The announcement, made during Anime Japan in Tokyo, confirms that fans across North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Latin America will get front-row seats to the action. Kicking things off on April 5, audiences will be treated to Episode 1123 and the Egghead Arc recap, followed by Episode 1124 the very next day, ensuring a weekend packed with high-stakes adventure.
When it comes to the Egghead Arc, there’s plenty to catch up on. The Straw Hats’ arrival at the futuristic Egghead Island set off a chain reaction of events that could alter the course of history.
With the world teetering on the brink of war and the World Government’s dark secrets unraveling, Luffy and his crew find themselves entangled in a conflict that goes beyond their usual treasure-seeking escapades. The enigmatic Dr. Vegapunk, whose laboratory holds answers to some of the series’ deepest mysteries, including the true nature of Devil Fruits, becomes the center of an all-out global crisis when assassins are sent to eliminate him.
The first part of the Egghead Arc has already delivered 34 electrifying episodes, and the adventure is far from over.
As the story moves forward, the stakes reach new heights. With Vegapunk now an unexpected ally, the Straw Hats find themselves in a desperate struggle to protect both the scientist and the people of Egghead Island from the wrath of the World Government.
Luffy will have no choice but to clash with some of the most formidable enemies he’s ever faced, including the fearsome Admiral Kizaru and wiith the Marines closing in, what unfolds next could send shockwaves across the One Piece world. Also let’s not forget, this arc is just the beginning of the anime’s “Final Saga.” Though the finish line is still a few years away, series creator Eiichiro Oda continues to steer the legendary tale toward its long-awaited conclusion, with predictions placing the manga’s grand finale somewhere around 2027 or 2028, with the anime following soon after.
Get Ready To Sail Again
Crunchyroll will be the exclusive destination for the premiere weekend, giving fans the first look at the new episodes and the recap special as they air on Fuji TV. However, as the arc progresses, Netflix will also be offering the episodes, making them available to a wider audience. The streaming giant, which is already home to One Piece’s live-action adaptation, recently wrapped production on the show’s second season, further solidifying its place in the franchise’s ever-growing universe.
While it remains unclear whether the episodes will be simulcast or arrive on a slight delay, one thing is certain – April marks the return of one of anime’s most significant and lore-heavy arcs in its 25-year history.
