Why One Piece Shifted to a Seasonal Release Model

2026 marks the first time in One Piece's 26-year history that the anime has moved from a continuous year-round schedule to a seasonal release model .

• Official announcement: Toei Animation producer Ryūta Koike confirmed in October 2025 that the series would cap at a maximum of 26 episodes per year, split into two cours .
• Reason: The change is intended to improve animation quality, pacing, and reduce production strain after decades of weekly output .
• Format: The series took a three-month production break from January to March 2026, returned on April 5 with the Elbaph Arc, and will continue with two cours per year going forward .
• Note: While originally planned as split cours with a gap, the first two cours aired back-to-back consecutively in 2026 . Future years are expected to follow the same two-cour capped model.
