One Piece animator \u201ctaking a break\u201d due to storyboard issues CrunchyrollOne Piece animator Vincent Chansard is reportedly taking a break from the studio \u2013 but he\u2019ll return for one of the manga\u2019s most popular fights. In November 2023, shortly before the Final Saga of One Piece began, Chansard was confirmed to join Toei Animation Studio for a full year. The renowned animator previously worked for MAPPA in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17; specifically, Episode 1109 featuring Zoro vs S-Hawk. The Wano and Final Saga of One Piece has improved the show\u2019s visuals significantly. However, Toei Animation studio has been heavily modifying the animator\u2019s storyboards, which left Chansard frustrated. He\u2019s set to rejoin the team during one of the most hyped fights of the Final Saga, Luffy vs Kizaru. The One Piece leaker wrote: \u201cVincent Chansard announced that he\u2019s taking a break from One Piece after expressing frustration over his action storyboard being heavily modified, almost to the point of erasure. He\u2019ll return for the Luffy vs. Kizaru fight, and in the meantime, he\u2019ll be working on other shows.\u201d Fans have been left disappointed, given this is the second time a fan-favorite animator has left the One Piece team. In July 2024, Henry Thurlow (who directed the epic Law and Kid vs. Big Mom episode) left Toei Studio. One fan complained, \u201cFirst with Henry, then with Vincent. Why are they getting this treatment when they carried out some of the fights? This is just dogsh*t.\u201d \u201cVincent was excited for an upcoming fight (most likely Garp vs. Aokiji) and has been talking about it for months. He had many ideas he wanted to implement. Someone at Toei basically scrapped most of his ideas and kept very little. We don\u2019t know who, but it was not the director,\u201d explained another. Another also wrote, \u201cI don\u2019t understand Toei sometimes man. Just when I thought things were going up we lost Henry and now Vincent (for a period of time).\u201d For more from One Piece, check out the release date and spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1123.
