This post contains spoilers for One Piece.
One Piece is among the most loved anime in the world. The anime started in 1999, and since then, it has released more than 1100 episodes. Even now, the One Piece anime airs new episodes weekly.
Over the years, the anime has received competition from other series, and usually, it has managed to fend it off. But Solo Leveling is not unlike the rest, and currently, it is just as popular among anime fans. With the growing competition, the One Piece anime needs to make a big move, and that's exactly what Toei Animation could be planning.
Tired Of Waiting For Solo Leveling Season 3? Then You Need To Watch This Masterpiece Anime Immediately
Solo Leveling has rocked the anime community. Fans too tired to wait for its third season can check out this other anime instead.
One Piece Will Release New Information About The Elbaf Arc
The Elbaf Arc Will Surpass Solo Leveling
- The One Piece anime is on a two week break
- The One Piece anime will reveal new information about the Elbaf arc
Recently, it was announced that the One Piece anime would be making an announcement on October 10, 2025. The official X (formerly Twitter) account suggested that there could be an update regarding the Elbaf arc. Fans who read the manga will be aware that the Elbaf arc takes place after the events of the Egghead Incident. Currently, the anime is focused on the Egghead arc, and it will take some time before everything is wrapped up. However, it's worth mentioning that the anime has entered the final stretch of episodes for the Egghead arc.
It is likely because of this reason that the One Piece anime will make an announcement related to the Elbaf arc. One would assume that there would be a new visual or maybe even a teaser, but at the moment, it's hard to tell. There is also a possibility that the One Piece anime will reveal the release date for the Elbaf arc, which will effectively help fans figure out when the current arc will finish.
The Elbaf arc has a lot of promise, and it could easily end up becoming the best arc in the entirety of One Piece. Due to this reason, it is completely possible that One Piece's Elbaf arc will overtake Solo Leveling. The latter is renowned for its outstanding animation and action scenes. In fact, it has become the industry standard. So, A-1 Pictures can be proud of the work that they have done with the anime.
When the second season of Solo Leveling came out, nobody expected other anime to surpass it. However, One Piece has proven that it can hang with the big names in terms of animation. Some of the One Piece episodes from this year have overtaken Solo Leveling on IMDb. If Toei Animation manages to maintain the same level, One Piece could easily reclaim its throne on Crunchyroll.
Solo Leveling Season 3 Has Not Been Announced Yet
Solo Leveling Fans Are Still Waiting For News Regarding Season 3
While One Piece fans celebrate the possibility of learning about the anime's Elbaf arc, Solo Leveling enthusiasts are still waiting for news regarding the third season. The second season of Solo Leveling ended earlier this year, but since then, there has been absolute silence from A-1 Pictures and Aniplex. The silence from all the parties has left fans perplexed, as Solo Leveling is among the most popular anime in the world. Seeing no concrete news of the next installment has also left some viewers worried.
Some rumors suggest that Solo Leveling will be released in 2028 at the earliest, which is still three years away. While it may not be ideal, fans will take any update at this point. They only want to see their beloved anime series continue. 2028 is also the ideal time for A-1 Pictures. It gives the studio ample time to finish the production and maintain the standards.
Once the anime's return is confirmed, Solo Leveling fans can look forward to another season full of incredible fights. The third installment of the anime will also raise the curtains on many mysteries, including that of the Double Dungeon. Fans already know that Sung Jinwoo obtained his powers after the Double Dungeon Incident, but they still haven't uncovered why the hero was granted the powers. Thankfully, Solo Leveling Season 3 will reveal the truth.
