Dim Mak x One Piece Collection announced for Anime Expo 2022
Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak and Toei Animations are collaborating on an exclusive line of merch celebrating One Piece.
The Dim Mak x One Piece collection will be sold exclusively at Anime Expo, which runs from today (July 1) through July 4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Aoki said this about their love for One Piece’s Monkey D. Luffy:
“I am a huge fan of Luffy. I am inspired by his selfless determination to help people, his mischievous misadventures, his innocent outlook on obstacles, and how he doesn’t let the world define who he is despite the 1.5 billion berry bounty his adversaries are after. I love how passionately he defends and relies on his friends and how he can convert enemies into allies through his kindness.”
Aoki will have a special performance at The Novo tomorrow (July 2) in celebration of One Piece Film Red, which will premiere in Japan on August 6 with a North American release this fall.
