The One Piece anime officially has a return date for the next leg of the Egghead Arc. The staff previously announced plans to go on hiatus in October and return in April 2025, and now the return date has been locked in for April 6.
The new voice actor was also announced for Franky, following the announcement that Kazuki Yao would be stepping down from the role. Those are some big robotic shoes to fill, and the actor doing the honors is Subaru Kimura (Todo in JUJUTSU KAISEN).
