With 2024 around the corner, it is becoming increasingly evident that the coming new year is shaping up to be the year of One Piece. Here's all that you nakamma's have to look forward to.
The announcement of a new remake of the beloved manga for Netflix by WIT Studio, the creative force behind popular anime like Attack on Titan and Spy x Family, has stirred considerable excitement among fans.
This remake, titled The One Piece, is set to cover the same story told in Eiichiro Oda's iconic manga, commencing with the iconic East Blue saga of the aspiring pirate king, Monkey D Luffy, and his Strawhat crew.
Netflix's commitment to the One Piece universe is further underscored by the success of its live-action One Piece TV series, which has already been renewed for a second season that we may probably expect a teaser from next year as well. The initial season, debuting over the summer, received critical acclaim and garnered a massive audience.
Meanwhile, Oda is set to premiere a new anime series titled Monsters 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation on Netflix in January 2024. This series explores the story of Zoro’s ancestor, Ryuma, a samurai entangled in a world disrupted by an ominous force - a dragon capable of unleashing catastrophic destruction upon the land.
The manga has had an incredible year in 2023, with the Netflix series gaining global popularity, the anime adapting long-awaited events, and the Egghead arc providing thrilling revelations.
The anticipation for 2024 is palpable, with Oda hinting at the possibility of an equally, if not more, exciting year for the manga.
Moreover, Oda's announcement at Jump Festa 2024 about a major fight in the upcoming year has heightened expectations.
Fans eagerly await the anime adaptation of the Egghead arc, set to begin in January 2024, with new opening and ending themes performed by “We Are!” legend, Hiroshi Kitadani, and Maki Otsuki, respectively.
As the series approaches its 25th anniversary in 2024, Oda has teased fantastic projects in store for the celebration, promising that both Toei and Shueisha have something special planned.
With the convergence of new adaptations, major revelations, and the milestone anniversary, 2024 is indeed poised to be a monumental year for One Piece enthusiasts worldwide.
