One Piece is the latest anime to sneak into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
One Piece has spent the past few decades laying out its seafaring tale, and at this point, fans are more than invested. From its secret treasure to the fate of the Grand Line, everything is at stake in Eiichiro Oda's manga. His fans have been following Monkey D. Luffy for ages, and that includes fictional ones as well! Not long ago, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ushered the anime into its world, and the crossover is pretty much perfect.
As you can see below, the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series dropped a line about One Piece in an episode. The clip finds Leatherhead (voiced by Rose Byrne) and Wingnut (voiced by Natasia Demetriou) working together to disarm a bomb, and it is safe to say things are going poorly. Despite their best tries, the two only manage to speed up the bomb's countdown, and it forces one of them to recount their top regrets in life.

"This is how it ends," Wingnut admits. "There's so much I didn't do. I'll never finish One Piece!"
Of course, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lets the friends live, but the panic experienced here is hardcore relatable. One Piece has been going on for nearly 30 years at this point. For fans who have followed the Shonen Jump title since day one, well – they have aged quite a bit. It has become a joke amongst fans that some will pass away before One Piece is finished, leaving them to speculate about the series in the afterlife. However, it should be stressed that Oda does have the manga's endgame in mind.
Not only has Oda informed a select few about his ending for One Piece, but the manga has kickstarted its final saga. The series still has a number of arcs left to lay out, but every so slowly, the Straw Hat crew is nearing its last run. So if you want to catch up on One Piece, you can find it on Viz Media's Shonen Jump app.
As for TMNT, fans can stream Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles season one right now on Paramount+. The 2D-animated series tales place in between last year's blockbuster movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and its upcoming sequel, currently slated for release on October 9, 2026.
The Heroes in a Half Shell will also be teaming up with Naruto in an upcoming comic book series.
