Shonen anime have always been a huge part of the anime world, with classics like Dragon Ball Z and newer hits like Demon Slayer leading the way.
Recently, remakes of these popular series have become more common, with Netflix’s upcoming One Piece adaptation being one of the most talked-about projects.
But beyond these big names, there are many other shonen anime that could benefit from a fresh remake, whether to update their stories for modern audiences or to finally give fans the complete adaptations they’ve been hoping for.
Older shonen anime, in particular, could be improved with remakes that make their often complicated plots easier to follow for today’s viewers.
By upgrading the animation, pacing, and storytelling, these classic series could get a new life, appealing to both longtime fans and those who are discovering them for the first time.
A remake could also solve some of the problems from the original versions, such as long filler episodes or inconsistencies in the story.
On top of that, several shonen anime from the past never got the chance to fully adapt their manga, leaving fans with unfinished stories.
A new animated version could give these series a second chance to complete their story arcs, allowing both old and new fans to enjoy the full experience.
Bringing these unfinished tales back to life with a remake could renew interest in beloved franchises and ensure that they continue to be appreciated by fans for years to come.
1) Bleach
Bleach was once part of the shonen big three alongside Naruto and One Piece, but it didn’t have the same staying power.
With the rise of darker shonen anime like Demon Slayer, Bleach now feels more relevant than ever. The recent release of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has also brought back its popularity, reminding fans why the series was so beloved.
This renewed interest has led many fans to call for a remake of the original Bleach anime. A new version could cut out unnecessary filler episodes and focus on the main story, while also improving the iconic fight scenes.
Bleach (Studio Pierrot)
This would create a smoother, more engaging experience for both longtime fans and newcomers who want to explore the series.
Some fans even believe Bleach is more deserving of a remake than One Piece, which recently received a live-action adaptation.
A refreshed Bleach series could take advantage of its current momentum, introducing the story to a new audience while offering older fans a chance to experience it again in an updated, polished form.
2) The Promised Neverland
The Promised Neverland was once a highly praised anime and manga series. However, the ending of the manga was not well received by many fans, and the anime’s second season made things worse.
The second season rushed through and condensed the later parts of the story, leading to widespread disappointment and making the manga’s ending seem better in comparison.
Despite being relatively recent, fans are eager for a new version of the series. A remake of The Promised Neverland should faithfully adapt the entire manga, addressing the issues where the first anime either rushed or skipped important parts of the story.
The Promised Neverland (CloverWorks)
It’s important that this new version provides a better ending, offering a satisfying conclusion that the original anime failed to deliver.
Given that both the manga and anime are still fresh in memory, there is a strong case for remaking the series.
Creating a new version of The Promised Neverland would give the story another chance to shine. It could correct the mistakes of the previous adaptations, providing a more complete and fulfilling experience for fans.
This would not only fix the problems of the past but also allow a new generation of viewers to appreciate the series as it was originally intended.
3) The Soul Eater
Many fans hold the Soul Eater*anime in high regard, but like many adaptations, it doesn’t fully live up to the manga.
The anime ended years before the manga was finished, leading to significant differences in the storyline. With just 51 episodes, the original series left out a lot of important content, leaving fans craving a more complete adaptation.
A remake of Soul Eater would be a great addition to the current anime scenario. The series’ dark, Gothic vibe, mixed with its energetic and fun tone, would look amazing with modern animation.
The Soul Eater (bones)
A new version could adapt the entire manga, offering fans the full story they’ve been waiting for and reintroducing this unique world with updated visuals and storytelling.
A remake could also bring in Soul Eater Not!, which had its own anime but is now a decade old. It might even tie more closely with Fire Force, a series set in the same world.
This could breathe new life into the Soul Eater franchise, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers.
4) Reborn!
Reborn! was a series that came out at a difficult time, missing the peak international success of Naruto and One Piece and arriving before the resurgence in anime popularity with Dragon Ball Super.
Although it was popular in Japan, the series faced issues in both its manga and anime versions. The manga started to decline after volume 8, turning into a typical battle shonen, and the anime struggled with adapting the early, highly-regarded parts of the story.
Initially, Reborn! was a comedy manga, but it later shifted to a battle focus, creating a mixed identity. A remake could fix this by better combining the comedy and action elements.
Reborn! (Artland)
It could also improve on the original anime’s issues, especially its animation quality, which didn’t fully capture the series’ potential.
Since the first anime made many changes and didn’t stay true to the manga, a new adaptation would be a better option than continuing the old series.
A remake could faithfully represent the original manga and enhance the animation, giving fans a completer and more refined version of Reborn! that could appeal to both longtime followers and new viewers.
5) Toriko
Toriko was once seen as a potential major success, with high hopes due to its anime launch, which even featured a crossover with Goku from Dragon Ball and Luffy from One Piece.
Unfortunately, the Toriko anime did not live up to expectations. It was criticized for censoring important elements and not properly representing the manga.
The manga for Toriko has been around for nearly 20 years, and the anime ended a decade ago. Over time, the franchise has faded from memory, partly because it didn’t build on its early excitement.
Toriko (Toei Animation)
A remake of the Toriko anime could give the series a chance to properly adapt the manga and revive interest in the franchise.
A new version of Toriko could show whether the series deserved its initial hype and bring it back into the limelight.
By faithfully adapting the manga and avoiding the issues of the original anime, a remake could reintroduce Toriko to both old fans and new viewers.
6) Zatch Bell!
Zatch Bell!, also known as Golden Gash!! in Japan, gained popularity in the West when it aired on Toonami alongside big names like One Piece and Naruto.
The story centers around Kiyo Takamine, a young man who partners with Zatch Bell, a mysterious boy.
Kiyo becomes Zatch’s “book reader,” unlocking spells from Zatch’s spellbook that are important for battling other Mamodos who are competing for control of their future.
This series is a mix of shonen battle anime and monster-raising elements, similar to what fans might recognize in shows like Pokémon or Digimon.
Unfortunately, Zatch Bell! has faded from memory over time, partly due to the fact that it’s not available on popular streaming platforms.
Zatch Bell! (Toei Animation)
The anime strayed from its manga source material and ended before the full story was told, leaving fans with an unfinished version of the original tale.
Now that both the manga and anime have been around for more than 20 years, it’s a great time for a Zatch Bell! remake.
A fresh adaptation could reintroduce the series to a new audience while also giving longtime fans the complete story they’ve been waiting for.
Bringing the series back could reignite interest in this unique and action-packed world, making it relevant again for both old and new fans alike.
7) Rave Master
Rave Master, created by Hiro Mashima, is often seen as superior to his later work, Fairy Tail. The story centers on Haru Glory’s quest to find the missing pieces of the Rave.
While the manga is highly regarded, the original Rave Master anime faced several challenges, especially with pacing, as it skipped over key parts of the early story from the manga.
A remake of Rave Master should focus on faithfully adapting the entire manga, allowing Mashima’s full story to be told as it was intended.
By taking the time to include all the important plot points, this new version could deliver a more complete and engaging experience for fans.
Rave Master (Studio DEEN)
It could become the definitive adaptation of the series, bringing the manga’s vision to life in a way that the original anime did not.
Modernizing the animation would also give the remake a fresh appeal. The original series had fairly basic visuals, but with today’s advanced animation techniques, a remake could truly shine.
This updated look would draw in both longtime fans and new viewers who may not be familiar with Rave Master, giving the series a renewed presence in the anime world.
8) Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was a unique and comedic shonen series that ran as a manga for four years. It combined over-the-top humor with battles, parodying shows like Fist of the North Star in a satirical way.
The anime adaptation, which ended around the same time as the manga, didn’t cover the entire story, and there was a sequel in the manga that never got an anime version.
A remake of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo could fully explore the manga’s humor and jokes, which were sometimes altered in the original dub.
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (Toei Animation)
This new version could also complete the story by including the short sequel and avoid leaving fans with an unfinished plot.
A remake could introduce new jokes and references to current anime, continuing the series’ tradition of comedy. By doing this, it could attract both longtime fans and new viewers with its unique brand of humor and satire.
9) Appleseed
Appleseed, by Masamune Shirow, is a classic cyberpunk series similar to his other work, Ghost in the Shell, and shows like Patlabor.
Even though it’s well-regarded, Appleseed has only been adapted into OVAs and movies, and it never had a TV anime series.
The OVAs show their age, and the movies, even the better ones, suffer from outdated CGI animation.
With the recent popularity of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, now seems like a great time to make a new anime series of Appleseed.
Appleseed (Gainax)
Anime is more popular than ever, making it a good time to introduce a fresh take on the series. A new Appleseed show could attract a larger audience and become more mainstream.
A new Appleseed anime could appeal to older viewers with a more mature story and updated visuals. It could introduce the series to a new generation of fans while staying true to its cyberpunk roots.
10) After War Gundam X
The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise is known for its many beloved series, but After War Gundam X is one of the more debated entries.
As the third alternate world Gundam series, it has a mix of passionate fans and critics. The main problems with the show come from its pacing and changes in focus, which happened when the number of episodes was cut in half.
A remake of Gundam X could be beneficial for several reasons. Unlike the other Gundam series that are part of the complex Universal Century timeline, Gundam X is a standalone story.
After War Gundam X (Sunrise)
This means a remake could fully explore the intended story without being limited by previous continuity. It could address the original series’ issues, like pacing and character development, and provide a completer and more refined version.
With recent hits like Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury and *Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, it might be the right time to revisit Gundam X.
A new version could take advantage of the current interest in the franchise and offer fans a fresh and enhanced experience of this series.

“One Piece” Chapter 1123 spoilers have sparked intense excitement among fans, as they were highly anticipated to shed light on the final of the Egghead arc and the current status of the Gorosei.
The spoilers, which were officially released on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, delivered in some areas but left others shrouded in mystery.
While the issue seemingly confirmed the ending of the Egghead arc, it did not provide any concrete details regarding the Gorosei’s current situation.
Egghead Arc In One Piece (Toei Animation)
Despite this, the spoilers revealed some critical information that has left fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming chapters.
One of the most significant revelations was Dr. Vegapunk’s full plan, as well as the moment he discovered York’s treachery.
The issue also provided an explanation for how Dr. Vegapunk had forgotten these crucial details before the events of the Egghead arc, making for a comprehensive and satisfying ending to this storyline.
Genius of Dr. Vegapunk: A Necessary Sacrifice
The spoilers for Chapter 1123 of “One Piece” begin with the cover story, continuing the narrative of Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano.
In the eleventh volume, Denjiro is depicted punishing the children who had previously thrown rocks at Yamato by making them all share a meal together and encouraging them to become friends.
This wholesome moment is a brief respite before the story plunges back into the intense action on Egghead Island, where the majority of the Marines, including the Vice Admirals, have fainted.
S-Snake, still trapped inside a bubble, is seen attempting to wake those around her so they can continue their pursuit of Luffy and his crew.
Meanwhile, Gear 5 Luffy is shown expressing his gratitude to Emeth for his assistance, though the now-deceased robot does not respond.
Dorry and Brogy, standing nearby, comment on their inability to sense the presence of any enemies, speculating that the Conqueror’s Haki used by Emeth might be even stronger than that of Shanks.
As the chapter progresses, the Thousand Sunny and the Giant Warrior Pirates’ ship set sail together for Elbaf.
Onboard the Sunny, Bonney is seen in her true form, peacefully sleeping on top of her father, Kuma.
#ONEPIECE1123 #OPSPOILERS Full summary for ONEPIECE CH-1123 (Thanks to : @Mugiwara_23 ) pic.twitter.com/US2WffFVZg — Pew (@pewpiece) August 14, 2024
Zoro is shown relaxing on the ship, while Usopp tearfully greets Dorry and Brogy, clearly overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment.
Luffy, now back on the Sunny and in his wrinkled post-Gear 5 form, is seen resting his head on Nami’s lap.
Sanji, however, is depicted in a more somber mood. He is standing alone on the Giant Warrior Pirates’ ship, staring at Dr. Vegapunk’s lifeless body lying on a futon.
Sanji speaks to the corpse, expressing his discomfort with the events that have transpired.
He questions whether this is truly how Dr. Vegapunk wanted things to end, commenting on the sheer insanity of what he had heard during the broadcast.
It is at this point that a flashback to two weeks prior on Egghead Island begins.
Revelation of York’s Betrayal
The flashback reveals that Vegapunk Shaka was the first to notice a discrepancy in the data from the Mother Flame power plant, which he quickly shared with Dr. Vegapunk and Vegapunk Pythagoras.
Shaka notes that if this error is indeed a mistake, it is a very serious issue. Pythagoras then realizes that the data they have recorded is different from what they are currently observing.
Shaka responds by pointing out that the changes were cleverly hidden within “records,” presumably referring to Punk Records.
The three scientists reveals that the culprit must be one of them, with Dr. Vegapunk speculating that it might be Lilith.
Bro suspected Lilith She ended up as the sole survivor — 🚁Sanjay.D.Luffy (@Sanjayred9y) August 14, 2024
Shaka adds that only the three of them have a perfect alibi, and that an enormous amount of energy has been stolen.
Faced with this realization, the trio decides to put their brains on “Stealth Mode” to avoid alerting the traitor that they have been discovered.
For a week, the trio investigates the situation, eventually leading Pythagoras to discover that York is the traitor.
He explains that York had uploaded fake memories to Punk Records and manipulated both the Transponder Snail videos and the Sea Beast Weapons.
Dr. Vegapunk reflects on the irony of using the emotion of “greed” to create a person, realizing that it was a mistake to do so.
As they listen to a recorded conversation between York and the Gorosei, Dr. Vegapunk begins to piece together the events that led to this betrayal.
World Government’s Sinister Motives
Dr. Vegapunk’s suspicions are further confirmed when he realizes that this is why Cipher Pol had been visiting them so frequently in recent times.
The elimination of the Lulusia Kingdom the following day only solidifies his fears.
One Piece Chapter 1123 – Dr. Vegapunk And Luffy (Toei Animations)
After hearing about this tragic event, Dr. Vegapunk deduces that York had stolen a portion of the Mother Flame and handed it over to the World Government using a Sea Beast Weapon.
This leads him to the chilling ending that the World Government possesses an Ancient Weapon.
Faced with this knowledge, Shaka suggests that they capture York themselves, but Dr. Vegapunk believes it is too late.
York has already proven herself valuable to the World Government, and as a result, the rest of them will be killed for their knowledge of the Void Century.
Dr. Vegapunk urges them to prepare for the evacuation of Egghead’s inhabitants, emphasizing the importance of using the technology that Ohara did not have to broadcast their findings far and wide.
He laments the darkness that surrounds the truth, questioning the true nature of the World Government.
Dr. Vegapunk is determined not to let his death be in vain and stresses the importance of protecting the “Kumofuto” machine, which has the ability to create “island clouds.”
In a world that may soon be submerged, such technology will be indispensable.
A Desperate Plan Unfolds
Dr. Vegapunk then begins to modify Emeth’s body to house the Transmission Transponder Snail, a critical component of his plan.
One day, York discovers him working on this and asks what he is doing. Dr. Vegapunk lies, telling her that he is attempting to move Emeth using the Mother Flame.
York expresses her hope that this technology will be perfected soon, unaware that the imperfections in the Mother Flame are the trio’s only hope for survival.
One Piece Chapter 1123 – (Shueisha)
Two days before the present timeline, the trio who uncovered York’s treachery recorded their findings. This explains why they were the only ones present in the video shown later.
However, to keep their plan and their discovery of York’s betrayal a secret, they erased their memories of the past two weeks.
Dr. Vegapunk emphasizes that this was a crucial step, as the disaster that would soon unfold was the key to their eventual victory.
When Dr. Vegapunk awakens after the memory erasure, he finds a note claiming that their research had been leaked to the World Government.
The note warns that they will soon be killed, but reassures Dr. Vegapunk that a countermeasure was prepared during the “two-week void” in his memory.
The note implores him to believe in himself and embrace his death, but just as it begins to reveal one final piece of information, it is abruptly cut off.
A Sacrificial Choice
The flashback then jumps ahead to the moment when Dr. Vegapunk, Sanji, Vegapunk Atlas, and Franky were traveling to the ground level of Egghead Island in Vegatank-08.
Dr. Vegapunk tells Sanji that he will not be returning to the upper levels and asks Sanji to leave him behind to die.
He explains that he feels his death will trigger something important, a crucial turning point in their fight against the World Government.
One Piece Chapter 1123 – Sanji And Dr. Vegapunk (Shueisha)
Sanji, however, is horrified at the thought and insists that Dr. Vegapunk’s death would cause an uproar, making it impossible for him to comply with the request.
As the issue returns to the present, Sanji is shown asking Dr. Vegapunk what is wrong, but the scene shifts to the celebratory atmosphere aboard the ships.
The Straw Hat Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates are both reveling in their victory and the prospect of finally reaching Elbaf.
Usopp, in particular, is ecstatic at the thought of arriving in the land of his dreams, a place he has longed to visit since the beginning of the series.
Amidst the celebration, Dr. Vegapunk’s words to Sanji continue to resonate. He expresses his hope that the Straw Hat crew will be the ones to find the titular treasure of the series.
The chapter ends on this poignant note, with the confirmation that there will be no break in the following week, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of this thrilling saga.
Complex Web of Intrigue
“One Piece” Chapter 1123 has undoubtedly left fans with much to ponder.
The intricate web of intrigue surrounding Dr. Vegapunk, York’s betrayal, and the World Government’s sinister motives has added new layers of complexity to the story.
Dr. Vegapunk From One Piece (Toei Animations)
The Egghead arc, which began as a seemingly straightforward narrative, has evolved into a multifaceted tale of deception, sacrifice, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Dr. Vegapunk’s genius is once again on full display, as he orchestrates a plan that hinges on his own death.
His willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good is a testament to his character and his unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth.
The use of memory erasure as a plot device adds an additional layer of tension, as the characters are forced to rely on their past selves’ decisions without fully understanding the context.
York’s betrayal is particularly striking, as it highlights the dangers of unchecked ambition and the consequences of playing with emotions like greed.
Dr. Vegapunk’s regret at creating a being with such a flawed nature serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of scientific experimentation without ethical consideration.
The Road to Elbaf
As the chapter ends with the confirmation of the Elbaf arc, fans are left with a sense of anticipation and excitement.
Elbaf has been a long-standing mystery in the “One Piece’ universe, and its significance to the story is finally coming to light.
One Piece (Shueisha)
Usopp’s dream of visiting Elbaf is on the verge of becoming a reality, and the potential for new alliances, battles, and revelations is immense.
The Giant Warrior Pirates’ involvement in the upcoming arc hints at the possibility of exploring the rich history and culture of Elbaf, as well as its connection to the broader “One Piece” world.
The arc is poised to be a pivotal moment in the series, as the Straw Hat Pirates inch closer to the ultimate goal of finding the One Piece.
Chapter of Unfolding Destiny
“One Piece” Chapter 1123 is a masterful blend of action, emotion, and intrigue, setting the stage for the next phase of the story.
Dr. Vegapunk’s plan, York’s betrayal, and the impending Elbaf arc have all contributed to the chapter’s significance, leaving fans eager to see what comes next.
As the series continues to explore the mysteries of the “One Piece” world, the stakes are higher than ever, and the characters’ destinies are increasingly intertwined.
Elbaf’s From One Piece (Shueisha)
The journey to uncover the truth, find the One Piece, and challenge the World Government is far from over, and Chapter 1123 is a crucial step in that ongoing adventure.
Fans can rest assured that the upcoming chapters will continue to deliver the high-quality storytelling that has made ‘One Piece” a beloved series for over two decades.
With the Elbaf arc on the horizon, the excitement is only just beginning, and the world of “One Piece” remains as attracting and unpredictable as ever.
