Current Manga Status
Toei Animation recently shifted the show’s production strategy to improve quality and pacing. Here is the breakdown of what’s happening:
- Current Arc: The story is deep into the Elbaph Arc, focusing on the “War of the Giants” and the conflict involving the God’s Knights
- Release Pace: Eiichiro Oda continues to maintain a schedule of roughly three chapters followed by a one-week break. After the release of Chapter 1,174, the series is expected to take a brief one-week hiatus before Chapter 1,175.
- Milestones: With the manga now well past chapter 1,100, the narrative has firmly entered the “Final Saga,” where major world mysteries are finally being unraveled.
