And that's not all: after this explosive launch, One Piece will return <its weekly airing rhythm with a new episode every Sunday on Crunchyroll, ADN, and Netflix.
A necessary break for an even more beautiful anime
If One Piece paused its adventures since October 14, 2024, it was for a very special reason: to improve the quality and pacing of the animation. For over 25 years, the anime has maintained an almost uninterrupted weekly airing schedule, a feat that sometimes affected its production. Toei Animation has decided to take its time to optimize every detail and provide viewers with an even more immersive experience.
To keep fans excited, the studio has also launched a remastered version of the Fish-Man Island arc on October 27, 2024. This revamp has managed to reduce the number of episodes by a third while providing smoother animation and revamped sound effects. A welcome update to revisit this iconic arc in a fresh light!
In short, the wait is finally coming to an end, and the return of One Piece is shaping up to be explosive! Are you ready to set sail and embark on an adventure with Luffy and his crew? And speaking of great comebacks... don’t rush to buy a Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 is coming soon! We’ll explain why here.
