Portgas D. Ace is gone. But his presence in the hearts of One Piece fans remains undiminished—and the merch market confirms it. Years after Marineford, Ace merchandise continues to be sold, given as gifts, and displayed. The death of a beloved character often creates lasting demand for merch—and Ace is probably the strongest example of this dynamic in the manga universe.
This guide covers the entire range of Ace merch—from figurines and T-shirts to ASCE temporary tattoos and flame bracelets. For those who never forget.
🎨 Ace's Visual Identity
Ace has a unique visual identity in One Piece: a bare torso with the ASCE tattoo on his back and tribal tattoos on his arm, the orange cowboy hat, the open orange jacket, and of course the flames of the Mera Mera no Mi. This “fire + adventure + freedom” aesthetic translates extraordinarily well into merchandise.
Two elements consistently appear in Ace merch: the crossed-out “S” from the ASCE tattoo (a tribute to Sabo, his missing brother) and the orange flame. These are the two visual codes that immediately identify an Ace product even without a portrait of the character.
🗿 Ace Figurines: Tribute Pieces
Flame figurine — battle stance
The Ace figurine in a battle stance with the flames of the Mera Mera no Mi is the benchmark piece. Depicting the flames is a technical challenge for manufacturers—the best figurines use translucent orange plastic that catches the light and simulates a fiery effect. Versions with LED lighting built into the base take this effect to the next level.
The "Final Smile" Figure—Marineford
Some manufacturers have depicted Ace in his final pose at Marineford—with a grateful smile and half-closed eyes. It is an emotionally charged piece, highly sought after by fans who experienced this arc as it aired. It is rarer and more expensive, but represents Ace the human being, not just the warrior.
The "Brothers" Figure—Ace and Luffy
Dioramas depicting Ace and Luffy together—whether during their years in Fuchsia Village or in a scene fighting side by side—are among the most emotionally powerful One Piece pieces on the market. This type of two-character figure costs more but has no equal in terms of narrative impact.
🔥 Clothing: Flames and ASCE
Ace T-shirt
The best-selling Ace T-shirt is the one reproducing the ASCE tattoo on the back—typically a black or white T-shirt with the tattoo lettering on the back and a subtle flame motif on the chest. This design works both as fan clothing and as a general streetwear piece. A non-fan can wear it without knowing the reference—and a fan will recognize it immediately.
Ace Hoodie and Sweatshirt
The burnt-orange Ace hoodie is his signature garment. The color is taken directly from the character's outfit and the flames of his Devil Fruit. Designs with flame embroidery on the sleeve or back are particularly sought after. Wearing a fire-colored hoodie in autumn or winter is also symbolically meaningful for an Ace fan.
The ASCE Temporary Tattoo
Temporary tattoos reproducing Ace's ASCE arm tattoo are a very popular accessory, especially at conventions and anime events. They make cosplaying Ace very simple—bare-chested (or wearing a tank top) and with the ASCE tattoo are enough to be instantly recognizable.
💎 Ace Accessories and Jewelry
Ace bracelets with red and black beads are among the most popular One Piece accessories — they reference the character's "fire and night" aesthetic and can be worn every day without loudly advertising their source. Worn with a simple black T-shirt, they create a cohesive and stylish look.
The life-size Ace cowboy hat is a highly sought-after cosplay accessory — the piece that completes an Ace costume simply and effectively. Ace flame keychains are also very popular as a discreet accessory and a subtle way to show community belonging.
