What is One Piece RED about?
The One Piece franchise has risen to greater heights of popularity with the anime series nearing the climax of the Wano arc. The manga has been dropping a ton of backstory that has blown the minds of fans, and is laying the stage for a great battle royale.
Meanwhile, One Piece RED follows the Straw Hat Pirates as they, along with everyone else from around the world, attend the live concert of famous pop star Uta on the Island of Music, Elegia.
This is the first time she has presented herself to the world, and more details about her have been disclosed than fans had expected. One surprising fact is that she is Luffy's childhood friend and the daughter of the infamous Yonko, "Red-Haired" Shanks.
As the plot thickens, it is revealed that Uta intends to end world conflict by singing and trapping people in a mysterious dimension with the help of her Sing Sing Fruit. But, if she dies, everyone will perish.
The film is outstanding as it flawlessly combines the musical genre with a terrific narrative, a compelling villain, and incredible action sequences.
