The One Piece anime has captivated global audiences for over two decades, and its English dub has played a significant role in its international success. The English dub journey began in the mid-2000s with 4Kids Entertainment, which produced a heavily edited version that altered much of the original story, leading to mixed reception. In 2007, Funimation took over, starting from the first episode to deliver a more faithful adaptation that honored Eiichiro Oda’s vision. After Sony’s acquisition of Funimation and its merger with Crunchyroll, the same dedicated cast and crew continued to bring the Strawhat Pirates’ adventures to English-speaking fans, maintaining consistency and quality across hundreds of episodes.
At San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2025, Crunchyroll announced the release of eleven new English-dubbed episodes from the Egghead Island arc, set to premiere on August 12, 2025, for viewers in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. These episodes, numbered 1123 to 1133, mark the first new dubbed content following a six-month hiatus in the One Piece anime, during which a re-edited Fishman Island arc was aired to enhance pacing.
Produced by Toei Animation, this batch continues the Strawhat Pirates’ intense battles against the Marines on Egghead Island, alongside their alliance with the brilliant scientist Dr. Vegapunk and his unique “Satellites.” The episodes also delve into the emotional backstories of Bartholomew Kuma, a former Warlord of the Sea, and Jewelry Bonney, with Kuma’s story of suffering, resilience, and fatherhood standing out as a narrative highlight. While these episodes do not complete Kuma’s backstory, they set the stage for further developments in the arc.
