One Piece Returns With The Highly Anticipated Elbaph Arc This April
Fans of the legendary series One Piece have reason to celebrate as the anime returns on April 5, 2026, with the highly anticipated Elbaph Arc.
Under this format, the series will release 26 episodes annually, aiming to deliver higher animation quality and a tighter, more faithful adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s source material.
The Elbaph Arc, beginning with Episode 1156, follows the Straw Hat Pirates as they finally reach the fabled homeland of the giants.
However, their long-awaited arrival is quickly complicated by the arrival of the World Government's elite God Knights.
With a new director, Wataru Matsumi, leading the project and an exciting opening theme by AiNA THE END, the series enters a fresh chapter.
Viewers can watch the show via Crunchyroll starting April 5, or catch the weekly stream on Netflix beginning April 11.
