To commemorate the “One Piece” manga for reaching volume 100, the picture scroll “100 Views of Pirates” was drawn by the original author Oda Eiichirou. The figure based on that picture scroll has been announced under BANDAI SPIRITS. The developments such as “Figure”, “Ichiban Kuji”, and “Amusement Prize” will start from October 2021.
“100 Views of Pirates” feature the Top 50 characters from the 1st worldwide character popularity contest “WORLD TOP 100” that was held from January 2021. This picture scroll was drawn by Oda and it was revealed in three parts for three consecutive weeks on “Weekly Shounen Jump” from August 30.
To commemorate the manga for hitting 100 volumes, BANDAI SPIRITS has announced the release of the figures based on “100 Views of Pirates” under three different brands, which are the non-movable figure series “Figuarts ZERO” under the adult collectible product brand “TAMASHII NATIONS”, the character lottery where everyone wins “Ichiban Kuji”, and the amusement specialty goods “Banpresto”.
The lineup for “Ichiban Kuji” consists of the “100 Views of Pirate” figures, visual boards, general goods, and others. The liveliness of the figure as if the character has jumped out of the “100 Views of Pirate was expressed via the detail recreation from the “100 Views of Pirate”, such as the posture, coloring, and effects, and the back panel with the special specification that is usually used on the illustration of Oda Eiichirou.
