The cover of the first DVD compilation released by Toei Animation of the fifth season

The fifth season of the One Piece anime series was directed by Kōnosuke Uda and produced by Toei Animation.[1] Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates, but instead of adaptating part of Eiichirō Oda's One Piece manga, it features three completely original, self-contained story arcs. The first five episodes, each following their own plots, form the "Dreams!" (ドリームス!) arc. The next three episodes make up the "Shutsugeki! Zenii Kaizoku Dan" (出撃!ゼニィ海賊団, lit. "Sortie! Zenii Pirates") storyline and focus on the Straw Hats meeting an old moneylender. The last five episodes form the "Niji no Kanata e" (虹の彼方へ, lit. "To the Other Side of the Rainbow") arc and deal with the protagonists getting trapped inside a mysterious, rainbow-colored mist.[2]

The season initially ran from November 3, 2002 through February 2, 2003 on Fuji Television in Japan. The season was then licensed and heavily edited for a dubbed broadcast and DVD release in English by 4Kids Entertainment.[3] Their adaptation ran from August 4, 2007 though September 22, 2007 on Cartoon Network and omitted seven of the season's thirteen episodes.[4] It was the last season to be dubbed by 4Kids Entertainment.[5] Starting with the sixth season, Funimation Entertainment began dubbing new episodes for broadcast on Cartoon Network.[6][7]

Toei Animation released the season to DVD in five compilations, each containing one disc with two or three episodes, between March 3, 2004 and July 7, 2004.[8][9] The 4Kids Entertainment adaptation's DVD releases did not go as far as season five. Funimation Entertainment is in the process of adapting the series for uncut North American DVD releases, but has yet to reach the fifth season.[6][10]

Toei Animation's version makes use of three pieces of theme music: one opening theme and two ending themes. The opening theme is "Hikari E" (ヒカリヘ, lit. "Toward the Light") by The Babystars.[11] The ending themes are "Shining Ray" by Janne Da Arc for the first two episodes and "Free Will" by Ruppina for the rest of the season.[11][12] The 4Kids Entertainment dub uses an original piece of music as both opening and ending theme. The opening features a rap performed by Russell Velasquez.[13]
