One Piece fans are in for a bittersweet February, as two popular movies will soon leave Netflix. After February 15, 2025, these films will no longer be available for U.S. viewers, making them harder to find on streaming platforms.
Which Movies Are Leaving Netflix?
According to What’s On Netflix, the following One Piece movies will be removed:
- One Piece Movie: The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta
- One Piece: Episode of Chopper: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura
These films cover the Alabasta Arc and the Drum Island Arc, two of the most beloved storylines in the One Piece series. The Desert Princess and the Pirates focuses on Vivi, while Episode of Chopper highlights the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey with Tony Tony Chopper.
Why These Movies Matter
These films condense long, emotionally charged arcs into short, cinematic experiences. They allow fans to enjoy the essence of the Alabasta and Drum Island storylines in a two-hour format. This is perfect for viewers who want to revisit key moments without rewatching the entire anime series.
Perfect Timing for Rewatching Iconic Arcs
For those who want to relive the Alabasta Arc and Drum Island Arc before the second season of Netflix’s live-action One Piece series, these movies are ideal. The Alabasta Arc was the first major arc to span over 60 chapters and nearly 40 episodes. It introduced high stakes and deep emotional moments that would shape the future of One Piece. This arc, along with the Whisky Peak Arc, is crucial to understanding Vivi’s journey and the series’ development.
More One Piece Content Still on Netflix
While these two films are leaving, there’s still plenty of One Piece content available on Netflix. The anime series, produced by Toei Animation, remains on the platform. Fans can also enjoy the special One Piece Fan Letter, celebrating the franchise’s milestones.
Additionally, Netflix is working on a new anime series produced by Wit Studio, creators of Attack on Titan and Spy × Family. Season 2 of the live-action series is also set to release in 2025. Meanwhile, the One Piece manga continues to be updated on platforms like Viz Media and Manga Plus.
Conclusion: Saying Goodbye with Hope
Although losing these two One Piece movies is a disappointment, there’s still a wealth of content to explore. With new shows and manga chapters on the way, the adventure continues. Fans can look forward to even more One Piece stories, both in animation and live-action.
