Round1 Announces New One Piece Collab Featuring Exclusive Promo Trading Cards
Round1 has announced its first-ever simultaneous collaboration with the One Piece TV anime, bringing an extensive lineup of exclusive attractions, merchandise, and themed experiences to fans across Japan and North America this summer.
Beginning July 18, 2026, the campaign will take over 100 Round1 locations across Japan and 59 locations throughout North America, making it one of the franchise’s largest international entertainment collaborations to date.
The event will feature newly illustrated artwork created exclusively for the collaboration, with participating venues transformed through themed decorations designed to immerse visitors in the world of One Piece.
Created by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 1997 before growing into one of the world’s most successful manga franchises, surpassing 600 million copies in global circulation as of March 4, 2026, including more than 450 million copies in Japan and over 150 million copies overseas.
The television anime debuted in 1999 and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2024, while the Elbaf story arc began airing on April 5, 2026, and Netflix launched the second season of its live-action adaptation on March 10, 2026.
One of the collaboration’s biggest attractions is the exclusive One Piece Card Game Round1 Promotion Pack, featuring 10 completely original card designs created specifically for the event.
Guests who order any collaboration menu item will receive one randomly selected promotional card while supplies last.
The campaign also introduces the world’s first CHOPPER’s plush prize series, with crane games offering three exclusive Round1 color variations alongside standard-color CHOPPER’s plush toys and special Round1 colored versions.
Players visiting participating locations can also join a digital stamp rally themed around the One Piece Bounty Rush mobile game by scanning QR codes displayed beside exclusive character panels throughout each venue.
Collecting three digital stamps rewards participants with one randomly selected postcard from a set of four exclusive designs.
Twelve participating locations will additionally host a bowling score challenge, with eligible players receiving one randomly selected One Piece Bounty Rush pin badge from a collection of six designs after achieving the required score.
Large interactive photo spots inspired by iconic manga panels will allow visitors to step inside recreated scenes and pose as members of the Straw Hat crew.
Three flagship stores, DC Tokyo Plaza, Sendai Izumi and Sennichimae, will also receive large-scale exterior and interior displays featuring unique One Piece-themed artwork created specifically for each location.
Fans looking for exclusive merchandise will be able to purchase a collection featuring the newly illustrated collaboration artwork, including four T-shirt designs, 10 alphabet sticker designs, 10 mini acrylic blocks and 10 mini acrylic stands.
The merchandise collection will be available both in participating stores and through an online reservation service with in-store pickup.
Round1 representatives described the collaboration as one of the company’s largest entertainment projects, bringing together its extensive network of 159 locations across Japan and North America to deliver the same high-quality experience to fans on both sides of the Pacific.
The organizers also highlighted the exclusive promotional One Piece Card Game cards and newly commissioned artwork as two of the collaboration’s biggest attractions, with characters depicted enjoying various Round1 activities including bowling and billiards in ways created exclusively for the event.
The One Piece × Round1 collaboration begins on July 18, 2026, across 100 Round1 locations in Japan and 59 locations throughout North America, with exclusive merchandise, limited prizes, themed food, collectible bonuses, and interactive attractions available for a limited time.
