Following the Toei hack, which also affected other popular programmes like Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, Delicious Party, and others, the official Twitter account for the One Piece anime stated that the 1,014th episode will air. As a result of the Toei Animation security incident earlier this month, the animation has been put on hold for six weeks. Recap episodes have begun airing to fill in the gaps left by the anime’s normal time slot, with the Wano Country Best Selection recap episode set to air this Sunday to bring the series’ regular time slot to a close. One Piece’s official Twitter account stated on April 7 that the show will continue on April 17.
One Piece would also be one of the first Toei productions to air after the disaster. The Wano Country Arc, the most recent arc on the programme, has been running for more than a year. Toei’s admission of unauthorised third-party access to their corporate database, which resulted in the firm’s system being suspended, caused the release of various anime created by the business to be postponed or cancelled. Despite the apparent good news, the matter looks to be under investigation. In addition to One Piece, the hack impacted the release dates of Delicious Party Precure, Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai, and Digimon Ghost Game, among other games.
Aside from that, the breach hampered the release of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, an anime feature. Before the hack, the sixth episode of Delicious Party Precure was supposed to run on March 13, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was compelled to air episode 4 on March 13. Hugtti, the anime! Precure Futari wa Precure All Stars Memories was supposed to premiere on TV Asahi on March 23 and 27, as well as on April 3, however, due to the hack, the show had to air one episode in three parts on March 23 and 27, as well as April 3.
Toei’s announcement also had an influence on Fuji TV, which was forced to air the first episode of Digimon Ghost Game as a result of the disclosure. The One Piece manga is published in English by VIZ Media, and the most current volume, volume 96, was released in early April. The anime’s North American airing rights are owned by Crunchyroll LLC.
