Attention: The subsequent text contains revealing details regarding One Piece Episode 1069, titled "There Is Only One Winner - Luffy vs. Kaido," presently available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
Devoted followers of One Piece have been undeniably fortunate to regularly experience a series of extraordinary episodes. Toei Animation has gathered a plethora of exceptionally skilled animators for this illustrious production, making it nearly inconceivable to overlook any single episode. Episode 1069 of One Piece was no exception, featuring awe-inspiring frames crafted by the incredibly talented animator, Vincent Chansard.
The episode focused on the rooftop duel between Luffy and Kaido. However, the other characters also had significant screen time.
In Episode 1069, two major fights concluded. The first one was between Raizo and Fukurokuju, as they battled amidst flames for a prolonged period. After reaching a stalemate, it became a test of their mental strength. Fortunately, Fukurokuju was the first to break, resulting in Raizo's victory. With this win, Orochi's Oniwabanshu was defeated. Raizo's triumph was not easily achieved, and he collapsed shortly after. In the second fight, Guernica successfully took down X-Drake, who had backstabbed the World Government agent. Despite the attack, Guernica remained relatively unaffected and utilized Finger Pistol to incapacitate the Supernova. Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Luffy unleashed Snakeman, delivering multiple powerful blows to Kaido. The Emperor became perplexed by Luffy's unpredictable attacks, struggling to decipher a pattern. However, everything changed when Kaido used his Future Sight, enabling him to effortlessly dodge the barrage of punches.
This compelled Luffy to alter his strategy, prompting him to assume the form of Bounce Man, which bestowed him with greater power. Luffy and Kaido engaged in a fierce exchange of blows. Recognizing that their battle had reached its climax, both combatants braced themselves to unleash their final assaults. Just as they were about to make contact, out of nowhere, Guernica materialized and diverted Luffy's attention, enabling Kaido to deliver a decisive blow. This incident evoked memories of the Emperor's unjust victory over Oden, when the samurai had been similarly distracted.
Release Date
Mark your calendars for July 30th, 2023, as that's when One Piece Episode 1070 will hit the screens. However, fans will have to exercise a little patience as the anime is taking a one-week hiatus before its highly-anticipated return. Titled "Luffy is Defeated?! The Determination of Those Left Behind," this episode promises some gripping action. With Luffy appearing to have met his match, the attention now turns to Guernica, the CP0 agent who snatched away Kaido's chance at a fair fight. Knowing full well that Kaido won't spare him, the determined assassin braces himself for an imminent attack, as seen in the preview.
Once Guernica is brutally defeated by Kaido, he will descend from the rooftop and launch relentless assaults against the remaining members of the alliance. Their survival becomes a grave concern, as no one possesses the strength to withstand Kaido's overwhelming might. Renowned for his merciless nature, Kaido harbors a burning desire to ensure that not a single individual from the alliance escapes Onigashima alive, particularly due to the damage inflicted upon his castle.
Luffy's fate following his defeat generates intrigue. Unquestionably battered, he appears incapable of rising to engage in further combat. However, Luffy possesses a remarkable history of defying expectations, triumphing in similar dire circumstances in the past. Additionally, Oda possesses a penchant for surprising his audience, prompting the possibility that Luffy will obtain a newfound power that empowers him to achieve his ultimate objective.
Where To Watch
One Piece Episode 1070 will be on Crunchyroll for viewing shortly after its initial release in Japan. The episode will be in Japanese with English subtitles. However, the English dub release of this episode will be delayed as it is significantly behind.
