One Piece x Round1 Unveils 27 Exclusives in Historic US-Japan Collab

Round One Entertainment and the One Piece anime franchise are teaming up for something fans on both sides of the Pacific have never seen before: a single collaboration rolling out at the exact same time in Japan and the United States. Announced on July 1, the campaign transforms 159 Round1 arcades and entertainment centers — 100 in Japan, 59 in North America — into Straw Hat territory from July 18 through October 17.

The centerpiece is a mountain of exclusives: 27 merchandise items and crane-game prizes built around freshly commissioned artwork. Highlights include Round1-color variants of CHOPPER's plushies making their worldwide crane-game debut, multiple Gear 5 Luffy figure specials, mini plush sets of the entire Straw Hat crew, and lifestyle goods ranging from T-shirts and tote bags to playmats, blankets, and tumblers. Visitors can also step into manga-panel photo spots, themed bowling and karaoke packages, and limited food and beverage menus.

Collectors chasing paper treasure should note the all-new One Piece Card Game promotion pack — ten completely original card designs available only through this collaboration. In the United States, a registration lottery for the first distribution window opened July 1 and closes July 5 at 10:00 PM PST; winners can claim one promo card per $20 reload on their Round1 Game Card during the July 18–24 pickup period.

Select Japanese locations are adding a digital stamp rally tied to One Piece Bounty Rush panels, rewarding completed routes with postcards and bowling-score challenge badges. With voucher-gated apparel, karaoke freebies, and location-specific extras layered on top, Round1 is betting that synchronized trans-Pacific otaku tourism starts at the bowling lane — not just the convention hall.
