The news was announced by Toonami head Jason Demarco, who is the Warnermedia SVP of Action and Anime. One Piece will be returning with episodes 517 and 518 on Saturday, January 22. These episodes take place right after the time skip so it’s a natural starting place even if you haven’t watched hundreds of episodes. This also marks the third time that One Piece has been a part of the popular anime block, so Demarco hopes “third time is the charm.”
Check out the new Toonami schedule below:
- 12:00 a.m. – Blade Runner: Black Lotus
- 12:30 a.m. – Assassination Classroom
- 1:00 a.m. – Made in Abyss
