Crossover caps to be given away in latest team-up between Los Angeles baseball club and hit anime<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this month, Luffy and the rest of the One Piece<\/em> Straw Hat Pirates sailed across the ocean<\/a> for a special fan night at Dodger Stadium<\/strong> in Los Angeles<\/strong>. The Major League Baseball team\u2019s summer of anime fun isn\u2019t over yet, though, as they\u2019re getting ready for a special crossover with another of the biggest names in the anime\/manga world, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u3010 #\u30c9\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u30b9<\/a> \u3011\u5bbf\u6575\u3068\u306e\u5bfe\u6c7a\u300e\u7121\u9650\u57ce\u7de8 \u7b2c\u4e00\u7ae0 \u7317\u7aa9\u5ea7\u518d\u6765\u300f\u304c\u73fe\u5728\u4e0a\u6620\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u300e\u9b3c\u6ec5\u306e\u5203\u300f\u3068\u306e\u30b3\u30e9\u30dc\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3001\u30c9\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u30b9\u306f8\u670815\u65e5\uff08\u65e5\u672c\u6642\u959316\u65e5\uff09\u306e\u8a66\u5408\u3067\u9b3c\u6ec5\u516c\u5f0f\u9650\u5b9a\u30ad\u30e3\u30c3\u30d7\u3092\u6765\u5834\u8005\u306b\u914d\u5e03\u3057\u307e\u3059 \u2014 MLB Japan (@MLBJapan) July 29, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The event will take place before, during, and after the Dodgers game on August 15 against the San Diego Padres<\/strong>, whose rivalry with the Los Angeles team has been growing more intense in recent years as they\u2019ve clashed in competition for their division championship and gone head-to-head in the playoffs. In addition to pre-game Demon Slayer<\/em> festivities, there will also be a Demon Slayer<\/em>-themed ceremonial first pitch, in-game promotions, and a post-game drone show hyping Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba\u2013The Movie: Infinity Castle<\/strong>, the latest theatrical feature in the anime franchise which started showing in Japanese theaters earlier this month and will make its North American debut in September. The official Japanese-language MLB Twitter account also says that limited-edition caps featuring the Dodgers\u2019 LA logo and Demon Slayer<\/em> protagonist Tanjiro, plus the distinctive checkerboard pattern of his coat across the hat\u2019s brim, will be given out to fans at the stadium<\/strong>, though with no details currently available as to quantities and conditions.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t all that long ago that conventional wisdom would have said there wasn\u2019t sufficient enough crossover between the anime fan and pro sports fan demographics to do an event like this. With anime continuing to grow more and more popular around the world, though, the Dodgers\u2019 chief marketing officer Lon Rosen recognizes that \u201cWithout a doubt, there is an intersection between the two fan bases, and we look forward to celebrating that mutual fandom with what is sure to be an exciting night at Dodger Stadium.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that Los Angeles sports teams have had very good results in games with anime tie-ins. Not only did the Dodgers win their One Piece<\/em> game at the start of the month (with pitcher Clayton Kershaw reaching the 3,000-strikeout milestone on the night), anime promotions<\/a> also coincided<\/a> with wins for the city\u2019s Rams and Lakers professional football and basketball teams, and the Dodgers performed well in their games that featured a visit from Pikachu<\/a> and the Sailor Moon<\/em> theme song<\/a> too.<\/p>\n Source: MLB<\/a>, Twitter\/@MLBJapan<\/a> via Anime News Network\/Ken Iikura-Gross<\/a><\/em> Crossover caps to be given away in latest team-up between Los Angeles baseball club and hit anime.
