On Friday, January 12, 2024, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for the One Piece franchise excitedly announced the addition of three new voice actors set to debut in the Egghead arc. These three voice actors are best known for their roles as Demon Slayer’s Kyojuro Rengoku, Naruto’s Karin Uzumaki, and Attack on Titan’s Krista Lenz/Historia Reiss.
Each of the new voice actors will portray a character in One Piece’s SWORD group, which is a separate subdivision of the Marines with its own established chain of command. Fans can look forward to learning more about SWORD and its relationship to the Marines in the upcoming episodes featuring the introduction of these characters.

The latest
The One Piece anime has recently announced three exciting castings for the ongoing Egghead arc. Satoshi Hino will voice Prince Grus, Toa Yukinari will voice Vice Admiral Doll, and Shiori Mikami will voice Hibari. All three have notable voice acting credits in other popular anime such as Demon Slayer, Naruto, and Attack on Titan.
These castings have been officially confirmed by the franchise's official X accounts, and are not mere rumors or leaks. Fans can look forward to seeing all three characters make their debut in the upcoming 1090th episode of the series, set to release this Sunday, January 14, 2024 in Japan.
These initial castings mark just the beginning of the Egghead arc, with more to come before the arc concludes. Viewers can anticipate a number of additional characters being introduced as the television anime adaptation progresses through the Egghead arc. This will be particularly evident in the latter part of the arc as it builds up to its climax, introducing multiple new characters all at once.
The Egghead arc is the beginning of the final saga for the television anime adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's original manga series. While the anime is just starting the final stretch, the manga has been progressing into the final saga for some time. It seems that the manga is reaching the climax of the Egghead arc just as the anime is beginning to adapt that part of the story.

As a One Piece fan, I am thrilled about the recent casting announcements for the Egghead arc. The addition of voice actors from popular anime like Demon Slayer and Naruto is sure to bring excitement and depth to the series. I can't wait to see how these talented voice actors bring the characters of SWORD to life and explore their relationship with the Marines. The Egghead arc promises to be an unforgettable journey, and I am eagerly looking forward to every episode.
The casting of Satoshi Hino, Toa Yukinari, and Shiori Mikami is a testament to the high quality of voice acting in the One Piece anime. These voice actors have proven their skills in other popular anime, and I am confident that they will bring the same level of talent to One Piece. I am particularly excited to see how they portray the characters of Prince Grus, Vice Admiral Doll, and Hibari, and how they contribute to the overall narrative of the Egghead arc.
