Do You Need to Watch the One Piece Movies?
One Piece has a total of 15 movies at the time of writing this article. It’s important to note that all One Piece movies are non-canon and do not necessarily need to be watched as they don’t cover any of its core content.
While many of them are simple fan-service that give more screen time to our favorite characters, there are a few highly rated ones. Movies such as One Piece: Film Z, One Piece: Strong World and One Piece: Dead End Adventure have well-written stories of their own, which you may wish to watch. Additionally, special episodes of One Piece, such as the recently released One Piece Fan Letter, embody the themes of the series perfectly. These are also skippable, but you will undoubtedly find them enjoyable. It would even be a nostalgic trip to check them out after completing the series.
Where To Pick Up the Manga After the One Piece Anime?
The most recent episode of the One Piece anime was Episode 1122. It is set in the Egghead Island Arc and features the intense battle between Garp and the Blackbeard Pirates.
To pick up the manga after this, you will want to read from Chapter 1089. The manga has already concluded its events in Egghead Island and has moved on to its next arc, Elbaph.
Is One Piece Currently on Hiatus?
Since One Piece anime is a long-running series and not seasonal, it often takes breaks to maintain its high quality and upkeep the health of its staff.
With the end of episode 1122, it was announced that the series would go on a six-month break and return in April 2025. Since the Egghead Island Arc has continuously offered movie-level animation, it is no surprise that the studio wishes to take a break to ensure there is no dip in quality.
Additionally, the One Piece anime is also very close to catching up to the manga. Since the manga is kicking off a new arc, this break would allow for more source material to be created and give the studio more room to work with.
Where to Watch and Read One Piece?
The entire One Piece manga can be read on the Viz Shonen Jump Website or the Manga PLUS App by SHUEISHA. The anime can be streamed on platforms such as Crunchyroll, Netflix, Hulu and Adult Swim.
Conclusion
Embarking on the One Piece journey can be daunting considering the number of episodes. However, it is a worthy commitment since the franchise will immediately reel you in with its world-building and characters.
