Next week’s Weekly Shonen Jump features a very special sneak peek at two character designs for the upcoming movie One Piece Film: Gold. The first design is called “Kintaro Luffy.“ Kintaro, also translated as “Golden Boy”, is a famous Japanese folk tale about a boy of superhuman strength who is raised on a mountain by an old hag, befriends the animals of the mountain, and wrestles a giant bear. Sounds familiar…

Luffy is wearing what looks like a helmet with a skull on the front and something that resembles a kesho-mawashi. A “kesho-mawashi” is what Kintaro wears and the character on front reads “kin” or “gold”. The second design in the bottom left shows a “mysterious man” in a suit. Perhaps a possible villain?

As announced earlier, One Piece Film: Gold will hit Japanese theaters on July 23, 2016. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda will reprise his role as the executive producer of the movie. The film will be directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto, who also worked on Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island as the assistant director, and it will be written by Tsutomu Kuroiwa, who wrote the live action Liar Game: The Final Stage and Liar Game: Reborn films, as well as the live-action Black Butler film. We featured an interview with Hiroaki Miyamoto in February 2014 conducted by the official One Piece website.
