How to Watch All One Piece Movies in Order

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is one of the most iconic manga and anime series of all time, with well over a thousand episodes over its 20+ year run. However, the series goes beyond just the anime, as there are also fifteen One Piece movies, so here’s how to watch all of them in order.

All One Piece Films In Order & When to Watch Them

One Piece’s films are generally considered non-canonical, and many do not fit neatly into the anime’s continuity. That being said, they do all have a place in the series more broadly due to certain plot points, characters, and other details. With that in mind, here’s the watch order for the movies, and the episode of the One Piece anime series to put them on after:

1. One Piece: The Movie (2000 film) — (After episode 18)
2. Clockwork Island Adventure — (After episode 53)
3. Chopper’s Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals — (After episode 102)
4. Dead End Adventure — (After episode 138)
5. The Cursed Holy Sword — (After Dead End Adventure, OR episode 195)
6. Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island — (After episode 224)
7. The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle — (After episode 228)
8. Episode of Arabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates — (Arabasta saga remake, recaps episodes 92-130)
9. Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura — (Drum Island Arc remake, recaps episodes 78-91)
10. One Piece Film: Strong World — (After episode 381)
11. One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase — (After episode 516)
12. One Piece Film: Z — (After episode 574)
13. One Piece Film: Gold — (After episode 750)
14. One Piece Stampede — (After episode 877)
15. One Piece Film: Red — (After episode 1030)

As you can see, you can mostly watch the One Piece films in release order, intercut with the series. However, film 9 Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura recounts events between films 2 and 3, and film 8 Episode of Arabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates retells the story between films 3 and 4.

What One Piece Movies Are Canon?

Fans don’t generally consider any of the One Piece movies canon, with many having inconsistencies with the main series and its timeline. It’s also worth noting that Oda’s involvement with many of the movies was pretty minimal. That being said, there are characters that have debuted in the movies that have later become canon. The practice of having non-canon tie-in films is pretty common for anime series.

And that’s how to watch the One Piece movies in order, as well as what you need to know about whether the films are canon. The show is available to stream now on various platforms.
