With this latest achievement, One Piece now holds four records in the Guinness World Records, making it one of the most successful anime and manga franchises of all time.
Bestselling Comic by a Single Author
Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, holds the world record for the most copies of a manga published for a title written by a single author. This record has even been updated several times, specifically in 2015 and 2022, as its sales figures continue to rise to this day.
Most DVD Releases for a TV Series
The second record comes from the animation media. The anime version of One Piece, which has been airing since 1999, is recorded as the TV series with the most DVD releases in history, with 300 releases as of last year, 2024.
Largest Collection of One Piece Merchandise
A fan managed to break the world record by owning more than 20,000 One Piece memorabilia items. Ranging from action figures, clothing, to rare manga editions. It is said that he has a straw hat personally signed by Oda.
