2025 was a fantastic year for One Piece fans, highlighted by a truly compelling backstory revealed within the manga. The long-awaited Elbaph Arc began last year, and just before the big fight started, fans finally learned the truth about the God Valley Incident – a mystery that had lingered for over six years! The anime also saw some big changes, including a new release schedule for the first time in over 26 years. Instead of releasing episodes weekly, the series will now have 26 episodes per year to ensure consistently high animation quality. This month will see the end of the exciting Egghead Incident Arc, followed by a three-month break. The anime will then begin the Elbaph Arc in April 2026, sticking to the new schedule.
Fans are also eagerly waiting for Season 2 of the live-action series on Netflix, which is scheduled to come out next year. The trailer has received a lot of positive feedback, increasing excitement for what happens next with the crew in the Grand Line. Besides the new season, there are other projects in the works, like a remake by WIT Studio, that fans are hoping to learn more about. According to a recent update in Weekly Shonen Jump, we can expect more news about these projects in December.
One Piece Will Announce a Super Special Announcement in Jump Festa

The newest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump hinted at a major announcement for the series, which was revealed during Jump Festa. Because Weekly Shonen Jump is sold in Japan, fans quickly shared the news online, particularly through accounts like @WSJ_manga on X. Jump Festa is a huge anime and manga convention that Shueisha has hosted every year since 1999. The two-day event attracts over 100,000 attendees who get to enjoy exclusive announcements about anime, manga, and games, hands-on exhibits, and special merchandise only available at the convention.
Jump Festa is an annual event primarily showcasing titles from Shueisha’s popular magazines, including Weekly Shonen Jump, Jump Square, V Jump, Saikyo Jump, and the Shonen Jump+ online platform. Each December, fans get a ton of exciting news about their favorite series. This year’s event will be held on December 20th and 21st, 2025, and One Piece will close out the show on December 21st from 5:00 PM to 5:50 PM JST with some big reveals. One Piece has been a highlight of Jump Festa for over twenty years, and 2025 promises to be the same.
Jump Festa’s website has revealed which voice actors from the Straw Hat Pirates will be at the event. They’re also hinting at new anime and live-action reveals, so don’t miss it! With the event just around the corner – less than a week away – fans can expect big news not just from One Piece, but from many other popular franchises. Even though the event is in Japan, all the latest updates will be posted on social media by each series’ official accounts.
