Henry Thurlow, who is part of the One Piece anime workers at Toei Animation, thinks that 2023 would be the greatest 12 months for the One Piece anime in its 25-year historical past.

He thinks each anime-only viewers and manga readers can be pleased this 12 months.

Here is his tweet:

2023 is arguably gonna be one of the best 12 months for the ONE PIECE anime in its 25 12 months historical past.
From anime-only viewers questioning how Wano will finish … to manga readers desperately ready to see THAT scene tailored (or THAT one or THAT different one…) followers will get all of it in 2023.

What will occur in 2023?

It has been three and a half years since Wano began, and at last, in 2023, the Wano arc will finish within the One Piece anime. Wano is the longest arc within the anime, and followers have been ready for its conclusion for a while now.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR ANIME-ONLY WATCHERS AHEAD

I believe the explanation each Henry and I believe that 2023 can be nice for anime-only viewers is Gear 5.

If you learn the manga, you understand simply how epic a metamorphosis Luffy’s Gear 5 is. In my private opinion, it is without doubt one of the greatest transformations in anime historical past as a result of his powers swimsuit him so effectively.

I don’t watch One Piece episodes often and often stick with the manga. Still, you may guess I’ll be ready for the anime adaptation of Chapter 1044 like everybody else.

The second purpose Henry thinks 2023 can be nice is that manga readers will get to see THAT scene tailored. Most doubtless, Henry is referring to Oda’s message at Jump Fest 2023, the place he mentioned that THAT individual and THAT individual can be combating in 2023.

Oda loves leaving cryptic messages at Jump Fests and this 12 months was additionally the identical. Nobody can say for sure who Oda is referring to. Maybe he’s speaking about Shanks vs Blackbeard, or possibly Luffy vs Blackbeard. Or possibly it’s Monkey D. Garp vs Blackbeard that has been teased within the newest chapter. Whoever they could be, Oda has us manga readers hooked like yearly.

Here is the total message that Eiichiro Oda delivered at Jump Fest 2023:
