The arc that will change the ‘One Piece’ anime forever is revealed for the first time in its official trailer
This is a radical change in the way it is broadcast, as it will adopt a seasonal model.
‘One Piece’ is preparing for a 2026 full of changes in its animated adaptation. Eiichiro Oda’s work will completely change the way the anime is broadcast, adapting to current times and the seasonal model already established in the industry. This is an animated series that, since its inception in 1990, has been broadcast almost continuously, but this model is no longer sustainable.
Less is more: ‘One Piece’ is committed to higher quality animation, and the Elbaph arc will mark the start of a new seasonal release schedule, with the intention of airing 26 episodes per year. Elbaph is a moment that has been dreamed of for decades and will soon arrive in the anime, and Jump Festa 2026 was the perfect setting to present its official trailer.
A new way to watch ‘One Piece’ begins in 2026
When will the Elbaph arc premiere in the anime? April 5, 2026, is the date chosen to launch the new One Piece broadcast model. Spring of 2026 will serve as the backdrop for the biggest change in the history of an anime that has been broadcast since the last century and still has much to offer, with a huge legion of fans around the world.
