October 26 Is Going To Be A Big Day For One Piece Fans

by

This article contains spoilers for the One Piece manga.

I’m a huge fan of *One Piece*, and it’s honestly incredible how massive it’s become! It’s been running in Weekly Shonen Jump for nearly three decades now, thanks to Eiichiro Oda, and it’s still going strong. While the story feels better than ever, it hasn’t been without its hiccups. Lately, Oda has needed to take more breaks due to health concerns, and October has been particularly challenging in that respect.

After a significant pause, *One Piece* will resume publishing in *Weekly Shonen Jump* on October 26, 2025, much to the excitement of its fans. Following this return, the release of new chapters is expected to be consistent for the foreseeable future.

One Piece Manga Returns Soon In October

  • One Piece Return Date is October 26
  • The God Valley Flashback Continues

October 2025 proved to be a difficult month for One Piece fans. The anime took a two-week break, and the manga faced unexpected interruptions due to the author, Eiichiro Oda, experiencing health problems. While the manga briefly returned, it quickly went on another break. This was particularly frustrating for fans as the series was building to a thrilling climax with the peak of the God Valley Flashback arc, making October a challenging month for both Oda and his audience.

As a huge fan, I know how frustrating breaks can be when you’re following a weekly series! But the good news is, *One Piece* is coming back soon! Mark your calendars – chapter 1163 is scheduled to drop on October 26th, 2025, and it’ll be the final chapter for that month. I, for one, am so excited to see what Oda-sensei has planned for us!

Will One Piece Go On More Breaks After?

It’s Unlikely That One Piece 1164 Will Be Delayed

Fans are excited about the manga’s return, but there’s worry about Eiichiro Oda’s health and potential future breaks in the release schedule after chapter 1163. While it’s unclear what will happen beyond that chapter, Oda typically only takes a break after every 2-3 chapters, meaning chapters 1164 and 1165 are likely to be released on time without delay.

As a child, I dreamed of creating a manga with an incredibly exciting climax. I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off! Now, after 25 years, we’re nearing the end of the Wano arc and everything is almost ready. You can jump in now if you’re new, because from here on out… it’s going to be the grand adventure of ONE PIECE! I’m going to reveal all the secrets of this world – it’s going to be amazing! Buckle up and please stick with me a little longer! — Eiichiro Oda, Author of One Piece, 2022

The newest chapter of One Piece, Chapter 1163, will be released in two weeks on Sunday, October 26th. While it becomes available in Japan at midnight on Monday, most international fans will be able to read it starting October 26th. You can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
