Release date and time, where to watch

One Piece Episode 1081 is set to begin airing on local Japanese networks at 9:30 AM JST on Sunday, October 29, 2023. For a minority of international fans, this translates to a Saturday night local release window. A vast majority of international fans, like Japanese viewers, will instead see the episode become available on Sunday morning. The exact time of release varies by region and timezone.

International audiences can stream the episode on Crunchyroll roughly 90 minutes after the episode begins airing in Japan. While Funimation is still streaming the series’ new episodes for their subscribers weekly, their delay time is much longer than Crunchyroll’s. Resultantly, Crunchyroll is the overall better option for viewing the upcoming episode.

One Piece Episode 1081 is set to release on Crunchyroll at the following times in the corresponding time zones:

  • Pacific Standard Time: 6PM, Saturday, October 28
  • Eastern Standard Time: 9PM, Saturday, October 28

Episode 1080 recap

One Piece Episode 1080 began with Nico Robin discovering Tenguyama Hitetsu in a room within Wano’s castle. It was then revealed that he had been Kozuki Sukiyaki, Oden’s father and the former Shogun of the Land of Wano. He shared his guilt over allowing Orochi to become powerful but ultimately decided to live as a hermit in repentance. Robin then asked him about Pluton, which he confirmed was located in Wano.

Admiral Ryokugyu, meanwhile, had landed on Wano at the Udon prison, where he fought the Queen and King of the Beast Pirates once they realized who he was. However, having little time to spare, he used his Devil Fruit abilities to instantly drain their bodies of energy, revealing his primary objective as capturing Luffy to earn Akainu’s applause and commendation.

The episode then showed a flashback, which saw Luffy asking Momonosuke not to tell the people of Wano about him. He did this because of how significant Momonosuke’s return was and how important it was to maintain him as their hero. Returning to the present, Kid angrily approached Luffy, revealing his new 3 billion Beri bounty and title as an official member of the Yonko alongside longtime frenemy Buggy the Clown.


What to expect (speculative)

Considering that the previous episode ended with the discussion of bounties, One Piece Episode 1081 should begin by revealing the bounties of the other Straw Hats. While it’s unclear what the exact values will be, fans can expect the entire crew to see a sharp rise in bounty value. From here, the episode will likely return to Admiral Ryokugyu, showing him approaching the Flower Capital in pursuit of Luffy.

One Piece Episode 1081 will likely then cut back to Nico Robin and Kozuki Sukiyaki, where the latter will probably divulge additional information about Pluton and Wano to the former. Fans may even see the upcoming episode end with the official reveal of where in Wano the Ancient Weapon is located and how it may be unearthed.
