If you’re a fan of One Piece, April 2025 is going to be a month you’ll remember for a long time. After a long break, the anime is finally returning with brand-new episodes. And it’s not just any return — this is the start of one of the most exciting arcs in One Piece history.
In October 2024, the anime went on a break for the first time in decades. This was done to make sure the animation quality stays high for the episodes coming up. While the reason made sense, it still left fans waiting eagerly for new content.
Now, that wait is finally over. With the return of the anime, major events from the Egghead Arc are about to be adapted. Not just that, even the English dub has caught up — which makes April an amazing time for One Piece lovers around the world.
One Piece Anime Returns with Egghead Arc’s Best Moments
The biggest reason fans are excited is the anime’s return with the second half of the Egghead Arc. This arc is full of emotional backstories, major battles, and shocking reveals.
For starters, Kuma’s tragic backstory will finally be shown. This is something fans have waited years to see animated, and it’s going to be powerful.
Then there’s the highly awaited Luffy vs Kizaru fight. This battle has been teased in the trailers and the latest anime opening, and it’s being set up as one of the best fights not just in this arc — but in the entire series.
But it doesn’t stop there.
The climax of the Egghead Arc is where things get even more intense. You’ll see:
The arrival of the Five Elders in their terrifying true forms.
Kuma landing a massive punch on Saint Saturn, which will be an emotional moment.
A global speech from Vegapunk, where many secrets are revealed and fan-favourite characters make surprise appearances.
Simply put, the end of the Egghead Arc is packed with major events, and watching them animated will be a treat for every fan.
English Dub Finally Catches Up – A Big Win for Dub Fans
It’s not just the Japanese version making a comeback — April 2025 is also huge for the English dub community.
Recently, it was announced that the English dub has finally caught up with the Japanese version. The latest batch of dubbed episodes dropped on Crunchyroll on March 18, and this is the first time in over a decade that the dub is in sync with the original anime.
What’s more exciting? With both versions now aligned, there’s a chance we might get a simuldub — meaning fans can watch the dubbed version shortly after the Japanese episode airs.
Even though simuldub hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, just the fact that it’s possible is a big deal. Whether it happens or not, One Piece fans now have more ways than ever to enjoy the anime.
Why April 2025 Is the Perfect Time to Be a One Piece Fan
Between the return of the anime, the upcoming high-quality episodes from the Egghead Arc, and the English dub finally being caught up, April 2025 might be the best month to be a One Piece fan.
Whether you’re a long-time follower or a new viewer just jumping in, there’s so much to look forward to. One Piece is stepping into a new phase of storytelling — and it’s going to be bold, emotional, and unforgettable.
