On Saturday Aug. 22 at 9 p.m., Japanese One Piece fans will be able to view the newest addition to the now famous “Episode of” One Piece television movie series. A few years back, it would take quite a while for the west to gain access to these specials, but not this year!

On Saturday Aug. 22, One Piece fans in the U.S., Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America will be able to join in on the Episode of Sabo fun thanks to Funimation and Crunchyroll.

Funimation has announced they will be streaming One Piece – Episode of Sabo on their site and OnePieceOfficial.com on Saturday night at 1 a.m. Central Time* (that’s technically on early Sunday morning, but, timezones…). Crunchyroll also announced they would be streaming this two hour One Piece special movie, but stream times are as of yet to be announced.

If you live in the countries lucky enough to have access to Funimation and/or Crunchyroll’s One Piece streams, then be sure to check out the movie on the same day as Japan to support the industry and show Funimation and Crunchyroll that One Piece fans would like them to continue doing these kinds of amazing same-day broadcast!

In case you don’t know what the One Piece – Episode of Sabo movie will be about, or just need a reminder, check out this previous post we made about the movie’s storyline!
