Today, Universal Studios Japan shared the trailer for this year’s One Piece Premier Show. The premier show, which utilizes the park’s Waterworld venue, features live action stunts with a combination of pyrotechnics and special effects and is usually centered around a theme or arc. In 2015, the show revolved around brothers Ace, Sabo and Luffy. This year’s performance called “A Vow Becomes Strength” promises to be even greater with additional special effects creating a “higher degree of realism” and the largest battle scene yet. According to the synopsis on USJ’s site, part of the show will focus on the end of the Dressrosa Arc and Luffy’s encounter with Fujitora. Viewers will also be treated to a reenactment of the iconic scene where Shanks gives Luffy his straw hat. Based on the trailer, we may also see some pivotal moments of the other Straw Hats such as Sanji leaving the Baratie and Zoro’s first encounter with Mihawk.

Performances begin on Friday, July 1 and run through Sunday, October 2 for a total of 84 shows.

Tickets for the One Piece Premier Show are currently on sale. The website did let me buy tickets for the show; the other events required the input of a prefecture and may not be as easy to purchase if you do not live in Japan. The Japan Travel Bureau (JTB) should have tickets available around June 1. We will update this post once we have more information about tickets.
