Netflix Is Now Streaming Anime’s Biggest Crossover Ever

Netflix Is Now Streaming Anime’s Biggest Crossover Ever

As a die-hard anime fan with years of dedication under my belt, I can confidently say that Netflix’s latest acquisition is nothing short of a dream come true! The crossover between One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Toriko is not just a rare treat for us fans, but a testament to the power of collaboration in the anime world.


Netflix has obtained exclusive rights for an extraordinary anime collaboration: a special episode featuring characters from “One Piece,” “Dragon Ball,” and “Toriko.” Anime crossovers are quite significant as they don’t often occur in full animation, especially with Shueisha’s diverse projects. However, when they do, it results in an engaging viewing experience that fans on Netflix can now enjoy repeatedly or discover for the first time at their convenience.

Netflix has been providing numerous episodes of “One Piece” through their streaming platform, including the most recent Egghead Arc. However, what’s especially exciting is that they’ve acquired the rights to a significant episode from the anime series – the legendary Episode 590, which is a crossover adventure involving characters from “One Piece”, “Dragon Ball” by Akira Toriyama, and “Toriko” by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro. This is one of the biggest episodes of “One Piece” that has been difficult for fans to watch due to licensing issues, but now it’s available on Netflix with English, Spanish, and Portuguese dubs for the first time.

Finally, the moment we’ve all been eagerly anticipating has arrived! As a hardcore gamer and anime enthusiast, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the epic team-up of Luffy, Goku, and Toriko that’s now live on Netflix! If you haven’t already, head over to Netflix in North America and Latin America to stream One Piece Episode #590. This is the first time it’s available with English, Spanish, and Portuguese dubs, so don’t miss out on this unparalleled adventure!

What Is the One Piece and Dragon Ball Crossover?

Despite initial expectations, “Toriko” didn’t achieve the popularity that Shueisha anticipated. Notably, the creator of the series was arrested for sex crimes in 2002. Regardless, this cross-over still represents a significant occasion for fans of “One Piece” and “Dragon Ball”. Labeled as Episode 590 of “One Piece”, this special is titled “History’s Strongest Collaboration vs. Glutton of the Sea”. This unique event brings the three series together, with a grand competition to determine who can prepare the best-tasting meat. It doesn’t take long before the main characters from each series engage in fierce battles against one another.

In much the same way that many cross-over stories don’t definitively decide who is the strongest fighter among Luffy, Goku, and Toriko, a monstrous foe appears, necessitating their unity to defeat it entirely. Although this encounter may seem slight when considering the entirety of the One Piece anime series, it remains a legendary crossover event. The paths of Goku and Luffy have now crossed, allowing fans to witness their dynamic in an adventure together, with the episode accessible for streaming on Netflix.
