I sure hope that apart from the main villain, we will have strong henchmen because Zoro vs Indigo was rather short and anticlimatic.
One Piece Film Z (Wrap Canon From the Manga Not Yet in the Anime with Spoiler Tags)

So if Strong World's release is anything to go on, we should get the first trailer with actual footage in early August?
-
But still, I hate having all the religious/supernatural stuff, and that is the one thing I really liked about One Piece over other Manga/Animes.
You say that in a series derived around Devil Fruit powers which come from a supernatural curse?
Just saying.
Sorry for being behind, but has a date for the movie been released yet?

I think it was 15th December.

Eh, I can see where he comes from, because I share his views. The 'religious/supernatural stuff' part is either missing, or very One-Piece-esque, rather than cookie-cutter-genre-defined stuff that doesn't fit in with One Piece. It is why I too absolutely hate the fifth movie; it is the typical sort of bland uninspired story I'd expect from Naruto or Bleach.
The devil fruit powers in One Piece have barely been defined, and unlike the typical 'religious' or 'spiritual' plot device, Oda continues to remind us there are scientific motivators and explanations behind it (see Enies Lobby arc, Jyabura being corrected about his superstition). The only thing supernatural about it so far is the name. We haven't seen fruits haunt people; they have not been shown to have any sort of will of their own. They have not made the moon drip blood or possessed people.
Simply put: the 'devil' in 'devil fruit' so far seems to come from superstition and lack of knowledge amongst the common folk in One Piece; in much the same way the church did exorcisms on crazy people who they thought were possessed, rather than understand that they were simply wrong in the head. Maybe some creature with sentience worthy of being called a devil is behind the fruits; but knowing the story so far and knowing Oda's originality, I doubt it will be anything close to Movie 5's plainness.
-
I kind of see your point when you put it like that.
FYI, I also don't think very highly of movie 5, so I'm not arguing. I prefer movie 4, 6, and Strong World myself. At least they feel more One Piece, unlike the others.

Now I'm wondering if we'll see it right after the Arlong special on August 25th…Although that would be late August of course.

New information in next WSJ, nice poster ^^
Is that man Aokiji!?

11th movie deserves a hawt Robin… :P
-
Ah, I wish that was bigger so that I could make out the costume sketches in the bottom left. Luffy's what looks like a button down and vest combo looks cool and simple. lol Usopp, I almost didn't recognize him.
-
That poster…
That Robin... :wub:
I can't wait for a high quality version of this to come out…
-
That moustache in Usopp is epic.
-
That's a pretty great poster. lol, Ussop.
-
That red haired Brooke….... hell yeah.
-
Nice poster, I find it amusingly ironic of how pirate-like they look.
Luffy needs a parrot on his shoulder to complete the look.

Oh fuck Oda's really going to include Aokiji in this movie. '__'
Oda-sensei <3
-
Seriously dat Robin and isn't Nami's skirt even shorter than usually? :blink:
-
This movie looks really good so far. I'm just in love with these new outfits. It's rare we get to see the gang looking truly traditional pirate-like. Although what is with Usopp's epic-stache, lol?
And Aokiji, huh? This movie may be closer to canon like Strong World, since we may get to see some things involving what Aokiji is doing these days after
! losing to Akainu.

Usopp with a red beard = SO FREAKING BOSS

I guess Usopp's new alias will be Redbeard. RIP, Whitebeard and Brownbeard, Usopp will carry on your legacies.

Rough translation from me, but here goes.
_A major incident occurs after the Straw Hats break into the New World.
The theatrical movie "Z".! The story focuses around Aokiji, two years later.
He has gotten involved!! These are his whereabouts after losing to Akainu, where he has been hiding.
Just what is Aokiji's goal?!_ The author commentsposted above are about the same. -
The movie looks epic so far. The bad things is that Oda isn't writing this one, but he is excutive producer. If he isn't writing it, it's going to suck badly. The anime writers will waste such a great character like Z.
-
Kuzan came back!!
-
So wait if the story involves Aokiji is it canon? I'm really hoping to see his character develop further in the series, hopefully this won't be all we see of him!
-
! I'm thinking we'll see Kuzan in the manga sometime before the movie premieres…
-
! I'm thinking we'll see Kuzan in the manga sometime before the movie premieres…
that's what i'm thinking to
-
Now we will have endless debates if this will be canon or not… similar to Strong World
-
From the sounds of things, I'm surprised Oda isn't directing this one but actualy directed Strong World, Film Z just seems more canon (thus far).

@Naruto:

Movie 4, 6, and 9 were great movies in their own right and Oda didn't write those. Even Movie 2 was pretty decent.

Oda didn't direct Strong World, he just came up with the story and did the character designs and some layouts.
And yeah, I don't how they're gonna do this, considering…
! The Straw Hats go to Punk Hazard right after they leave Fishman Island

! If no one go to join the crew before the start of next arc, we can say the movie appeares between PH Arc and the next, we can't?

They could always pull a Super Mario Bros. 2…

Holy crap that poster is amazing!
I guess those designs are the ones which'll be used for merchandise. -

wasn't it said this movie is before they ever go there though?
-

He better. I'd hate the idea of Oda letting a movie play into his story.
! Makes me think that Aokiji has to appear on Punk Hazard.
-
or maybe Kuzan'll be a flying Jolly that will appeares more time in the story… the point here is if
! kuzan'll meet the mugiwaras in the movie before the manga…
-
This movie just became much more interesting to me. Thanks for the info! Can't wait for larger pictures.
-
I just realized… where's Luffy's hat? That and Franky's arms and Brook's afro are differently coloured. Which is cool.
-
-
-
Is that post-timeskip Aokiji!!!!?!/!? If so, Aokiji = even more amazing.
-
For some reason Aokiji's new design reminds me a lot of what he looked like during Robin's flashback: http://www.mangapanda.com/103-2504-10/one-piece/chapter-397.html
-
-
thats a nice movie postar
and if aokiji in this movie this means…......
koyasuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
It's gonna be awesome.
Also,Aokiji's appearance now is super cool.We will get new info in the next issue?
-
! Maybe Film Z takes place between Punk Hazard, and, the next major arc. So, the Strawhat's could meet Aokiji between now and then. If it turns out to be canon, that is.
-
Seeing how the anime is going, the FI arc might not be over until close to the end of the year, which is when this movie releases. I think this movie could take place right after the crew
! leaves Fishman island, and enters the new world, and right before the Punk Hazard arc. Could be wrong though.
-
Not a big fan of the movies, even if Strongworld is cannon the fact that Luffy and Zoro have almsot haki like powers when their friend's are in danger make is seem out of place. Luffy's glowing gear 2nd thing and Nami ever saying that she said just leave her is stupid (even though she said "please come and save me"). I stick to cannon which is chapter 0 and anything else be damned MUHAHAHA

One Piece Z - 2nd report: Aokiji in the MIX!
Hi guys, I got a hot news, now we know a little more about the next One Piece movie (check our first report about this movie); It's Aokiji who will be in the movie!!! Yes, the former-admiral (sorry for the spoil) will be "maybe, but will appear for sure" a main character in the movie, Oda has finally shown up the new look of Aokiji, and also, the Z costumes of the Mugiwaras. Guys, they are just AWESOME!!! I wonder if Megahouse will produce a new line concerning this movie… Hit Read more to see them!
The new Aokiji is looking so cool and a little like Jango, Sanji is looking like a Black Doflamingo, and the biggest surprise: a covered Nami! (I love Brook's new hair style too)…--- Update From New Post Merge ---
**OP Film 'Z' promotional poster in new JUMP with CRAAAAAZY info. They're going to meet up with Kuzan. Hmmmmm….. That makes the question of canon problematic.
! They're gonna meet Kuzan and NOT know what went down at Punk Hazard? Anyway, check the 'staches. Pretty sweet. Love following the theme of 'red' as well.
Also, I can just barely make out the name of one of what APPEARS to be one of Z's coho…rts, 'Ein'. Perhaps from 'Einstein'. This goes along with 'Z' being a former Marine and having access to some very bright individuals.
Anyway, here's what you really wanted to read, A MESSAGE FROM ODA:
I'm doing a movie for the first time in three years!!
Just 'cause I'm involved doesn't mean I'm gonna sail through it. I've got a whole bag of surprises in store for ya!! The whole staff is REALLY fired up!! GRAAAAAH!!!** -
Is that a scar on aokijis chest I see?
