Although fans are eager to watch the One Piece: Strong World OVA story, the decision to release it without English subtitles hinders their ability to fully enjoy it. Interestingly, English-speaking fans, who may be the least aware of the OVA's existence, have significantly fewer opportunities to experience it compared to their Japanese counterparts.
That being said, it’s understandable considering the upcoming airing of the Strong World film in Japan this Saturday, October 14, 2023. The franchise is likely aiming to give franchise fans the chance to experience both the film and the OVA, which may be new to some fans. Moreover, the limited availability of the OVA for just three months further reinforces this intention, rather than keeping it permanently.
It's exciting to see the Strong World film finally hitting the screens in Japan on October 14, 2023. The franchise is making sure fans get to enjoy the film and the OVA within a short span. Don't miss the opportunity! #OnePiece #StrongWorld
Franchise staff officially claimed that the video was uploaded to YouTube as a celebration of the return of Film Red to theaters in Japan, starting on Friday, October 20. This limited theatrical run of the latest film in the franchise is scheduled to last for one month, allowing fans the chance to either revisit or watch the film for the first time.
Interestingly, the Strong World OVA never received a commercial release, even in Japan. Instead, House Foods, a collaborator on the anime adaptation of the OVA's source material, distributed 3,000 DVDs of the anime for free in 2010. These DVDs are now being resold online, with prices ranging from as low as $300 USD to well over $700 USD.
