Following the conclusion of the Egghead Arc in December 2025, ONE PIECE entered a brief hiatus before the series resumes with the Elbaph Arc in April. Crunchyroll has confirmed they will begin streaming the Straw Hats newest adventure on Sunday, April 5th, 2026.
Additionally, the remaining English-dubbed episodes (1145-1155) of the Egghead Arc will air on the streaming service starting Tuesday, March 24th, 2026.
The broadcast of the Elbaph Arc sees the series shift into seasonal format with a maximum of 26 episodes a year being aired. Toei Animation previously released ONE PIECE on a weekly schedule, often amounting to 50 episodes annually, give or take a few, to account for other programing changes.
Crunchyroll provided a synopsis of Elbaph Arc in a press release:
After a daring escape from the Future Island Egghead, the Straw Hat Crew set their course for a legendary destination. Joined by the mighty Giant Warrior Pirates, they finally reach Elbaph, the long-awaited Land of Giants.
New encounters with Giants, and long hoped for reunions unfold. A colossal new chapter begins as the crew heads into an adventure unlike anything before, all in the pursuit of the ultimate treasure, the “One Piece!”
