Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hand Island was created specifically for this TV special and never appeared in Oda's manga, making it rare anime-original canon-adjacent content.
The wax art motif references Japanese tradition of amezaiku (candy sculpting), connecting Luffy's rubber powers to malleable craft heritage.
