Trivia

 * This movie takes place after the Dressrosa Arc, as Gild Tesoro stated that Luffy had beaten Donquixote Doflamingo and Sabo has the powers of the Mera Mera no Mi. However, the movie cannot fit into the current storyline, as all of the Straw Hat Pirates are united.
 * Heracles, Pandaman, Wanze, and Absalom make brief cameo appearances in this movie.
 * This is the first movie to feature Koala, Spandam, and Rob Lucci - as well as the second to feature Sabo, Donquixote Doflamingo and Akainu, as the three made appearances in Film: Z, although Sabo's and Doflamingo's were only in the credits as children.
