The Los Angeles Dodgers and anime studio Toei Animation have officially renewed their partnership for a one-day stadium promotion celebrating the global hit series ONE PIECE. Scheduled for Thursday, July 2, on the first day of Anime Expo, ONE PIECE Night will take over UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium during the Dodgers' 7:10 p.m. matchup against the San Diego Padres. Based on Eiichiro Oda's best-selling manga, the iconic series has spent over 25 years cementing itself in mainstream pop culture.

Following last year's massive success, which famously gave away a Straw Hat and a highly coveted Dodger Luffy trading card that now commands over $1,000 on the secondary market, the highly anticipated return will feature a pregame activation in the Centerfield Plaza. The evening will also include a ceremonial first pitch (which featured live-action Nami actress Emily Rudd last year) and a postgame drone show showcasing fan-favorite characters.

They've also noted that there will be a stadium-wide giveaway to the first 40,000 ticketed fans in attendance, but no current word on what it is.

For the latest news and information about the event, fans can follow Toei Animation across their official social media channels.
