As a long-time One Piece fan and witness to the Straw Hat Pirates’ countless adventures, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming remastered version of the Fish-Man Island Saga! The hiatus has been a tough pill to swallow, but Toei Animation’s decision to revisit this epic saga with enhanced visuals, soundtrack, and pacing is simply music to my ears.


During a prolonged break for the One Piece anime, Toei plans to air a refreshed version of the Fish-Man Island Arc instead.

The One Piece anime hiatus has shocked fans across the world, but Toei Animation has another plan to keep fans entertained. We’re getting a remastered version of the Fish-Man Island Saga, the first saga after the time-skip.

As the team neared the New World, the latter part of the Grand Line, their journey was disrupted when Kuma intervened, causing them to split up. Meanwhile, Luffy found himself taken captive by the Marines, facing imminent execution.

Initially, he embarked on a journey to rescue him, only to discover during his attempts that he lacked the strength to shield those close to him. After devoting himself to rigorous training for a period of two years, he was ultimately able to rejoin him.

The anime is preparing to delve back into its saga with improved visuals, music, and tempo. Therefore, take a look at all the information regarding this updated version.

Excitedly, I share the news that the long-awaited return of One Piece anime has been scheduled for April 2025! After a brief pause, we’ll finally dive back into the thrilling Egghead Incident Arc. During this period, fans can savor an enhanced version of one of the series’ most significant arcs as we eagerly count down the days until its resumption.

One Piece Fish-Man Island’s remake will adapt the saga in 21 episodes.

The Fish-Man Island Saga, split into two parts – the “Return to Sabaody” and “Fish-Man Island” arcs – spans across a total of 56 manga chapters. However, when adapted into anime format, it expands to 58 episodes, resulting in a noticeably leisurely pace.

The revised edition promises enhanced animation quality, streamlined storytelling due to the omission of unnecessary anime sequences, as well as a reworked opening and closing themes, plus an upgraded soundtrack for an overall improved listening experience.
