And while Strong World isn’t canonical, it did introduce canonical elements into the story. However, mangaka Eiichiro Oda penned the story (not the script) and is producing this film, similar to Strong World. Who knows what other secrets we’ll find out? The major damper on this is that One Piece films tend not to be canonical. We might get more adult Shanks in this film than in the whole show, combined. Hell, the title “Red” itself is a nod to Shanks. So much so, a popular fan theory posits that Shanks is a villain.īy contrast, the film touts Shank’s scar as part of its logo. Yet, despite being such a central figure, present-day Shanks has had maybe … what … less than a minute of screen time across over 1000 episodes? He starred heavily in the opening episodes of the show, and he’s appeared as a child in flashbacks, but Shanks is still very much a mysterious figure in the present day.
Shanks is a huge deal in the show: he’s the reason Luffy was inspired to become a pirate, and he gave Luffy his signature straw hat. The fact that One Piece Film Red has advertised itself as Shanks-centric is a big frickin deal.
We never freaking knew Shanks has a daughter! WHAT?! She might be his biological daughter, too-she’s got the red hair, after all! She’s rocking the Shodo Todoroki look! Who the hell’s the mom?! In any case, in the words of my favorite reporter, Big News Morgans: this is Big News! (I always hear it in Japanese, though: Kore ga Biggu Nyuuzu!)
