The BBC has purchased the rights to over 1,000 dubbed episodes of One Piece to place on their iPlayer platform. East Blue, Alabasta and Skypiea arcs are being added on Sunday 1st September, with 1,085 episodes to be added by the end of the year.
"It’s a really exciting move to bring the One Piece franchise to UK audiences in the coming months," BBC Three and iPlayer Controller of Youth Audiences, Fiona Campbell, commented. "With its captivating storytelling, rich characters and global fanbase, One Piece has become a cultural phenomenon and we're so excited to see how the fanbase will enjoy this huge canon of episodes available in English only on iPlayer."
The anime is available subtitled on Crunchyroll, with later episodes on Netflix, but this will be the only place you can find the dubbed episodes.
