▍About One Piece Film Red
One Piece Film Red is the fourth movie of the One Piece Film series for which the original creator, Eiichiro Oda, supervises as the general producer. The film will be directed by Goro Taniguchi, known for his work in the Code Geass series, and written by Tsutomu Kuroiwa, who also wrote the screenplay for One Piece Film Gold.
The stage of One Piece Film Red is an island where the world-famous diva Uta will perform for the first time in front of the public. Uta’s singing voice, which is transmitted while hiding her identity, is said to be too wonderful that it is “another dimension.” Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates counterpart, who came to the island to enjoy her angelic voice, learned that Uta was Shanks’ daughter while fans all over the world filled the venue. The story of Shanks, who is still a mysterious person, Uta, and Luffy are unfolded.
