The first four seasons of the iconic anime masterpiece One Piece will leave Netflix next month.

According to Anime Dork, Episodes 1 to 130, which cover the East Blue arc through the Alabasta Saga, will no longer be available on Netflix after Feb. 11. The departure of Seasons 1-4 of One Piece is quite puzzling because Seasons 5-10 only joined the platform back in May 2022.

One Piece Fans Can Still Enjoy the Manga

One of shōnen's Big Three and the best-selling manga of all time with over 516 million copies in circulation globally, Eiichiro Oda's One Piece first appeared in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1997. The ongoing story, which stands at well-over 1,000 individual chapters, follows Monkey D. Luffy, a young captain with a body made out of rubber and a dream to be the next King of the Pirates, and his colorful pirate crew as they sail across the Grand Line in search of the titular hidden treasure. While the plot has entered its final major arc, Oda has reinsured fans and readers that the One Piece manga will not end anytime soon.

Toei Animation premiered its adaptation of One Piece in October 1999, and the show has become a foundational cornerstone of the anime community. The series currently stands as one of the front-runners in the Best Continuing Series category at this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards, alongside Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Attack on Titan: The Final Season. Voting is currently open to the public on Crunchyroll's website, with the actual announcement of the winners scheduled for March 4.
