One Piece Anime will be on Break till April 2025

The One Piece anime has recently made huge announcements. Firstly, Toei Animation has declared that the anime will be going on break for a while. However, fans needn’t be so bummed, as the creators have gone to great lengths to bring us special episodes for the hiatus duration.

Since the One Piece anime has made these two announcements, this article will go into detail on the hiatus and the new TV special.

One Piece Anime To Go On Hiatus

On the 13th of October, Toei Animation announced that the anime would be going on a six-month-long hiatus till April 2025. Episode 1122 has already aired, making it the last episode until the hiatus ends. Egghead Arc Part 2 will start airing in April 2025.

This lengthy hiatus period has a valid reason though. The anime will be going on a break to gear up for the new arc, so we can expect the anime to be back with a bang. This may be quite irksome for fans, but it is an essential break that ensures that we fans will get premium quality content.

In the announcement video on YouTube by Toei Animation, it was declared that the anime will be going on a “charging period” until the second part of the Egghead arc will begin airing.

This series will be a special edited version of the Fish-Man Island arc in the anime. It’ll be a touch-up version with better visuals, new soundtracks, and other improvements. Furthermore, the anime will be receiving a new time slot as well!

Since the original Fish-Man arc was 58 episodes long, this new special will be condensed to 21 episodes. Regardless, we can still expect this series to keep us going until the 6-month Hiatus ends. So, fans, gear up as this arc is going to be quite the banger! Here’s a sneak peek:

One thing that is very clear is that all the characters got a glow-up in comparison to the original Fish-Man arc, especially Zoro and Nami!

Episode 1122 Recap

The episode starts with Pizzaro unleashing his attack on the Marine’s ship. Since the attack was devastating enough to kill everyone in the vicinity, Vice-Admiral Garp decided to make an opening for Koby to destroy Pizzaro’s hand.

After this, Garp ordered his crew to evacuate and took it upon himself to buy time for his crew to flee. The episode concluded with a really emotional visual of Garp getting stabbed through the chest and a sign that said, “To be continued.”

About One Piece

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
