WANTED

WANTED was a mini-show at Universal Studios Japan that was part of One Piece Premier Summer 2012. It ran until September 9th, 2012.

Information
The show consisted of a group of Marines presenting to a crowd. The Marines were made up of 4 to 7 soldiers and one commander.

When the show began, the commander would introduce the soldiers one at a time, and each soldier would display some skill or talent to the crowd. These displays ranged from serious displays of talent to joke displays, and multiple Marines used different displays over the course of the various shows.

Once the introductions were complete, the soldiers would enter the crowd and find volunteers to come up on stage. The volunteer would introduce themselves (and, if they were cosplaying, their character) before showing off their own skill; like the Marines, these ranged from serious talents to jokes, and were up to the volunteer's discretion. The intentionality behind it is unclear, but the volunteers were usually people cosplaying as One Piece characters.

After a few volunteer demonstrations were complete, the show would be interrupted by Demaro Black, who was usually pretending to be a cosplayer in the crowd. After a short disruption that the Marines mistook for crowd involvement, they would attack Black, arresting him and pulling him away as the show ended.

Trivia

 * Edomae, Amity, Loudness, and Chico Chip would later reappear in One Piece Pirate Sweeping Operation, with the first three keeping the same actors.
 * While the decision process for which Marines would be present at which shows is unclear, certain Marines were particularly favored: Edomae, Amity, Chico Chip, Nyanta, and Cerriot were nearly always present.
