The One Piece Jump Festa 2023 Super Stage is scheduled to begin at 5 PM JST on Sunday, December 18, 2022. The panel will run for 60 minutes, ending at 6 PM JST per Jump Festa’s official website and schedule. Unlike the My Hero Academia Super Stage EX, the One Piece Super Stage EX seems to have no stipulations on only a certain portion of the panel being streamed.
Non-attendees can, as in previous years, watch specific Jump Festa 2023 events via Jump Festa's official website, smartphone app, or YouTube channel.
The panel is scheduled to begin at the times listed below:
- Pacific Standard Time: 12AM, Sunday, December 18
- Eastern Standard Time: 3 AM, Sunday, December 18
- Greenwich Mean Time: 8 AM, Sunday, December 18

What to expect and panel guests
Currently announced panel guests include the entire Straw Hat crew. This includes Jinbe, the most recent addition to the One Piece series, having officially joined as the Onigashima Raid started. There will also be a special performance by Uta from Film: Red, likely meaning that idol Ado, the singing voice for Uta, will also be present.
The full list of currently confirmed attendees is as follows:
- Mayumi Tanaka (Monkey D. Luffy)
- Kazuya Nakai (Roronoa Zoro)
- Akemi Okamura (Nami)
- Kappei Yamaguchi (Usopp)
- Hiroaki Hirata (Sanji)
- Ikue Otani (Tony Tony Chopper)
- Yuriko Yamaguchi (Nico Robin)
- Kazuki Yao (Franky)
- Cho (Brook)
- Katsutoshi Houki (Jinbei)
There are currently no veritable rumors, leaks, or news of what to expect at the Jump Festa 2023 Panel. Beyond the performance from Uta, fans can likely expect a message and/or illustration from Eiichiro Oda to be read aloud to fans, as is tradition for the series’ Jump Festa presence. The message will most likely celebrate the success of Film: Red while also teasing what's to come for the series' manga in 2023.
With One Piece Film: Red also having been released this year, it’s unlikely that any new film project for the series will be announced at this year’s panel. However, the anime’s Onigashima Raid will likely be reaching its final stages around the time of Jump Festa 2023. With this in mind, a trailer or teaser for the final stages of the raid is certainly on the table.
