Netflix has taken the One Piece community by surprise with an unexpected announcement that “Egghead” arc, the latest arc in the series, is set to premiere on the streaming platform starting January 13, 2024.
This exciting revelation was shared by Netflix on X (formerly Twitter), just a few days after its release of the “Marineford” arc, causing a wave of enthusiasm among fans.
Check out the official announcement for more details.
With Crunchyroll also securing the rights to One Piece, fans can expect a simultaneous release on both platforms. Many are expecting that Crunchyroll is likely to have the simulcast, offering episodes right after their Japanese release, while Netflix will stream each episode a week later.
The Egghead arc started on January 7, 2024, with Episode 1089, featuring new opening and ending theme songs. Following the intense confrontations concluding in Wano, the latest arc propels the Straw Hat Pirates into a new and eagerly awaited adventure. As they set sail, their nautical journey brings them to the enigmatic shores of Egghead, a futuristic island that houses the laboratory of none other than Dr. Vegapunk.
