If you’re already eager to get your hands on these exclusive cards, the good news is that pre-orders are open right now. But act fast, because pre-orders are set to close on November 12, unless they run out earlier due to overwhelming demand. The estimated delivery date for these collectibles is April 2024.
The success of the live-action One Piece adaptation has been a ray of hope for anime enthusiasts, especially since past attempts by various companies often left fans wanting more. However, the first season of One Piece on Netflix received resounding praise, leading to the quick announcement of a second season.
What’s especially noteworthy is the exceptional casting in the live-action series, with many agreeing that the actors perfectly embody the personalities from Eiichiro Oda’s original manga. Oda himself was deeply involved in the adaptation, ensuring that everything met his high standards. He even conducted rare interviews in the West to promote the show, underlining his belief in its quality.
Oda’s support extends to the One Piece anime as well, particularly the “Wano” arc, which had fans eagerly anticipating iconic moments. In fact, Oda admitted to shedding tears while watching the anime, praising its faithfulness to the manga. With the manga entering its “final arc,” Oda reassured fans that he won’t rush its conclusion, determined not to disappoint his loyal followers.
For those who haven’t dived into the live-action series yet, the first season is already available on Netflix. So, if you’re a One Piece fan, it’s a great time to explore this new adaptation and snag these stunning collectible cards to add to your treasure trove!
