Kokoro no Chizu

"Kokoro no Chizu" is the fifth opening song in the One Piece anime. It is sung by BOYSTYLE. "Kokoro no Chizu" is the first opening to be aired in widescreen.

Opening
We see a sprinkle of gold dust before it fades into Luffy's face as he drops from the sky (top down view), Zoro comes next yawning as he falls, Nami blows a kiss as she descends, Robin does a Fleur move, Chopper looking fearful as he flips around toward earth, Usopp tries to "swim" up and manages for awhile before gravity takes hold again and he falls, Sanji spins and does a kick move before going into his love cook state, and finally the Going Merry follows after him. A CG shot shows it crashing back onto the ocean as the title comes up.

The usual scene of the ship sailing the Grand Line is shown as well the Straw Hats (sans Usopp) on the front deck of the ship. Usopp spots an island from the crow's nest and Chopper steers the ship toward it. The Straw Hats' making camp and a top down view of them sleeping before we see individual shots of each of them ending with flashes of Foxy's crew and the Galley-La. Various shots of future events from the Davy Back Fight and Water 7 arcs (Luffy fighting Aokiji, Sanji fighting Hamburg, Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe, Luffy, Nami, and Usopp getting kicked by Kalifa, Fights with the Franky Family, Luffy and Usopp's fight, Robin passing by a masked Blueno, Kaku jumping off a building, Paulie and Lucci's scuffle, etc) before finally a shot of the Straw Hat standing in front of the Going Merry. The Straw Hats Jolly Roger blowing in the wind before finally pans to each of the the crew before ending with a shot of the signature Straw Hat.

Lyrics
It's all right! Now let's move forward

with the sun always in our hearts

As power passes through our clasped hands

let's grab hold of our wishes

Working together, let's ride the giant waves

Let's hurry towards the excitement—there's the starting signal

Now's the time to set sail—let's raise anchor

Cut through the rainbow-colored wind and head for a sea of adventure

It'll be a journey fraught with injury

but what you cherish most will be right there

And if you get into a jam

I'll always be there to protect you

It's all right! Now let's move forward

with the sun always in our hearts

If a storm hits, let's put our arms around each other

and gaze at the light beyond

If we gather up the pieces of our dreams

they'll make a map leading leading to tomorrow

So let's grab hold of our wishes

under the same flag—together, we're one

One Piece

Trivia

 * This is the first opening that does not begin with a narration.
 * FUNimation showed this opening with English subtitles instead of dubbing it like the previous openings.
 * During the scene where Luffy was fighting Aokiji, the anime used different footage for the respective episode. The footage was actually reused in a flashback in Episode 272, which followed a different opening.
 * In the Adult Swim broadcasts, most of the opening is cut with only the Straw Hats falling and the end of the opening are shown.
 * This opening is the first to feature the real story, as the Going Merry has repairs all over. Also, the ship falls from the sky, indicating the fall from Skypeia.
