One Piece Episode 1117 Delayed Amid Voice Actor Controversy

Highlights

  • One Piece Episode 1117 delayed due to voice actor controversy, with Sabo’s voice actor being recast.
  • Miyu Irino takes over as Sabo’s voice actor starting from Episode 1116.
  • Episode 1117 expected to air on September 1, 2024, featuring Sabo meeting Dragon and Ivankov.

As a die-hard One Piece fan who has been sailing through this grand adventure since its inception, I must admit that the recent turn of events has sent my compass spinning. The delay of Episode 1117 has left me feeling like Luffy stranded on an island, waiting for his crew to find him!


As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but be captivated by the ongoing journey of the One Piece anime. For years, it’s been keeping my fellow fans and me hooked, week after week, with its unstoppable flow of captivating episodes that never fail to touch our hearts worldwide.

Fans of “One Piece” looking forward to Episode 1117 may find themselves having to practice a bit more patience, since it seems the airing has been postponed – possibly due to a recent scandal involving one of its voice actors.

Instead of airing the One Piece Episode 1117 on August 25, 2024, as initially planned, there will instead be a recap episode shown.

The hold-up might be due to the change in the voice artist for the character Sabo, Toru Furuya. To clarify for those not aware, Furuya relinquished his role following disclosures of his romantic involvement with a fan.

After a report made public in May 2024, Furuya acknowledged his mistake and announced his resignation from the role of Sabo in One Piece, which he had voiced starting from Episode 663 until Episode 1089.

On August 16, 2024, it became known that Miyu Irino would begin portraying the character Sabo from Episode 1116 onwards.

I’m often recognized for lending my voice to some iconic characters, such as Sora from Kingdom Hearts, Shoya Ishida in A Silent Voice, Ritsu Kageyama in Mob Psycho 100, and the mystical Haku in Spirited Away, along with several other memorable roles.

When Will One Piece Episode 1117 Air?
