Followers who’ve been late to the One Piece occasion and have been saving the animated films for a wet day might have to chew the bullet and hunt them down on Netflix earlier than the top of the month, when they are going to be misplaced at sea – or faraway from the platform in much less seafaring phrases.
Whereas Netflix appears to be the go-to place to get your repair of the prolonged adventures of the One Piece, together with tons of of animated episodes and the crowd-pleasing live-action sequence primarily based on the franchise, a small bundle of One Piece films and TV specials—One Piece: Coronary heart of Gold (2016), One Piece Movie: Gold (2016), One Piece Episode of East Blue – Luffy and His 4 Crewmates’ Nice Journey (2017), and One Piece Episode of Skypiea (2018)— at the moment are about to sink beneath the waves because the streaming rotates content material for an additional month.
The 4 titles occupy an attention-grabbing nook of the franchise, and one which many more moderen followers have maybe not develop into conscious of but. Coronary heart of Gold is a made-for-TV caper that tees up Movie: Gold, whereas the 2 “Episode of” entries are feature-length retellings that condense early arcs into virtually seamless catch-ups – one thing that these wanting a crash course in One Piece would be glad about in a franchise that comes with quite a lot of baggage.
One piece (sorry) of excellent information is these aren’t vanishing into the Calm Belt completely, so long as you might be prepared to go by yourself mini-adventure to hunt them out. Crunchyroll has been increasing its One Piece movie library and the “Episode of” specials and different feature-length choices are already on their roster.
Netflix Appears Absolutely Invested in ‘One Piece’

Monkey and his rag-tag One Piece-seeking pirate crew.
There’s nonetheless loads of One Piece content material to maintain everybody blissful on Netflix, and in addition to Season 2 of the live-action sequence, a 3rd season has already been given the inexperienced mild. Whereas it’s a little laborious to imagine that the live-action arm will attain the identical quantity of episodes as its unique sequence, so long as the present continues to attract in new recruits and make waves on the streaming charts, then Netflix will probably be behind its continuation.
Though One Piece Season 2 has but to get an actual launch date, the present is anticipated to set sail once more early in 2026. Nonetheless, these with Netflix subscriptions who need to try the gathering about to be reduce free might have to clear up a day of their schedules for a binge within the subsequent week or so earlier than they drift off in direction of the horizon – or Crunchyroll as additionally it is recognized.
