Toei Animation’s network was accessed by an unauthorized third party on March 6 as confirmed by the studio on March 11. Several of the studio’s files were either corrupted or deleted, which led to the animators having to work again on those projects.

This, in turn, led to a delay of further episode production. The studio immediately went offline in an attempt to cut off the third party’s access to their data.

Not only did the hack affect weekly anime, but it also delayed the premiere of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the anime movie.

While Toei’s staff were doing their best to fix everything, recap episodes of all the affected anime were being aired.

Nevertheless, our favorite anime will be back up and running soon, and I hope Toei announces another release date for the DBS film too.

About One Piece

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
