Japanese fashion giant Uniqlo has dropped another of its popular UT collections, this time returning to the Grand Line with a range of One Piece T-shirts. However, fans who are only following the Netflix live-action series or are behind on the anime should proceed with caution. The new designs are pulled directly from the “Egghead Arc,” featuring characters and clashes that have yet to appear for many viewers.
The collection from the high-street retailer focuses on the latest adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates. The story arc takes place on Future Island, the high-tech laboratory of the enigmatic Dr. Vegapunk, where Monkey D. Luffy arrives fresh from being declared one of the Four Emperors of the Sea. Eiichiro Oda’s long-running manga is deep into this saga, and the anime is not far behind, providing Uniqlo with plenty of fresh material.
There are four distinct T-shirts in the range, each spotlighting a key moment or character group from the arc.
A cream-coloured tee features manga panels in full colour, depicting a poignant scene between Jewelry Bonney and her father, Bartholomew Kuma, whose tragic backstory is a central plot point of the arc. The front of the shirt is subtly embroidered with the phrase “On Your Side” and a paw print, a direct reference to Kuma’s Devil Fruit powers.
A bold blue shirt captures the dramatic rematch between two fan-favourite swordsmen. It showcases Roronoa Zoro in a fierce battle against the CP0 agent Rob Lucci, a confrontation that many have been eager to see since their first encounter in Enies Lobby.
For those interested in the new threats, a black T-shirt is dedicated to the Seraphim. The back of the shirt features stylised imprints of the four known Seraphim units, the powerful new Pacifista clones. The front is marked with a simple, flame-accented letter “S”.
Finally, a white shirt makes a powerful statement by displaying the new lineup of the Four Emperors across the front. Following the events of the Wano arc, this design is a striking representation of the new balance of power in the world of One Piece, with Luffy taking his place among the world’s most formidable pirates.
Here in the UK, the T-shirts are priced at £19.90. They are listed as unisex designs available in sizes from XS to 3XL. As is typical for Uniqlo’s UT range, they are made from 100% cotton and are machine washable, though dry cleaning is not recommended. This collection follows a pattern of successful anime collaborations from Uniqlo, with Geek Native previously covering ranges for properties like Final Fantasy and Dragon Ball.
