      Recently, the popular Mexican TV station Televista Canal 5 has brought back One Piece, after being absent from the schedule since 2008-ish. However, they are airing Weekdays at 3:30 and 4:00 AM. It should be noted that the Latino Spanish dub of One Piece is based upon the 4Kids in terms of the visuals, but has a script that is a hybrid of both the Japanese and 4kids scripts (having no swear words and tamer language, but using Zoro and the Spanish equivalent to "devil's fruit". The show also aired on Cartoon Network LA, with a Spanish dubbed version of the infamous "Rap", but airing on Canal 5 used a dubbed version of "We Are" and "Memories".

      Here's where things get interesting. Only episodes 1-52 (JAP 1-83) aired on Latino TV during its run, but currently never before seen episodes have been airing. Some rumors have been flying around that episodes past 105 (JAP 144) could be based off the Funimation edited dub that aired on Cartoon Network US in 2008.

      If enough people demand that One Piece be aired at a decent time on Canal 5, and gains some decent viewers, this may bring a North American revival of One Piece to TV.

      Perhaps these rumors are just rumors, but at least having One Piece back on TV in North America in some form or another is somewhat exciting news (especially with everybody being worried about the show's future in the Americas).

        Yeah. It pisses me off that they STILL use 4kids episodes.

          Toei has been focusing on the Latin Market for a while now. Isn't DB Kai getting released in Mexico sometime this year? They reworked the French dub so seeing them allow the airing of that hack job is a bit disheartening.

            Haven't they been airing "One Piece" during that time for a while? I don't think it's anything recent. I'd like to hear what someone from Mexico has to say about this and the never-before-seen episodes.

            I would assume a a Latin American version based on the FUNimation in better timeslots would happen with a revival on North American TV sooner than the other way around, but you never know.

              These airings have just started the beginning of this year in Canal 5. Here are some links from Mexican viewers in regards to these episodes.

              Make what you will of it, but as previously mentioned, Dragonball Z Kai is coming to Cartoon Network and Canal 5 very soon and it has been confirmed that they are using Funimation scripts.

              Perhaps Canal 5 is just "burning off" these 4kids episodes in such a bad slot because they know that most people despise the 4kids edits, and will move the show to a better time next to DBZKai with less edited episodes. Just grasping at straws, but it could be possible.

                This is a nice development. I'd love to see a revival of "One Piece" in Latin America, and a redub of those first seasons based on the FUNimation dub.

                  Is there a reason like rights that they're using the 4kids version instead of the Funimation version?

                    That dub was made years ago before FUNimation had "One Piece" so they're probably just using what's available. Maybe down the line they'll use the FUNimation dub for those first seasons, but I wouldn't know the circumstances.

                      In response to Hiroviod, the reason these episodes are based upon the 4kids dub is that they were dubbed sometime in Late 2007-early 2008, when the Funimation dub just started premiering.

                      Also, as an added note, the original Dragonball Z series (not Kai) has also recently made a comeback to Canal 5, most likely in preparation for DBZKai, at a much more reasonable time than One Piece at 13:30 (1:30p) and 15:00 (3:00p), meaning that One Piece could easily be slotted next to these airings in the near future.

                        So is this mainly based on speculation rather than whats actually going to happen?

                        It would be cool if you did get more but don't get your hopes up

                          Trust me, I've been a fan of One Piece for about 7 years and I'm used to many disappointments (I'm actually not from Mexico, but I am interested in the international affairs of One Piece).

                          Although this situation intrigues me because the latino dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai that is set to premiere soon is going to be based off of the Funimation dub, and new episodes of One Piece just happen to be airing all of the sudden. This leads me to believe that Funimation made a deal similarly with Latino dubbers and Kai.

                            They're a tv station. I doubt they know much about the anime fandom to even know the difference between dubs.

                            One Piece is in a graveyard slot because… well, why do YOU think shows get put on graveyard slots for?

                              Well similarly One Piece is also heading back to television in Spain.
