The event, which follows a successful 2025 collaboration, will include a stadium-wide hat giveaway for the first 40,000 ticketed fans. Pregame activations are planned at Centerfield Plaza, along with a ceremonial first pitch and a postgame drone show featuring characters from the series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Lon Rosen, the Dodgers' Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, said the collaboration has quickly become a can't-miss event. Lisa Yamatoya, Senior Director and Head of Marketing at Toei Animation Inc., called last year's promotion one of the franchise's biggest in 2025 and said the company looks forward to welcoming a record crowd. The announcement follows Toei Animation's recent reveal of the first One Piece Fest 2026 in Los Angeles, further expanding the franchise's North American presence.","why_it_matters":"The return of One Piece Night for a second consecutive year signals that the Dodgers and Toei Animation see the crossover as a reliable draw, not a one-off stunt, and the franchise is deepening its North American live-event footprint alongside the new One Piece Fest.","published_at":"2026-05-28T16:15:28.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Anime Trending","Anime Corner"],"citations":[{"source":"Anime Trending","title":"Monkey D.
