The One Piece franchise has a lot to offer to new fans.
Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece is shaping up to be their most successful project yet, topping charts in over 80 countries after only a few days. If you’re one of the newly converted fans, you have a wealth of content to explore: One Piece has been around for a while, with thousands of episodes and dozens of narrative arcs up to date. As the show has not been renewed for a new season yet, you can always turn to anime and manga to fill the void.
If you want to explore the anime, the Netflix show covers the story up until episode 45. However, episodes 45-47 are fillers, meaning they are not relevant to the main plot of One Piece, so feel free to skip ahead to episode 48.
According to the fans of the anime, the Netflix adaptation strays from the original in multiple ways, so it might be hard to just pick it up from where the TV show left off. For those who want to fully immerse themselves into the world of One Piece as it was originally intended, it is recommended to start from the very beginning.
The anime’s episode count currently sits at 1,074, so watching it from the start might sound like an intimidating undertaking. But fear not: One Pace is here to help you.
One Pace is a fan project that aims to create an abridged, edited version of the anime by cutting down all the filler, recaps, unnecessary flashbacks, etc. Basically, if it’s not in the original manga by Eiichiro Oda, it gets edited out. This alternative option tightens up the pacing, cuts the fluff, and reduces the total screen time by quite a few hours.
Speaking of the manga: if you want to turn to the source material, Netflix’s TV series adapts One Piece up until chapter 95, so you can pick it up from chapter 96. The total number of chapters is over a thousand, with a new one consistently coming out every week.
If you’re wondering when One Piece will wrap things up, your guess is as good as ours. The last time Oda was asked this question, he revealed that he expects the series to end sometime around 2024 or 25. So don’t worry, you have plenty of time to catch up on the pirate epic without getting the grand finale spoiled.
