All One Piece Movies in Order with Episodes

There are a total of 15 One Piece movies and over 1000 episodes of the anime series. Most of these movies are standalone and have original plots that differ from the anime.

One Piece is one of the most popular manga that has recorded massive success in the last decades. The Japanese manga series, written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, tells the story of a boy called Monkey D Luffy, whose body became rubbery after eating the Devil Fruit. On the quest to become the next Pirate King, Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, hunt for ‘One Piece’, which is the greatest treasure in the world.

One Piece has Been Adapted into Movies and Series

The adventures started in 1997 as the series was aired in manga format. Just two years later, One Piece made the big leap to the screens. It now has more than 1000 chapters which have already been broadcast with 15 complementary movies, alongside 13 special episodes and short films.

It would take so much time to consume 1000 episodes of any TV show, talk less of one that is intertwined between movies, episodes, specials, shorts, and so on. It might seem a daunting task to undertake, but we break down how best to go about it; which episodes or movies to watch, and how to do so to enable better understanding.

Like most anime series, One Piece movies have an expanding storyline, with each episode unfolding plots and giving room for new adventures in subsequent episodes. To understand the storyline without missing any plot arc of the story, it is important to watch the movies in chronological order. This will enable you to fully understand all that is going on, as it can appear to be quite confusing at times.
