Miyu Irino's Voice Has Brought Many Characters To Life

​​​​​​Miyu Irino's voice acting roles are not limited to just anime. He has given voice to several video game characters.

  • Sora from Kingdom Hearts
  • Cyno from Genshin Impact
  • Ritsu from Mob Psycho
  • Ishida Shouya from A Silent Voice
  • Sugawara from Haikyuu!!!
  • Sena from Eyeshield 21
  • Jintan from The Flower We Saw That Day
  • Young Minato from Naruto, Naruto Shippuden

With an impressive track record, Miyu Irino will have no problem taking over Sabo's role in One Piece. As more and more new characters are introduced in the story, fans can expect to see more announcements concerning voice actors.

Fans will have to wait to hear more from Sabo's voice actor as Episode 1117 has been delayed by a week.

The One Piece Anime Is Currently Focused On the Egghead Arc

The Egghead arc has been a complete surprise package. After the action-packed Wano Country arc, expectations were high. It is safe to say that the Egghead arc has matched the hype generated from the previous arc. It may be difficult to supplant Wano in terms of overall quality, but the Egghead arc certainly has the potential to do it.

The One Piece anime has been on an amazing run in 2024. Not only has it blown other anime out of the water, but it has surpassed all kinds of TV shows. According to IMBb, One Piece has been the highest-rated show. This is a big accomplishment for the series, as it managed to fend off competition from the likes of The Boys, The Bear, and House of the Dragon to claim the top spot. The future of One Piece is looking bright, and with even more content on the way, its fame will only continue to increase.

For starters, the One Piece Live Action has been greenlit for another season, meaning Inaki and the rest of the cast will be back. Additionally, fans can expect to see some new faces in the show as the Straw Hats will enter the Grand Line. ​​​​​​Aside from the live-action project, a One Piece remake is in the works. Wit Studio is producing the anime, while Netflix will be distributing it. One thing is clear: it is a great time to be a One Piece fan.
