One Piece Day Announces 2022 Date

By Nick Valdez

One Piece is gearing up to reveal some major announcements this Summer with a special new event to help celebrate the franchise's 25th Anniversary! Eiichiro Oda has officially announced that he will be going on a month-length hiatus in order to get ready for the final saga of the series overall, but not only that, the series creator also noted how busy the franchise was going to be over the Summer. With the manga kicking off its end, a new movie hitting theaters across Japan, new video games on the way, and the anime running stronger than ever, there's plenty to keep an eye on.

One Piece is gearing up for a huge Summer this year, and while there has been a bunch of stuff shown off to be in the works for the franchise already, it seems there are still even more in the works. The official Twitter account for the franchise announced that a special new "One Piece Day" coming on the July 22-23 weekend with promises of an "ultimate festival" where they will be showing off much more of the projects they have going. Check out the official announcement for One Piece Day below: 

"Calling all One Piece fans! The ultimate festival is set to start! Manga, anime, movies, games...Everything One Piece is here! The 'ONE PIECE DAY' worldwide streaming event is coming 7/22 & 7/23（JST)! Get the scoop! See you soon!" the official announcement teases. More details about the date itself will be held until a later date, but with One Piece: Red hitting theaters just the week or so after there are lots of things that could be shown off about what to expect from the future of the franchise next. 

There's also the final saga of the manga series to consider as it will be returning from its lengthy hiatus right around the same time as well. There are still many secrets about what the grand finale will hold (nevertheless how long it will actually be sticking around for), but it's clear that fans will definitely want to keep an eye out for how this event develops going forward. 

What do you think? How do you feel about One Piece getting ready for such a big event? What do you hope to see announcements? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments! You can even reach out to me directly about all things animated and other cool stuff @Valdezology on Twitter!
