Popeyes has officially launched its first anime collaboration with the popular series One Piece, marking a significant moment for both the fast-food chain and anime fans alike. The collaboration, which began on April 13, 2026, features a limited-time menu inspired by the beloved Straw Hat Crew, a central group of characters from the series.
The centerpiece of this unique menu is the Luffy Bento Bundle, priced at $13.99. This bundle includes two pieces of Popeyes Signature Chicken, creamy Mac & Cheese, a refreshing Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade, and Chopper’s Cupcake. For those looking for a smaller option, a Luffy Bento Box is available for $7.99, which includes just the chicken and Mac & Cheese. Additionally, the Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade is priced at $3.49, while Chopper’s Cupcake can be purchased for $3.99.
Only six selected Popeyes locations will offer collectible bento boxes, adding an exclusive element to the promotion. Among these locations is Miami Beach, Florida, which is expected to attract both local fans and tourists eager to experience this collaboration firsthand. The limited availability of these collectible items is likely to heighten interest and demand.
Fans of One Piece can also look forward to purchasing Popeyes x One Piece merchandise starting April 15, 2026. This merchandise aims to further engage the fanbase and enhance the overall experience of the collaboration. The partnership is designed to resonate with the themes of adventure and loyalty that are central to the One Piece narrative, as noted by Matt Rubin, who emphasized the alignment of the franchise’s energy with Popeyes’ brand.
“For ONE PIECE fans, the story is about adventure, loyalty, and going all-in for the things you love. This energy perfectly aligns with Popeyes and comes to life throughout this partnership with Toei Animation,” said Rubin. He further added, “Inspired by some of our favorite moments from the iconic ONE PIECE franchise, we infused the experience with signature Popeyes flavor. This collaboration is designed to bring that spirit of adventure to life.”
The One Piece anime series, which began airing in 1999, has amassed over 1,100 episodes as of April 2026, solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon. The collaboration with Popeyes is expected to attract both long-time fans of the series and new customers curious about the unique menu offerings.
Popeyes operates over 4,000 restaurants worldwide, and this collaboration is a strategic move to tap into the growing popularity of anime and its fanbase. As the promotion unfolds, it will be interesting to see how it impacts customer engagement and sales for the brand.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the potential for future collaborations or expansions of the menu based on customer feedback. However, the initial response to this partnership is anticipated to shape any forthcoming developments.
