One Piece will end a 27-year tradition in 2026

It’s the end of an era for ongoing anime, as Toei Animation announces a new production schedule for One Piece, which has been an ongoing series for a quarter-century, spanning over a dozen filler arcs in the process. Starting in January, after the Egghead Island arc wraps up, the anime will be going on a three-month break until April, when the Elbaph arc will begin.
