One Piece Chapter 1050: Release date and time, what to expect, and more

One Piece Chapter 1050 might be the most hypeworthy event since Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening.

Kaido is truly a "beast." He far surpassed the reader's expectations with his fighting performance. Having said that, Luffy might be declared the winner by now, especially after hitting the Bajrang Gun.

Most readers would love to see that narration box in One Piece Chapter 1050. Eiichiro Oda has been setting up Kaido's downfall ever since the Punk Hazard arc ten years ago. After a weeklong break, readers are eagerly anticipating the next chapter. It definitely cannot get here soon enough.

What to expect (speculative)

Luffy's attack left a dragon-shaped hole at the bottom of Wano Country. Whether or not Kaido is down for good remains to be seen. One Piece Chapter 1050 may provide that long-awaited confirmation. Hopefully, readers will get to see reactions from the citizens of the Flower Capital.

Some readers may also hope for another flashback sequence since Kaido's backstory was skimmed through in the last chapter. Either way, he may finally accept Luffy as the Joy Boy he was looking for.

Meanwhile, the floating island finally made a safe landing near the Flower Capital. Momonosuke used his Flame Clouds to ensure that would happen. It may not be in One Piece Chapter 1050, but at some point he will revert to his current adult form. amd it will then be interesting to see his new appearance.

The end is near for the Onigashima Raid

One Piece Chapter 1050 could be very significant. Readers will know for certain whether or not Kaido is defeated. This will mark a historic turning point in the series. Luffy will have finally proven himself to be the Pirate King's successor. The Onigashima Raid would be a major success.

Wano Country will start wrapping up shortly afterwards. There is a lot to unpack for the readers. With Kaido and Orochi finally taken care of, the Kozuki family can start rebuilding the country. The Straw Hats can also get their hands on the Road Poneglyph, which means that they will have one more to find.
