Fans of the long-running anime series One Piece have been eagerly anticipating Episode 1151, which is set to continue the thrilling Egghead Island Arc. After a brief hiatus, the episode is confirmed to air, diving deeper into the unfolding mysteries and high-stakes confrontations.
Release Date and Streaming Platforms
One Piece Episode 1151, titled “Her and Her Father’s Dream! Bonney’s Free Future,” is officially scheduled for release on November 30, 2025. This comes after a recap episode titled “Dr. Chopper’s Adventure Checkup – The Last Records That a Genius Left Behind” aired on November 23, 2025, causing a slight delay from the originally anticipated date.
For viewers in different regions, here’s when you can expect to stream the episode:
- Crunchyroll: November 30, 2025, at 8:45 AM Pacific Time (PT) / 11:45 AM Eastern Time (ET) / 4:45 PM GMT (UK).
- Netflix: Episode 1151 will be available on Netflix a week later, specifically on December 6, 2025.
What to Expect in Episode 1151
Episode 1151 is shaping up to be a highly emotional installment, particularly focusing on Jewelry Bonney’s character arc. The episode is expected to delve into Bonney’s childhood dreams and her desperate struggle to free herself and Bartholomew Kuma from their tragic fate. Given that the Egghead Arc is nearing its conclusion, this episode may serve as a significant spotlight for Bonney before the narrative shifts towards the upcoming Elbaph Arc.
Furthermore, the episode is anticipated to continue the monumental world broadcast by Dr. Vegapunk, summarizing the crucial information he shared before being cut off by the Five Elders. The previous episode, 1150, highlighted the world’s reaction to Vegapunk’s broadcast and Zoro’s battle with one of the Elders who was attempting to destroy the Thousand Sunny. There is also a possibility of developments hinting at the Iron Giant’s survival, as its abrupt disappearance feels incomplete given its deep connection to Joy Boy.
The Egghead Arc: A Deep Dive
The Egghead Island Arc, which began around Episode 1089, sees the Straw Hat Pirates encountering Dr. Vegapunk and his futuristic island. This arc has been a pivotal part of the Final Saga of One Piece, introducing major revelations and emotional moments. The anime is currently past its 50th episode in Season 21 and is heading towards its 1150th episode in total.
Throughout the Egghead Arc, the Straw Hats have faced new challenges, including dealing with the World Government and the powerful Five Elders. The arc has been praised for its blend of thrilling action, humor, and intricate world-building, characteristic of the One Piece series.
Future of the One Piece Anime
Looking beyond Episode 1151 and the conclusion of the Egghead Arc, significant changes are on the horizon for the One Piece anime. Starting in 2026, the anime adaptation is set to transition to a seasonal format, releasing a maximum of 26 episodes per year. This new schedule aims to better align the anime’s pacing with the manga, which is reportedly in its final stretch.
Following the conclusion of the current arc, the anime will take a three-month hiatus from January to March 2026. It is then expected to return in April 2026 to begin adapting the manga’s Elbaph Arc, likely divided into two parts. This shift comes after a year that has seen several breaks in the One Piece anime’s release schedule, with fans often receiving around three new episodes a month.
Despite these changes, the remaining episodes of the Egghead Arc in 2025 are expected to air consecutively without further breaks, ensuring a consistent weekly release leading into the end of the year.
