In this broadcast, we break down why the One Piece anime going seasonal in 2026 isn’t a bold experiment — it’s a long overdue correction.
We look at why the Elbaf Arc benefits more than any other from this format shift, how Toei could structure the two 2026 cours, and what this tells us about where the anime is heading as the Final Saga begins.

This One Piece anime prediction tackles common criticisms about One Piece pacing, particularly in arcs like Fishman Island and Punk Hazard, where the “one piece anime” often felt like a “slow anime.” We discuss how the upcoming seasonal format for the Elbaf Arc in 2026 isn’t just overdue but essential to fix the story pacing. This change addresses concerns about rushed anime and promises a more focused narrative experience.
