One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Trailer Turns the Game into Hilarious Shoujo Manga

Today Bandai Namco Entertainment released a rather peculiar trailer of the upcoming musou-style anime game One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.

The trailer is set in the Private Whole Cake High School, where a male transfer student named Luffy charms the cute student council president Charlotte Linlin. 

If you are a One Piece fan, you probably know where this is going as the “real” Charlotte, also known as Big Mom, crashes the party and shatters this sweet dream. 

Incidentally, the trailer, which you can enjoy below alongside some relevant artwork, is drawn by mangaka Youko Maki, known for many shoujo manga (manga for girls) like Aishiteruze Baby and Romantica Clock. Her style is likely the farthest you can imagine from One Piece, which makes this all the more hilarious.

If you’d like to see more about the game, you can check out the lprevious trailer featuring characters and special moves, another focusing on online co-op, some gameplay showing the Enies Lobby Arc, an English trailer focusing on Luffy, another starring Crocodile, one focusing on more Straw Hat members, even more, another batch, another, one more, another trio, and the previous four.

We also have a video showinge Kaido and Big Mom in  action, more trailers focusing on Kaido and Big Mom, another trailer that showcased the Alabasta arc, one that introduced the release date, the previous trailer and screenshots showing off Basil Hawkins, another trailer from a few weeks ago, another from Gamescom, and the original announcement.

You can then watch plenty of gameplay that I recorded at Tokyo Game Show, showing Carrot in action, and a batch of screenshots featuring Luffy Fourth Gear Snakeman and Charlotte Katakuri, and another showcasing the story arcs and the playable characters.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is set to be released on March 27, 2020, for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
