  • One Piece manga has sold over 500 million copies, the anime has over a thousand episodes, and a live action is doing well.

As a hardcore One Piece fan who’s been sailing through Grand Line since its debut, I can tell you that this upcoming announcement has me as excited as Luffy when he spots a rare Mirage Fruit. With the series being one of the pillars of my manga and anime life, any news related to it is always something I eagerly await.

One Piece stands among the world’s largest and most beloved anime series, drawing a substantial audience every week. Needless to say, followers eagerly anticipate significant updates concerning this iconic show.

On October 12th (Saturday), the verified account for One Piece (previously Twitter) shared a hint about major updates coming to both the anime and manga series. As per the post, the official revelation is scheduled during the One Piece News Show, which will be presented by Hiroyuki Nakano, the chief editor of One Piece media. The broadcast for this announcement will occur at 9:30 PM (Japan Standard Time).

What Could The Announcement Be About?

Currently, there’s no specific detail about the upcoming announcement other than it has connections with both the One Piece anime series and manga. The ongoing storyline in the anime is centered around the Egghead arc, which initiates the Final Saga. Tomorrow, a new episode will air, concluding the thrilling confrontation between Monkey D. Garp and Kuzan. Post this battle, the anime will resume on Vegapunk’s island where the Straw Hat Pirates are engaged in a desperate struggle for survival.

There’s a chance one of the announcements may concern Kazuki Yao, the voice actor for Franky who has been unwell and had to step down from his role as Djano in a recent episode. It’s possible that this could mean he might temporarily give up his role as Franky too until he recovers. Alternatively, the announcement might be about a new anime project led by Megumi Ishitani, a renowned director, which could also be the focus of the news.

Instead of focusing on Elbaf, the giant’s land, the manga is currently dedicated to at this time. A limited number of chapters have been published so far, making it challenging to predict its course. Fortunately, fans won’t have to ponder for long as the announcement about it is scheduled for tomorrow.

One Piece Has Produced Insane Numbers

Since 1997, the One Piece manga has been consistently published in Weekly Shonen Jump. To date, it has produced more than 100 volumes, with that number possibly growing even larger. With over 500 million copies sold, One Piece holds the title as the highest-selling manga series ever.

Since 1999, the anime adaptation of One Piece has been on TV, created by Toei Animation. With over a thousand episodes out, it’s no wonder people love this series so much. And because of its immense popularity, several new projects have been planned. Among them, the One Piece Live Action project stands out as one of the most anticipated. Even though many live-action adaptations often fall short of expectations, the One Piece live action exceeded all predictions. As a result, it’s not surprising that it has been given the green light for two more seasons.

The One Piece anime is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
