Are the One Piece Movies Canon? Let’s Find Out!

Ever wondered if the One Piece movies fit into the same storyline as the manga and anime? You’re not alone. It’s a question many fans think about.

Let’s dive into whether the One Piece movies are canon or not.

Short Answer: Mostly Not

Most of the One Piece movies are not considered canon. This means they don’t directly contribute to the main story as told in the manga and anime.

Generally, the movies are fun side stories. They are created to entertain and show characters in different situations but don’t usually affect the main storyline. However, there are a few exceptions, which involve some input from the manga’s creator, Eiichiro Oda, making parts of them feel closer to the main story.

One Exception and Oda’s Involvement

While most movies stand apart, “One Piece Film: Z” and “One Piece Film: Gold” have been noted for having more involvement from Eiichiro Oda. He participated in their production and story creation, bringing elements that fit snugly into the One Piece universe. Yet, even these movies are not strictly considered canon in the way the manga and anime episodes are.

The term ‘canon’ refers to the official storyline, and in the case of One Piece, that’s primarily the manga and the anime adaptation that follows it closely. The movies, although amazing experiences, are more like delightful detours on the grand adventure of Luffy and his crew.
