One Piece Collections in Order: The Easy DVD and Blu-ray Guide (1–39)
One Piece has more than a thousand episodes, and the US home video release splits them into dozens of numbered sets. If you are starting the show or filling gaps on your shelf, it helps to know exactly which episodes and story arcs each set holds. This guide lists all the One Piece collections in order, from Collection 1 to Collection 39.
You will find a full table of episode ranges, a breakdown by saga, notes on the switch from DVD to Blu-ray + DVD combo packs, and the few episodes that are not included in any set.
Quick answer: Start with One Piece Collection 1 (episodes 1 to 26) and continue in number order. Collections 1 to 25 are DVD sets. From Collection 26 onward, each set is a Blu-ray + DVD combo. Collection 39 reaches the Wano Country arc.
How the One Piece Collections Work
In North America, One Piece was released by Funimation, now part of Crunchyroll, in numbered “Collection” sets. Each set holds about 23 to 27 uncut episodes, with Japanese audio and an English dub, so you can follow the story continuously.
The numbering is simple: each collection picks up exactly where the last one ended. Unlike some shows, where volume numbers do not match seasons, the One Piece collections in order are also the story in order. The only thing to watch is the format change at Collection 26, covered below.

One Piece DVD Collections 1 to 5: East Blue to Alabasta
The first five One Piece DVD sets cover the story from Luffy setting out to sea through the Alabasta war. This is where most fans fall in love with the show, so it is the obvious place to begin.
Collections 1 and 2: East Blue
Luffy recruits Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji across the islands of the East Blue, with classic arcs like Baratie and Arlong Park. One Piece Collection 1 covers episodes 1 to 26 and Collection 2 continues with episodes 27 to 53.
Collections 3 to 5: Into the Grand Line and Alabasta
The crew finishes East Blue, crosses Reverse Mountain and enters the Grand Line. Collection 4 brings Chopper aboard on Drum Island, and Collection 5 closes out the Alabasta war against Crocodile and Baroque Works.
One Piece Collections 6 to 9: Jaya, Skypiea and Filler Arcs
After Alabasta, the Straw Hats head for Jaya and then to the sky island of Skypiea. Collections 7 and 8 hold the Skypiea arc, and Collection 8 ends with the G-8 arc, an anime-only story set on a Marine base.
Collection 9 covers Long Ring Long Land plus two more anime-only stories, Ocean’s Dream and Foxy’s Return. If you want to follow the manga story only, these are the sets where filler is most concentrated.
One Piece Collections 10 to 13: Water 7 and Enies Lobby
Many fans rank this stretch as the best in the series. The crew reaches the shipbuilding city of Water 7, faces CP9 and storms the judicial island of Enies Lobby to rescue Robin. Collections 10 to 13 cover the full saga, ending with its aftermath.
One Piece Collections 14 to 17: Thriller Bark and Sabaody
Collection 14 opens with the short Ice Hunter filler arc before the crew lands on the haunted ship Thriller Bark. Collections 15 and 16 complete Thriller Bark, and Collection 17 covers the Sabaody Archipelago and Luffy’s stay on Amazon Lily.
One Piece Collections 18 to 21: Impel Down and Marineford
One of the most dramatic runs in the show. Luffy breaks into the prison of Impel Down, then joins the war at Marineford. Collection 21 covers the Post-War arc, including flashbacks to Luffy’s childhood with Ace and Sabo.
One Piece Collections 22 to 26: Fish-Man Island and Punk Hazard
After a two-year time skip, the Straw Hats reunite at Sabaody and dive to Fish-Man Island in Collections 22 to 24. Collection 24 also includes the Z’s Ambition filler arc and the start of Punk Hazard, which continues through Collection 26.
One Piece Blu-ray Collections 26 to 30: Dressrosa
Collection 26 is where the series moves to Blu-ray + DVD combo packs. It finishes Punk Hazard, includes the Caesar Retrieval filler and starts Dressrosa. Collections 27 to 30 complete the Dressrosa arc and the fight against Doflamingo.
Collection 26 is a transition set. Only the later episodes in it, 629 to 641, are on Blu-ray; episodes 615 to 628 are included on DVD only. From Collection 27 onward, the full set is in both formats.
One Piece Collections 31 to 36: Zou and Whole Cake Island
Collection 31 opens with the Silver Mine filler arc before the crew reaches Zou. Collection 32 adds the Marine Rookie filler and begins Whole Cake Island, which runs through Collection 36. That set also covers the Reverie and the start of Wano.
One Piece Collections 37 to 39: Wano Country
The Wano Country arc is one of the longest in the series. Collections 37 and 38 cover episodes 892 to 940, and Collection 39 continues the story from episode 941, including the clash with Big Mom and the flashbacks to Kozuki Oden.
Episodes Not Included in the One Piece Collections
A few crossover specials are missing from the US sets because of licensing:
- Episode 492: a Toriko crossover special. Collection 20 ends at 491 and Collection 21 starts at 493.
- Episode 542: the second Toriko crossover, which is widely reported as skipped in the official releases, although some listings show Collection 23 as a continuous 541 to 563.
- Episode 590: the Toriko and Dragon Ball crossover, excluded from Collection 25.
These are standalone specials, so missing them does not affect the main story.
One Piece Filler Arcs by Collection
If you want to focus on the main story, these are the anime-only arcs and the collections that contain them. Many fans enjoy them, but they can be skipped without losing the plot.
- Collection 8: G-8
- Collection 9: Ocean’s Dream and Foxy’s Return
- Collection 14: Ice Hunter
- Collection 16: Spa Island
- Collection 24: Z’s Ambition
- Collection 26: Caesar Retrieval
- Collection 31: Silver Mine
- Collection 32: Marine Rookie
Collector tip: even if you skip filler when watching, owning every set keeps your shelf complete and the spines in order.
One Piece Collections vs Season and Voyage Sets
Besides the numbered collections, the series has also been released in smaller “Season” and “Voyage” sets, each holding around a dozen episodes. These cover the same episodes as the collections, just split into smaller pieces.
For most buyers, each One Piece collection is the better value. It holds roughly twice as many episodes per box, so you need fewer sets, the spines line up neatly, and the cost per episode is usually lower. The Voyage sets can be handy if you only want a specific part of an arc, but mixing both systems on one shelf makes it harder to see which episodes you already own.
If you do own some Voyage sets, match them against the episode ranges in the table above to find the One Piece collection that picks up where they stop.
One Piece DVD vs Blu-ray: Which Should You Buy?
For Collections 1 to 25, the only US option is DVD, so the choice is simple. From Collection 26, every set includes both a Blu-ray and a DVD version of the episodes, so you get both formats in one box.
If you have a Blu-ray player, watch the Blu-ray discs in the later sets for a sharper picture. If you only have a DVD player, the same sets still work for you. Our DVD vs Blu-ray guide explains the differences in more detail.
How to Build a One Piece DVD Collection
Collecting a show this long takes planning. A few tips help:
- Buy in order. Each set continues directly from the last, so start with Collection 1 and work forward.
- Budget per arc. Group purchases by saga, such as Collections 1 to 5 for East Blue and Alabasta, so each order completes a story.
- Grab hard-to-find sets early. Some middle collections go out of print and can become harder to find than newer ones.
- Plan your shelf. Thirty-nine sets take real space. Our DVD storage ideas guide can help.
- Check the format. Sets from 26 onward are combo packs, so the spines may look slightly different from the earlier DVDs.
Our One Piece shelf lists every collection we carry in order. Out-of-stock sets can still be ordered with a 2 to 4 week delivery time, and orders over $50 ship free.
Shelving Your One Piece Collection
A full run of One Piece collections is one of the longest sets a collector can own. Each One Piece collection has its number on the spine, so shelving them in number order keeps the story in order too.
Leave space at the end of the row, since new sets continue to be released. If you are short on shelf space, consider storing completed sagas in a labeled box and keeping only the current arc on display. Collectors who also own other long anime runs often dedicate a full shelf to them, sorted by series and then by collection number.
Tips for Watching One Piece in Order
- Watch with recaps in mind. Some episodes open with short recaps of the previous story, which are easy to skip on a long binge.
- Choose dub or sub per arc. Every One Piece collection includes both, so you can switch whenever you like.
- Take breaks between sagas. The arc endings are natural pause points, and the next One Piece DVD or Blu-ray set will be waiting.
- Keep discs in order. Put each disc back in its slot before starting the next, so you never lose your place in a 1,000-episode run.
How Long Does It Take to Watch the One Piece Collections in Order?
Each episode runs about 23 minutes, including the opening and ending songs. That means Collections 1 to 38, covering 940 episodes, add up to roughly 360 hours of viewing. At two hours a day, that is about six months of watching.
The good news is that the collections give you natural break points. Finishing a saga, such as Water 7 and Enies Lobby, feels like completing a season, and it is a good moment to pick up the next sets.
Where to Start if You Are New to One Piece
Start at the beginning. One Piece rewards watching in order, because early characters, promises and mysteries pay off hundreds of episodes later. Collection 1 introduces Luffy and his first crewmates, and the story builds quickly from there.
If you already know the early story from the manga or the live-action series, you could jump to a later saga. Use the table above to find the collection where your favorite arc begins. For more anime, browse our anime section.
One Piece Collections as Gifts
A One Piece collection makes an easy gift for an anime fan, as long as you pick the right number. Ask which episode they are on, or check their shelf, then use the table above to find the next set. For someone new to the series, Collection 1 is the safe choice, and pairing it with Collection 2 finishes most of the East Blue saga.
For a fan who already owns the early sets, the later Blu-ray + DVD collections are a welcome upgrade, since they include both formats in one box. Our gifts for movie lovers guide has more ideas for anime and film fans.
