The English dub of One Piece’s Elbaph Arc is now streaming weekly on Crunchyroll. It began with episode 1156 on Tuesday 20 October 2026, and a new dubbed episode follows every Tuesday at 9am Pacific Time, which is midnight on Wednesday in Singapore until 1 November and 1am on Wednesday from then on. Crunchyroll’s announcement (24 August 2026) lists Southeast Asia among the regions getting it.
That timing matters, because the Japanese broadcast is on a break. Here is what is streaming, when to watch in Singapore and where the anime stands.
What Crunchyroll announced
According to Crunchyroll (24 August 2026), the Elbaph Arc English dub premiered on 20 October at 9am PT with episode 1156, with new English dub episodes weekly every Tuesday at 9am PT after that. The dub is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
The same announcement says the English, Spanish and Portuguese dubs of the spin-off ONE PIECE HEROINES debuted on Crunchyroll a week earlier, on 13 October. Crunchyroll also streams the Japanese version of the Elbaph Arc with subtitles.
This is a change for dub fans. The Egghead Arc dub reached English in batches of several episodes, as Radio Times noted (20 October 2026), so a weekly rhythm means you can follow Elbaph one episode at a time.
Singapore times for new dubbed episodes
Crunchyroll gives the release time as 9am Pacific Time. The United States moves its clocks back on Sunday 1 November 2026, while Singapore stays on the same time all year, so the Singapore time shifts by one hour.
| Release in the US (Pacific Time) | Singapore time |
|---|---|
| Tue 20 Oct 2026, 9am PDT (episode 1156) | Wed 21 Oct 2026, 12am (midnight) |
| Tue 27 Oct 2026, 9am PDT | Wed 28 Oct 2026, 12am (midnight) |
| Every Tuesday from 3 Nov 2026, 9am PST | Wednesday, 1am |
Crunchyroll has not published a full episode list for the dub or announced any breaks, so treat later dates as a weekly pattern rather than a promise. Availability can also differ by country, so check the app in Singapore.
Where the Japanese anime stands
The Elbaph Arc started in Japan on Sunday 5 April 2026 at 11.15pm on Fuji TV, according to the official ONE PIECE.com announcement (28 March 2026). That is 10.15pm in Singapore. The official site files the arc from anime episode 1156 onwards, adapting the manga from volume 111, chapter 1127.
Episode 1180 aired on 27 September 2026 and was the last episode of the year. The official One Piece X account then said the anime returns in 2027, with broadcast details to follow, as Anime.com reported (27 September 2026). No month or episode number has been announced.
The break follows a production change. As Sankei Shimbun reported (27 September 2026), Toei Animation and the One Piece team said in October 2025 that the anime would air a maximum of 26 episodes a year from 2026, with no recap episodes. After Egghead ended, the anime took a break from January to March 2026 before Elbaph began in April.
So the dub has a lot of ground to cover. Episodes 1156 to 1180 have already aired in Japanese, which gives dub-only viewers a long run of weekly episodes while Japan waits for 2027.
Who is new in the Elbaph Arc
Crunchyroll describes the arc this way: after escaping Egghead, the Straw Hats sail with the Giant Warrior Pirates to Elbaph, the long-awaited Land of Giants, where new encounters and reunions unfold.
The best-known new face is Loki, the giant prince. The official site announced on 28 March 2026, at the AnimeJapan 2026 One Piece stage, that Yuichi Nakamura voices him in Japanese. The main Straw Hat cast returns, including Mayumi Tanaka as Luffy, Kazuya Nakai as Zoro and Subaru Kimura as Franky.
Crunchyroll’s announcement does not name the English cast for new characters, so check the episode credits in the app rather than trusting a cast list you see shared online.
Sub or dub: which should you watch?
If you want to stay spoiler-free with the newest anime, the Japanese episodes have already reached episode 1180, so with subtitles you can finish the 2026 run now. If you prefer English audio, the weekly dub gives you a steady Wednesday routine in Singapore for months to come.
Either way, the Japanese break is a good moment to catch up. Fans of the card game may also enjoy our look at One Piece Card Game EB-05 Heroines Edition Vol.2, and if you play on Switch, our guide to ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet covers the cooking game.
