One Piece Anime Debuts New Eyecatchers for Egghead Arc
One Piece has debuted a new set of eyecatchers for the anime's Egghead Arc!
One Piece has officially started its anime adaptation of the Egghead Arc with the first new episode of the year, and with this new arc cause a new set of eyecatchers for the episodes as well! One Piece ended the struggle against Kaido after four long years of the anime, and now that means it's finally time for the anime to explore the Straw Hats' next major adventure following the Wano Country arc. The newest episode of the anime has finally started to take on this brand new arc, and has undergone a major makeover for the Straw Hats in the process.
One Piece's anime has a special eyecatcher in between the commercial breaks before the first and second acts of an episode, and each of these eyecatches has been different for many of the arcs we've seen over the years. The anime continued this trend with the start of the Egghead Arc in Episode 1089 of the series, and has debuted two new eyecatcher sequences that continue to show off the makeovers that the Straw Hats will be getting for their future island adventure. Check them out below.
