One Piece Anime Meets Rubik’s Cube

A Match Made in Puzzle Heaven: The One Piece Rubik’s Cube Collaboration

In an exciting fusion of pop culture icons, the Rubik’s Cube is getting a One Piece makeover. This collaboration pays tribute to the series’ legendary lead, Monkey D. Luffy. With vibrant visuals and intricate designs, this cube promises fans a unique experience.

Unveiling the Luffy Cube

Recently, MegaHouse Corporation, under Bandai Namco Group, rolled out teasers for this special Rubik’s Cube. Each face of the cube highlights a different "Gear" form of Luffy. It’s not just a puzzle, but a display piece for hardcore fans. This exclusive set also boasts a sleek black base and a quirky "Gum Gum fruit" case.

For those looking to snag one, preorders are now open through November 18, 2024. The cube carries a price tag of 5,500 yen, or about $36. Enthusiasts outside Japan can look to international stores like BigBadToyStore and Hobby Genki for their fix.

Celebrating A Milestone

This venture also aligns with the Rubik’s Cube celebrating its 50th anniversary. Born in Hungary in 1974, it transformed from a teaching tool to a global sensation. Over 500 million units later, its legacy of challenging our minds remains untouched.

Just as the cube evolved, so did the figures featured on its faces. One Piece, the world-renowned manga series, has sold over 516 million copies since its 1997 debut. The series has paused its story to maintain quality. In its stead, Netflix welcomes the One Piece Fan Letter special, while Crunchyroll teases a recut of the Fish-Man Island saga.

When and Where to Get Your Hands on It

Eager fans can anticipate the One Piece Rubik’s Cube on shelves come March 2025. While they wait, VIZ Media offers the manga in English, and streaming platforms like Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll uphold the anime’s legacy. Monkey D. Luffy’s adventures continue to inspire, as pirate and puzzle fans alike find joy in this nostalgic nod.

Unlock your inner puzzle master with this one-of-a-kind collector’s piece. Embrace the challenge, and let the pirate king guide you through the twists and turns of this Rubik’s adventure.
