With the One Piece Film: Gold doing solid box office business this weekend with just under $11 million made in Japan as it took the top of the box office charts, we’ve got a bit of a clue as to the home video release now. The TV special that preceded it has now gotten its home video release plans set by Avex Pictures with a planned October 28th, 2016 debut for the lengthy special that served as a lead-in to the film, connecting the recent Silver Mine arc to One Piece Film: Gold. The special, whose extras and benefits have not been announced yet, will have four editions to choose from with:
- BD LE: 7,560 yen
- BD Reg: 5,940 yen
- DVD LE: 6,480 yen
- DVD Reg: 4,860 yen
The special is directed by Tatsuya Nagamine based on the screenplay by Tsutomu Kuroiwa.
Plot concept: There exists a mysterious treasure that even Tesoro desires, the ‘Pure Gold.’ The Straw Hats meet a girl who knows where this treasure lies, and they head for the legendary island, ‘Alchemy.’
