I think I may need to find the balance between bullying myself and convincing myself that I'm the world's first International Treasure.

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, wanted his own anime remade from scratch, even though the original already runs more than 1,160 episodes. The reason is money. One Piece is a franchise worth around 20 billion dollars, and a new fan in 2026 has almost no way in.

Start the original anime today and you face over 460 hours of television, most of it drawn in the boxy old format that aired on Sunday mornings back in 1999. George Wada, who runs WIT Studio, said it straight in an interview: a teenager raised on modern shows struggles to sit through those early episodes. The story is as good as ever; the way in is what broke.

That broken door sits on a fortune. The One Piece manga has sold more than 600 million copies, which makes it the best-selling comic ever sold in book form, ahead of even Superman. Doraemon, the next manga on the list, sits at roughly half that. The video games on their own have pulled in 4.3 billion dollars, and the comic is the engine that drives the whole thing. Netflix wants far more people on board.

Netflix already tested whether it could open that door wider. Its live-action One Piece, out in 2023, cost about 18 million dollars an episode, more than Game of Thrones, one of the most expensive shows it had ever made. It worked. The series became the most-watched show in 44 countries and the only English-language show to ever land at number one in Japan. Season 2 pulled 136 million viewing hours in its first six days this past March.

So here comes the animated version. WIT Studio, the team behind Attack on Titan and Spy x Family, is rebuilding the opening of the story from zero. The plan is seven episodes, about five hours total, out in February 2027. They cover the same East Blue arc the old 1999 anime needed dozens of episodes to tell.

Look past the teaser and the bright blue sky everyone is sharing today, and the real move is simple. Netflix is swapping a 460-hour wall for a five-hour door, and the house behind it is worth 20 billion dollars.

For the past 16 years, WWE has been my home. It’s where I grew up, found myself, failed, learned, and got to live out things the younger version of me could only dream about.

When I first walked into FCW, I just wanted a chance to prove I belonged and to bring something different to professional wrestling. That chance became a life full of moments I’ll carry with me forever — WrestleMania, championships, King of the Ring, arenas around the world, and the gift of connecting with all of you by being myself.

The New Day gave me a bond with @TrueKofi and @WWEBigE that I’ll cherish for life. You believed in us, even when our ideas were wild, and because of that, we got to show people that being unapologetically yourself is a strength.

UpUpDownDown became another piece of that same mission: a place for joy, friendship, and humanity. I’m so thankful to everyone, past and present, who helped build it brick by brick.

To the locker room, producers, trainers, crew, camera teams, ring crew, everyone behind the scenes, and the props department - thank you. WWE has the most special and hardest working props department that youll ever find. Love you guys and none of this happens without you.

And to everyone who has been part of this ride: thank you for believing in me. Thank you for letting me be Xavier Woods. Thank you for giving me the confidence… to walk away as Austin Creed.
