One Piece Anime Secures Yet Another Guinness World Record

As a lifelong manga enthusiast who’s been following the comic book scene since the ’90s, let me tell you that One Piece is nothing short of extraordinary! I remember when it first started, and now it’s nearing its 30th anniversary – time really does fly when you’re having fun.


One Piece, first launched in 1997, is an extraordinary franchise that’s almost reaching its 30th anniversary. With numerous reasons to celebrate, from the live-action adaptation to its latest anime series, the Straw Hat gang continues to thrive. Moreover, it has been confirmed that One Piece recently set another Guinness World Record.

Absolutely, that’s another record added to its collection. With each new milestone, One Piece is getting closer to breaking the most world records in the manga category, an achievement we can only admire. Eiichiro Oda has consistently poured his heart and effort into creating One Piece since day one, showing no signs of slowing down.

Lately, One Piece Day announced exciting news to fans as Guinness World Records verified a new accolade. This honor is for the anime itself, with One Piece earning the record thanks to an extraordinary DVD collection.

One Piece Anime Secures Yet Another Guinness World Record

According to Guinness World Records, the anime TV series “One Piece” has released a total of 300 DVDs, with these releases spanning from February 21, 2001, to July 3, 2024. This record-breaking number was distributed by Avex Pictures Inc., based in Japan. It’s important to note that this is just one of the many accolades that the series has achieved.

The comic book series “One Piece,” created by a single author (Oda), holds the record for the highest number of copies sold compared to any other comic book series. Oda received a significant accolade in 2015, and this recognition was reaffirmed in 2022. The second award came when the One Piece manga surpassed 500 million printed copies worldwide, and since then, sales have continued to increase.

Outside of the popular anime series, “One Piece” enthusiasts are setting new records as well. In January 2023, Lam Siu Fung was honored by Guinness World Records for his astounding collection of “One Piece” merchandise. By year’s end, this dedicated fan had amassed an impressive total of 20,125 items in his extensive collection, earning him the title of the world’s largest collector of “One Piece” memorabilia. Even the creator of “One Piece,” Oda, can’t match those numbers, so Fung truly deserves his recognition.

As the popular “One Piece” saga expands, it’s set to break even more records in the realm of anime and manga. The unstoppable phenomenon that graces the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump is far from slowing down. If you haven’t had a chance to explore this title yet, you can effortlessly access the “One Piece” manga. It’s readily available on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump app. For more details about the series, feel free to read its official synopsis provided below:

Growing up, I was enchanted by the pirate stories of the buccaneer known as “Red-Haired” Shanks. His tales sparked within me an ambition to follow in his footsteps and rule the seas as a pirate king. However, my life took an unexpected turn when I unintentionally consumed the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit, granting me the ability to stretch like elastic…at the expense of losing my swimming skills forever! Despite this setback, I remained steadfast in my dream. Years later, I embarked on my voyage, sailing solo in a small boat, in pursuit of the fabled “One Piece,” rumored to be the world’s greatest treasure.
