Go Tokyo Your Experience
Recently, there has been a lot of news about ‘One Piece’, but let’s first talk about some of the latest developments! The official announcement is that the “One Piece” animation will be temporarily suspended for up to six months starting from October, and it is expected that the new chapter “Egg Head Island” will not be aired until April next year.
In order to fill this gap, the official will release a remastered version of “Fishman Island” and special content for the 25th anniversary.
Why did One Piece choose to pause for a period of time? According to online reports, the progress of the ongoing anime has almost caught up with the manga version. Manga authors can also arrange breaks, but animation production is in full swing. In order to ensure a reasonable interval between the progress of the two versions and improve the quality of animation production, it is undoubtedly wise to temporarily stop.
Not only do the production team and Professor Oda need to catch their breath, but fans may also need some rest time, after all, the “Land of Peace” battle has just ended and is very exciting. The author revealed that the next “Future Island Egg Headline” will be the final chapter, where all the truth and ultimate enemies will be revealed. Therefore, charging up the production team at this moment may allow us to see animation performances that are closer to the level of Japanese theatrical versions in the next time.
The episode ‘Egg Head Island’ is scheduled to air in April 2025.
Since the “Egg Head Island” article is temporarily put on hold, what should fans do during this period? Fans of “One Piece” can relax first, and on October 27th, the official will release a remastered version of the “Fisherman’s Island” chapter. This special redesign adopts the latest technology to optimize the visual and lighting quality, which is more in line with the style of recent animations. The content has been condensed from the original 57 episodes to 21 episodes, which can be considered a quite innovative presentation.

In addition, the theme song of the remastered version of “Fishman Island” is still sung by the Straw Hat group as “We Go!”, while the ending song is sung by the Japanese boy group BE: FIRST as “Sailing”.
On October 20th of this week, we will be the first to release a special episode titled ‘One Piece’s Fan Letter’ for the 25th anniversary.
I hope the above special content can give everyone a deeper understanding of the pause of ‘One Piece’, and look forward to a more exciting comeback next year!
