One Piece Film Red's mammoth-sized theatrical run will be ending on January 29 at most theaters in Japan, leaving theaters with as big a bang as it had over its huge run. At a stage greeting tonight for the Toei Animation-produced film, it was revealed that to celebrate the end of the run, a special "finale video" will play after every screening of the film starting today alongside the distribution of "THANK YOU goods" to everyone that sees the film.
The first lot of goods, which will start distribution on January 21, is the "One Piece Card Game Finale Set," an updated version of the cards given out in the film's second week.
The second set of goods is on top of the cards (unless they run out) and will be given out on January 29 and 29, the film's final two days. 200,000 copies of a signed clear file that features a climax visual drawn by Eiichiro Oda.

The special "finale video" will feature the voice cast of One Piece Film Red, including the entire Straw Hat crew, Uta's talking and singing voices and the voice of Gordon. Director Goro Taniguchi and Eiichiro Oda will also feature in the video in some way that thanks fans for their support of the film since it was released last August.
One Piece Film Red opened in Japanese theaters on August 6. Crunchyroll released the film in English-speaking countries last November, starting with Australia and New Zealand on November 3 then followed by the United States and Canada on November 4. Crunchyroll describes the seafaring musical adventure as such:
Uta—the most beloved singer in the world whose voice has been described as "otherworldly"—is renowned for concealing her own identity when performing. Now, for the first time ever, she will reveal herself to the world at a live concert.
With the Navy watching closely, the venue fills with Uta's fans—including excited pirates and the Straw Hats led by Luffy, who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—all eagerly awaiting the voice that the whole world has been waiting for to resound. The story begins with the shocking revelation that she is the enigmatic Shanks' daughter.
The One Piece TV anime is also still going strong, with over 1,000 episodes of the series streaming right here on Crunchyroll and new episodes coming out each week as they air in Japan.
