One Piece: Strong World Episode 0 is currently on YouTube. As it has never been sold commercially, this is a rare chance to see a piece of lost media.
The special tie-in OVA for the One Piece: Strong World movie is free for viewing on franchise's official YouTube channel for a limited time. Episode 0 is lost media, with physical copies of both the OVA and the manga volume existing in minuscule quantities. The YouTube upload is a rare opportunity to watch the short animation from an official source.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The tie-in was penned by One Piece author Eiichiro Oda, the same as the Strong World movie itself, making it canonical to the story's greater timeline. Despite that, trying to watch it has been an exercise in futility, given how few copies exist. The YouTube upload, while welcome, also isn't particularly accessible to English fans, thanks to a lack of subtitles.
Unfortunately, the video is clearly catered towards Japanese fans: it comes with no English subtitles, even though the video's description is written with it. For international fans, this means the value of the upload is more historical since this will be the best opportunity to watch the OVA at its highest quality, with Toei's art and animation unmarred by any transfer to discs.
Thankfully, Episode 0 is mostly a novelty, serving as 18 minutes of backstory running at light speed, but its rarity only illustrates how important it is to preserve all and any animation, if only for the sake of posterity. The YouTube upload at least confirms that Toei is in possession of a master copy. Perhaps in the future, they will see fit to upload the OVA once more when the time comes to celebrate another One Piece milestone.
