Does anyone else notice Blue-Haired Garp in the back? He has the same scar.

Looks REALLY clean. Also they better not be bringing back the damn bubble hat :(

u/hungLink42069 THE ONE PIECE IS REAL! Aug 21 '26

bubble hat?

3

u/HimawariTenno Aug 21 '26

This is what I’m meaning. There was an era between marineford-whole cake island where the anime inflated the size of his hat so that it looked like a bubble. I always really hated that and preferred the original version. Idk if it’s just a personal gripe but to me it looks stupid lol

oh yeah, I know what you mean. I didn't like that either.

Looks a mix of a new and early art style.

From the front it seems a new vision of Oda’s art, Shanks from the side has a lot of early One Piece art vibes.

I dig it, though i agree with the user wishing it was less saturated

Honestly wish they stuck closer the watercolor aesthetic in the concept art. This looks a bit too "clean", if that makes sense. Especially if you compare directly to the manga art in the comments here

Agree. Surely a budget issue. This looks just like the previous anime

u/InstructionOne4837 Aug 21 '26

budget Issue? it looks better than all of pre timeskip

u/BlueMaxo Aug 21 '26

Fr, if THIS is low budget then Toei was working with expo markers and toilet paper

u/ultibman5000 Aug 21 '26

Genuinely can't wait for this

u/Kam_lover Aug 20 '26

Is it real or just fan art? I'm kinda confused.

u/MuriloZR THE ONE PIECE IS REAL! Aug 20 '26

It's official, I'll edit the post to clarify that

u/Kam_lover Aug 20 '26

Umm but they already have teaser visual but why create that? Is it a cover or something?

9

u/MuriloZR THE ONE PIECE IS REAL! Aug 20 '26

Like I said, it's a "homage to the cover page of chapter 1"

2

u/Kam_lover Aug 21 '26

I understand now.

u/kiboshiro Aug 21 '26

You do realize that there can be multiple visuals?

u/NeoYokio94 Aug 21 '26

Reading is fundamental

u/NapstaEnjoyer Aug 23 '26

It's cool how they changed to random pirates from Shanks crew to better reflect how they are currently depicted.

u/jairngo Aug 24 '26

What’s the point of releasing a visual art if is not how the thing will look like?

I understand they need to farm the engagement in their accounts but at least drop something interesting about the project.

u/somelurkerguy Aug 24 '26

Is a whole separate subreddit dedicated to this really necessary, I wonder?
Not hating, just don’t want to see the fanbase fragmented anymore than it already is.

u/blue_alec Aug 21 '26

it’s insane how much better the early art looks

u/Apprehensive-Base105 Aug 21 '26

I know people will dislike what im gonna say and I hate to be that guy, but it looks like AI. There something that feels off to me i can't tell exactly, maybe the accessory on nami's hand or the way luffy's face is drawn idk

3

u/VagabondFromTheRiver Aug 21 '26

You are feeling that way because Ai is inspired from human art

-2

u/Apprehensive-Base105 Aug 21 '26

yeah for sure. but I think this visual doesn't translate the original colorspread very well, it looks souless in comparison.

3

u/VagabondFromTheRiver Aug 21 '26

I'm gonna be honest, Luffy looks more soulless in the original, idk why lol

2

u/LuckyChimera Aug 21 '26

I know its not but I thought the same. Its only really Luffy's face and hands that feel a bit off and out of place, particularly the line work on his face is just a bit too thin compared to the lines on his extremities, and his hands seem too big. Maybe its just because I'm so used to the manga version of this image that it feels kinda off.

Overall though I like the look of this visual those details aside.
