Following a week’s hiatus, the thrilling installment of the beloved anime “One Piece” is all set to resume. The anticipation among fans has been palpable for One Piece Episode 1129, as it signals the start of Bartholomew Kuma’s backstory revelation.
Instead of veering off course and concentrating on Egghead Island, it appears that the anime is now delving into the backstory of the ex-Shichibukai. Now, let’s discuss what viewers might anticipate in the next episode.
Jaygarcia Saturn Debuted His Powers In One Piece Episode 1128
The Godhead Of Science & Defence Made His Move
Previously, I witnessed Luffy carrying on his duel with Kizaru. Their confrontation had begun a few episodes back, but it appeared they had reached a standstill. At first, Luffy activated Gear 4th, but Kizaru managed to overpower him quite effortlessly. After taking a beating, Luffy retaliated by summoning Gear 5th and immediately launched assaults against Kizaru.
Despite being taken aback by Luffy’s strength, the Admiral chose not to back down. Meanwhile, Kizaru demonstrated a novel method, creating several replicas of himself. These clones had the autonomy to act independently, allowing them to assault Luffy without Kizaru’s direct command. They could coordinate with the Admiral to bypass Luffy’s defenses. However, neither side managed to gain an advantage. Recognizing this, Kizaru opted for a different tactic. He employed his clones to deceive Luffy, while he stealthily departed in search of Dr. Vegapunk. Regrettably for Kizaru, the doctor had already set off on his journey.

In the latest episode (1128), Kizaru attempted to attack Vegapunk, but Luffy intervened. The climactic moments of their battle were displayed, with Luffy employing a fresh move called Star Gun to subdue Kizaru. Yet, Luffy didn’t have time to rejoice as Saint Jaygarcia Saturn had already touched down on the island, morphing into an unidentified creature. As soon as he landed, he dispatched a Marine who labeled him a monster.
One Piece Episode 1129 Release Date
- One Piece Episode 1129 will be released on May 18
- It will mark the beginning of Kuma’s flashback
On May 18, 2025, One Piece Episode 1129 will hit the screens. Initially, it was set to air on May 11, 2025, but the anime took a brief hiatus so fans could prepare for Kuma’s flashback sequence. The episode is titled “Kuma’s Past – Better Off Dead in This World,” indicating that it will delve into Bartholomew Kuma’s past events. In fact, the official X account (previously known as Twitter) has shared a special visual to mark the beginning of Kuma’s flashback.
Bartholomew Kuma, a character from One Piece, remains shrouded in enigma. Despite his appearance prior to the timeskip, there are numerous aspects of his background that remain unclear. For instance, fans question why Kuma chose to join the Revolutionary Army and later became a pirate, and why he earned the title of tyrant. Additionally, it’s puzzling how Kuma lost his conscience if he was indeed an evil individual. These questions, along with others, will likely be addressed in forthcoming flashbacks. There’s also a chance that we may learn more about other One Piece characters and their connection to Kuma’s life.
Toei Animation Needs To Be Careful With The Anime Adaptation
Lately, I’ve been quite passionate about the happenings at Toei Animation, especially concerning their decisions on my beloved anime series. Recently, some alterations made to specific episodes have stirred up a storm among fans, particularly regarding the character of Sanji. These changes led to his absence in certain scenes and the introduction of new ones that, unfortunately, tarnished Sanji’s image in the eyes of many dedicated viewers like myself.
If Toei Animation follows a similar strategy with Kuma’s flashback sequence as before, there’s a strong possibility that they will face criticism. The issue isn’t about fans desiring additional scenes; rather, it’s about the specific scenes chosen by the studio to incorporate into an episode. Including unnecessary scenes might mar Kuma’s flashback. Here’s hoping Toei Animation exercises caution and makes a thoughtful decision this time around.
