One Piece fans puzzled by new Netflix announcement
CrunchyrollNetflix’s latest announcement on One Piece anime has puzzled fans more than ever. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s happening.
One Piece anime has recently debuted the Egghead arc of the Final Saga. The franchise is at the height of its popularity, which only continues to increase. Crunchyroll has always been the biggest streaming platform for anime. However, following the live-action’s massive success, Netflix is paying more attention to Eiichiro Oda’s classic Shonen manga.
The second season of live-action is currently in production, along with an anime remake that will feature the East Blue Saga. Wit Studio will be responsible for remaking the anime, which will be available exclusively on Netflix.
Furthermore, the Monsters anime adaptation of one of Oda’s one-shots is also coming to Netflix this month which is directed by Sunghoo Park. It’s based on Ryuma’s story from 400 years ago. With so many ongoing One Piece projects, Netflix announced more major news that has perplexed fans.
Which Netflix announcement puzzled One Piece fans?
After the Egghead arc debut, the official account of Netflix anime posted, “On an island with technology and science beyond comprehension, what deep secrets will the Straw Hat Crew uncover in Egghead? One Piece: Egghead Arc is coming to Netflix, January 13!”
The streaming giant will add new episodes every week in several countries. However, what’s surprising is that Netflix in many territories doesn’t include all the previous episodes. However, Netflix USA has the episodes till the Marineford arc.
As such, fans are confused over Netflix’s decision to suddenly include the series from Episode 1089 while not adding the hundreds of episodes from before. Netflix will add the episodes weekly starting from the Egghead arc. While a lot of fans are excited and looking forward to it, several others are posting memes and their opinions about it.
One of the popular posts on Twitter shares a GIF featuring Jujutsu Kaisen’s Jogo experiencing Gojo’s Domain Expansion, with a note, “The One Piece Anime Netflix watchers who are still on Sabaody starting up a single episode of Egghead by mistake.”
The notion behind using the GIF is that anime watchers would feel confused by the vast number of episodes missing in between. Another fan posted: “People watching the anime Sabaody on Netflix and out of nowhere the next episode arrives in Egg Head and comes face to face with these characters here, they will be sure that it is the continuation lol.”
One user commented: “Netflix heard people saying that one piece starts at egg head and took it seriously.”
