The character visuals of Ryuma, Cyrano, and Flare were revealed. They will be the primary characters of this short anime. The voice actors for them have not yet been announced.
The story is set before the events of ‘One Piece,’ and it follows the adventures of Ryuma. He is Zoro’s ancestor and a legendary swordsman who hails from the Land of Wano in ‘One Piece.’
‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ and ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’ director Sunghoo Park directs the anime and is also in charge of composition at Park’s new studio, E&H production. The anime will be the length of a single episode, as the manga is a one-shot.
2023 was an amazing year for ‘One Piece’ fans, with the ongoing plot in the manga, the conclusion of the “Wano Country arc,” and Netflix’s ‘One Piece TV series’ breaking the live-action curse.
This fantastic year ends on a high note as we draw closer to the “Egg Head arc” in ‘One Piece’ anime and the premiere of ‘Monster.’ Mark your calendars, as you do not want to miss out on these.
