One Piece anime will go on a planned two-week hiatus immediately after Episode 1145 airs on September 28, 2025, meaning Episode 1146 (and potentially any subsequent episodes during this period) will be delayed until the series returns on October 19, 2025.
This marks the first back-to-back two-week break since the anime’s six-month hiatus earlier in the year.
This scheduled pause follows the pattern of monthly breaks since the show’s return, allowing the production team time to maintain animation quality during the intense Egghead arc.
One Piece episode 1145 is set to go live on September 28, 2025.
ONE PIECE is a Japanese manga series created by Eiichiro Oda, chronicling the epic journey of Monkey D. Luffy, a spirited young pirate with the power of rubber, as he sails the seas with his crew—the Straw Hat Pirates. Their mission: to find the legendary treasure known as the “One Piece” and crown Luffy as the next Pirate King.
The series has been continuously published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 1997. As of March 2025, it spans 111 collected tankōbon volumes. In the English-speaking world, Viz Media handles the North American and UK releases, while Madman Entertainment distributes the series in Australia.
One Piece has evolved into a massive multimedia franchise. It was first animated in a festival short by Production I.G before being adapted into an ongoing anime series by Toei Animation, which premiered in 1999. Toei has also produced 14 feature-length animated films and a standalone OVA. The franchise has expanded to include a wide range of merchandise, including video games and a trading card game. In 2023, Netflix launched a live-action television adaptation, bringing the world of One Piece to a new generation of fans.
