Jirocho Sangokushi Corner
Jirocho Sangokushi Corner!!! is a 3 page segment unique to this volume. It is located on pages 216-218.


 * In this segment, the author, Eiichiro Oda, introduces one of his favorite period dramas, Jirocho Sangokushi (1963).


 * After a brief introduction and synopsis of the movie on pages 216-217, Oda goes on in the next page (titled Jirocho Sangokushi Corner 2!!!) to describe how he acquired the period drama for himself through his own connections.
 * Here, Oda goes on a slight tangent, talking about how he started drawing ONE PIECE after watching some of his favorite classic movies such as Seven Samurai and Star Wars, thinking that they would surely have been even more entertaining if the side characters were toned down and the main characters were emphasized. However, after he discovered Jirocho Sangokushi, which had been written ages before he was even born, he states that it became his ultimate goal to turn ONE PIECE into something that surpasses the period drama.
 * Oda explains that he was shocked when he found out that the drama hadn't even been published and marketed in VHS, DVD, or Blueray format, and talks about how one of his e-pals, Toshio Suzuki (who also loves period dramas), ended up asking one of his connections, the ex-president of Toho Co. Ltd., to publish Jirocho Sangokushi in DVD format. Oda mentions that he followed Suzuki's lead, asking himself as well.
 * In the end, the ex-president of Toho agreed to publish the DVD, with the condition that Oda draws the illustrations for the DVD covers.
 * Oda apologizes to the older, long-time Jirocho Sangokushi fans for someone as young as himself having the nerve to accept this condition. However, he also adds in his defense that with this decision, the period drama was finally able to make a comeback in a modern, easily accesible format for the younger generation.
 * The segment is wrapped up with Oda recommending his readers to definitely check out the show along with friends and family.
