One Piece fans will have to wait a bit longer for the next Egghead Arc episode. Toei Animation has confirmed that the anime will take a short break on November 23, airing a Chopper-centric recap episode instead.

The pause aligns with Japan’s Labor Thanksgiving Day holiday, offering production staff a brief rest before continuing with Egghead’s high-stakes developments.

This special will revisit Chopper and Vegapunk’s intertwined stories, adding emotional depth while giving audiences a breather ahead of the arc’s next phase. Despite the delay, One Piece remains a cultural phenomenon, with Eiichiro Oda’s manga exploring the monumental God Valley arc and Netflix’s live-action series expanding its global reach.
The Grand Line voyage may pause briefly, but excitement for One Piece’s next episode remains unstoppable.
