Official Portrait of 'MONSTERS: 103 MERCIES DRAGON DAMNATION', the Latest Anime by Eiichiro Oda, Creator of 'ONE PIECE'

In 2023, as part of the annual ONE PIECE Day event in Japan, it was announced that the prequel story of ONE PIECE, MONSTERS, will be adapted into an anime titled MONSTERS: 103 MERCIES DRAGON DAMNATION. MONSTERS is considered highly reputable among all the stories before ONE PIECE by Eiichiro Oda, so fans will be delighted to see this story receive proper recognition. After the official announcement, not much was discussed about MONSTERS: 103 MERCIES DRAGON DAMNATION. However, that changed when the first official trailer was released on YouTube and confirmed the release date on January 22nd.

One of the main attractions of Monsters is its status as a prequel to One Piece. The main protagonist of Monsters is Ryuma, and Eiichiro Oda confirmed that the Ryuma who appears as a zombie in the Thriller Bark arc is the same Ryuma from Monsters.

Monsters tells the story of Ryuma's journey as he visits a town destroyed by a dragon and meets a young servant named Flare, along with various challenges that arise. Monsters was first released as a one-shot manga in October 1994, three years before One Piece began, before later being collected in a book of short stories by Eiichiro Oda in 1998.

The Wano arc in One Piece reveals more about Ryuma's history. It is also known that he is an ancestor of Zoro, and Monsters may tell the story before Ryuma became a national figure in Wano.

Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation will combine Eastern and Western aesthetics with Ryuma as a samurai in a wild west-styled environment.

Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation will not take place in the One Piece world of Wano, but in an old western town destroyed by a Dragon.

In the canon One Piece story, Ryuma kills a Dragon in Wano. However, there will be changes to this story, including the introduction of Haki, and Ryuma will also have the Black Sword Shusui from the beginning.

Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation will have Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ryuma, Kana Hanazawa as Flare, and Hiroki Tochi as Cyrano and will also be directed by Sunghoo Park.
