Q: So, what’s next on the horizon? Do the three of you have any goals for the future?

Ishitani: I typically focus solely on the task at hand, viewing it as my final project. However, should another project come along, I have an interest in feature films. For quite some time now, I’ve been eager to participate in a theatrical production, but I haven’t yet had the chance. Ideally, I would like to try my hand at creating a full-length film at least once.

I too am eager to delve into creating a full-length feature film, and I aspire to keep honing my skills as a keyframe artist.

What this Means for the Future of One Piece Movies

At the moment, neither of them have any confirmed movie projects related to One Piece. However, considering the significant gap since the successful release of Film Red, it’s likely that a new project will be announced soon.

Nevertheless, if they were to collaborate on this film, fans of One Piece would undoubtedly look forward to it given their track record of delivering high-quality work.
