For years, anime fans have debated whether One Piece, one of the longest-running anime series of all time, actually has seasons. Many viewers assume that because the show has been continuously airing since 1999 with over 1,000 episodes, it doesn't follow a traditional seasonal structure. However, this video sets the record straight with concrete evidence that One Piece does indeed have seasons.

The confusion often stems from the fact that One Piece airs year-round without the typical seasonal breaks that other anime series take. Unlike shows that run for 12-24 episodes and then pause for months, One Piece has maintained a near-continuous broadcast schedule. However, the series is still officially divided into seasons by production companies and streaming platforms, with each season typically encompassing specific story arcs from the manga. Understanding this structure helps fans better navigate the massive episode catalog and appreciate how the series is organized behind the scenes.
