The One Piece: Red movie was a really interesting addition to the overall story of One Piece and a worthwhile addition to the series. And even though the movie isn't considered canon, the characters that appeared in it were made canon, and in this article, we're going to – once again – talk about Uta, the main character of the movie, and Shanks' adopted daughter. In light of the recent revelations about the manga, Uta's past is once again in the spotlight, and we can now explain if there is a connection between Uta and the recently created Figarland family, which was initially mentioned in the One Piece: Red movie.

As far as is known, Uta is not directly related to the Figarland Family from One Piece. The initial idea of ​​a connection between them came from a comment made in the film by the Five Elders, who theorized that Uta might be a member of the Figarland family due to her relationship with Shanks, but this suggests that they were unaware that Uta was actually Shanks' adopted daughter. Shanks may be related to the Figarland family in some way, but this has not been confirmed.

The rest of this article will focus more on Uta and her background, particularly the true nature of her relationship with Shanks and her family history, all in light of the manga's most recent revelations. You'll learn some details about her, her history, and her importance in the world of One Piece. We'll give you some known biographical details about her and answer some questions related to her role in the story, focusing primarily on her relationship with Shanks and both of their connections to the Figarland family.

As far as is known, Uta is not related to the Figarland family.

Uta is a world-renowned diva and a major character in One Piece Film: Red. All One Piece fans are already aware of this information. She is the daughter of the Pirate Emperor Shanks. Uta wants Luffy to stop pirating for some reason. The excellent singer Uta is said to transport listeners to multiple dimensions. It is uncertain whether a Devil Fruit is responsible for this power. She has gained worldwide recognition and fame thanks to her vocal prowess, becoming a well-known diva and drawing large crowds to her appearances.

Now, Uta's past has been discussed a lot, and for some time now, fans have been discussing several things related to her and her role in the story. The most important is her relationship with Shanks and the nature of her relationship, as she was introduced as simply Shanks' daughter without further details. Fortunately, the film has provided us with enough information to give you a definitive answer about Uta's past.

According to the tale, Uta was born in an unnamed village 19 years before the present timeline. When Uta was two years old, pirates attacked the area where she was born. In addition to pillaging the area, the pirates slaughtered Uta's parents and kidnapped the little girl, taking her with them.

They came across Shank's Red Hair Pirates out at sea, who assaulted them and stole their treasure. Shanks discovered the joyously grinning two-year-old Uta inside one of the chests. After reflecting on his own past, Shanks decided to adopt Uta as his daughter and take her along on all of his travels and experiences. Seeing this encounter as fate, Shanks cheerfully took her in because he could not find her family and didn't even know they had been dead.

As you can see, Uta is not Shanks' biological daughter, which means that whatever family Shanks belongs to, Uta is not part of that family; she is, technically, since Shanks adopted her, but she does have her own biological family (whether Oda plans to reveal more details about them is a mystery at this time).

Shanks's backstory, on the other hand, is also a mystery, but according to the most recent manga spoilers, we are heading towards a big reveal related to Shanks, his family, and his backstory, as Shanks seems to be a world noble.

Namely, if you remember the movie, the Five Elders mentioned that Uta might be a member of the Figarland family due to her connection (relationship) to Shanks. It was a brief moment in the movie but very important in light of the most recent revelations. It also tells us two things.

Come see

First of all, the Five Elders probably didn't know that Uta was Shanks' adopted daughter and not his biological daughter (they might have known which families were raided in the raid in which Uta was kidnapped, but that wouldn't really imply a familial relationship with Shanks per se). Secondly, it implies that Shanks is somehow related to the Figarland family.

How and why? Well, if Shanks wasn't related to the Figarland family, the Five Old Guys wouldn't have mentioned him in the first place. You know what, the Five Old Guys always know more than anyone else, including the readers, so the fact that they mention Shanks in connection with the Figarland family means he's probably related to them and is a member of the Figarland family, as we recently speculated. The most recent previews for manga chapter 1086 also suggest this, implying that Shanks's family will finally be revealed.

As for Uta, all this means is that she will be an adopted member of the Figarland family if all these facts prove true. She is not biologically related to them, since Shanks only adopted her, but she is a member of the family now that Shanks considers her his daughter. The implications of this fact may prove irrelevant in the future, but now you at least know what her relationship is to this enigmatic family of the series.
