We learned last week that both One Piece and Dragon Ball Super would be getting an hour-long special each in early October. Now things are getting underway more formally with the first promotional spot for it that you can see below. The One Piece hour-long special will land on October 1st while the Dragon Ball Super hour-long special will arrive on October 8th, 2017. The specials are not crossovers but nicely timed battlers of significance within each arc of the franchise as they currently stand. One Piece will focus on Luffy going against Sanji while Dragon Ball Super will pit Goku versus Jiren.
Dragon Ball Super: With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as a…radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, a powerful god awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of a formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?
One Piece: Monkey. D. Luffy refuses to let anyone or anything stand in the way of his quest to become the king of all pirates. With a course charted for the treacherous waters of the Grand Line and beyond, this is one captain who’ll never give up until he’s claimed the greatest treasure on Earth: the Legendary One Piece!
