Fans of One Piece English Dub have been eagerly anticipating the next batch of English-dubbed episodes following the last release on Crunchyroll in October 2023. The release schedule for the dubbed episodes has seen some changes, impacting the usual pattern of digital releases on the Microsoft Store followed by streaming on Crunchyroll. The latest announcement by Crunchyroll has shed some light on the release schedule of the upcoming episodes. Let’s dig into the same.
One Piece English Dub Episodes 1025– 1037 Release Date
On November 21, 2023, the Microsoft Store will release a fresh batch of One Piece English-dubbed episodes after a two-month hiatus. This is a departure from the typical schedule, where episodes are initially released for digital and home video on the Microsoft Store before being streamed on Crunchyroll three to four weeks later. The episodes will be available to watch online for the majority of fans on December 12, 2023.

Luffy’s Gear Dub episodes will be out by 2024.
These highly anticipated Luffy’s Gear Dub episodes won’t make their debut until 2024, confirming fans’ eager anticipation. The absence of dubbed episodes in November has had a notable impact on the release schedule. Luffy’s Gear 5 is set to make its debut in episode 1071, so fans will have to wait patiently for it. The most recent batch of episodes, covering releases up to episode 1037, leaves the unveiling of this highly anticipated transformation for a later instalment.
One Piece English Dub: Will there be a double release in December 2023?
Some optimistic fans are hoping for a special Christmas surprise with the release of episodes 1037–1048 around the holiday season. The idea of a double release during Christmas would undoubtedly be a delightful gift for fans. However, it seems unlikely that these episodes will be released before March 2024.
The absence of dubbed episodes in November has created a gap in the release schedule, affecting the anticipated timing for future releases. The delay has contributed to a slower pace compared to previous years. Episodes 1037–1048 are now expected to be released by March 2024, providing fans with a timeline to look forward to.
One Piece English Dub and Sub Gap
Following the latest batch of episodes, the gap between the subbed and dubbed versions has decreased to 47. Although progress has been made, there is still a significant distance to cover before the gap is completely eliminated. This year has seen the release of 120 dubbed episodes (917–1036), a lower number compared to the 146 episodes released in 2022. Delays in release have played a role in this reduced count, highlighting the challenges of maintaining a consistent schedule.
As fans eagerly await the arrival of the next batch of One Piece English-dubbed episodes on Crunchyroll, the recent changes in the release schedule and the anticipation for Luffy’s Gear Dub episodes in 2024 add an extra layer of excitement. We can keep our hopes high to witness the release of another batch by December 2023.
