The wait has an end, one piece is back: after episode 1,123, which after half a year of absence served as a summary of the current status in the Eggead Arc, last Sunday with episode 1.124 was finally correct.
The one-Piece weekend not only meant a return, but also several farewells. There was also a change behind the scenes that should change the future appearance of the anime sustainably and is already causing discussions.
One Piece: The second half of Egghead runs under a new director
Since the beginning of the WANO arc up to and including the first half of the Egghead, Tatsuya Nagamine has been responsible as co-director One Piece.
After Nagamine had already shown the Dragon Ball super: Broly-Kinofilm what he had on the box, he finally cemented his name as a top director. The three best rated one Piece episodes were all created under his direction at the IMDB film and series database.

One Piece’s anime will soon continue and celebrate this with an official trailer to the Egghead Arc
Of course, the content of the episodes also has something to do with it. The approximately five-year-old Nagamine era UST in the eyes of the community but also the period in which the animation quality and the general style of the anime were raised to a new level.
Accordingly, the reactions are also based on his departure. The Influence that nagamines on the quality of the one piece anime had exercised, could not be underestimated – some fans see no less than “the end of an era” when changing the direction.

It is not officially known why Nagamine is leaving the One Piece ship. According to rumors, the director should devote himself to new (and old) projects; It is conceivable, for example, that Nagamine will take care of a new Digimon or Doremi series in the future.
With Wataru Matsumi, a rather blank leaf takes its place and should at least partially take on responsibility for the Egghead Arc.
The greatest role that Matsumi previously took on was a director of the One Piece Film: Ed. Also for the fight between Shanks and Eustass Kid in Animefolge 1.112 was Matsumi.
