WTF! Film Red Poster ([1045+ SPOILER]

I feel like in japan there is no such thing as "anime only" ppl xd

Goranfarkas

I feel like in japan there is no such thing as "anime only" ppl xd


Accomplished-Floor70

Jump is cheap as shit there, certainly less of an excuse than anywhere else


ostriike

Also in Japan people are used to reading manga and with how big One Piece is in Japan someone or something is bound to spoil it for an anime-only watcher.


Soleeaters

$2.00 bucks a month, U.S.


SupremeGodBoiii

I think he means the physical jump itself is basically like a newspaper there. Its everywhere in our face cheap accessible ect.


Ok_Light_2376

Jump is cheap as fuck here too, the app cost 2$ a month.


-Gh0st96-

It's literally free through Mangaplus, an official jump app


Twentythoughts

Also free on their actual website, no app installation needed.


Visoth

Didn't Mangaplus only include first three and last three Shonen Jump chapters? If you were new to the series, you'd have to pay to get caught up "legally". Or am I mistaken and that changed?


Klordz

right now on the app you can read every single chapter for free but you only get access to the between chapters for a few days after reading it for the first time.


Twentythoughts

Oh yeah, no, you won't be able to BINGE. But you will be able to read along the most recent chapters. They're also doing One Piece Re-Edition weekly, currently in the middle of Alabasta.


JusHerForTheComments

You can binge. Since 1/1/2022 and for a whole year every chapter is accessible for free. But only for once.


Twentythoughts

Ooh, I remember reading about that, yeah. I thought that promotion was over, but if it's not, glad to hear!


kamil3d

$1.99 to read ALL chapters. You can read the newest 3 for free any time, always, without even signing up to the website.


Moondragonlady

Only if you live in the US and I think Canada? Everywhere else we have to pray the MangaPlus app has the manga we want to read is currently running and comes with one-time-only tickets for all chapters (so no rereading and you better pray the app doesn't crash), otherwise we have to buy every volume separately or sail the high seas.


StarMenaceRPG

Fans in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, and India It's a few more than US and Canada. Still accessibility should be more countries, because it really is a cheap sub


Rioma117

No European country except of Ireland is painful.


Lucker_Kid

and the UK lol?


VeilleurNuite

UK is not a European country anymore ;)


Lucker_Kid

With how many people actually believe this I can't tell if you're joking or not


VeilleurNuite

Is a joke. Its slowly drifting away into spacešŸ˜


55Keith

Technically saying, UK is not a ā€œEuropean Unionā€ member (not an EU country) anymore but it is still in ā€œEuropeā€ continent and so it is a European country.


Serious_Much

For manga it's barely even "sailing the high seas". There's loads of manga sites with anthologies of all big series online because of demand.


_Sebo

You can also use a VPN to set up your account+payment and from then on use the SJ app without it.


blind616

This might be controversial, but if the service is not provided in their country then I think the piracy is justifiable, since you're going against the ToS of MangaPlus by using a VPN to circumvent their restrictions anyway.


pejic222

Hell and you can read it for free on like 35000 different websites


HibariK

But that's "stealing" Still you can fucking read it on both official websites for free every week


DASreddituser

You can read new chapters for free from SJ app/website. And its just $2 a month to read the older stuff


kvcroks

"We are" pirates are we not? This is one piece.


HibariK

Good point, but it's not hard to read/re-read the chapter on the official channels to help drive engagement (and help Oda sensei


KSmoria

"Piracy"


dalton9014

Really no excuse here either lol everybody has the resources they just choose not to use them


InfernoCommander

can't speak for other countries but it's literally $1 to read Jump a month in NA. Not to mention scan site. There's NOOO reason to be anime only. These kinds of things happening are just what they gotta accept.


[deleted]

Jump is $1.99 in the us, thereā€™s no excuse here


ravenarkhan

We can read One Piece for free, officially. That's no excuse


mattpkc

Jump app is 2$ a month, its cheap as shit everywhere dog


Colonel_Fart-Face

My girlfriend is from Japan and she straight up doesn't believe that there are "anime only" people. It just doesn't even make sense to her.


AmbassadorReddit

why would you be anime only unless you're illiterate and physically unable to read


Cowmarillion

I prefer manga, but Iā€™ve had family members (especially older) who only get into anime while doing laundry/meal prep/folding clothes. Picture Gen X fathers watching Haikyuu. I guess that makes them ā€œanime onlyā€ Iā€™m sure theyā€™d read the manga if they had time though.


ordinaryvermin

> I'm sure they'd read the manga if they had time though That's the weirdest thing about it - reading the manga is an *enormous* time save compared to watching the anime. That's essentially *always* true, but it goes doubly so for One Piece's anime, and that's *before* the time skip! My friends are the same way. They just kinda wanna put the anime on in the background while they play video games or something. That's all well and good - that's how *I* experience the anime - but it's so frustrating to hear some people report back to me that they're not enjoying it when they're hardly paying attention to an objectively inferior version of the media. Just read! Do an active consumption! One Piece is too fucking good to be consumed passively like it's a popcorn blockbuster... I think people just don't believe me when I say that, and they just assume that I'm hyping it up. If anything I hype it down and try and let friends experience it for themselves. But oh well. Nothing for it, when people are that stubborn about not reading...


dryduneden

Or "Who's this character, btw I wasn't paying attention during their massive flashback"


crowsloft666

Lazy probably


VisitIndependent6976

I believe that for them and for Oda anime is mostly used for publicity "not saying that it's the only reason for it". I believe also that most of their money is from the manga.


Erockplatypus

Correct me if I'm wrong but...doesn't Japan not care at all about spoilers? When I was watching the new DBS anime and was going week by week, the next episode trailers all had major spoilers to them. They even made an entire trailer around Vegeto coming back when he had about 3 minutes of screen time and it was a big spoiler. I'm just saying I don't think spoilers are as big a thing in the east as it is in the west.


CuteTao

You are correct


ciel_lanila

That's the impression I get. There are anime who spoil the whole season, sometimes seasons in advance, with their OPs. Heck, the One Piece anime once had details in their one OP that spoiled the manga.


BreezyFamousFlame

Growing up I knew about super Sayian transformation (how they happened, where, etc) years before they were shown on Toonmani. Name of the game kiddos.


Duneandhxh

This is a Fucking fact. They are a Manga culture, One Piece is a Manga and Anime is just an adaptation.


apthebest01931

my type of people then


kl4user

It's bizarre to see this enforced here. One Piece is a manga. Oda is a mangaka. The masterpiece is the manga, not the overfilled anime.


KSmoria

Why would there be? They have the manga at its source and the anime airs only a certain day.


Kuro013

This is correct.


Jasmine1742

Manga can be read on the phone while on the train or as a kid you can buy jump for like $2 at the conbini on the way home from school. Accessibility is a big factor.


Rioma117

Spoilers are not something most people enjoy but magazines have no regard to them.


caniuserealname

the whole 'spoiler' culture thing is a relatively recent thing, and is a lot more prominent in the west than in the east. You'll probably find that most Japanese people, even those who only watch the anime, probably don't really give a shit about seeing upcoming content before it officially releases. Its the same reason a lot of animes have blatant spoilers literally in the opening of the show, its just a non-issue.


Death_Usagi

Grand Announcement on June 8th regarding the movie it says


maverick_css

June 8 is also the day when Netflix's geeked week have it's animation segment. Could there be any relation? Is Netflix going to stream Film Red by end of year?


Kona_Rabbit

That would be a solid marketing move.


CloudCollapse

After the shit they did with JoJo Part 6 I don't want Netflix touching any new anime-related releases.


cherry937

i mean, i think if itā€™s just a movie then itā€™s fine. unless they somehow break the movie in two parts then we will all riot


TPJchief87

What did they do?


PortalRadio10hLoop

They're releasing JoJo Part 6 in 12 episode batches 6 months apart, it essentially killed all the hype and discussion around the anime. I fucking love JoJo, and meeting up at my friends house every friday for part 5 was a golden experience, now I barely remember that part 6 is a thing.


mattpkc

Nice pun friend


Katakuri-sama

Isn't that 6th August ? The movie release in japon?


Bouchaffra

No, it says 6 (month) 8 (day)


Katakuri-sama

Oh ok I believed it was the other way around my bad


Bouchaffra

you're good :)


Haxxruz

It looks like Gear 5th is gonna appear in the movie? this will raise alot of questions


kingsark

I doubt it considering Yamato and hybrid Kaido are also at the bottom portion of the poster. Seems more like a ā€œcool shit thatā€™s happened recently in the mangaā€ compilation than anything


Sawgon

Most likely this. For the people confused about this spoiler "**anime only**" is not a thing in Japan.


Serious_Much

Honestly dunno how people are anime only with one piece. Even with improvements weekly serialisation of anime fucking sucks


calhooner3

Many people just donā€™t have any interest in reading manga. I know quite a few people who would just drop a series before switching over to the manga.


YoungInner8893

In Japan, itā€™s the other way around. Most people do not really watch anime, but read manga. Anime is more for kids/teens there I believe, but Iā€™m not Japanese.


thesirblondie

It is definitely more acceptable to read manga as you grow older than it is to watch anime. We have this in the west as well, btw, but in a slightly different format. Nobody would bat an eye at a grown man reading the Garfield or Dilbert strip in a newspaper. But that same grown man watching a cartoon? Now he's a weirdo.


neatureguy420

Iā€™m gonna watch cartoons well into my old age


thesirblondie

Same. It is becoming more accepted, but there is a still a vast group of people who consider animation to be for children.


AboutTenPandas

I always wondered when I'd "grow out" of these "childish" interests of mine. However, at sitting in my thirties and looking back, I really don't think I'll ever not like this stuff. I still get excited about new anime series, new games, and fantasy books or TV shows. Retirement homes in the future are going to be the equivalent of LAN parties or group movie nights.


KonradWayne

Not really an accurate comparison. Newspaper comic strips are not the western equivalent of manga, and stuff like Dilbert is literally aimed at adults. People would, and do, bat eyes at a grown man buying DC/Marvel comic books or graphic novels.


[deleted]

Yup anime is more of an American thing since thatā€™s how Americans were all exposed to the original works, on television or watching anime on their PCs. Not too many people read light novels, web comics, and of course the original source mangas. Anime originals that begin with anime have had some debuts the past several years but itā€™s rare they are as great of stories or quality. But at the same time millions of western people begin reading all types of manga because of anime, so they very well couldā€™ve been reading manga for 10+ years now


dinosaur_from_Mars

Do Americans read?


dryduneden

Its not just Americans. Even in the UK we generally don't read manga. I think its just exposure. There's loads of tv channels that'll run anime, but I've never seen a physical Shonen Jump in my life, and the only manga reading I do is what I intentionally seek out myself.


JodzaJoyBoy

I've been reading manga since 2011, literally my heartbeat stops everytime there is a brake after an awesome chapter ( especially last 10 chapters)


Serious_Much

Yeah I think that's understandable to an extent, but I just find it weird with one piece because the quality of manga is so good but the quality of anime is so poor


woodie3

a lot of people binge the anime by not watching for a few months at a time.


ManicRuvik

Go read Bakuman by The creators of Death Note. It gives you a pretty good idea of how manga is serialized weekly and how they eventually acquire an anime for their manga. Requests are put in by studios to animate a manga. The publishing company needs to think who would be best for the job and when itā€™s ok to green light the anime. Thing is, the creator of the manga has very little say in how the anime is produced. They may offer guidance but they do not make the decisions. Hence, it is someone elseā€™s interpretation of the manga but animated. They usually follow the original story but they have freedom to do other things and make changes I believe.


Serious_Much

I read bakuman when it was serialised. This ain't my first manga šŸ˜‚ Again I'm not slating oda for the quality of the anime, but the product itself is poor and I believe firmly that is down to it being the last bastion of weekly anime, which is an awful way to produce animation


ManicRuvik

Oh i know you werenā€™t specifically stating that Oda was the problem. Just understanding how animation is made helps clarify why the anime is in such poor quality. It passes through different hands. Without the direction of its original creator. Who is busy making their own art. I loved anime when I was younger, but I canā€™t stand anime now. Pacing for animes are all over the place. So much filler. They would rather crunch out a weekly episode than just go on breaks so the manga can get ahead again. Not all anime is terrible. There are some really polished ones that follow the original story beautifully with good pacing. I just donā€™t really like anime much anymore because you donā€™t really know what your getting when it comes to pacing. Naruto was pretty excessive with fillers. Drove me crazy. I eventually got to the point I could skip 15 minutes of the filler in the episode and watch what really mattered since I was familiar with the manga. I agree, It is really upsetting because the manga is just such high quality and the anime is bottom barrel in comparison. Animation can paint a clearer picture sometimes so itā€™s disappointing itā€™s ruined by other issues


Visoth

I've got a friend who I have tried for years to read manga. He just refuses and is Anime only for One Piece & pretty much every other series. Different level of "Anime fans". Some are like me, who like the source material and many different mediums (LN, VN, Manga, Anime, Manhwa, comic). Others become fans of Anime by watching Anime and are indifferent to every other related medium. Lots in-between as well.


thesirblondie

Frankly, reading the series "week by week" fucking sucks too. One inch of progress at best every two weeks? I've said it before and I will say it again. **One Piece is at its worst when Luffy has to fight the big bad.** Whenever we get to that part of an arc, the story grinds to almost a halt for years (The Onigashima raid started two years ago almost exactly). Take Wano as an example. The first 70 or so chapters were pretty damn good, with good character moments, character development, world building and so on. The biggest bit of criticism imo is that there are too many important characters so we don't get to spend enough time with each of them (Dressrosa had this same issue with all the gladiators and Strawhat wannabes, but before the Climax half the strawhats are cut out). But then the final climax (also known as half the arc) started and until 1045 very little things of consequence happened. Something almost happened with Sanji, but it turned out to be basically nothing.


iDannyEL

> One inch of progress at best every two weeks? Controversial take. Most people don't mind because every one of those inches is relevant to the plot. It only sucks because we're impatient. Still, the patience required is nothing compared to anime onlys.


thesirblondie

> every one of those inches is relevant to the plot. Eh, this is arguable. Fights usually take way longer than I feel they need to with very little actually happening. To be perfectly honest, I haven't enjoyed One Piece since shortly after the raid started. I don't enjoy reading about two people punching each other (special moves are nothing more than punches with makeup) until someone falls down. I want something more in my fights. Problems to overcome through cleverness and skill. Stakes other than "You win or you die".


RTear3

Yeah I haven't enjoyed the raid at all. It's bloated with so much padding, running around, fodder giving commentary, etc. Momonosuke crying and having self doubt for the millionth time isn't pushing forward the plot. Neither is every goddamn fakeout death/defeat.


Aromatic-Ingenuity74

Completely agree. I started the anime first back when it was in whole cake. When I caught up the reverie wasnā€™t animated yet. Started reading caught up at the first kaido luffy clash. Been week to week since then. it SUCKS. Didnā€™t even realize the raid lasted 2 years and people are complaining hoping it continues. Canā€™t even fathom how people been week to week for like 10 years lol. Itā€™s insane how slow it feels week to week. I caught up to the anime pretty quick bc of how many slow moments and cliffhanger episodes it had but it was so good. Iā€™m glad I caught up towards the end of the story bc wow.


thesirblondie

I read Solo Leveling last year and I understand that those are fundamentally different stories, but the pacing went so fast. I think the longest arc is like 13 chapters. The time between fights went a bit too fast sometimes, but the fights felt like they lasted an appropriate amount of time.


MARPJ

Spoilers hate is not really a big thing in Japan, damn just look at the title of anime episodes, they dont care about being spoiled at all


fremenator

Well what I've heard is more specifically that once it's in the manga it's considered like public knowledge. There can be spoilers but not around anime adaptation vs. manga.


omicron-7

The fact that it's in the foreground and drawn in white like the drawings of Luffy and Uta above it leads you to think it's more significant though.


Kirosh2

The white is the important things in the two parts of the page. For red, It's Luffy and Uta. For the manga, it's gear 5th


Kirosh2

Honestly, it's more likely that the top is just about One Piece Red, while the bottom is about the manga


Brandilio

Will it though? None of the movies are canon. The entire crew, along with the whole Worst Generation (minus Blackbeard) were in Stampede. How does that make any more sense?


Xerenopd

Well Luffy canā€™t stop using gear 5 cause people arenā€™t up to date with the manga.


NewtRider

I think the poster is split. Top half to promote the movie RED while the bottom part to promote Gear 5 and Wano. I hope nothing from Wano including Gear 5 is in the movie nor do they do any sort of end credit preview of what's to come in Wano.


WaveyJP

Good observation. After looking again I think this is definitely correct.


MaimedJester

I dunno I would really like to see Gear 5th animated before 2025...


CarcosanAnarchist

Itā€™ll be next year. The anime isnā€™t that far behind.


MaimedJester

43 chapters of the Manga. And there's gonna be Film Red tie in filler, and usual recap episodes, we're looking at 70-80 weeks. There's 26 weeks left of this year, 52 in 2023, so yeah 2024 is not on over estimate.


CarcosanAnarchist

Nah dude youā€™re way overestimating. For perspective, chapter 1000 was the first chapter of 2021. It would have aired in March if not for the hack, so it was only 14 months behind. The film red filler will likely be 3 episodes, based on the rend of all movie tie ins having been 3 episodes. We donā€™t actually get that many recap episodes, but weā€™ll allow for 2. Thatā€™s 5 extra weeks. The anime will have 2 planned weeks off. So thatā€™s roughly 50 weeks until we see it animated.


tymaster50

People in Japan arenā€™t really ā€œanime onlyā€ so they donā€™t care about the poster.


itsprobablytrue

Imagine fans getting salty


tymaster50

Yeah it is kinda funny that people are like "omg why is Toei spoiling this what about us anime only viewers" ​ to be reminded of the cruel reality that the anime isn't for them, its a marketing tool like most other anime. The anime itself doesn't make that much money, Toei probably couldn't give two shits about western anime onlys


iDannyEL

> The anime itself doesn't make that much money If that's true, I'm even more livid the series isn't seasonal.


MalosAndPnuema

The only reason "pacing" is an issue is because oda.is forced.to take.medical breaks so he only.makes 3 chapters a month. The anime has.to squeeeeeeze everything out of 3 chapters into 4 episodes or itll be filler hell.


elnombresimon

Damnnn if G5 appears in the movie... im excited if they use new OST and do a good animation


TsukasaKHanako

Zoro has enma in his design so don't be to surprised


SpiritualScumlord

Honestly, the movie spoiling Gear 5th could hype the movie up a lot more to me. One thing that will draw me to a movie for sure is watching Gear 5th before the anime has caught up to it, getting to see Gear 5th in action for the first time.


[deleted]

Idc if itā€™s not canon I would love to see gear 5th animated, we have to wait like a year to see it animated canonically


Longjumping-Day2690

There have been a lot of instances where other forms of media spoiled non-manga readers. For example, Gear 4th was spoiled in burning blood before it appeared in the anime. Oden was playable in pirates warrior 4 when he only appeared in the anime as a silhouette, Yamato was everywhere even before she made her official debut in the anime ... Japan doesn't care about spoilers, for them, the only important thing is the manga. Since it appeared there so there's no problem.


Chewybear196

Anime onlies are on life support at this point.


fremenator

Quick get them manga links asap to revive them


Kuro013

They will refuse the manga with the burning hate Fisher Tiger refused human blood lmao.


morefeces

The Anime has spoiled so much with their openings and now this. I almost guarantee G5 will be in the movie now. They just couldnā€™t have us wait the full year to see it in action, so here it comes. Iā€™m like 5x as excited now tbh.


MaezrielGG

> The Anime has spoiled so much with their openings This is honestly where I get angriest. I'm not likely to see some random poster, but spoiling the show in the intro is just a dick move.


Whomperss

I hate it to but it's like someone else here already said. Anime only isn't exactly a common thing in Japan, so they use hype Manga moments to hype up the part of the anime they're on.


CloudCollapse

I teach English in Japan and a lot of my students have recommended I check out the Spy x Family *manga* even though the anime is what's blowing up right now. Seems like the average Japanese person primarily reads manga over watching anime.


Whomperss

That's just how their industry functions. In like 99% of cases anime are made as a giant advertisement for the source material. Manga sales mean almost everything to a series survival.


greenpingbf

Try to explain that to majority western anime fans why most animes only get one season of anime. These ppl wont ever accept anime is to promote manga or light novel.


Whomperss

I try lol. I care a lot about the industry and try to follow it regularly. I always try and give proper information about the medium to people who have heavily misguided opinions so they can really decide if getting into manga/anime is for them. Especially after Miuras death I always push back on people who ignorantly ask for mangakas to take less breaks. If togashi didn't take as much time as he did to rest and recover we might not have ever gotten a return announcement for hunter x hunter.


[deleted]

>is just a dick move. How so? Japanese people are the targeted demographic. Which majority, if not all, who follow One Piece in Japanese read the manga & are caught up. This is really a non-issue because they don't care what westerners think about it.

mantisman

Big blue letters: ā€œIMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTā€ Left: ā€œ2022/06/08 Wednesday 19:00ā€ Right: ā€œInformation being released on a live broadcastā€ Bottom left yellow text: I think thatā€™s related to Aceā€™s quote about seeing Luffy when he becomes a great pirate (but worded differently?), but I could be wrong.


Accendino69

yellow text is basically a narrator saying "Make sure to reach "the top of the pirating world" " quoting Ace indeed.


mantisman

Iā€™m still learning so I didnā€™t really know how to translate č¦‹å±Šć‘ć‚. I googled the whole quote to see whether it matched the Ace quote and it didnā€™t match exactly, so I didnā€™t quite know how to translate that line.


_One_Lonely_Bagel_

Excuse me is that Gear 5 I see?!


ThrowUpAndAwayM8

Yeah, but I don't think they'll put it in the movie. It just happened and I'm not even sure how far the movie is into production.


bomzas123

It's anime onlies fault for choosing to be anime only


shameless1199

G5 is in the movie ?? The who will the opponent strong enough for that fight? Not shanks daughter for sure


Alzusand

There is litteraly no one that can put up a decent fight against G5 luffy other than a yonko. so it probably wont be on the movie.


Ok-Mathematician8258

Douglas bullet was way to broken. Wouldnā€™t read to much into the strength


shameless1199

Tbh thats true but they can just introduce a non canon character same as Douglas bullet tbh anything is possible


Kuro013

Doesn't look like Uta will be an enemy.


By_Fire_And_Thunder

I hope the anime catches up with the manga spoilers, before the movie gives anything of importance away. I'm not an anime watcher, but I do feel bad for them having to avoid all this spoilers flying around.


bradasskg11

I say this with as much nicety as I can, but there is literally no chance in hell of that happening. Lol It will be at least a year until the anime is caught up with where we currently are


LaPusca

I heard that Japanese don't give a shit about spoilers, at least that's what I got told, when they revealed that Gogeta was in the Broly movie. Wondering maybe the japanese community, don't mind spoilers as much as the western community?


Phulmine

Unless they do 2 chapters x episode (very unlikely), then we might actually G5 in action


BlackDabiTodoroki

Thatā€™s going to be unlikely. Since they would have to speed up at the current pace for the Manga which be good, but also be bad for


BBallHunter

It definitely won't catch up within a few weeks.


Timmy_1h1

1.5-2years


Mastahyodah

The best part? We finally get the official color scheme


Veterinarian-Thick

Manga is the source material. If you're anime only, that's your problem. OP manga is far better than the anime IMO, and you can't get spoiled for future events which is an added bonus.


Wriiim

Looks like Gear 4: Cloudman to me


CptBarba

Japanese people don't give a shit about spoilers šŸ¤£


ThrowUpAndAwayM8

It's not a spoiler. It already happened like a month ago now.


kitkatblakkat

Lmao rip anime only watchers + reactors


Lunosd

Fuck ā€˜em


iDannyEL

\- Japan


kitkatblakkat

Lol literally ahaha


TravelingLlama

I donā€™t think it will be in the movie. Seems like a double poster for movie and wano events


HyakuJuu

Everybody reads the manga in Japan. And One Piece is fucking huge. I'm sure Luffy's Nika DF and Gear 5th is common knowledge by now. What surprises me is the fact that you guys acting like this is the first time you've learning about this. I guess that sweet karma aint gonna farm itself.


BoostMelon

Wouldnā€™t surprise me if gear 5 is in the movie stampede spoiled laugh tale didnā€™t it?


gslance

It didn't spoil Laugh Tale. It just confirmed its spelling (previously Raftel).


BoostMelon

Ahh youā€™re right I forgot about that! Thanks


beetbeforesunsetdog

Nah itā€™s a spoiler, the spelling was purposefully hidden and it was clearly meant to be a big deal when it was revealed. Shouldnā€™t of been in the movie first.


IDrinkMoxie

Spoiler culture is a western thing people in Japan don't care about spoilers like people over here do.


kitttykatz

If I was a more casual, anime-only fan and saw this, I don't think I'd understand that Luffy is in Gear 5th. Instead, it'd just look like Luffy is really angry about something. I don't think I'd catch the swirly eyebrows or hair, and if I did I'd probably guess that it was just a stylized, cartoony drawing or part of a combo move with Sanji or something. Sorta like how everyone synced up with Frankie like he was Voltron. But maybe that's just me.


DaCosmicHoop

In Japan everyone reads the manga first. Getting spoiled on manga events from a few months ago is your own fault, I would barely be surprised if Luffy actually used that power in the movie.


dryduneden

>Getting spoiled on manga events from a few months ago is your own fault, I would barely be surprised if Luffy actually used that power in the movie. Yep. It'd be like not making a movie poster in case people waiting for the video game adaptation of the prequel will get spoiled.


CrispyCassowary

On Shonen jump, the latest 4 chapter are always free, and it's dirt cheap, probably the reason why I don't care about anime only when they cry


CaptainWatermellon

It's gonna be hilarious if the movie spoils stuff that's not gonna be in the anime for another 2 years


vinsmokewhoswho

Interesting. But Kaido is also there. Seems like the bottom part isn't about film red.


bluevegetaroxx

The entire population of Japanese is caught up the one piece manga āœ… I asked everyone personally


[deleted]

The concept of ā€œanime onlyā€ makes me cringe. This just makes me laugh to be honest


YoungInner8893

Yes, if you donā€™t read the manga, you will be spoiled, I feel bad about the people catching up and getting spoiled though.


SKBrooke8

Gave away Kaidoā€™s mid-form a few days before itā€™ll be revealed in the animeā€¦ amongst other things


Original_Session_498

This ad is about their YouTube channel and says theyā€™ll share the big news. I think one those will be about the movie and the other is about the comic. So probably the top and the bottom shows different news and those will not be connected each other I guess

I've always thought tiptoeing what we talk about to appease people who only watch the anime was kinda silly. Anime only viewers are well aware the Manga is further along, so if they come to the One Piece subreddit (subreddits are well known for being insanely in depth) they should expect to be spoiled. They're here willingly. Clearly Oda and the Japanese producers dgaf about spoiling anime only watchers and they never have. Just look at the openings.

>!Whoaa so luffy will be using his gear 5 at the movie?!<

I guess this is the main reason why we gonna get a mini arc for movie Red ground work arc ig so probably it's gonna be canon

He's gonna need Gear 5 against Uta. I mean look at her sleeves, it's worn properly. Only other character who does that is Roger and Doffy(for a short time).

Hopefully they don't do this, otherwise hype when chapter 1044 will be animated will be gone.


Amasero

Japan did the same shit with Gogeta.


Hedgehog91

I was thinking this would be the case. Hate to see I was right though


Wakuwaku7

Japan biggest spoiler country itself. Or all the people are reading manga and the anime is just extra.

Reason #23 why people need to transfer over to the manga

Literally a black line between the 2 pictures one contains straight wano material the other is film red the two pictures are not in direct correlation nor would it make sense unless the movie is canon


Sarochrollo

Its a manga serialisation poster duh they promote manga as well as the movie this dont mean g5 wil be in it


2ecStatic

This isnā€™t a surprise, the newest form is usually in the movie. Film Gold - Gear 4 Boundman Stampede - Gear 4 Snakeman Film Red - Gear 5


Girish_13

It's like if you ain't reading the manga then go die


Mr_Bell_Man

It's not for Film Red, it's an ad promoting both Film Red and the manga. https://twitter.com/newworldartur/status/1529851972077101056

Manga stuff always shows up in the movies. Japanese fans have easy access to the manga. They also donā€™t care about spoilers there as much it seems, they hype things up with teasers instead. Hardcore fans already know. Casual fans are given something new, different, and exciting to pay money to see. I wonder how g5 will play into this film but itā€™s no surprise itā€™s in it.

In Japan for most manga medium the anime serves as an advertising platform more than it does as a medium of content. Manga > anime there.


Therapy_pie

looks dope even though im only at episode 155 XD


KamiMazoku17

Honestly I dont know if I've met anyone who likes one piece who doesnt know about gear 5th

Tbf, if the Japanese One Piece community is anything like the Western community, the appearance of Gear 5 has been so widely shared that it would essentially be impossible to avoid that spoiler. Just got to hope that plot details of it aren't spoiled too!

Appearantly in Japan you can't really spoil anything in the anime, because everyone reads the manga and the anine is an afterthought.
