One Piece has a unique history on Cartoon Network India. After a brief run in 2006 on the Toonami block, the 4Kids version of the series went off the air with no hope of returning.

The show made a surprise return on Cartoon Network India in 2024 by jumping straight into the Land of Wano arc. However, after broadcasting 52 episodes (out of 197), CN India decided to take viewers back to the beginning of Luffy’s journey with the One Piece East Blue Saga (Season 1).

The channel kicked off a strategic social media campaign on 23rd November 2024 with the release of the East Blue Saga trailer on its social handles and YouTube. The show premiered on Sunday, December 8th, 2024, at 1:00 PM, airing 5 episodes in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Comparison with the Old CN India’s Broadcast (From 2006)

Before its 2024 revival, One Piece had previously aired on Cartoon Network India. The series premiered on May 29, 2006, at 6:00 PM 1 2 on CN India’s Toonami block. It was broadcast in Hindi and English dubs, as only two language feeds were available. The show’s opening theme used the 4Kids English dubbed version of the song, as this version of the show was acquired from 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.

The show aired up to the Arlong Park Arc, after which it stopped airing on the Toonami block. Additionally, many episodes were skipped in the 2006 broadcast because the 4Kids version was heavily censored, resulting in just 44 episodes (out of 61) in the first season. The show’s license expired in 2007 when 4Kids Entertainment, Inc., transferred the rights to Funimation.
