One Piece Surpasses Major Anime Milestone After 13 Years

2024 has been a landmark year for One Piece, setting a new benchmark for the franchise amidst major celebrations.

After 25 years, One Piece is increasingly powerful, now transitioning into the Elbaf Arc in the manga, a part of Eiichiro Oda’s expansive final saga for Luffy and the Straw Hats.

In addition, Netflix is introducing a complete anime reboot of One Piece. This doesn’t diminish the ongoing anime, which has actually surpassed its own ratings this year.

The Straw Hats previously achieved a franchise high with four top-rated episodes on IMDb in 2011. In 2024, they have now set a new record with five, including Episode 1115 from August 11, which boasts an impressive rating of 9.7 on the site.

The other high-rated episodes include Episode 1089, Episode 1100, Episode 1112, and Episode 1114, marking a notable hot streak. Fans especially cherished Admiral Garp’s appearance and the thrilling fight scenes, along with Episode 1100, which showcased Luffy’s debut of Gear 5.

It’s impressive how One Piece continues to surpass expectations even after all these years. While major titles like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen have recently dominated the anime landscape, none match One Piece’s remarkable longevity. Even Dragon Ball took breaks between GT and Super. One Piece remains in a unique position, consistently evolving and breaking records, as evidenced by a small yet significant milestone broken after 13 years, with more to come this year.

As we anticipate where the story leads us next, it’s clear that Eiichiro Oda and Toei Animation will continue to push boundaries. Explore our guides to The Man Marked By Flames and the Iron Giant’s fate for deeper insights into the recent developments in One Piece.
