It is highly likely that the One Piece anime will take a break before the Egg Head arc. However, Toei Animation has not officially confirmed this yet. The upcoming break may not be a special one to mark the end of the Wano Country Saga, but rather Toei Animation's annual holiday break.

The anime has taken a two-week break during the holiday season for the past two years, specifically during the final week of the year and the first week of the new year.

With One Piece anime's episode 1085 adapting manga chapter 1057, fans can look forward to episode 1086 adapting chapter 1058.

With nearly a month to go before the start of the Egg Head arc on January 7, it is likely that the One Piece anime will take holiday breaks on December 24 and December 31. This could result in the release of two more episodes on December 10 and December 17 before the break. However, with Chapter 1061 marking the beginning of the Egg Head arc, there will only be two chapters worth of content for episodes 1087 and 1088. As a result, fans can anticipate that the One Piece anime will expand the storylines for episodes 1059 and 1060 in order to fill the gap.

Another possibility for the anime would be to have extended breaks leading up to the beginning of the Egg Head arc. Nevertheless, if the anime were to take a prolonged break, Toei Animation would likely have already made an announcement.

Fans should tune into One Piece episode 1086 for clues about the upcoming weeks of the anime. They should also keep an eye out for any details or announcements released by the anime after the episode airs.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled about the upcoming Egg Head arc in the One Piece anime. The Wano Country Saga was epic, and I can't wait to see what's next for Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. However, I'm a little disappointed that the anime might be taking a break before the new arc starts. I understand that the staff at Toei Animation needs a break, but I'm still eager to see more One Piece.

I'm also curious about how the anime will handle the transition from Wano to Egg Head. The two arcs are very different in tone and setting, so it will be interesting to see how the anime team makes the transition smooth. I'm confident that they'll do a great job, and I can't wait to see what's next for One Piece.
