One Piece Film: Red is the latest feature film based on characters from the
best-selling Weekly Shonen JUMP manga series about a crew of pirates
sailing the seas in search of a legendary treasure. The series’ original
creator Eiichiro Oda is overseeing the project as Executive Producer, and
also designed the original characters for this brand-new story, including
Uta, the most beloved singer in the world - and the daughter of Shanks, the
legendary pirate who inspired the series’ protagonist Monkey D. Luffy.
One Piece Film: Red is directed by Goro Taniguchi, who previously helmed
One Piece: Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack!, the very first One Piece
animation, with a screenplay by Tsutomu Kuroiwa (One Piece Film: Gold).
Synopsis:
Uta — the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own
identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as
“otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to
the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans
— excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by
Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance — the voice that
the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins
with the shocking fact that she is Shanks' daughter.
