Summary
- One Piece Episode 1127 had exceptional animation, with the focus on Luffy vs. Kizaru.
- Episode 1128, releasing on May 4, 2025, will introduce Saint Saturn and pose more danger to the characters.
- Dr. Vegapunk and Bonney are at risk in the upcoming episode as Saturn targets them, while Luffy fights to end the battle.
One Piece Episode 1127 was the pinnacle of animation. Toei Animation has once again proven itself to be one of the best studios in the world. The quality of the animation was simply incredible, and it won't be an exaggeration to say that Episode 1127 is an early contender for the Episode of the Year.
One Piece Episode 1127 was mainly focused on the fight between Monkey D. Luffy and Admiral Kizaru. The way the staff members at Toei Animation animated the fight was insane. Even Eiichiro Oda commended their work, which is the highest compliment possible. The episode also scored a high rating on IMDb, which highlights the positive reception.

Luffy vs. Kizaru Stole The Spotlight
As previously stated, Luffy's fight against Kizaru was the center of attention. A lot of fans despise Kizaru for what he did to the Straw Hats in the Sabaody Archipelago arc. The Admiral nearly annihilated the crew and showed absolutely zero remorse while doing so. It's safe to say that the Straw Hat Pirates would have died if Silvers Rayleigh and Bartholomew Kuma had not intervened. It was also one of the most challenging experiences for Luffy and the rest of the crew.
Where do you think you're going? —Kizaru to Vegapunk
Naturally, there was a great deal of hype when the anime teased a battle between Kizaru and Luffy. Fans knew that it was time for payback, and this time the fight would be closer. Initially, Luffy used Gear 4th to fight Kizaru, but it turned out to be a bad idea, as the latter had no trouble overwhelming him. So, Luffy had to change his approach and use Gear 5th to handle Kizaru.
In Episode 1127, Kizaru and Luffy went all out and used their best abilities. Kizaru used a new technique, which he used to create multiple clones who could fight separately. The Admiral used this move to trick Luffy and shift his focus to Vegapunk. However, the pirate figured out Kizaru's intentions and stopped the Marine's attack before it could land.
One Piece Episode 1128 Release Date
- Episode 1128 Will Release On May 4, 2025
- It will feature Saturn's complete debut
One Piece Episode 1128 will be released on May 4, 2025. It is titled 'The Nightmare Strikes - Warrior God of Science and Defense, Saint Saturn.' From the title, it seems obvious that the focus will be on Saint. Jaygarcia Saturn, the Godhead of Science & Defense. It's quite apparent that things are going to get even more dangerous for the Straw Hats and Dr. Vegapunk. The Godhead likely grew impatient after seeing Kizaru struggle to accomplish the task. So, he decided to complete the mission on his own. Saturn will likely disclose his strength for the first time in the series, making the next episode rather monumental.
Saint. Jaygarcia Saturn's arrival on the island will not affect Kizaru's mission, but he will be under much more duress to wrap it up quickly. However, the Admiral still has Luffy to contend with. The Supernova knows that he's low on stamina, and it might not be long before his Gear 5th runs out of steam. So, he will look to end the fight in Episode 1128.
Dr. Vegapunk And Bonney Are In Danger
One Piece Episode 1128 will shed some light on the fate of Stella, Atlas, and Bonney. The three are targets of the World Government, so Saturn will certainly go after them. The Godhead won't want to dilly-dally for too long and eliminate all three of them as quickly as possible. Thankfully, Sanji is in the vicinity, so hopefully, he can make a difference. Both Luffy and Zoro are busy fighting Kizaru and Lucci, respectively. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they can help Vegapunk.
