Grand Battle Rush cranks the energy up. Faster action, snappier presentation and gorgeous cel-shaded looks make it the highlight of the Grand Battle line, especially with a friend on the pad.

A 2D fighter by Ganbarion and Bandai released in 2005 (Japan, Korea), the fourth and final entry in the One Piece Grand Battle branch. A formula overhaul with free 3D arenas but combat still in 2D, and a huge roster from the Skypiea and Davy Back Fight arcs. A late, Asia exclusive release.

One Piece - Grand Battle! Rush (PS2) price, value & rarity
Korean edition of Ganbarion's fourth and last Grand Battle, the close of this 2D fighting line liked by fans. The Japanese version is common, but this Korean pressing, run in small numbers, is its rarest variant. Interest centres on One Piece and 2D-versus collectors after the Korean editions, value resting on the regional scarcity of an otherwise solid entry.
Is One Piece - Grand Battle! Rush still worth playing in 2026?
An arena fighting game from the One Piece licence, the Grand Battle series gathers Luffy's crew and many manga characters in snappy multiplayer bouts, in destructible settings faithful to Oda's world. The fidelity to the characters, the spectacular signature attacks and the multiplayer fun make it a likeable party fighter for fans. The mechanics stay simple and the reach beyond the initiated audience is limited. A festive fighting game to recommend for One Piece fans and accessible brawling among friends.
