One Piece anime is current on a 6-month break with its return date schedule for April 2025. For the meantime a remastered version of One Piece fishman island arc is airing weekly which might be boring for fans who are looking for some new content, well we have a good news for those fans.
This week, One Piece animators, Dorian Coulon and Julien Cortey, who works on One Piece in France, announced the establishment of Toro Animation Studio (TōRō) and shared their initial project trailer on X (formerly Twitter).
The debut project is an animated promotional trailer for the forthcoming French manga titled Instinct, created by the well-known One Piece enthusiast and YouTuber, Inoxtag. The trailer quickly gained popularity online and received acclaim for its smooth animation and dynamic fight sequences.
Coulon and Cortey are highly esteemed in the anime fandom for their contributions to notable series such as Attack on Titan, Black Clover, Jujutsu Kaisen, Boruto, and One Piece. Coulon played a significant role in the memorable Episode 1015 of One Piece, where he was credited with the layout and key animation during the scene where Luffy walks past Kaido and Big Mom as they approach him.
Cortey also contributed to One Piece Episode 1017, where he performed key animation for Law’s attack on Kaido.
The Instinct comic was scripted by Inoxtag and illustrated by Charles Compain. The manga is available for purchase from this link. The release date in France is November 21 and here is a synopsis: Haki, aged 19, is gifted with the ability to understand the intentions of others. He views Taura as those around him and is compelled to endure the wickedness of mankind helplessly. Upon being told he contracted an incurable virus and that he would only be alive for a few months, he comes across Luna who happens to be a young girl, and gives him a vision of a different world. But what will it cost?
