A one-day screening of One Piece on Ice will be held in theaters nationwide in Japan on July 9, 2024. This event will include a live stage greeting from the cast, featuring Masama Uno as Monkey D. Luffy, Marin Honda as Vivi, Takahito Mura as Crocodile, and Rika Hongo as Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and the stage greeting will be broadcast live to participating theaters.
The screening is designed to celebrate the return of One Piece on Ice- Episode of Alabaster, which originally appeared in 2023. This show could be compared to the Disney on Ice ones held in North America, as it combines events from the One Piece anime and manga with figure skating. Various skaters perform tricks as characters set to the anime’s dialogue, enhanced by projection mapping and light effects.
The event will take place at Marunouchi Piccadilly in Tokyo, with tickets priced at 5,500 yen (approximately $50 USD). Pre-order tickets are available from June 13-18, 2024, with general sales starting on June 22, 2024. Live viewing tickets for theaters nationwide will be priced at 4,500 yen (approximately $41 USD), with pre-orders open from June 13-23, 2024 and general sales from July 4-8, 2024. There is no word yet if the performance could also be broadcast outside of Japan.
The One Piece manga is available outside Japan via Viz Media, while Crunchyroll and Netflix feature the anime. The live action series is on Netflix.
