Find out what happens in the crossover between ‘One Piece’ and ‘Dragon Ball’, which remained unknown to countless people for a decade
This Tuesday, the 5th, chapter 590 of the “One Piece” anime arrived in the Netflix catalog, entitled “The most powerful collaboration in history against the Glutton of the Seas”. The special and commemorative episode, which is part of the Punk saga Hazard, features another memorable character from the world of anime: Goku, from “Dragon Ball”.
In addition to the duo, another character who is also present in the production is the hero Toriko, from the anime of the same name, and other great characters from the “Dragon Ball” franchise, such as Goten, Android 18, Trunks, Mr. Satan and Gohan.
What happens in the episode?
In the production, Goku, Luffy and Toriko find themselves in a dispute at The International Gourmet Organization (IGO), a gastronomic institution that holds huge food competitions mixed with martial arts, where the winner would take rare meat.
The trio, recognized precisely for their passion for food, decides to enter the competition. However, the battle needs to be postponed after a huge threat emerges, requiring Luffy, Goku and Toriko to unite to combat it.
Missed episode?
For many people, the crossover between “One Piece” and “Dragon Ball” may seem like something new, even though its original release took place 11 years ago — but don’t worry, there is a valid explanation for why many people don’t know about the existence of this legendary episode. .
This is because, as reported by the TecMundo portal, the chapter was only broadcast on television once, due to problems related to the copyright of the three animes, meaning that, until today, it had not been released on streaming services or physical collections, being extremely rare to find on the internet.
The situation, however, changed in 2023, when Toei Animation reported that, after a decade of waiting, Adult Swim’s anime block, Toonami, would air “The most powerful collaboration in history against the Glutton of the Seas”, airing on March 4th, however, with some cuts, due to copyright.
The episode available today in the Brazilian Netflix catalog is also not complete. This is because the characters’ first meeting and the beginning of the plot takes place in chapter 99 of “Toriko”, which is not yet available in Brazil. However, in order not to leave fans lost and to keep everyone in context, the plot begins with a summary of what happened.
