The BBC iPlayer streaming platform continues to add new English dubbed episodes of ONE PIECE, as this past weekend (on 24th November 2024 to be exact) Seasons 7 and Season 8 of the long-running anime series, which consist of Fishman Island and Dressrosa arcs, were added to the streaming platform.
As it stands 746 English dubbed episodes of ONE PIECE are now available to stream on BBC iPlayer in the UK with another 342 episodes expected by the end of the year. As a reminder English dubbed episodes of ONE PIECE began streaming on 1st September 2024 with the East Blue, Alabasta and Skypiea arcs (listed as Seasons 1 – 3) being added to the BBC iPlayer service. On 20th October 2024 the Water Seven, Thriller Bark & Summit War Arcs (listed as Season 4 – 6) then became available to stream, thus bringing the total number of episodes up to 515. On 24th November 2024 this total episode count increased to 746 with the addition Fishman Island and Dressrosa arcs (listed as Season 7 and 8).
Synopsis: Monkey D. Luffy is a boy with big dreams. This daring rubber-man refuses to let anyone or anything stand in the way of his quest to become king of all pirates. With a course charted for the treacherous waters of the Grand Line, Luffy strikes out in search of a crew – and a boat. Along the way he’ll do battle with scallywag clowns, fishy foes, and an entire fleet of marines eager to see him walk the plank. The stakes are high, but with each adventure, Luffy adds a new friend to his gang of Straw Hat Pirates! Like his hero Gold Roger, this is one captain who’ll never drop anchor until he’s claimed the greatest treasure on Earth – the Legendary One Piece!
The BBC acquired the streaming rights to the English dub version of the ONE PIECE series earlier this year, with the expectation that they will add over 1000 episodes of the series (of which runs up to the end of Wano arc) by the end of the year. So far the streaming service has been living up to the promise, and it is expected that the remaining seasons (arcs) will be added in December.
For the time being the East Blue, Alabasta, Skypiea, Water Seven, Thriller Bark, Summit War, Fishland Island and Dressrosa arcs of ONE PIECE are available to stream (dubbed in English) on BBC iPlayer in the UK. ONE PIECE is also available to stream (and simulcast stream new episodes weekly) subtitled on Crunchyroll in the UK, with the Egghead Arc episodes also available to stream subtitled on Netflix UK. ONE PIECE is also available on DVD (and Blu-Ray for later sets) in the UK by Crunchyroll.
