WiT’s The One Piece Reboot Gets New Key Art
While not much was said about WiT Studio’s upcoming One Piece reboot, we did get a look at some key art for the highly-anticipated show, which is set to air sometime in February 2027.
The One Piece is an updated retelling of the original story. Its first season will consist of seven episodes that adapts the first 50 chapters of the manga, up to Luffy’s encounter with Sanji.
It’s meant to provide a more streamlined introduction to the series for beginners, as the original One Piece anime is known for being one of the longest anime series of all time with a gobsmacking 1,174 episodes at the time of writing.
