However, this trailer is a bad trailer by itself. The trailers for seasons 3 parts 1 and 2 did a good job because they were only using shots from the first episode of their respective parts (eventually, one or two shots for episode 2/3), and we were able to make a synopsis out of them, thanks to the dialogues. For season 4 trailer, that's mostly a mix of random shots from all over the season, and there's extremely spoilery stuff. It looks like it is a trailer made for the mangea readers, not the anime-onlies. I'd even recommend a friend of mine who's still at chapter 121 not to watch that trailer. *

As a side note, we can see shots from the final arc. Does this mean there's no hiatus ? That'll surprise me, but it could make sense considering Marley arc and Final cart can't be cut into two equals parts. It has been officially confirmed that this trailer was pre-animated. The scenes they showed were made just for the trailer. It doesn't necessarily mean that they will adapt the whole thing in one go nor does it confirm multiple cours.

But, generally, i agree. Marley arc was 16 chapters long. The final arc will be at least 28. If they are going to make 1 cour per arc, then it will feel really weird. It's possible that they might actually adapt it all. However, if they are going to split it into 2 cours, i'd say the best thing to do is to adapt chapters 91-110 and then 111-134/5 whatever.
