We Finally Have the Release Date for the One Piece WIT Remake
After 3 years, we finally have actual news on the One Piece WIT Remake’s release schedule and this will definitely be better paced than the ongoing anime.
On May 5, 2026, we finally got the release date for the One Piece remake after 3 years since its announcement on Jump Festa 2024 on December 17, 2023.
Along with the announcement came a key visual showing a young Luffy with Shanks in Makino’s Bar, the setup for Chapter 1: “Romance Dawn”.
The remake will be released on Netflix on February 2027 with the first 7 episodes coming in all at once.
Each episode is about 40 to 45 minutes long, with a total of 300 minutes and will adapt the first 50 chapters of the manga.
Each episode will adapt at least 7 chapters.
For context, each 20-minute episode of the original anime adapted 2 chapters at a time but by the post-timeskip, it was mostly 1 chapter.
Now, each WIT Remake episode being double the length and double the chapter count.
This is half of the East Blue Saga, the first saga of the story that covers 6 arcs, from the Romance Dawn Arc (Chapters 1-4) to the Loguetown Arc (Chapters 97-100).
This means that the remake will release only up to the halfway point of the 4th Arc, the Baratie Arc, where Luffy meets with Sanji but this could also adapt literally up to Chapter 50: “To Each His Own Way” where the Straw Hats learn of Nami’s betrayal and we see the beginning of Zoro’s duel with Mihawk.
It is also possible that more episodes will be coming to adapt the rest of the East Blue Saga, possibly being 6 episodes, which will finish the Baratie Arc and reach Loguetown.
