One Piece: Elbaph Arc Trailer Debuts Loki
Three months after One Piece ended its first season, we have an official trailer into Elbaph and finally see and hear Loki for the first time in the anime.
For AnimeJapan on March 28, 2026, we finally got a trailer for the upcoming One Piece: Elbaph Arc adaptation.
Since March 26, the reveal of the Elbaph Arc’s opening and ending themes was anticipated, as well as potentially the first appearance of Loki in the anime.
The very first shot shows Loki himself introducing himself to Luffy like was shown in Chapter 1130: “The Accursed Prince”
We get narration from Louis Arnodt, the same explorer from Little Garden, warning people of the dangers of Elbaph
Alongside Luffy, Sanji and Zoro trying to get away from the “Land of the Gods” diorama, we see Robin’s new haircut from Chapter 1133 and concludes with Loki making a deal with Luffy after hearing of his interest in Shanks.
Loki Voice Actor
It has finally been confirmed that Yuichi Nakamura, famous for his role as Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen, Gray Fullbuster in Fairy Tail and many, many others, will be the voice behind Loki, the Accursed Prince and the central figure of the Elbaph Arc.
This is his first official role in One Piece but in 2024, he has voiced Usopp’s counterpart, Usopp Nakatsugawa, in One Piece in Love, the series of five anime shorts about a slice-of-life alternate world inspired by the original manga.
Alongside confirmation for Loki’s voice and official anime colors, we also have the official anime colors for the rest of the New Giant Warrior Pirates.
Opening and Ending Themes
Opening 29 will be “Luminous” by “AiNA THE END”, who was recently known for her work on Dandadan Season 2’s opening, “On the Way”.
Meanwhile, Ending 23 will be “That Future” by “Jisoku 36km”.
Episode 1156 Trailer
Alongside the main trailer, we also get the preview for Episode 1156, titled, “The Long-Awaited Elbaf! A Grand Reunion Feast”, which features the Straw Hats feasting on Great Eirik ship while also showing Blackbeard and Bartolomeo.
Following the “one chapter per episode” rule that remains a norm, this episode adapts Chapter 1126: “Settling the Score” and possibly the relevant 5-chapter cover story series on Bartolomeo (Chapter 869-875 cover story), potentially adapting over 22 pages.
With One Piece now being seasonal after 1155 episodes, the Elbaph Arc will be divided into Parts like Egghead, with Part 1 airing for the Spring for 12 episodes
This could mean the episodes will adapt Chapter 1126 to the iconic Chapter 1138: “The Harley”.
Since each season is slated to only have 26 episodes per year, Part 2 will debut either on the Summer (July 5) as a consecutive cour series or later in Fall (October 4).
