It is time to grab some Devil Fruit and set sail because The One Piece is only a few months away. That's right: the new anime from Netflix is almost here, and it will tell a fresh version of Monkey D. Luffy's quest to become King of the Pirates.
However, if you are a longtime fan of the rubber-limbed captain, you may be wondering what The One Piece really is and how it affects the other One Piece series (aka one of the best anime of all time) as well. After all, the first One Piece anime has been around since 1999 and is still ongoing. Then, on top of Netflix's new The One Piece series, the streaming service also has a live-action version of the iconic show, just to make life a little more complicated when it comes to keeping track of all the pirate-related shenanigans on the platform.
Basically, the wacky world of One Piece is pretty convoluted right now, which is why I've put together a handy guide here. Below, I answer all your questions about The One Piece as well as explain what it is and how it affects all the other One Piece shows currently airing. So, if you are ready to join the Straw Hat crew and get your bearings, read on, folks.
The One Piece is a brand new reboot of Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece that will be released sometime in February 2027 on the streaming service Netflix. That means it won't be a one-to-one remake of the other, ongoing One Piece anime, which is over 1000 episodes at this point.
WIT Studio (from Spy x Family and Attack on Titan fame) is helming the upcoming anime, and president and CEO of the studio, George Wada, has made it clear that the choice to make The One Piece a reboot is that, from a modern audience perspective, the sprawling story of the manga can now be told in a more structured way.
"The original manga has advanced much further than it had when the TV anime first began," Wada stated in an interview with Mantan Web . "And today we have a much clearer understanding of later developments and of the characters themselves. From that modern perspective, we're rebuilding it again from Episode 1... We are taking on a reboot, not a remake."
It should also be noted that The One Piece will not be replacing the original series but instead is serving as a separate adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga. So if you are still keeping up with the Elbaph arc release schedule, don't worry, that series isn't being abandoned. The One Piece is simply a new option for fans to experience the story from scratch, and probably avoid the pretty long list of One Piece filler episodes, and some multi-episode fight scenes that (let's be honest) can drag down pacing quite a bit.
