One Piece in the Catalan Countries

The Catalan Countries are the territories where Catalan is spoken.

Catalonia
Catalonia has transmitted more episodes than any other languages in the Iberian Peninsula. At present, it has dubbed 456 episodes in Catalan on the popular teen channel K3 (later called 3XL) and Super3, whereas in Spanish there are only 263. All of the Opening and Endings are dubbed into the language with the exception of the insert song "Family" and the 12th opening, which were kept in Japanese.

History
Catalonia started to transmit One Piece on March 2, 2006. They transmitted until episode 130, which is the end of the Alabasta Arc. On January 1, 2007, they returned with episode 131 and kept transmitting until episode 195. They came back in early 2009 to transmit more episodes until they reached episode 290, in the Enies Lobby arc. In late 2009 they started transmitting until they reached the Ice Hunters Saga, which is episode 336. From February 2010 to mid-October they transmitted until episode 405. The last transmission was until the 456th, from April 6 to June 23 of 2013. 60 more episodes, till the 516th, are being dubbed since January 8, 2014, being the forth dub closest to the Japanese version, after the French, the Italian and the Taiwanese.

Valencian Country
The Valencian dub of One Piece was broadcast from 2007-2009 on the popular TV channel, Punt2, where it still shows regularly.

The Valencian language is a dialect of Catalan. Due to financial difficulties in Spain, many dubs have been canceled, especially regional dubs such as Valencian (for there is a very small audience that watches them). It reached up to Episode 195 before being canceled, whereas Catalonia reached up to the 456th.

Just as the Catalan dub, all of the openings and endings have been dubbed. It has no censorship.
