One Piece's stop was the result of a combination of factors. In terms of production, the plot was complicated and there were many characters. The production of each episode was time-consuming and laborious. The production cycle was an important factor that led to the suspension of the broadcast. At the same time, in order to ensure the quality of the work, more time was needed to carefully polish the subsequent content, such as redoing the light and shadow and painting content, compressing the number of chapters and episodes to improve the rhythm, so as to avoid the plot dragging and the quality declining. The copyright and broadcasting platform also had an impact on the suspension. With the rise of online video platforms, more and more viewers chose to watch animation on these platforms. This change brought about copyright and broadcasting platform-related issues that restricted the broadcast of animation. In addition, external factors such as the replacement of the voice actor and other unexpected events would also affect the production progress. For example, the replacement of the voice actor of Saab, the replacement of the voice actor of Franky due to health reasons, and other personnel changes, making the animation unable to be produced and broadcast according to the original plan. From the perspective of market competition, the animation industry was highly competitive. The production team needed to adjust their strategies, improve the production process, and explore and create new ideas by stopping the broadcast to maintain their leading position.
The delay in the broadcast of episode 1123 of One Piece was due to Toei Animation Studio's " special " plan. On October 20, 2024, the 25th anniversary of One Piece would be celebrated.
