Eyecatchers

An also known as a bumper, is a segment used to segue a TV program into and out of its regular commercial breaks. They tend to be particularly elaborate for anime and tokusatsu shows, often being made with original footage and audio (unlike most Western counterparts, which reuse preexisting footage and audio from a network announcer).
Like most half-hour anime, One Piece is aired with one commercial break per episode, corresponding to two eyecatchers. Over time, many different eyecatchers have been aired, though nearly all of them spotlight an individual Straw Hat together with a unique leitmotif.
==First Set==
The first eyecatcher format spans from the Romance Dawn Arc to the G-8 Arc (Episode 1 to Episode 206): the Straw Hat Pirates stand on a beach watching the sunset beside the Going Merry, while wanted posters (different from the ones in the story) fly in the wind, until a particular Straw Hat's comes into view.
(Initially, the beach depicted only the first five Straw Hats—Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. Chopper was added in Episode 90, while Robin was added in Episode 130.)
During the Arabasta Saga, Nefertari Vivi and Karoo received a joint eyecatcher, complete with their own leitmotif (though they were never depicted among the figures on the beach). This was discontinued after they fully parted ways with the crew in Episode 130.
===First Appearance of Each Eyecatcher===
Character 	First Appearance
Monkey D. Luffy 	Episode 1
Roronoa Zoro 	Episode 3
Nami 	Episode 8
Usopp 	Episode 17
Sanji 	Episode 20
Nefertari Vivi and Karoo	Episode 67
Tony Tony Chopper 	Episode 90
Nico Robin 	Episode 131
===The End of the First Set===
===Special Edition===
In 2012, the series began re-airing from Episode 1, in a "Special Edition" remastering the original 4:3 (NTSC) resolution to 16:9 (HDTV). The eyecatchers were cropped accordingly, at the top of the screen, but otherwise unchanged. In the first 47 episodes, the "Special Edition" wordmark in Japanese katakana (which was later removed in the digital print) was added to the One Piece logo.
(As this edition stopped at Episode 53, only the first five Straw Hats' eyecatchers were remastered. The rest of the episodes can only be seen internationally.)
==Second Set==
The second eyecatcher format spans from the Long Ring Long Land Arc to the Post-War Arc (Episode 207 to Episode 516), closing out the pre-timeskip era as a whole: a particular Straw Hat is observed through a telescope, and eventually reacts, whereupon the telescope pans to some items representing them.
Notably, these eyecatchers are the first to feature Franky and Brook, complete with new leitmotifs; otherwise, they use the same leitmotifs as the first set.
===Activity, special items for each crewmember and first appearance of each eyecatcher===
Character 	Action(s) 	Special Items 	First Appearance
Monkey D. Luffy 	Gives the telescope a big grin. 	His hat and vest. 	Episode 207
Roronoa Zoro 	Yawns, then gives the telescope a vaguely annoyed look. 	Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Yubashiri (replaced by Shusui later on). 	Episode 244; updated in Episode 381
Nami 	Catches a falling 10,000 note, then gives the telescope a stingy look. 	A pinwheel, some tangerines, and a map (with compass, set square, and pen). 	Episode 244
Usopp 	Snaps his goggles' lenses open, blinks, then takes the goggles off with a smile. 	His sniper goggles and a rapidly-filling dartboard (both hanging from the tree outside Kaya's mansion). 	Episode 246
Sanji 	Wiggles his eyebrow, then draws on his cigarette, smiles, and covers the telescope with his left hand. 	A cooked meal. 	Episode 246
Tony Tony Chopper	Inspects the telescope, panics on realizing he is being watched, and runs to "hide" in his typical backwards style. 	A sakura tree and his medical pack. 	Episode 245
Nico Robin 	Turns around, and gives a soft smile over her shoulder. 	A set of books, one flipping by itself as her blooming arms wheel above. 	Episode 243
Franky 	Shakes his hair, grins, then jumps back to do his signature "Super" pose. 	Two cola bottles among a set of gears and pipes labeled "BF"; after both bottles pop their caps, two of the pipes spring leaks.	Episode 330
Brook 	Turns around with a fixed grin, while the telescope zooms out showing him running across water, doffing his hat as he does.	His violin, seated beside some music sheets and a table set for afternoon tea. 	Episode 381
===The Straw Hats in the Second Set===
===The Items in the Second Set===
==Third Set==
The third eyecatcher format, opening the post-timeskip era, spans from the Return to Sabaody Arc to the Dressrosa Arc (Episode 517 to Episode 746): something belonging to a specific Straw Hat is depicted on a counter (beside some coins), while all of the Straw Hats' shadows file past, until the last in line steps into view, picks up the item, and joins the others outside the Thousand Sunny. This format is notably more focused on the Straw Hats as a collective, retiring the previous eyecatchers' individualized leitmotifs in favor of a new melody for the entire crew.
In addition, a tenth "supplementary" eyecatcher closes each commercial break from Episode 535 on; this eyecatcher does not focus on any of the Straw Hats, but instead depicts the series logo assembling itself piece by piece.
(From Episode 579 on, the melody was adjusted to sound more "adventurous", with heavier emphasis on the brass instruments.)

==Translation and Dub Issues==
The 4Kids dub discarded Toei's eyecatchers, instead making its own bumpers; a separate set of bumpers were made for its Cartoon Network airings, particularly during its time on the Toonami block.
In contrast, the Funimation dub retains Toei's eyecatchers, replacing the original One Piece logo with an alternative version with the Shonen Jump branding; during its television airings, it often used them and the Toonami bumpers together (as American television typically mandates two commercial breaks for half-hour programs).
==Trivia==
*On very rare occasions, eyecatchers have been known to forgo their standard music and instead continue music from the episode proper. Instances of this include Episode 151 (which extends Mihawk's theme over a Zoro eyecatcher) and Episode 234 (which extends "Overtaken" over a Luffy eyecatcher).
*Starting in 2009, the Dream 9 logo is shown. That was later changed to the Strong 9 logo in 2014 and the Adventure Sunday logo in 2016.
*The leitmotif used in Episode 336's Chopper Man eyecatcher, would later be re-used in Bartolomeo's eyecatcher, and Episode 917's eyecatcher.
===First Set===
*None of the posters use the portraits from the Straw Hats' in-story wanted posters (indeed, during this eyecatcher's entire run, only Luffy, Zoro, and Robin carried bounties at all).
*Apart from Luffy's, each Straw Hat's eyecatcher was introduced in either the episode they join Luffy, or the episode immediately after; the exception is Sanji, whose eyecatcher was introduced with his debut episode (ten episodes before his official joining).
*Throughout the series, the eyecatchers' wanted poster occasionally did not match its theme music.
**In Episode 1, Luffy's poster came up twice, but Zoro's theme played in the first time.
**In Episode 3, Luffy's theme played when Zoro's poster came up.
**In Episode 6, Luffy's and Zoro's themes are reversed.
**In Episode 8, Nami's theme played when Zoro's poster came up.
**In Episode 9, Luffy and Nami's posters are seen, but Zoro's theme is playing.
**In Episodes 13 to 15, Zoro's theme played when Luffy's poster came up.
**In Episodes 139 and 143, Robin's theme played when Zoro's poster came up.
*Episode 24 is the first episode to not have Luffy's eyecatcher in it.
===Second Set===
*Episodes 207-242 showed only Luffy's eyecatcher, but during Episode 207 both Chopper's and Sanji's themes were playing. The eyecatchers did not update to feature the other Straw Hat Pirates until Episode 243.
*Nami and Sanji are portrayed with the outfits they wore during the Water 7 Arc (for Nami, her second outfit), and the eyecatchers keep them in these outfits for the remainder of their use.
*Franky's eyecatcher shows a bottle cap fly off one of the cola bottles as it fizzes over. Then, a glass pipe full of cola cracks, causing a leak to spurt out. It is difficult to observe what happened to the pipe at first glance, but one can make out that the bottle cap ricochets off the pipe, fracturing it.
*In Zoro's eyecatcher, when his three swords were shown, his sword Yubashiri was one of them. Later on, when Yubashiri was destroyed and he got his next sword, Shusui, the swords were changed in the eyecatcher to fit the story.
*Brook's eyecatcher is the only one where it shows a different sky background and the telescope moves upward to show his special items.
*At 310 episodes, this set of eyecatchers has so far made the most appearances.
===Third Set===
*Episodes 517-532 showed only Luffy's new eyecatcher as well.
*In Brook's eyecatcher, Brook picks up a violin, but in the series he is holding a guitar. Brook is still associated with his violin, but is now more commonly seen as a guitarist after gaining his rock star image as the "Soul King".
===Fourth Set===
*The beginning of the 4th set of eyecatchers resemble the first volume of the From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc cover story which show the News Coo deliver the news, however the anime does not show Surume in the background.
**Usopp's eyecatcher background resemble the fourth volume, that show the former Usopp Pirates and Kaya.
*Episode 747 is the first time a new set of eyecatchers is introduced with Luffy's eyecatcher only appearing once, excluding special eyecatchers.
*Bartolomeo's eyecatcher shows the same scene as the first eyecatchers in the series (Episodes 1 - 206), except with the Going Luffy-senpai docked instead of the Going Merry, and without his crew members.
*Episodes 807 and 808 are the only regular episodes so far with more than two eyecatchers, both having six each.
**As both episodes aired in a one hour special, this was meant to use all the Straw Hats' eyecatchers at least once.
*Starting from Episode 879, Luffy's wanted poster was updated to his new bounty, revealed later on the same episode.
**Despite Sanji's bounty (and poster) undergoing changes on the previous episode, the set finished airing before Sanji's eyecatcher could be updated as well.
*During the Cidre Guild Arc, this set appeared again, making this the first time a set has been reused after being changed.
===Fifth Set===
*The Straw Hats poses in Luffy's end card are the same as those from the cover of Volume 91, though Franky's slightly altered.
*Unlike the previous sets, which featured all the current Straw Hat Pirates individually and occasionally some other characters, this set had only two versions, one for Luffy and one for Zoro. Their respective leitmotifs also changed to Japanese-inspired versions, in order to fit with the Wano Country's culture.
===Sixth Set===
*Like the previous set, this set had only two versions, one for Luffy and one for Sanji.
===Seventh Set===
*Luffy's card, the Boar, represent the month of July, the same month the series started in 1997.
*Zoro's card, the Sake cup, represent the month of September, the same month Chapter 6, titled "The First", was released in 1997.
*Chopper and Law share the Deer card, while Robin and Kid share the Butterflies card.
*The eyecatchers for Yamato, Jinbe and Kid, were given their own leitmotifs, starting from Episode 1063, Episode 1073, and Episode 1080, respectively.
===Eighth Set===
*This is the first, and so far only, set in which Luffy's eyecatcher wasn't the first featured.
**Luffy's eyecatcher appeared before this eyecatcher became an official set in the anime, during special episodes, with Luffy's bounty at that time.
*At three episodes (seven if counting its prior usage in special episodes), this is the eyecatcher set with the fewest number of appearances.
**In addition, this the first, and so far only set that didn't show end cards highlighting every member of the Straw Hat Pirates before being retired. Luffy, Zoro, and Jinbe, were the only ones to receive an end card.
