Fans of One Piece won’t have to wait much longer for new episodes! Crunchyroll has announced that the anime will return this spring, picking up with the highly anticipated Elbaph arc. The series left viewers on a cliffhanger after the Egghead Arc last year, and with a new release schedule, everyone is excited to see what happens next in Eiichiro Oda’s epic story.
The highly anticipated One Piece: Elbaph Arc is coming back this April, and now Crunchyroll has announced it will be available for streaming in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America starting April 5th. With a confirmed streaming platform, fans can now prepare for the anime’s return this spring.
What to Know for One Piece: Elbaph Arc
The next big story arc in One Piece, called Elbaph, will debut in Japan on April 5th. Fans in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America will also be able to watch it. English dubs of the current arc, Egghead, will start appearing later in March. While a release date for the English dub of Elbaph hasn’t been announced yet, these new episodes mark an exciting new chapter for the anime’s production.
The team behind the anime One Piece is making a big change to how they release episodes. Instead of new episodes every week, they’re switching to a seasonal schedule with 26 episodes per year. This new approach aims to match the pacing of the original manga by Eiichiro Oda. It remains to be seen how this will affect the overall series.
What Is the Elbaph Arc About?
Crunchyroll has given fans a first look at what’s coming in the Elbaph arc of One Piece. The Straw Hat Crew, after narrowly escaping Future Island Egghead, are headed to the legendary Land of Giants. There, they’ll team up with the Giant Warrior Pirates and experience new encounters and long-awaited reunions. This marks the beginning of a huge new adventure as the crew continues their quest for the ultimate treasure, the ‘One Piece’!
The upcoming One Piece: Elbaph Arc promises to finally address storylines that have been hinted at throughout the anime for many years. With the release date now confirmed on Crunchyroll, fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the new episodes.
