Home Video Releases

The Toei Animation One Piece anime has been released on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray in Japan. The TV series has been released by Avex Group, the first nine movies were released by Toei Video and Movies 10 onward have been released by Pony Canyon. More than 100 DVDs have been released.

The TV series is divided into "Seasons" for home video and initially released as single disc "Pieces" containing 2-5 episodes; the first DVD was released on February 21, 2001 and contained four episodes. The Pieces were released simultaneously on VHS and DVD during the first three seasons, and rental VHS versions continued to be released until the end of season eight. Starting with Episode 575 (Z's Ambition and Season 16), the "pieces" were also released on Blu-ray in High Definition. Some episodes, such as movie tie-ins and the Boss Luffy Historical Special episodes, are released as special episodes outside of the Seasons, though the episode numbering remains unchanged.

"Log" re-releases, containing 13-19 episodes, followed from July 23, 2010 on DVD only. "Eternal Log" Blu-ray releases began in January 2021, with each release containing upwards of sixty episodes in Standard Definition; due to the higher capacity of Blu-ray discs compared to DVDs, and the relativity low resolution of the video compared to an HD encode, the Eternal Logs include significantly more episode per disc than other releases. These releases split the series differently to the Seasons and skip some episodes that weren't directly based on manga chapters.

The first 206 episodes were originally produced in 4:3 "Fullscreen" and episodes 207 onward were produced in 16:9 "widescreen", however some releases crop episodes from their original aspect ratio. The Season and Log DVD releases horizontally cropped episodes 207-229 from 16:9 to 4:3. Further episodes were presented uncropped in their retail release, but in 4:3 on the rental version; this caused the misconception among international fans that all Japanese DVD copies of the episodes were in 4:3 after rental DVD copies were circulated online. The Eternal log Blu-rays use "Special Edition" versions of episodes 1-206 which are cropped vertically from 4:3 to 16:9.
