Bandai Namco and Shueisha have officially announced a new line of One Piece x NBA keychains for Gashapon capsule machines. These acrylic charms will debut in Japan at the end of May 2026, featuring character art and designs inspired by the popular NBA crossover collaboration.

While the initial release is limited to Japan, fans in North America can expect these keychains to appear in Gashapon machines following the Japanese launch. This follows the established pattern for One Piece gacha items, which have historically been released worldwide after their Japanese debut. The anime and manga series even has its own dedicated page on the official site, reflecting the franchise’s global appeal.

Keychain Details and Pricing

Each keychain features a random acrylic charm depicting a One Piece character in action, wearing an NBA uniform. A ball chain keychain is attached via a loop at the top. In Japan, each try costs 300円 (~$2). Pricing for the U.S. and Canada has not yet been announced.

The collection includes 11 unique keychains, each tied to a specific NBA team and character:

  • Enel in an Oklahoma City Thunder uniform
  • Gear 5 Form Monkey D. Luffy in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform
  • Nami in a Denver Nuggets uniform

Visuals and Availability

Images of the keychains have been shared by Bandai Namco, NBA, and Shueisha. The Japanese release is scheduled for the end of May 2026, with North American availability expected to follow.

Where to Watch One Piece

For fans interested in the franchise, Viz Media handles the manga outside Japan, while the anime is available on platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix. The first two live-action seasons are exclusively on Netflix, and Lego One Piece will premiere on the platform in September 2026. Additionally, a new animated adaptation titled The One Piece is set to debut on Netflix.

"These items follow other merchandise based on this crossover, which includes items like figures. It also means it respects the established ties between certain characters and teams."

For example, Monkey D. Luffy has been consistently linked with the LA Lakers since the collaboration was first announced. Each keychain captures the character in dynamic action poses, showcasing their unique personalities and team affiliations.
