Even with over 1,100 anime episodes, movies, and OVAs to enjoy, it’s best to watch the many One Piece arcs in order if you want the best viewing experience of the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventure; and you’ll need to know where to watch them all, too.
Ever since the adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga first debuted back in 1999, numerous massive arcs have hit our screens. Across all these episodes, it can get very easy to get either put off — or even lose your place if you end up switching streaming services.
What’s more, even if they’re not canon to the core anime, there are the various films and the live-action Netflix series you can factor in, as well.
Here’s the complete list of One Piece arcs in order for the anime, and exactly where to watch all the episodes.

Episodes 1,089 to 1,155: Egghead Island ArcEpisodes 1,159 to present: Elbaph ArcThis order of arcs for One Piece has been confirmed using the episode guide by Crunchyroll and our own expertise at Radio Times.
Considering the fact that this series includes more than 1,150 episodes already, you may be tempted to jump in halfway through.
However, we recommend starting at the beginning and watching One Piece in the order it was released, so you can fully appreciate the story's impact.
Keep in mind that, besides any that essentially retell/recap previous events, any of the One Piece specials and movies aren’t actually canon to the anime’s timeline.
As we’ve figured out where each one-off episode or film does fit into the anime’s many episodes, you should still give them a watch if you wish to purely experience more One Piece. That said, you can still skip them if you’re not too bothered about non-canon material.
In a similar vein to specials and films that aren’t canon to the One Piece anime, said anime also had filler episodes: those which aren’t canon to the manga, and were originally added to give Oda more time to create new manga chapters for the show to adapt.
Radio Times has also researched and put together a dedicated One Piece filler guide containing a fully manga-canon watch guide; for those in a hurry, though, here are all the filler episodes to avoid if you want to do so:
Episodes 54-60: Warship Island ArcEpisodes 98-99: Arabasta ArcEpisode 102: Arabasta ArcEpisodes 131-135: Post-Arabasta ArcEpisodes 136-138: Goat Island ArcEpisodes 139-143: Ruluka Island ArcEpisodes 196-206: G-8 ArcEpisodes 220-225: Ocean’s Dream ArcEpisodes 279-283: Enies Lobby ArcEpisodes 291-292: Enies Lobby ArcEpisode 303: Enies Lobby ArcEpisodes 317-319: Post-Enies Lobby ArcEpisodes 326-336: Ice Hunter ArcEpisodes 382-384: Spa Island ArcEpisodes 406-407: Boss Luffy ArcEpisodes 426-429: Little East Blue ArcEpisodes 457-458: Marineford ArcEpisode 492: Post-War ArcEpisode 542: Fish-Man Island ArcEpisodes 575-578: Z’s Ambition ArcEpisode 590: Punk Hazard ArcEpisodes 626-627: Caesar’s Retrieval ArcEpisodes 747-750: Silver Mine ArcEpisodes 780-782: Marine Rookie ArcEpisodes 895-896: Cidre Guild ArcEpisode 907: Romance Dawn ArcEpisodes 1029-1030: Uta ArcHow to watch the One Piece movies in order
Although they’re not canon to both the manga and anime, there’s still a correct way to watch all of One Piece’s 15 movies in order — if you want to enjoy as much from the franchise as possible.
For each film, there’s an ideal point of the One Piece anime it portrays where you can sandwich it in between installments:
One Piece: The Movie (2000) — After episode 18One Piece: Clockwork Island Adventure (2001) — After episode 52One Piece: Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals (2002) — After episode 102One Piece Dead End Adventure (2003) — After episode 130One Piece: The Cursed Holy Sword — After episode 143One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island — After episode 224One Piece: The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle — After episode 228One Piece Movie: The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta — Arabasta saga remakeOne Piece: Episode of Chopper Plus: The Miracle Winter Cherry Blossom (2008) — Drum Island arc remakeOne Piece Film: Strong World (2009) — After episode 381One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase (2011) — After episode 385One Piece Film: Z (2012) — After episode 573One Piece Film: Gold (2016) — After episode 750One Piece Stampede (2019) — After episode 889One Piece: Red (2022) — After episode 1,030What are the best One Piece films?
Be that as it may, with all of the One Piece movie choices, the quality will be much higher for some films than others. If you want to try out a One Piece film, but only if they’re among the best, these are currently the top five rated by IMDB (but re-ordered by release year):
One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island (2005)One Piece: Strong World (2009)One Piece Film: Z (2012)One Piece Film: Gold (2016)One Piece Film: Red (2022)Both season 1 and season 2 of Netflix’s live-action One Piece adaptation can be watched at any time, since it’s acting as a new take on the East Blue Saga (up to the Arlong Park Arc) and Alabasta Saga (up to the Drum Island Arc) respectively; this means even a newcomer to anime altogether can jump into Netflix and watch with no prerequisite.
That said, if you’re balancing both the One Piece anime and live-action Netflix show to see how the two compare, Radio Times recommends watch each season of the latter at these points:
Live-action One Piece season 1 — watch after episode 45 of the anime Live-action One Piece season 2 — watch after episode 91 of the animeAveraging almost an hour each for its eight episodes per season, the live-action One Piece does skip or remix a lot of the material from both the manga and anime. Because of this, we do recommend watching the anime first to give you extra context.
Do I need to watch One Piece to understand Netflix's The One Piece anime reboot?
For the upcoming remake of One Piece — an anime collab between Netflix and legendary Attack on Titan studio, WIT Studio — you don't need to have seen the original One Piece anime first.
They're the same story, and the main difference is that the new reboot will have a more modern anime style than the series that began in the late '90s.
A new teaser was dropped by Netflix back in June this year, so check out the trailer below to see how it looks so far:
View oEmbed on the source websiteAs has usually been the case with major shows like this, the best place to watch One Piece in both the UK and US is Crunchyroll — with all 1,178 episodes (at the time of writing) available to watch in both regions with subtitles.
Also on Crunchyroll, the latest English dubbed One Piece episodes — up to episode 1155 — are available to watch there in the US, as well. In the UK, however, this differs ever so slightly.
In the United Kingdom, as confirmed by Radio Times in our own research, only episode 325 of One Piece on Crunchyroll is available in the English dub.
Netflix UK also has One Piece, but has only the dubbed episodes up to 102, skips most of the others, then has episodes 1089-1122 in Japanese. We suspect this is because, until recently, dubbed One Piece in the UK was only streaming on BBC iPlayer as part of an exclusivity deal.
As of July 2026, as pointed out by Advanced Television, that exclusivity seems to have reached its end date; however, if you want to watch the latest One Piece episodes in the UK with the English dub (again, up to episode 1155), you’ll still need to use BBC iPlayer.
Alternative streaming services for One Piece in the US and UK
The One Piece anime is also available on US Netflix with the live-action version; a drawback, though, is that the Netflix in that region is missing episodes 878-1088 — and only has the dubs for the first 878 episodes.
Another go-to for the One Piece anime in the US is Hulu, but that only has the first 852 episodes — and only the English dub.
Where to stream the One Piece movies in the US and UK
We’ve had a check into the main anime streaming services in both the United Kingdom and United States, and confirmed these One Piece films are available to watch right now:
