One Piece Anime Break April 2025 Comeback Explained; Everything We Know So Far

As a dedicated One Piece fan who has been sailing this grand adventure since its inception, I must say that the latest announcements have left me nothing but thrilled! The temporary hiatus might seem daunting, but the promise of a revisited Fish-Man Island arc with updated visuals and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack is enough to keep me on the edge of my seat.


The popular anime series One Piece is taking a brief pause, but don’t worry, the Egghead Arc will pick up again in April 2025. This short hiatus gives the production crew a chance to rejuvenate before they continue spinning the tale. Rest assured, One Piece enthusiasts, there are exciting things on the horizon even during this break!

From October 27, 2024, I’ll be privileged to witness the airing of a meticulously edited version of the Fish-Man Island arc, known as One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga. This condensed 21-episode series boasts revamped visuals with re-shot scenes, improved color grading, lighting, and spectacular special effects. To enhance fan enjoyment, it will also come with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack for a more immersive experience. Each episode will air weekly until we delve back into the Egghead Arc next year.

On October 20, 2024, there will be a special episode of One Piece called “One Piece Fan Letter.” This episode is inspired by the short story collection “Mugiwara Stories,” written by Tomohito Ōsaki, and it’s one of the events marking the 25th anniversary of the One Piece anime.

To add excitement, the music for the special edited episodes will include a new version of the iconic “We Go!” opening theme song, now sung by secret “special guests” called the Mugiwara no Ichimi (Straw Hat Pirates). The boy band BE:FIRST, who are self-professed fans of the series, will also contribute a new ending theme titled Sailing.

At the same time as these unique episodes aired, the One Piece Base mobile application was unveiled on October 13, 2024. This app offers fans worldwide access to manga and other franchise content. In 2025, the app will be distributed globally, offering more opportunities for One Piece fans everywhere to interact with their beloved series.

The newest movie from the One Piece franchise, titled “One Piece Film Red,” is still a hit when it comes to box office success. Debuting in August 2022, the film earned over 20.33 billion yen (approximately US$137 million) in Japan, placing it among the top six highest-grossing films ever there. Moreover, it holds the record as the franchise’s most profitable movie, underscoring the enormous popularity of One Piece.

During this short break in the anime, viewers get a chance to savor the revised Fish-Man Island arc and exclusive anniversary content, with the primary plot resuming in April 2025.
