While starting with the Egghead Arc can be a fun experience, we recommend starting One Piece from the beginning. Although it's long, it's a comedy, drama, and action-packed journey that's well worth your time.
In 2023, One Piece has reached unprecedented levels of popularity thanks to the success of Film: Red, the Live-Action series, and the continuously trending Wano adaptation. So much success has helped increase public interest in the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy. Netflix has begun streaming the latest One Piece anime season, and series creator Eiichiro Oda says first-time viewers can skip ahead to enjoy the first part of the Final Saga series.
In a 2022 statement translated by X user and popular fan NewWorldArtur, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda celebrated the end of Wano and the beginning of the series' Final Saga; he said, “Though that's perfectly fine if you read from here on out. After all… from here on we will arrive at (the) ONE PIECE!!” Although Oda has worked hard to create One Piece for over 25 years, he believes that new fans can start at the beginning of the Final Saga and still be able to enjoy the story.
One Piece Creator Encourages New Fans to Start with Egghead
The Egghead Island Arc has Episode #1086 of the Anime & Chapter #1058 of the Manga
Oda originally referred to the manga when he suggested that new fans could “read from here on out.” However, now that the One Piece anime has officially begun its first part of the Final Saga, the talented author’s suggestion also applies to the Egghead Island arc of the anime. While there will be plenty of settings, characters, and abilities that will confuse new fans, The direction and character writing mimics the One Piece anime creating an enjoyable viewing experience without having to watch the previous 1088 episodes..
Netflix will release the latest episode of the One Piece anime a week after it becomes available on Crunchyroll.
Netflix has been providing subscribers with One Piece anime for the past few years by releasing multiple seasons of the pirate epic over time. However, The Fishman Island arc will be the latest arc added to Netflix's US servers on July 1, 2024.until episode #574. Viewers who watched the series exclusively on Netflix may be confused when the story moves to episode #1089, the first episode of the Egghead arc, which is extremely well-directed. However, over time, Netflix will definitely add missing episodes of the anime that cover events after One Piece's incredible timeline.
Why did Netflix switch to Egghead Island?
Streaming licenses make watching long-running series a lot more complicated
Series creator Eiichiro Oda and the companies that control the rights to the franchise decide how One Piece can be sold and have been responsible for the series since its inception. Shueisha is the Japanese manga publisher, while Toei Animation produces the One Piece anime. The decisions of those companies make One Piece what it is today. Ultimately, they have to negotiate fees and licenses, determines which streamers can show which episodes. However, the license will expire, leaving it up to the streamer to renew, most likely at a new price, which could lead to more negotiations.
The modern age of streaming entertainment has brought with it a whole new set of complex legal and licensing systems that have allowed streaming giants like Netflix and Crunchyroll to have exclusive rights to show series like One Piece to their audiences. While Netflix recently decided to support the One Piece franchise, Crunchyroll (and the late Funimation streaming service) have been streaming the long-running series since 2009.
It may have taken a lot of negotiating time and a significant amount of money, but Netflix has steadily increased the number of One Piece anime episodes available on its streaming platform. However, Toei's One Piece series has been airing since 1999, and with Netflix only giving it the attention it deserves in the past few years, it has a lot more catching up to do than the platforms that already support it This series is much longer. However, skipping the sequel and including newer episodes from the Egghead Island arc would certainly increase the overall excitement of the more current One Piece content.
Why Netflix Missed So Many One Piece Anime Episodes
The streaming giant has yet to add most of the post-skip One Piece seasons to its catalog
With the franchise growing in popularity, Toei may be asking Netflix to make more money for more recent episodes, which may explain why it added individual seasons instead of all episodes of the series movie. It's also possible that previous licenses or contracts with platforms like Crunchyroll prohibit certain parts from appearing on other streamers until a specific date. That way, fans will have fewer options on where they can watch newer One Piece episodes.
Although Netflix now has a lot of anime series to enjoy, especially for new fans who want to see more of Luffy's adventures after enjoying the One Piece Live-Action series, the series is still lacking. many episodes. The first piece of One Piece post-production skip content, the Fish-Man Island arc, will eventually be available on Netflix, with episodes #499 – #556 arriving on July 1, 2024. However, The streaming giant continues to add sequels from time to time, it probably will take some time before every episode of the One Piece anime is available on Netflix.
One Piece's Final Saga Was Good Enough to Skip Ahead
Viewers may get lost in the new episodes, but it's still enjoyable
Starting the One Piece anime from the Egghead arc is an option for first-time viewers.but they'll certainly have a lot of questions. If new fans watch the newer episodes and like what they experience, they'll likely go back and catch up on what they missed. Even without the full context, though, the Egghead arc proves that Eiichiro Oda is only improving his storytelling skills. The final story of A piece would be a marvel to behold, even if the viewer misses much of the story.
