One Piece Movies In Order Of Episodes

Okay, let's talk about One Piece movies. We all love the Straw Hats. But figuring out where the movies fit can be a real headache.

I'm going to give you the *totally official* viewing order. Get ready for some controversial opinions! Buckle up, pirates!

The Early Days: When Things Were...Different

First up, we have the early movies. Think simpler animation and goofy plots. They're fun, but definitely not canon!

Movie 1: One Piece: The Movie (Episode 8)

This one comes after episode 8. Luffy fights a pirate with stretchy powers too! It's a weird parallel universe thing.

Movie 2: Clockwork Island Adventure (Episode 67)

Next, watch it after episode 67. The Straw Hats have to save Nami from a bunch of thieves. It's a classic "rescue the princess" plot.

Movie 3: Chopper's Kingdom on Strange Animal Island (Episode 130)

After episode 130, it's time for this one. Chopper gets mistaken for a king! Hilarity ensues, naturally.

Movie 4: Dead End Adventure (Episode 175)

Watch after episode 175. They enter a secret pirate race. Expect betrayal and explosive action!

The Middle Era: Getting Serious (Kind Of)

These movies are getting better. Plots are more engaging. Animation is improving!

Movie 5: The Cursed Holy Sword (Episode 228)

This one goes after episode 228. Zoro gets possessed by a cursed sword. It's a Zoro-centric adventure!

Movie 6: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island (Episode 278)

After episode 278, watch this one. It's creepy and unsettling. Prepare to be surprised!

Movie 7: Giant Mecha Soldier of Karakuri Castle (Episode 325)

This one comes after episode 325. The Straw Hats find a giant robot. It's pure, unadulterated fun.

The New World: Canon-Adjacent Goodness

These movies are practically canon! They fit seamlessly into the storyline. Get ready for some serious hype!

Movie 8: Episode of Alabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates (Episode 381)

Watch it after episode 381. It's a recap of the Alabasta arc. But it's a beautifully animated recap.

Movie 9: Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Cherry Blossom (Episode 381)

This one goes after episode 381 too. It's a retelling of Chopper's backstory. But with Franky and Robin included!

Movie 10: Strong World (Episode 489)

Watch after episode 489. Strong World is a masterpiece. It has an actual One Piece creator involvement!

Movie 11: One Piece Film: Z (Episode 578)

After episode 578, watch Film: Z. This movie is dark and emotional. A former admiral is the main villain.

Movie 12: One Piece Film: Gold (Episode 746)

Watch after episode 746. Film: Gold is flashy and extravagant. The Straw Hats take on a casino owner.

Movie 13: One Piece Film: Stampede (Episode 896)

After episode 896, watch Film: Stampede. This is an anniversary movie. It's a massive pirate festival.

Movie 14: One Piece Film: Red (Episode 1028)

Finally, watch after episode 1028. Film: Red is all about Uta and Shanks. Get ready for music and feels!

Unpopular Opinion Time!

Here's where things get spicy. Ready? Strong World is overrated! Don't @ me.

Yes, it's good. But the hype is unreal. I actually prefer Film: Z for its darker tone.

And one more thing. The early movies are underrated! They are pure, silly fun. Don't skip them entirely.

So there you have it. My totally official (and slightly controversial) One Piece movie viewing order. Happy watching, nakama!
