The anime is going quiet for the rest of the year, despite what fans want.
Episode 1180 aired on Sept. 27 on Fuji TV, and it was the last new episode fans will get in 2026.
The series’ official social accounts confirmed that episode 1181 will not arrive until next year, thanking viewers and asking them to wait for further details.
“Thank you for watching the final episode of the ONE PIECE TV anime this year,” the post read. “The next episode will air in 2027! Please stay tuned for further details on the broadcast schedule.”
The timing stings because episode 1180 closed on a cliffhanger inside the Elbaph arc, the run that launched April 5 as season 22.
Fuji TV is not leaving the slot empty. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus takes over Sundays at 11:15 p.m. starting October 11.
The break is the second stretch of downtime built into a schedule that Toei Animation and producer Ryuta Koike laid out in October 2025. Beginning this year, the anime is capped at 26 episodes annually, a shift that followed a three-month hiatus from January to March.
Next year, Wit Studio’s THE ONE PIECE lands on Netflix in February with all seven episodes of its first season dropping at once, One Piece Film: God Valley opens in Japan next summer, and season 3 of the live-action series arrives with Xolo Maridueña joining as Portgas D. Ace.
