Primary
The film explores disillusionment with established authority and the dangers of extremist solutions, but ultimately champions individual moral action and the prevention of widespread destruction without advocating for a specific political ideology or systemic reform.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, consistent with its source material, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on adventure and does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, nor does it center on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Nico Robin, who uses her Devil Fruit ability to engage in and win physical confrontations against multiple male opponents. Her victories involve direct physical incapacitation through grappling and restraint.
One Piece Film Z does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story primarily focuses on the Straw Hat Pirates' adventure and conflict with Zephyr, without exploring queer identities or relationships in any capacity.

The film features established characters from the One Piece manga and anime, who are depicted consistently with their original designs. New characters introduced in the film are original to this installment and thus do not constitute a race swap from prior canon.
