One Piece has kept fans on edge waiting for the manga to come back, but it seems the anime is drawing everyone’s attention right about now. Toei Animation tackled episode 1026 this weekend after plenty of teases. And even with the fandom’s high expectations, the studio managed to overcome fans with some of its sickest animations of the year.
As you can see below, the tag #OnePiece1026 is taking over Twitter from Japan to the United States and beyond. This all comes after the anime dropped its latest update, and it put Luffy on center stage with his friends at his side. After all, the show’s Wano saga has finally hit what manga readers call ‘Roof Piece’, and the arc is one of the best parts of Wano period.
After all, this One Piece arc keeps an eye on Luffy as he teams with Zoro, Law, and Kid to take on two of the most powerful Yonko. Kaido faces off with Luffy one-on-one for the most part with some assists like Big Mom worries about the rest. So if you want to know what the Worst Generation can do, well – episode 1026 gave us a taste of the pirates’ true potential.

Fucking. Phenomenal. Episode. I really don’t know what to say. Ryota Nakamura’s directorial skills are out of this world. The direction, the SB, art, composite, every aspect of this episode was nailed. Tu really wasn’t lying about his earlier comment!#OnePiece #OnePiece1026 pic.twitter.com/5ov9srIM4s
Toei back again with another 11/10 banger. I feel like they didn’t even adapt the manga, I just love how much creative freedom Nakamura had with this episode while loosely keeping it in line with the source material. Now this is in-canon filler at its best. #ONEPIECE1026 pic.twitter.com/MmtrDpMeYO
