The sixth season of the One Piece anime series, split into two "Sky Island" chapters, was produced by Toei Animation, and directed by Konosuke Uda based on Eiichiro Oda's manga by the same name. It was licensed by Funimation as the first season after 4Kids Entertainment dropped their heavily edited dubbing. The sixth season deals primarily with the Straw Hat Pirates's exploration of the legendary Skypiea, a land of winged humanoids built upon clouds, where they face off against Eneru and his henchmen.
The sixth season originally ran from February 9, 2003 through June 13, 2004 on Fuji TV and contained 52 episodes. The English version ran from September 29, 2007 through March 15, 2008 on Cartoon Network, ending on episode 167 in the US. Australia has continued to air new episodes and began aired unedited episodes starting with episode 175 and ended with episode 195 on January 7, 2009.
The season uses six pieces of theme music: two opening themes and four ending themes. The opening theme until episode 168 is "Hikari e" (ã'ã«ãªã, lit. Toward the Light) by The Babystars. The second is "Bon Voyage" by Bon-Bon Blanco, starting from episode 169 onwards. The ending theme up to episode 156 is "Free Will" by Ruppina. Episodes 157 through 168 use Ruppina's "Faith". Episodes 169 through 181 use "A to Z" by ZZ. The remaining episodes use "Tsuki to TaiyÅ" (æã¨å¤ªé½, lit. The Moon and The Sun) by shela. Funimation has also produced English versions of the songs.
