’re diving deep into the world of One Piece and you’re hitting a big question: Are the One Piece movies canon? Let’s get right into it and find a treasure trove of answers.
When we say something is ‘canon’, it means it’s part of the main story that the original creator made. So, when asking if the One Piece movies are canon, we’re really wondering if they fit into the main storyline that Eiichiro Oda has been spinning since 1997.
Short Answer: Not Really
Most of the One Piece movies are not considered canon. They’re like bonus adventures that don’t fit directly into the manga or anime’s main story. Think of them as fun side quests that you can enjoy without affecting the main journey.
The reason is simple: Eiichiro Oda, the mastermind behind One Piece, didn’t write most of these movies. They were created by other talented folks who wanted to give us more of the One Piece world to enjoy. Even though Oda has had some involvement, like designing characters or serving as an executive producer in a few, they don’t directly advance the main plot of the Straw Hat Pirates.
