The One Piece TV anime's Elbaph Arc has unveiled a trailer and cast members for Knights of God. The newly announced cast members include Sumire Uesaka as Gunko, Hiroki Yasumoto as Sommers, and Shinnosuke Tachibana as Killingham. Kenjirō Tsuda was previously confirmed to play Shamrock. The Elbaph arc debuted in Japan on April 5 and is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. The franchise announced a new production schedule, reducing the annual episode output to a maximum of 26 episodes starting in 2026, with a three-month production hiatus from January-March 2026. This new schedule aims to incorporate more content and pacing while leveraging the unique storytelling of animation. The Egghead arc, which concluded last year, took a break to recharge, and the anime will return in April 2026 for the first of two quarters with the start of the new Elbaph arc.
