One Piece fans get ready as the "One Piece Film Z" English dub is set to be released this year on July 2014!
According to Toonzone, The Australian distributor Madman Entertainment has confirmed on its official twitter account that it plans to publish a bilingual release for "One Piece Film Z" on video in July 2014. Madman Entertainment typically releases its anime titles with both an English dub and the Japanese audio track with English subtitles. This revelation comes prior to an English release being officially announced for the movie anywhere else in the world, including in the United States, where One Piece English dub producer FUNimation Entertainment is based.
Should this push through this will be the first time American audiences will hear the English voice of Admiral Borsalino aka Kizaru, the Admiral who has the power of the "Pika Pika No Mi" which allows him to turn into light and attack and move at the speed of light.
Speaking of One Piece, after getting an easter egg tribute from Assassins Creed IV in which a ship called "Thriller Bark" appeared in the game (which is an obvious reference to the biggest ship in One Piece called "Thriller Bark"), the game "South Park: The Stick of Truth" had dropped some references to the popular manga.
In the game the player get to fight a kid whose clothes greatly resemble the clothes of the One Piece character, Monkey D. Luffy. Ike even says "I am the pirate king" which is sort of the catch-phrase motto of Luffy where every once in a while he says "I am going to be the pirate king".
