One Piece takes a sudden break
Weekly Shonen Jump has pulled this week’s One Piece chapter following a last-minute health update on creator Eiichiro Oda. Editors indicated it’s a short pause and that Oda is recuperating; the series is expected to resume with the delayed Chapter 1162 in mid-October.
Why the hiatus matters right now
The manga is in a pivotal stretch of the late-game storyline, with major reveals unfolding and fan theorizing at a peak. A brief break doesn’t change the broader arc, but it does push the release cadence by a week and amplifies anticipation for the next chapter’s cliffhangers and reveals. (Fans and coverage frame the pause as precautionary and limited.)
When to expect Chapter 1162
Outlets tracking Jump’s schedule say the postponed Chapter 1162 is slated to land around October 12–13, 2025 (date varies slightly by region/time zone and platform listings). If that holds, readers should see the new chapter on official services shortly thereafter.
Another short pause on the horizon
Several reports also flag an additional one-week gap later in October, meaning that after 1162 arrives, the series may briefly pause again before 1163. The messaging remains that Oda’s health comes first and that the team plans a measured return rather than forcing the schedule.
Community reaction: support first, hype second
Across social posts and fan hubs, the through-line is support for Oda’s rest and a willingness to wait. Many note that similar short pauses have happened before, with the series rebounding quickly when the author is back to full strength. The overall tone is encouragement and patience.
What about the anime?
Separately from the manga delay, the One Piece anime has a short October break window in its broadcast schedule, so manga and anime slowdowns briefly overlap. Regular weekly airing resumes afterward per broadcaster listings; check Crunchyroll/Netflix pages for the exact next episode in your region.
How to follow official updates
For precise chapter dates and any changes to the plan, keep an eye on:
- MANGA Plus / VIZ listings for the chapter’s live release time in your region.
- Official One Piece/WSJ channels, which posted the health notice and the resumption guidance.
The bottom line
This is a short, health-related pause. Current guidance points to Chapter 1162 in mid-October, with a possible additional one-week gap afterward before 1163. The community’s focus is squarely on Oda’s well-being, with excitement building for the series’ rapid return.
