One Piece, the popular manga and anime, sells all sorts of merchandise from figurines to sunglasses to school supplies. Surprisingly, the second most popular One Piece merchandise—One Piece t-shirts are the number one best selling product—aren’t posters, toys, or school supplies, but the official One Piece toilet paper.
For those who don’t know, last year One Piece debuted a line of Villain Rolls for fans to express their hated for certain One Piece baddies by giving them the skid mark special, so to speak. Those unfortunate characters with their faces on toilet paper sheets include Buggy the Clown, Wet-Haired Caribou, Jack the Drought, and Arlong the Saw. This year, Rob Lucci, Hordy Jones, and Saint Charlos were added to the popular brand for the sole purpose of being crapped on with future plans for Blackbeard, Sir Crocodile, and Magellan (More of an antagonist than a villain but we get where they’re going with this choice.) to receive their own tissue rolls for “fans” to give them the ultimate mud pie salute.
With demand so high, it was only a matter of time before a new set would be announced. Rival Rolls will be, well, rolling into stores sometime this summer. This set will feature rival characters One Piece fans constantly pit against each other such as Zoro, Sanji, Dracule Mihawk, and “Red-Haired” Shanks.
One Sanji superfan already has plans to camp out at the One Piece Mugiwara Store in Tokyo, Japan the night before release day and has already began eating a diet consisting mostly of artichokes, prunes, and various bean casseroles stating “Instead of a black blade, Zoro’s getting the brown blade he deserves.” He further added, “Yes, I do have a girlfriend.” When pressed for more information, the Sanji fanboy wouldn’t give us her name or any other proof she exists.
