One Piece anime schedule confirms the impending debut of Gear 5 – Sportskeeda

Published

Ever since One Piece manga revealed Luffy’s Gear 5, fans of the franchise have been looking forward to Toei Animation animating the same for the anime. That being said, it seems like fans would not have to wait for long. As revealed by the episode schedule, One Piece anime will debut Luffy’s Gear 5 in July 2023.
Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece follows the story of Monkey D Luffy, a boy who mistakenly ate a devil fruit and acquired the properties of rubber. Following that, he began his journey to find Gol D Roger’s treasure and take over his title as the Pirate King.

With the One Piece anime close to the end of the Wano arc, manga fans are looking forward to the Straw Hat Pirates’ captain’s return. That’s when Twitter user @unknowndud shared the episode schedule for the upcoming episodes of the anime.
As per the episode schedule, One Piece anime is set to debut Luffy’s Gear 5/Joy Boy in episode 1071. The episode will be released on Sunday, July 23, 2023, as per the release time in Japan. This means that fans will only have to wait six more weeks before they could see Luffy’s Gear 5 in the anime.
However, before that, fans will also be able to witness Kidd and Law defeat Big Mom and Raizo defeat Fukurokujo. Only after that will the anime focus on Luffy and his fight against Kaido.
While Luffy’s Gear 5 was the main focus for fans, many joked about how they were more excited about the fight between Raizo and Fukurokujo. The fandom seem to love Raizo and want to see some justice be done to his fight. While they are aware that his fight does not have much impact on the anime, they know that it is a huge deal for the character. Thus, regardless of the fact that fans are joking, they do want to watch his fight.
After learning about the episode schedule, one fan noticed how July 22, i.e., the release date of the Joy Boy episode in the United States, was special to the franchise. Apparently, July 22 had been declared as “One Piece Day” to commemorate the manga‘s first publication. Thus, it was evident to fans that the anime’s episode 1071 getting scheduled to be released on July 22 was not a coincidence.
Nevertheless, fans were not too optimistic about the episode schedule as Toei Animation has the tendency to release special recap episodes before a big fight. The same happened before the fight between Zoro and King as the anime released a recap episode. Otherwise, the anime would have been one episode closer to Luffy’s Gear 5 reveal.
Fans believed that the anime will pull this move once again for the upcoming episodes. As of now, the fandom has been expecting recap episodes before two events – Law & Kidd vs Big Mom and Luffy’s Gear 5. Additionally, there may be a chance that the anime will go on a break in the upcoming weeks, so fans tried to remain cautious of such events.

UFC news: Erin Blanchfield gives update on next fight, title hopes – MMA Junkie

Erin Blanchfield patiently awaits her next UFC assignment.
Although it’s not totally clear what that will be, Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) assumes an important matchup with Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is likely. The two flyweight combatants have established themselves as top contenders in a division that awaits a championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko while they both recover from injury.
“Yeah, it’s definitely stalling,” Blanchfield recently said during an online live stream for digital wallet platform HUMBL. “I feel like I’ve had a couple No. 1 contender fights now. But you know, I’m still pretty young and gained valuable experience in those fights. … Whether it’s an interim or not, I’ll beat (Fiorot), and then I should definitely get a title next.”
Although UFC CEO Dana White has indicated it’s next, no timeline has been revealed for Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC). Shevchenko had hand surgery in mid-September. Coincidentally, Grasso underwent hand surgery in early October.
Should there be further delays, Blanchfield wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title implemented. She’s healthy and ready to go, following a slight nasal fracture suffered in a unanimous decision win over Taila Santos in August.
“I haven’t been told about that yet,” Blanchfield said. I would definitely push for that. That’s something I’d definitely be interested in. I’m not sure when Valentina and Alexa are going to be ready to fight again. I know I think they’re on a similar timeline in their recovery. I would hope that if it ends up being longer, they’d have me and Manon fight for an interim.”

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Two men died after they were shot outside of a bar in Sacramento County early Sunday morning, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said. 
Deputies responded to Sacto By Night at 7121 Governors Circle at about 1:45 a.m. 
A group of people who were leaving the bar got into a fight outside, leading to a shooting, deputies said. 
The victims, who were two men, died at the scene, deputies said. One of them was the owner of the bar.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe a group of gang members who initially refused to leave the nightclub at closing is at the center of the incident. Those gang members apparently got involved in a fight in the parking lot, investigators said, with the suspected shooter being one of those gang members.
Witnesses described a white vehicle that took off from the scene. Deputies said the CHP located a vehicle matching the description and detained four people from that vehicle. 
The people detained have since been identified as being allegedly involved in the shooting. Several guns have been recovered. 
According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the suspects will be released once homicide and related charges are filed.
Brandon comes to CBS13 from Action News Now (KHSL/KNVN) in Chico where he spent two years as the Digital Content Manager.
