The Elbaph Arc is the second arc of the Final Saga and is currently airing on Crunchyroll. It began on April 5, 2026 with episode 1156 and is the long-anticipated visit to Elbaph — the island of giants — first foreshadowed in the East Blue Saga over 20 years of broadcast time ago. As an ongoing arc with no filler so far, episode counts and runtime will continue updating as new episodes air weekly.
What Happens in the Elbaph Arc
Following Dr. Vegapunk's broadcast and the Straw Hat Pirates' escape from Egghead, the crew sets course for Elbaph — the homeland of the giant race and one of the most-foreshadowed locations in the entire series. Elbaph has been referenced from the Little Garden Arc (episodes 70-77) onward, when the Straw Hats first met the giant warriors Dorry and Brogy and learned of the legendary warrior nation in the New World. Two-plus decades of broadcast later, Luffy and the crew finally arrive.
Elbaph is established in earlier arcs as the home of the Giant Warrior Pirates and the cultural center of giant-kind. Recurring characters expected to play roles in the arc include Dorry and Brogy (last seen in passing during the Whole Cake and Wano arcs), the warrior priest Hajrudin (a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet introduced in Dressrosa), and the broader political structure of the giants — a society organized around honor combat, religious tradition, and the legendary "Sun God" myth that ties directly into the broader Joy Boy lore established in Wano and Egghead.
The arc is also expected to continue the Final Saga's larger throughline — the Five Elders' pursuit of Vegapunk's research, the Void Century reveals, and the converging conflict between the Straw Hats and the World Government. Episode counts, plot developments, and arc length will continue updating as new episodes air; this guide is updated weekly.
Filler & Canon Breakdown
The Elbaph Arc currently contains zero filler episodes. Toei has continued the no-filler pace established during Egghead, and all aired episodes so far are direct manga adaptations. As an ongoing arc, this status may change — any future anime-original episodes will be flagged here and on the filler list as soon as they air.
