On March 17, Japanese TV Channel Fuji TV broadcasted the very first real trailer for the upcoming One Piece movie, One Piece Film: Gold.

Two weeks ago, Japanese TV Channel Fuji Television’s “Mezamashi TV” daily morning show revealed a few new images of the One Piece Film: Gold movie, unveiling the flashy setting for the 2016 movie. Furthermore, a One Piece Film: Gold and Toho Cinemas collaborative video had also been released showing off the Straw Hat crew in video made in rough, line art showing off their One Piece Film: Gold. Today, however, Fuji TV broadcasted the very first, actual, full colour trailer for the One Piece Film: Gold movie. Revealing that not only new character, legendary gambler and Revolution Army member “Rays Max” (tentative english spelling), but also the post-timeskip Fleet Admiral Akainu will be playing a role in this movie.

Gild: “Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the world’s biggest city of entertainment, Grand Tesoro!”

Gild: “Tonight, fools blinded by their avarice and dreaming of striking gold, will visit this ship once again.”

Gild: “This place is an independent state recognized as such by the government.”

Text: “An absolute sanctuary not even the World Government can lay a hand on”

Gild: “Without further ado, please enjoy to your heart’s content the moment that dreams and hope turn into despair. Because THAT is the ultimate form of entertainment!”

Text: “The ‘monsters’ of the New World are moving out.”

Crowd: “KILL THEM!!”

Gild: “This is the most terrific stage, wouldn’t you say? What will you do, Straw Hat?”

Luffy: “I’m going to beat you to a pulp!”

We have provided you with a transcript of the written and spoken Japanese (that was understandable) in this clip from the Mezamashi TV episode, so enjoy! Once we find a better quality of this trailer, we will be sure to update this post, so keep checking!

One Piece Film: Gold is set to release in Japan on July 23, while release dates for outside of Japan have yet to be revealed. The movie seems to mostly be set in the One Piece world’s biggest golden “entertainment city,” the Gran Tesoro. The Gran Tesoro, a giant entertainment city run by Gild Tesoro and his other Tesoro crew members, is also known as an independent state recognized by the World Government.
