In a stunning announcement that has shaken the anime community, WIT Studio — the acclaimed team behind Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga — has officially been confirmed to handle the long-awaited One Piece remake. The news instantly sent waves of excitement across social media, as fans anticipate a modern retelling of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary story with the visual brilliance and cinematic touch that WIT is known for. The remake promises to reintroduce the East Blue saga with a completely new animation style, dynamic fight choreography, and emotional storytelling aimed at both long-time fans and a new generation of viewers.
The announcement comes during a golden age for the One Piece franchise, as Oda’s ongoing God Valley Arc in the manga has completely captivated readers worldwide. With its exploration of the world’s hidden history and long-awaited revelations about legends like Rocks D. Xebec, Gol D. Roger, and Imu, the timing of this remake feels deliberate — bridging the franchise’s past and present in a way that celebrates its 25-year legacy. As one fan wrote, “From Wano to God Valley, from Toei to WIT — One Piece is evolving, not ending.”
The combination of Oda’s timeless story and WIT’s masterful production has set sky-high expectations. Whether the remake retells the story faithfully or reimagines it for a modern audience, one thing is clear: this marks the beginning of a bold new era for One Piece.
