On the heels of joining the Los Angeles Dodgers to announce its sponsorship of ONE PIECE Night on July 3 at Dodger Stadium, legendary studio Toei Animation revealed a limited edition ONE PIECE card to be given away to ticketed fans attending the event. This card for the ONE PIECE CARD GAME showcases one-time special occasion collaboration art drawn by ONE PIECE Creator Eiichiro Oda to celebrate the Dodgers sponsorship. This original artwork depicts ONE PIECE lead character Monkey D. Luffy as a baseball player dressed in a L.A. Dodgers’ hat and jersey. The ONE PIECE card will be distributed to ticketed fans — one card per person on a first-come first-served basis while supplies last — when they visit one of the ONE PIECE activation spaces inside of Dodger Stadium.
As previously announced, ONE PIECE Night at Dodger Stadium will include a variety of ONE PIECE activations in and around the stadium on July 3, as well as the giveaway of ONE PIECE co-branded straw hats to the first 40,000 ticketed fans in attendance that night. (Only one giveaway item, per person, per valid ticket upon entering the stadium.) Following the game, ONE PIECE Night will conclude with a special drone show featuring fan-favorite characters from the series.
ONE PIECE is produced by Toei Animation and based on the best-selling manga created by Eiichiro Oda. This iconic episodic series follows pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew on their epic quest to find the “One Piece,” the legendary treasure of Gol D. Rogers, former King of the Pirates. Now over 25 years since its Japanese TV premiere in 1999, ONE PIECE has taken its place in mainstream pop culture—attracting millions of fans of all ages and around the world. Today, the ONE PIECE franchise has grown beyond the original currently running episodic series to encompass 15 feature films, numerous video games, a trading card game and an ever-expanding catalog of licensed merchandise and location-based entertainment.

About the ONE PIECE CARD GAME
The ONE PIECE CARD GAME is a trading card game in which players use Leader and Character cards based on the ONE PIECE franchise in card battles. Rules provide for Standard Play (1 vs 1) only. Each player uses a deck of 50 cards in the same color as their Leader card and made up of three different card types (Character, Stage and Event) together with a set of ten DON!! cost card and set of Life cards equal to the Life Value on their Leader card to battle their opponent. Players take alternating turns (i.e., rounds) as the “attacker.” Each round encompasses 3-5 phases of card play that the attacking player must complete before ending their turn. To win the game, a player must battle and defeat their opponent’s Leader for a total number of times equal to the Leader’s Life Value + 1.
