The popularity of the One Piece series is increasingly boundless. Based on the long-running manga series from mangaka Eiichiro Oda, the One Piece franchise has not just launched an equally long-running anime. The success of the story has spawned a Netflix live-action series, video games, spin-off standalone films, ice skating performances, and more. More recently, inspired by the increasing rise in popularity, Luffy has taken to the pitch now, too.
Baseball and anime fans can rejoice with One Piece Night returning to Dodger Stadium. From casual viewers to longstanding devotees, the night is a chance to celebrate with a group of like-minded fans. The Los Angeles Dodgers are partnering with Toei Animation for a one-day stadium promotion celebrating the series, following the success of the 2025 event. From Fenway to Dodger Stadium, the Straw Hat crew is showing its pop-culture dominance.
