One Piece Special Edited Version First Episode Delayed

The first episode of the special edited version of the One Piece anime has been delayed. The episode was originally set to air on October 27, 2024, and it will instead debut a week later on November 3.

The reason for the special edited One Piece anime episode delay is due to the conflicting schedules of the original release date of the anime episode and the MLB World Series both coinciding on October 27, 2024. Toei Animation announced back in October 12, 2024 that the Fish-Man Island arc of the One Piece anime series would receive a special edited version. The objective of this re-release is to touch up some of the scenes in the anime to increase the visuals and animation quality using the latest technology.

While the Fish-Man Island arc of the One Piece anime is being slightly updated, this is not to be confused with The One Piece anime remake announced by Netflix back in December 2023. While we know when the special edited version of the current One Piece anime will air, The One Piece anime remake is currently in production without a release date announced.

The One Piece anime is streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix and the manga is handled by Viz Media outside Japan. Meanwhile, the live-action One Piece adaptation is available on Netflix.
