That's quite late for a show like One Piece.

Yes but its doing the Bleach thing where its in a late time slot, which means less censorship and more blood. Sunday morning gimped a lot of the action in some arcs.

Going from 9:30 am to 11:15 pm is a WILD time slot change. Some of the things the anime is about to get to are EXTREMELY dark, so I was expecting a later time slot, but I wasn't expecting it to be that late.

Not really, considering we already have DB Daima running in midnight slot.

Dragon Ball has pretty firmly solidified itself as a nostalgia-based property for older audiences in Japan. Unless Toei and co. have conceded that they can no longer get new kid viewers for OP, this is a weird decision.

Wasn't this timeslot previously held by Demon Slayer? I remember Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training Arc broadcasted in Sunday late night timeslot.

With Daima airing on Friday nights instead of Sunday mornings, the Run For Money anime is still going so with One Piece now moving to Sunday nights, what's replacing that in it's old timeslot?

I think TO BE HERO X is being broadcast on Sundays at 09:30 JST from April.

As someone who has taught children in Japan for 9 years...this statement is not based anywhere in reality.

No one Cares about a show that is drenched in Bad RPG Filler.

You cared enough to comment, though.
In any case, I'm surprised that make a huge change schedule from morning to almost midnight which means they will not hold back showing full gore, blood bath as originally depicted in the manga. As for me, I'll watch on Monday morning instead of my usual Sunday morning.

Daima is a toy ad first and foremost and DBS + other spin-offs run in V Jump. A magazine for older kids and very young teens. DB hasn´t been pushed as a kid´s IP in the same way it is now since the 80s in Japan. Just look at the endless arcade card games. That is what the Hero Mission promo anime is adapting.
Making One Piece go from the Power Rangers to slot to a midnight anime is bewildering but Spy X Family has the same issue and that IP is heavily being pushed on family audiences. Daytime anime is starting to become a dinosaur for reasons unknown. Oda was especially proud of how the One Piece anime spoke to kids when he saw kids in restaurants watching it while it had the original prime time slot. Toei is one weird ass company and the content will stay as is. This arc's upcoming head explosion will be obscured. It´s simply too late to switch lanes. TYBW is a new and separate production. Not the case here. The buffer the experimental gap created is also quite minuscule so the 14-16 pages per episode nonsense will go on. Wait on a fan cut or don´t bother.

Speaking as someone who considers the first half of Egghead to be the best the anime has ever been and thinks the show is genuinely better than the manga at this point, and who has also found the currently airing Fishman Island re-edit to be a perfect case study in how "fast pacing" does not automatically equate "good pacing" (It is honestly worse than the 2012 version. Not even saying that the 2012 version was good, but the edit is atrocious) the above comments make me question if we've even been watching the same show.
Yes, objectively speaking, they adapt on average 14-16 pages of manga per episode. But with how much Oda crams into each page, that's often enough. Yeah, there have been a few irksome bits like Koby spending approximately five minutes straight agonizing over whether to attack Pisaro's arm in the last episode, but even when the pacing does get slower than I'd like, it's rarely that bad, and it's totally eclipsed by the many, many instances of the anime just actually giving proper breathing room to scenes Oda rushed. (Kiku's battle with Kanjuro being entirely off-screened, Ashura's death actually registering as a death whereas in the manga I only realized he was dead a whole year later when the characters mentioned doing a burial for him, Kaido's defeat finally getting to be the grand cinematic moment Oda clearly wanted it to be but was held back by page counts and deadlines, getting to actually see the environment in Egghead and the Labophase up close rather than the manga basically just having two panels with like a dozen speech bubbles and that was all the worldbuilding we got...) To say nothing of the show managing to have at least one or two moments of jaw-dropping animation in just about every episode. We ain't dealing with 2015-era Toei anymore. Haven't been for ages. And I doubt we ever will be again.
...Also the official One Piece Twitter account mentioned something about the show coming back "with an approach that's more in tune with the times". Which, we have no clarification on what that means, but my first guess was the show going seasonal. Which, if it does, they will have the leeway to do multi-chapter episodes. Not consistently, since Oda takes so many breaks, but an average pace of at least 1.5 chapters to one episode should be entirely feasible. And with how densely packed the chapters are, I daresay that should be enough. (Especially since, again, Fishman Island is currently doing two chapters an ep and not an episode has gone by without me feeling at least one scene was jarringly fast.)

It feels like the show has basically already gone seasonal by introducing this hiatus. The Fishman Island remaster is nice, but in the end it's basically just something quick and easy to occupy OP's timeslot (ironically a timeslot OP won't even have when it comes back.) One Piece is, for all intents and purposes, on a seasonal break until April.
One Piece is such a big deal that I doubt it will ever go off the air completely until the story finally ends (the current repeats are garnering higher ratings than the large majority of brand-new anime) but I wouldn't be surprised if the show starts producing half as many episodes per year, with the other half devoted to remasters of classic arcs (this is it, Toei, this is your chance to finally fix Dressrosa.)
The current high animation standard the show has enjoyed is wonderful to look at, but also probably unsustainable in a production that cranks out 50 episodes a year, every year. Slowing down will do a lot of good.

I mean, they've kept it up since like 2019 when Wano started... Or okay, I do feel like Egghead is more consistently excellent-looking than most of Wano but... Wano did still manage almost 100 episodes of fighting without the quality ever dipping below what I'd consider to be still fairly respectable. So... assuming that they have continued to work on the show non-stop and that the break wasn't also just a 6-month break for the show's staff, I imagine the back half of Egghead is going to be pretty insane.
(At the same time, having read the manga... it's possible that this break is necessary for the back half of Egghead to work at all, between the ludicrously complex action set piece ahead and that part where Oda had a single monologue last for like eight chapters straight. If there's any part where I do think multiple chapters in a single episode is needed, it's there.)
