One Piece Film: Red is undoubtedly one of the

most anticipated anime films, with fans
anticipating its release with bated breath. The
film, which focuses on Shanks and his daughter,
Uta, has finally hit the big screen in Japan. The
rest of the world is eagerly awaiting the film to
arrive in their respective countries.

Having said that, the main question that every

fan has is whether or not this film is canon. Many
anime fans have this question because many
series make movies a part of the ongoing saga,
while the majority of them make it a spinoff or
explore the past of an existing character.

Let's examine whether or not One Piece Film:

Red is canon, and if not, what the movie's plot is.

Understanding whether or not

One Piece Film: Red is canon
The film will not be canon, just like the previous
14 films that One Piece has released so far.
However, things are not that simple since fans
are advised to watch this movie given Eiichiro
Oda is someone that specializes in
foreshadowing. It is highly possible that the
latest film belonging to this series could contain
canon information. Shanks as a character hasn't
been explored in depth, and this film will focus
entirely on him.

According to Shimizu, Film RED will seemingly

not be canon in terms of manga timeline
continuity, but suggests that canon information
may be revealed in it, which might include stuff
that Oda originally planned for Shanks in the
manga: thelibraryofohara.com/2022/02/03/big…

Since that is the case, it is possible that One

Piece Film: Red will contain information that
might not necessarily follow the ongoing plot but
could serve as connecting dots to some of the
many mysteries. From a plot standpoint, Shanks
is a very important character, and therefore it is
important to watch the movie. This means that
the movie will not be canon to the current
timeline that the manga is following. However, it
will explore Shanks’ secrets. The producer,
Shimizu, believes that Eiichiro Oda’s movies are
just as important as the manga itself.

To sum things up, the film is not canon to the

ongoing story, but it certainly explores elements
that are relevant to the current plot. More
specifically, the movie will explore Shanks and
unravel some of the mysteries surrounding this
character.

Uta is considered to be one of the best, if not the

best, singers in the world. One thing that stands

the entire world excited as she is about to reveal
her identity to the whole world in a live concert.
Pirates gather from far and wide to witness
