Fans of the globally popular anime series One Piece are eagerly anticipating the release of Episode 1137, titled “I’m Sorry, Dad, Bonney’s Tears and Kuma’s Fist”. This pivotal episode is set to continue the intense developments within the Egghead Arc, directly following the emotional conclusion of Bartholomew Kuma’s backstory.

What to Expect in Episode 1137
Episode 1137 directly picks up on the chaotic events of the Egghead Arc. The previous episode, “Kuma’s Life,” received critical acclaim for its emotional depth, achieving a 9.8/10 rating on IMDb and delving into Kuma’s torment and sacrifices. With Bonney’s fate hanging in the balance, as she remains captured by Saint Saturn, the new episode will shift focus back to the high-stakes action on Egghead Island.
The title “I’m Sorry, Dad, Bonney’s Tears and Kuma’s Fist” strongly suggests an emotionally charged episode centered around Jewelry Bonney and her father, Bartholomew Kuma. Previews indicate that Kuma will arrive on Egghead Island to protect his daughter from Saint Saturn. Bonney initially blamed Dr. Vegapunk for her father’s transformation into a cyborg, unaware of the true orchestrator. This episode is expected to explore Bonney’s anguish and Kuma’s desperate efforts to save her.
The Egghead Arc: An Overview
The Egghead Arc is the current saga in the One Piece anime, marking the beginning of the Final Saga of One Piece. It commenced in January 2024 and focuses on the Straw Hat Pirates’ arrival at Egghead Island, the futuristic home of Dr. Vegapunk. Vegapunk’s forbidden research has made him a target of the World Government’s Gorosei, leading to the escalating conflict on the island.
After a hiatus in October 2024, the anime returned in April 2025 to continue the Egghead Arc. New episodes of the Egghead Arc are generally released every Sunday on Crunchyroll, with Netflix typically airing them on Saturdays a week later. While the exact episode count for the Egghead Arc in the anime is not yet confirmed as the manga arc only recently concluded, it is speculated to have around 50 more episodes, given the remaining source material and potential for filler to create a gap between the anime and manga.
One Piece Anime Production Schedule
The One Piece anime, produced by Toei Animation, has been running since October 20, 1999, and has released over 1,130 episodes to date. New episodes are typically released weekly. Historically, the anime has seen various time slot changes. Since April 2025, One Piece has moved to a Sunday night slot in Japan, allowing for a closer alignment with the Weekly Shonen Jump manga release schedule, enabling fans to watch the latest episode and then read the newest manga chapter shortly after. The series occasionally takes short breaks, as seen before Episode 1137, often to allow the animation staff a breather after delivering high-quality episodes.
