A trailer for the continuation of the series was released today on the “One Piece” X account. You can find the video below.
Starting in April 2026
The anime adaptation of “One Piece” returns to Japanese television on April 5, 2026 after a three-month break with the “Elban Arc” (Elbaph Arc). From now on, however, only a maximum of 26 episodes will be published per year.
The studio Toei Animation remains responsible for the production of the new episodes. The opening song of the next section of the story is entitled “Luminous” and comes from AiNA THE END (ending song from “The Apothecary Diaries”). The ending song “Sono Mirai” is contributed by 36km/h.
The streaming services Crunchyroll and ADN will show the “Elban Arc” in simulcast shortly after the Japanese TV premiere with German subtitles, while the release on Netflix will not begin until a week later, on April 11, 2026.
