This collaboration adds to a series of impressive partnerships for Eiichiro Oda’s franchise, following recent collaborations with the MLB’s Boston Red Sox and the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams. The success of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the original manga likely contributed to the heightened visibility and popularity of the One Piece brand, opening up opportunities for such collaborations.
Oda’s manga continues to dominate the industry as history’s best-selling manga series, with over 523.2 million copies in circulation across 61 countries and regions worldwide as of December 2023. Its unparalleled success extends to being the best-selling comic series in book volume, encompassing both manga and American comics from major publishers like Marvel and DC.
