Baskin-Robbins Japan has announced an exciting collaboration with the beloved anime franchise One Piece, introducing a limited-time selection of themed ice cream treats. According to Oricon, this marks the ice cream brand’s first official partnership with One Piece, set to launch on April 1 (JST) under the campaign title The Grand Ice Cream Era: Delicious Encounters With Your Crew.
As part of the promotion, Baskin-Robbins Japan will release a new flavor inspired by One Piece protagonist Monkey D. Luffy’s signature ability. The “Gum-Gum Fruit Punch” sorbet, named after the mythical fruit that grants Luffy his rubber-like elasticity, features a dynamic taste experience, described as changing flavors with each bite. The sorbet is accompanied by a sweet-and-sour ribbon and white popping candies that create a fizzy soda-like texture. Fans can enjoy this new flavor in “Luffy’s Amazing! Pirate Double Cup A,” which comes with a small cookie embossed with the Straw Hat Pirate symbol and an exclusive acrylic charm of Luffy.
Beyond Luffy’s treat, the collaboration includes specially themed sundaes dedicated to key One Piece characters. The “Zoro and Sanji Double Wing Sundae” celebrates Luffy’s closest allies, featuring two ice cream flavors of the buyer’s choice topped with whipped cream. Sanji’s side is drizzled with strawberry sauce, symbolizing his fiery culinary skills, while chocolates displaying Zoro and Sanji’s wanted posters decorate the sundae. Acrylic picks of both characters are included, flanking a Straw Hat Pirate Flag pick at the center.
For fans of the Straw Hat crew’s navigator, “Nami’s Sparkling Orange Sundae” is inspired by her love of oranges and treasure. The dessert includes whipped cream, orange-flavored sauce, and bead-like orange “alazan” resembling gold and jewels. It is topped with in-universe currency, berries, along with an acrylic Nami pick. Meanwhile, “Chopper’s Sweet Sundae With Cherry Blossoms” offers a delicate blend of pink and white chocolate pieces atop ice cream and whipped cream. The cup features a printed decal of Chopper’s hoof and an acrylic pick of him enjoying cotton candy, his favorite treat.
To commemorate the collaboration, Baskin-Robbins Japan is offering a special One Piece Egghead Arc-themed ice cream box for customers who purchase eight small sundae cups. The packaging showcases One Piece’s beloved ship, the Thousand Sunny, alongside major characters from the ongoing Egghead Arc. Additionally, buyers will receive a One Piece-themed foldable eco-bag.
The One Piece x Baskin-Robbins Japan collaboration will run from April 1 to May 8 (JST). While details regarding an international release remain undisclosed, the global popularity of One Piece could lead to an overseas expansion of the campaign. In the meantime, fans can stream One Piece on Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll.
