One Piece in Brazil

==Manga==
===2002–2011: First publication and cancellation===
One Piece began to be published in Brazil in February 2002 by Conrad Editora, at a time when it still had only 22 volumes published in Japan. The publisher decided to release the manga in a half-tankōbon format (meio-tanko, in Brazilian Portuguese) in which each Japanese volume would become two editions in Brazil.
Despite this, publication of One Piece continued normally until October 2007, when it reached issue 66 (equivalent to the original volume 33). The manga series was then suspended due to contract renewal issues with Shueisha. However, in 2008, 8 issues were released during the year, reaching issue 70 (equivalent to the original volume 35). The manga did not return to publication afterward.
In May 2011, publisher Conrad made official the cancellation of One Piece. Everything indicates that it was a unilateral cancellation on the part of Shueisha, as in a statement the Brazilian company said that the Japanese company had “demands that were impossible to be satisfied”.
===2012–present: Current publication and commercial success ===
Despite the cancellation of the manga series in its first foray into the Brazilian market, it didn't take long for another publisher to announce the acquisition of the title. At the end of 2011, Panini Comics announced that it had acquired the publishing rights to One Piece.
The republication of the manga began in 2012 under the original tankōbon format and the publisher used a strategy in which it would release volume 1 monthly for new readers and simultaneously volume 36, bimonthly, for those who already followed Conrad's publication and wanted to continue reading the story. The new publisher's idea was for one version to meet the other later and become one. This never actually happened, as the bimonthly publication was eventually interrupted with virtually no complaints.
Due to the success of the republication of One Piece, Panini began releasing databooks starting with the volumes One Piece Red: Grand Characters and One Piece Blue in 2014, followed by One Piece Yellow in 2016, One Piece Green in 2018, and One Piece Blue Deep in 2019. From March 2022, Panini publishes the Brazilian edition equivalent to 'Omnibus' monthly, called 'One Piece 3 em 1'.

===History of dubbing===
In Brazil, the series has been distributed by Toei Animation Inc. since 2005, the year in which it ended its partnership with its former subsidiary in Latin America, Cloverway Inc. and began to handle its licenses on its own. Given the ease and costs, Toei, in one of its most commercially controversial decisions since it began operating directly in Latin America, chose to work the version edited and censored by 4Kids Entertainment instead of the original Japanese product in the region. The dubbing began in 2005 at the DPN Santos studio in São Paulo, until the anime premiered on Cartoon Network Brasil the following year and a short time later on SBT with said dubbing, which had been directed by Vagner Fagundes and continues in the cast himself. as the protagonist Monkey D. Luffy.
The Brazilian distributor Playarte even released this dubbed version on DVD in 2008, accompanied by an uncut subtitled version. This release reached episode 31 and was later cancelled. On television, the dubbed series was shown until episode 52 (equivalent to 84 in the Japanese version) and then canceled in 2009.
In mid-2012, Toei Animation Inc. was studying how to relaunch the anime in the country, thanks to the relaunch of the manga by Panini Comics, which was a great commercial success, giving the brand survival. However, such a relaunch did not happen at that time.
Parallel to all this, in 2014 Crunchyroll began showing the series in simulcast on its streaming service, however, only with subtitles and no Brazilian Portuguese dubbing present.
Years later, in 2018, it was announced by Daniel Castañeda, licensing director at Toei Animation in Latin America that there were concrete plans to redub the series in Brazilian Portuguese for a relaunch, and shortly after, the Brazilian dubbing of One Piece returned after a long hiatus, but this time by the UniDub studio for relaunch in new media, which would mainly include streaming services such as Netflix, HBO Max, Claro Video, and Crunchyroll itself, among others, some time later.
Not only did new episodes start to be dubbed, but old episodes received new dubbing, using the original Japanese version as a basis, without cuts or censorship. The voices of the main characters in the DPN Santos cast were called and subjected to new tests that were requested by Toei itself, competing with new voices that were mostly approved by the client, which resulted in a renewed cast. Monkey D. Luffy would now be voiced by Carol Valença instead of Vagner Fagundes, in addition to numerous other cast changes. Interestingly, many voice actors from the first version (like Vagner himself) would return playing other characters in the second.
