After spending several years only available in Japan, “One Piece” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” will soon make their way to Universal Studios Hollywood. This is part of the upcoming Universal FanFest Nights event happening this Spring. If you’ve been keeping up with the anime scene recently, it’s no secret that anime and manga releases have gained significant global recognition in recent years. This surge in popularity has also sped up the licensing and translation process for U.S. distribution, making these franchises more accessible than ever before. Now, we’re taking things a step further!

At Universal Studios Japan, popular anime series such as “One Piece” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” have frequently been celebrated through unique events due to their remarkable popularity; however, these events were mainly limited to that specific region. This is set to change as the Universal FanFest Nights will extend to Universal Studios Hollywood from April 25th to May 18th in the upcoming spring season. The theme park plans to host a myriad of franchise-centric events, and among them, there will be special events for “One Piece” and “Jujutsu Kaisen” enthusiasts. Take a look at the promo poster for One Piece: Grand Pirate Gathering, which is part of Universal FanFest Nights below.
