The sheet is great, but for some arcs (early ones), the original One Piece with a filler guide is actually better because One Pace early edits were too aggressive.
Better decision matrix:
| Arc | Use One Pace? | Alternative | |-----|---------------|-------------| | East Blue | ❌ (overcut) | Original episodes 1–61, skip fillers (e.g., Warship Island) | | Alabasta | ⚠️ (good but missing some gags) | One Pace v2 if available | | Skypiea | ✅ Yes | - | | Thriller Bark | ✅ Yes | - | | Dressrosa | ✅✅ Essential | One Pace only | | Wano | ⚠️ (incomplete) | Original + skip recap |

In late 2024 and early 2025, the One Pace team (alongside community archivist Zlor) released a massive overhaul of their distribution spreadsheet.

These arcs suffered the most in the original anime due Toei's pacing. One Pace transforms them into masterpieces.
The new sheet uses a traffic light system that is brutally honest.
But here is the magic: The BETTER sheet now includes "Alternative Pace" notes. For Red arcs, they link to "One Piece Kai" or specific "Episode of" specials. You never hit a dead end. In late 2024 and early 2025, the One
