Overview
- Crunchyroll confirmed on Monday that the One Piece: Heroines special will receive English, Spanish and Portuguese dubs on October 13, 2026 at 9 a.m. PT and that the Elbaph Arc dub will begin with Episode 1,156 on October 20, 2026 at 9 a.m. PT.
- Instead of past multi-episode batch drops, Crunchyroll will release the Elbaph Arc dubbed episodes on a weekly schedule to mirror the anime’s new, slower production rhythm.
- Official notices list the timed releases at 9 a.m. PT for the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
- Coverage notes a remaining discrepancy about which weekday the weekly drops will appear, with some reports saying Friday while Crunchyroll and a Toei Animation post indicate Tuesday.
- The dubbing plan follows Toei’s 2025 decision to cut One Piece to 26 episodes per year and comes alongside announced franchise projects such as new feature films and Netflix productions, which could make steady weekly dubs the default release model going forward.
