How To Watch One Piece In Order

---

Even though it debuted in the 1990s, One Piece remains among the most widely watched anime series in history, with new episodes being produced and written as recently as 2017.

 

Since its premiere in 1999, the series has produced over nine hundred episodes, Fifteen feature films, Eight animated shorts/videos, and Seventeen television specials. They are all produced as if they are in the same world as the anime but include stories unrelated to the main plot.

 

If you’re still getting familiar with the anime One Piece and want to rewatch the entire series from the beginning, you may be wondering what order to watch the episodes in. This is the recommended viewing sequence for the entirety of One Piece.

Seasonal Filler Episodes of One Piece

Here we will provide you with every one of the filler storyline episodes and describe their purpose. The choice to view them subsequently rests solely with you. They don’t add much to the overall viewing of the One Piece manga, but they’re entertaining enough.

 

Episodes 54 to 61: The Warship Island- The first filler episode in One Piece’s history, this arc is not based on the One Piece anime. The filler arc has two significant flaws in the plot. 

 

Even though Zoro doesn’t learn how to cut steal until “Alabasta Arc,” we see him doing it throughout this episode. In this section, the crew also has an encounter with dragons. On the other hand, Punk Hazard characters react as if they’ve never seen a dragon before.

 

The Post-Alabasta Arc (Episodes 131 to 135)- This is a  filler arc consisting of five episodes that provide background and motivation for various members of the Straw Hat Pirates. There isn’t a solo episode for either Luffy or Robin.

 

On Goat Island (Episodes 136 to 138), Straw Hat Pirates help an older man named Zenny hide from marines.

 

Ruluka Island (episodes 139 to 143)- Unlike the manga, the Going Merry isn’t rebuilt after being swiftly destroyed by Ape’s Concert. 

 

The crew then dispatches the Straw Hats to Ruluka for the final repairs to the ship. After the “Alabasta Arc” in the anime, Hina attacks the Going Merry, severely injuring it.

 

G-8 (Episodes 196 to 206)-The longest filler arc in the series consists of 11 episodes. However, because of the compelling antagonist, this filler arc is sometimes considered the best in the One Piece series. If the duration doesn’t bother you, give this one a shot.

 

Ocean’s Dream Arc (Episodes 220 to 224)- is based on the PlayStation game of the same name based on the One Piece manga. The video game-inspired story arcs have ended.

 

Foxy Is Back (Episodes 225 to 226) – Our heroes face the Foxy pirates again during this storyline.

 

Lovely Land or Ice Hunter (Episodes 326 to 335)-The Accino Family, a band of bounty hunters, are the antagonists of this arc, which takes place on a frozen island.

 

Spa Island (Episodes 382 to 384)- features the Foxy pirates as the principal adversaries.

 

The Little East Blue arc (Episodes 426 to 429)- comes before the One Piece movie Strong World. Check this out if watching the film is something you’re considering.

 

Z’s Ambition (Episodes 575 to 578) – This arc includes a movie tie-in, as Little East Blue did. It’s the film “One Piece Movie: Z” that I’m referring to.

 

Ceasar Retrieval (Episodes 626 to 628)- a strange person with unique talents abducts Ceasar Clown out of Thousand Sunny.

 

Silver Mine (Episodes 747 to 750) – The heroes make their way out of Silver Mine in this arc, which additionally serves as the prologue to “One Piece Movie: Gold.” 

 

Marine Rookie storyline (Episodes 780 to 782)- Luffy and his crew make their second attempt to infiltrate a Navy base. This is a continuation of the G-8 arc.

 

Groupe Cidre Guide (Episodes 895 to 896) – The filler arc has the lowest number of episodes out of the series, clocking in at just two. Furthermore, this unique storyline ties in with the One Piece film Stampede.

 

Uta’s Past (Episodes 1029 to 1030) The filler arc lasts the same length as the Cidre guild storyline, with just two episodes. Similarly, it relates to One Piece Film: Red and focuses on the bond between Uta and Shanks.

 

Part 3 of the Wano Country Arc (Episodes 1031–1057)- has the Straw Hats and Luffy continuing their adventures in the Wano region.

One Piece Filler Episodes Per Episode

We’ve shown you entire filler plot arcs from One Piece, and they’re very fantastic, but what of the individual episodes? You can safely skip them because they serve no purpose in the recommended viewing order for One Piece and are only average at best. Look at these examples:

 

• Usopp vs. Daddy The Father in Episode 50! Battle at noon!

When Considering This Context, Where Does One Piece on Netflix Fall?

In Jan 2020, Netflix made a shocking announcement. They plan to introduce Oda’s massive manga masterpiece into a live series for their streaming service. 

 

Since then, the production has been delayed due to a combination of factors, including a worldwide pandemic and production issues with Netflix’s existing live-action manga adaptations (in particular, Cowboy Bebop). 

 

Besides knowing most of the cast and having a preview poster, the only other information we have about Netflix streaming One Piece is that it will premiere in 2023.

How Will Netflix’s One Piece Anime Work With the Original Series While Being Filed as a Live-Action?

We can’t say for sure. Since the main characters begin to develop in the East Blue Saga, that’s where the adaptation will begin.

 

 However, that is over 60 episodes, so we anticipate the Netflix live-action series to be heavily edited to fit within the 10 to 12 episodes format. Since Oda doesn’t seem heavily involved, the One Piece series on Netflix can be safely disregarded as canon.

Where Can I Find Streams of One Piece?

The rights to stream One Piece, arguably the most successful anime ever, are worth more than a pirate’s fortune. Buying the episodes on DVD is an option, but streaming them is the most cost-effective in the long run.

 

In most countries, you can watch One Piece episodes on Crunchyroll shortly after they air in Japan, with full English subtitles. 

 

However, since Crunchyroll and Funimation merged in 2022, the dub versions are no longer available online. Once any legal roadblocks are cleared, we anticipate they will be made available on the Crunchyroll platform.

When Will We See More of One Piece?

One Piece may have no end, but every story has a conclusion. The anime series has entered its concluding saga, as hinted at by Eiichiro Oda on multiple occasions. 

 

At the December 2022 Jump Fiesta, he added that the festival would end “at its own suitable time,” meaning that no hasty measures would be taken. With over a thousand chapters already out, Luffy’s journey to pirate royalty could still take years.

FAQs

At What Point in the Series “One Piece” Should You Begin Watching?

There’s no better place to jump into One Piece than with the first volume or episode 1. You’ll understand everything in the proper sequence. You will experience the Straw Hats evolving and growing both personally and together.

Can You Watch the One Piece Films in Any Order?

There is no official “canon” film in the series. None of them have anything to do with the manga’s plot. Strong World may be unique, but the actual event isn’t. You won’t have stories ruined, and you may watch the shows.

 

New cast members or events joining the anime before the adaptation (as in the Heart of Gold film) are the only ways the viewing experience might be “spoilt.”

 

Even though it doesn’t matter which sequence you watch them in, you should start at the beginning if you don’t want to ruin your experience by not understanding the characters.

How to Stream a Single Episode Without Skipping Around.

While most fans want to see each and each episode, some would rather cut out the fluff and go right to the action. Before deciding, weighing the pros and cons of watching the entire One Piece series or just a few episodes is essential.

 

No one will blame you if you decide not to watch a filler episode. They typically don’t have much of an impact on the finale of the narrative or critical characters. There is no need to watch or listen to any of the individual stories if you don’t want to.

 

Therefore, it is OK to skip the unnecessary episodes. However, unlike most anime, a few, if not all, of the filler episodes in One Piece are worth watching. 

 

Currently, 103 out of the 981 episodes airing are just fillers. With an average episode length of 20 minutes, our filler list for One Piece totals a whopping 34 hours!

To Finish One Piece, How Long Will It Take?

The average running time of a One Piece episode is twenty-four minutes. For this analysis, we will use a longer time frame. Over 1022 episodes have been watched on television by the end of June 2022. Where does it leave us?

 

There are 1022 episodes, each clocking in at 24 minutes, giving you 24,528 mins of content. It would take about 409 hours, approximately 17 days and less than an hour, to finish the entire series in a single sitting. (I wish you the best with that!)

Is There a Reason That One Piece Is So Lengthy?

Since it’s a weekly manga, its lifespan is limited only by its popularity and the number of readers interested. The manga’s author, Eiichiir Oda, can take all his time to finish his book and tell every narrative he wants to know since the series’ popularity continues to rise over time, not only within Japan but abroad.

 

An additional factor is the sheer length of Oda’s pirate epic. Thankfully, the manga’s success means that Oda can finish his plot and put out all his ideas. He has imagined an extraordinarily lengthy and huge storyline that incorporates various adventures.

When Will One Piece Be Over?

The answer, of course, is conditional on your definition of “soon.” Yes, it might end soon if Oda began his narrative in ’97, and it has been ongoing for 26 years. However, a few years will pass before that “soon” arrives, so it is not as close as you may believe.

 

Even though Oda claimed in 2018, he believed he had completed 80 per cent of his narrative, there was still plenty of room for alternate takes. 

 

He has often addressed how One Piece will finish, saying he has a finale, the original and intended ending, and plans to follow through. However, he might alter it based on widespread speculation.

 

We have plenty of time to soak up Luffy’s exploits in anime and manga media since he predicted in an interview in 2019 that the series may end by 2025 or 2024.

 

Oda remarked, “There’s no intention to wrap up the narrative anytime soon. Please be calm in 2022. It was the Final Arc, so there should be many fresh episodes.
