Eiichiro Oda’s highly-anticipated Monsters anime is almost here – so here’s what time it will drop on Netflix and be available to stream.

Oda, the creator of One Piece, released a series of one-shots before the official release of the manga. These were later compiled in the “Wanted!” volume featuring five side stories. One of these stories follows the legendary swordsman Ryuma Shimotsuki.

He lived around 400 years ago, and his legend is still popular in the land of Wano. Titled “Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation,” it is an original net animation that was announced in July 2023.

Directed by Sunghoo Park, the anime adaptation is all set for its grand premiere on January 21. The studio behind the anime, E&H Production is established by Director Park. Here’s exactly what time Monsters anime will drop on Netflix and be available to stream.

For those unaware, the Monsters anime is a canon side-story that follows the events from 400 years when history was made in Wano. One Piece fans will finally find out the legend behind Ryuma slaying a dragon.

Based on Oda’s one-shot, the Monsters anime will adapt Shimotsuki Ryuma’s backstory and his legend. He is Roronoa Zoro’s ancestor, who is believed to have slayed a dragon. In SBS Volume 247, Eiichiro Oda says: “Despite being a zombie, the character appearing in Chapter 450 is indeed Ryuma.

“The samurai protagonist of the MONSTERS short story. In the world of One Piece, however, he is a legendary warrior who has already passed away due to illness and etched his name in history.”

Netflix ‘s official synopsis reads: “A samurai’s path leads him to a waitress whose hometown was destroyed by a dragon. He doesn’t want any trouble  but it finds them anyway.”
