It's a great time to be a One Piece fan. Both the anime and manga are still going strong decades after their debut, and Netflix dropped a live-action remake that broke the curse of bad adaptations. It's only getting better for those who enjoy owning physical media as Prime Day hits because Amazon has a ton of great deals on the series. It's a great way to make sure you have your favorite pirate pals at home with you to enjoy their adventures whenever you want.
Created by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece follows the adventures of Luffy D. Monkey, a young man who wants nothing more than to become King of the Pirates. It's an underdog story about the power of following your dreams and finding your own family along the way. Notably, it's the best-selling manga series of all time with 523.2 million tankōbon copies in circulation worldwide. Of course, there's also the immensely popular anime that's the center of our buying guide! And that's just scratching the surface of One Piece's massive impact.
TL;DR: The Best One Piece Deals for Prime Day
In this guide we're going to be recommending the best deals in regards to the smash hit One Piece anime series which began life in 1998 with the movie One Piece: Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack! After two more movies, the series began in 1999 from Toei Animation. It currently stands at more than 1,000 episodes, making it one of the longest-running TV shows ever, even outside of anime. Whether you're a One Piece diehard or you're just a beginner who wants to dip your toes in, we've got a ton of great deals for you to pick from this Prime Day.
Before we get into which ones you should buy and why, let's talk about the different kinds of One Piece releases that are available. Seasons of One Piece vary widely in length. For example, Season 1 runs for 61 episodes while Season 2 is comprised of 16 episodes. With that in mind, we focused solely on the "Collections," bundles of about 25 episodes each that are much more affordable than the original release format of "Voyages," which often contain fewer episodes at a far higher cost. So not only are you getting great deals thanks to Prime Day, but we're also focused on recommending the most economical way to get your hands on as much One Piece as you need.
One Piece - Collection One
If you're a new skipper on the One Piece ship and just setting sail, it's best to cast off with Collection One, which includes 26 episodes, beginning with the Romantic Dawn Arc and going through to the middle of the Baratie Arc. Though it's been cheaper in the last year, it's still a sterling savings at 40% off and a great way to start your One Piece journey.
One Piece - Collection Two
Another one we're recommending is Collection Two, which includes the end of the Baratie Arc and the Arlong Park Arc, both of which were adapted on the Netflix live action series. If you're a big fan of that charming series but never saw the source material, then pick up Collections One and Two in order to see all the episodes that inspired the live action adaptation.
One Piece: Collection 28 - Blu-ray + DVD
We've avoided some collections that, even with the Prime Day discounts, are currently more expensive than they've been in recent years. We've got some great options, like Collection 28, which offers our biggest savings at 56% off and is even a few cents cheaper than it's been priced in the last year.
One Piece: Heart of Gold [Blu-ray]
If you're looking for something where you don't have to know all the canon going into it and only want to commit a few hours of your time, then try out The Best One-Off Watch, One Piece: Heart of Gold, a 3 and a half hour prequel to One Piece Film: Gold. It currently sits at a commendable 4.8 out of 5 in Amazon's customer reviews, with many viewers finding the special even better than the beloved film. That said, One Piece Film: Gold also sits at 4.8, so if you continue along on your journey on the All Blue, you'll be rewarded.
One Piece - Collection 31
Collection 31, which includes a lot of vital setup for later seasons and impactful events, also beats its year-to-date lowest price, which is a rare feat in 2024 when inflation is even impacting our favorite anime series and their physical media releases!
One Piece: 3D2Y [Blu-ray]
3D2Y is a 15th Anniversary movie-length TV special of One Piece that isn’t technically canon but it’s beloved as one of the better specials just the same. Filling in some story details during a two-year timeline jump in the mainline anime, 3D2Y basically serves as one big training montage for Luffy who’s been emotionally rocked after the death of his big brother and has to go on a mission to rescue some of his friends. Classic stuff at a decent discount.
