But I wanted more, I’m kind of upset that I’m gonna have to wait a few months, but at least their other good news, which makes it exciting,” a fan wrote. “It’s a shame, and a surprise, but it doesn’t matter, there are always more things to see. Besides, if in the future it comes back with better quality, the wait is worth it,” another fan commented.
“I’m praying. they continue dubbing what’s already out. The dub could finally catch up to the present episodes with this much time,” a third fan commented. “It’s a heartbreak for now. But I hope the comeback would be Awesome,” another fan wrote.
According to Comicbook.com, a US-based website dedicated to anime, One Piece will go into a “charging period”, leading to the next phase of the Egghead Arc and helping the team to improve. Despite this hiatus, a new episode, One Piece Fan Letter, will air next Sunday, and fans can also look forward to a special edited version of the Fish-Man Island arc, which will broadcast on October 27.
