One Piece to remaster Fishman Island Arc, reducing episodes from 62 to 21

The anime "One Piece" will release a remastered version of the Fishman Island Arc, which has been criticized as one of the weakest arcs in the series. The remaster will reduce the original 62 episodes to 21, aiming to enhance the viewing experience. Key issues with the original arc include a lack of tension, as the villains are seen as weak against the upgraded Straw Hats. Additionally, character storylines, such as Sanji's exaggerated nosebleed incidents and Jimbei's lengthy backstory, have been criticized for being poorly executed. Fans hope the remaster will address these concerns, particularly by reducing the annoying traits of Princess Shirahoshi. The remastered Fishman Island arc will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll starting November 3rd.
