A colorful trailer highlighting the adorable pair and even more new characters was also released along the lines.

Directed by Goro Taniguchi (Code GeassBACK ARROW) and written by Tsutomu Kuroiwa (One Piece Film: Gold) at Toei Animation, One Piece Film: Red is currently scheduled to premiere in Japanese theaters on August 6, 2022.

Crunchyroll, who’ll be releasing the film internationally across the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand sometime this fall, describes the seafaring musical adventure as such:

Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as “otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans—excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks’ daughter.
