Netflix’s upcoming One Piece live-action adaptation has recently unveiled the names of its initial eight episodes to the WGA, following the release of One Piece Live-Action Episode Titles.
Following the recent release of its complete trailer, Netflix’s One Piece live-action series has surprised audiences with an additional sneak peek.
As per a report by @OP_Netflix_Fan, a reliable source for One Piece news, the initial eight episodes of the show have been registered with the Writers Guild of America, giving a glimpse of what viewers can anticipate from the first season. There were leaks of episode titles earlier from another news outlet, but many of those titles seem to be either speculation or altered by the series since the initial report. However, the pilot episode “Romance Dawn” and “Tell No Tales” remain constant, while the remaining modified titles portray a vastly different outlook on what the first season of this much-awaited series has to offer.

Although the WGA titles listed are not in any specific sequence, it is worth noting that none of them make reference to the Grand Line, which was a prominent feature in previously reported titles. The earlier titles suggested a much faster pace through One Piece’s narrative, reaching the Grand Line in only eight episodes compared to the anime adaptation’s 53. However, the new episode titles present a more methodical approach that is likely to wrap up during either the “Arlong Park” or “Lougetown” arcs. Previously, a leaked Netflix series test screening received criticism for its rushed pacing and complex plot, but fans may find comfort in knowing that the rumors have been debunked by the Season 1 story implied by these episode titles.
One Piece Live-Action Trailer Reactions
During Netflix’s TUDUM event last week, the live-action One Piece series unveiled its first extended trailer, which provided viewers with their initial glimpse of the new Straw Hat crew in motion. The trailer has been met with mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing doubts about the actors’ “cosplay” appearance while others lauded it for surpassing their expectations. There has been a great deal of skepticism surrounding not only One Piece’s live-action adaptation but also the idea of live-action anime adaptations in general. While the new trailer has not fully allayed these concerns, it has not exacerbated them either. Even with a complete trailer and episode titles, it remains impossible to determine the degree of success that Netflix’s record-breaking production will achieve, and viewers will simply have to wait and judge for themselves.
Netflix has announced that the first season of One Piece will debut on August 31. While enthusiasts wait for the premiere, they can watch the anime on Crunchyroll or read the manga in English, which is published by VIZ.
