One Piece is seeing some big changes in the near future. There are details that a majority of fans will particularly like.
After the disappointments, the good news from both sides continues One piece ! The wait for the anime's return isn't over yet, but we finally know when exactly it will return to our screens. There will also be some changes at the meeting. Will fans like it? We'll explain it all to you.
Metamorphosis of a Mugiwara behind the scenes
A major event for manga and anime fans took place last weekend. We're obviously thinking about it Jump Festa 2025a major event for the flagship licenses of recent years. On this occasion, studios and publishers often make big announcements about their works. For example, we had news about the third season of Chainsaw Man or for the next film Jujutsu Kaisen.
One piece didn't miss the event of the year. The Jump Festa was the ideal time to announce the return date of the anime sequel, which will take place in April 2025. But one detail should change! You may already know that a behind-the-scenes look will soon see a revival of an iconic character in the series. It's about the withdrawal of actor Kazuki Yao, who gives up the role of Franky to make room for a new voice.
During the Jump Festa, the replacement for the famous Seiyu was introduced to the public. It's about Subaru Kimura ! He is also not unknown to the Japanese public. As a dubbed actor and rapper, he has excelled in several major licenses. For example, he is Papa Mbaye Siki in Kuroko's basket or Satori Tendō in Haikyuu. But outside of sports anime, the public knows him as Takeshi “Gian” Goda Doraemon or Aoi Todo in JJK.
This is therefore a promising change for the role of Frankiethe robot of the Straw Hat crew in One piece. However, no detail was revealed. We don't yet know if Kimura will be heard when the Egghead arc airs again next year or if we'll have to wait a few episodes before we find out.
One Piece will let go?
Fans of the anime will notice a second change. A habit will actually develop when it is resumed. This is the broadcast time of One piece ! The Egghead arc will begin later than before. From now on, The series will air on screens in Japan at 11:15 p.m (i.e. 3:15 p.m. in mainland France). It therefore shifts from late afternoon to evening, which could be important for the content.
In fact, this schedule change could mean that there would be less censorship in the anime. This would be a good sign in particular for the treatment ofHistory of Kumawhich those who read the manga already know. We'll have to wait to see the new episodes of One piece to clarify. However, we are hopeful!
