During the AnimeJapan 2025 event, it was announced that the One Piece anime will resume its Egghead Arc on April 5 with a special recap episode, followed by episode 1,123, the first new episode since the show took a break. This recap will help fans catch up on the story before the new episodes begin.
The anime's timeslot is also changing. Episode 1,124 will air on April 6 at 11:15 p.m. JST (10:15 a.m. EDT), marking the show's move to a later time on Sunday nights. Fans can also look forward to a fresh opening theme song by GRe4N BOYZ and a new ending theme by muque.
Koisuru One Piece Gets a Net Anime
In addition to the main series update, the Koisuru One Piece spinoff manga is getting a short anime series! These episodes will be released daily from April 1-5 on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok at 8:00 p.m. JST (7:00 a.m. EDT).
Koisuru One Piece is a gag manga that imagines high school students with the same names as the Straw Hat Pirates. The anime will feature Ryōsuke Kanemoto as Luffy Yamamoto, Ayane Sakura as Nami Koyama, and Yūichi Nakamura as Usopp Nakatsugawa.
Beyond the anime, One Piece is also collaborating with the German soccer club Borussia Dortmund on March 30. Plus, a new One Piece Base Shop will open in Shinjuku in winter 2025, giving fans a new place to buy exclusive One Piece merchandise.
Additionally, the One Piece Day event will return in early August, where fans can expect special celebrations, announcements, and exclusive content.
Why Did the Anime Take a Break?
The One Piece anime paused its Egghead Arc in October 2024 to give the animation team time to improve the quality of upcoming episodes. During the break, the show aired One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga, a remastered version of the Fish-Man Island Arc with updated visuals and animation.
Another major change is that Franky’s voice actor is changing, with Subaru Kimura taking over the role.
Now that One Piece is back with new episodes and exciting projects, fans have a lot to look forward to in 2025!
