One Piece Announces Two New Films: God Valley for 2027, BAAD for 2029

Article

ONE PIECE saved its biggest news for the very last moment of its own biggest annual event — two new films, one of them tackling a mystery fans have waited years to see.

Film One: God Valley (2027)

The first newly announced film covers the God Valley Incident, one of the most significant past events referenced throughout the ONE PIECE story. It's set for release in 2027, which also marks the 30th anniversary of the ONE PIECE anime — and is reported as the franchise's 15th theatrical film overall.

Film Two: BAAD (2029)

The second film, titled BAAD, is set for a 2029 release. Its title visual is reported to have been drawn by ONE PIECE creator Eiichiro Oda himself — a detail that has drawn particular attention from fans, given Oda's typically limited direct involvement in promotional artwork for individual films.

Where This Was Announced

Both films were revealed at the very end of ONE PIECE DAY '26, the franchise's major annual fan event held August 22-23, 2026, at Makuhari Messe — the same event TBM previously covered for its livestream details and World Top 100 character poll results.

What To Know

The God Valley Incident is one of the most-discussed unresolved mysteries in the entire story — a past event long referenced but never shown in full — so a dedicated film finally covering it, timed to the anime's 30th anniversary, is about as significant an announcement as this franchise can make.

Saving a franchise's biggest unresolved backstory event for a milestone-anniversary theatrical film, rather than folding it into the regular weekly anime, is a common way major Japanese manga/anime franchises treat their most anticipated story content as a genuine theatrical event rather than routine episodic content.

What Fans Are Saying

• "God Valley finally getting its own film is huge, been waiting years for this."
• "Oda drawing the BAAD visual himself is such a nice touch."
• "Perfect way to close out ONE PIECE DAY."
