This year, the One Piece anime has taken more breaks than usual. Fans were hoping that with the Egghead arc ending in 2025, the episodes would come out quickly and without interruption. There are only a few weeks left in the year, so many expected the anime to run continuously. But if you are waiting for Episode 1151, there’s some news. The anime will take another short break before the next episode.
At the end of Episode 1150, the preview showed that the anime will pause for a week. Instead of a regular episode, a recap will air this weekend. The recap is titled “Dr Chopper’s Adventure Checkup – The Last Records That a Genius Left Behind” and it is scheduled for November 23, 2025. This is likely the last recap episode the anime will ever have. One Piece is moving into a seasonal release format next year, starting with the Elbaf arc.
After the recap, Episode 1151 will air on November 30, 2025. The release time is 9:00 AM Pacific Time or 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Only a few episodes are left in the Egghead arc, and they will air one after another for the rest of the year. There will be no more breaks in 2025, so fans can enjoy the final episodes without waiting.
Once the Egghead arc concludes, the anime will take a longer break. It is expected to pause for about three months starting in 2026 before the new Elbaf arc begins.
Fans are now eagerly waiting to see how the Egghead arc will end and what surprises the next episode will bring.
