Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is a legendary series. The manga started all the way back in 1997, and the anime followed suit just a bit later, in 1999. For over 2 decades since then, the One Piece anime by Toei Animation has been dropping new episodes almost every week without a miss. This, however, is changing.
One Piece: Oda Finally Reveals Why Dragon Left the Marines
Monkey D. Dragon is a mysterious character, but Oda finally reveals why he left the Marines in One Piece.
Following the 6-month break that began in late 2024 to April 2025, it’s now been confirmed that One Piece will be going on long breaks often, or in other words, One Piece is basically going seasonal. This is unfortunate, especially as fans want to see the Elbaf arc kickstart. In the meantime, fans can instead turn their attention towards another exciting Shonen series, and that’s Jujustu Kaisen. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is airing in January 2026, and it’s the perfect replacement for One Piece until its return.
