One Piece anime episode 1051 showcased an epic fight between Luffy and Kaido, in which Luffy was supported by a transformed Momonoshuke, while Nekomamushi and Inuarashi battled against fierce Big Mom pirate, Charlotte Perospero. This episode was considered a significant point in the Onigashima battle, but unfortunately, there is going to be a two-week hiatus in the anime version due to air from March 5, 2023, to March 12, 2023. This news has, unfortunately, disappointed the loyal One Piece fans, who have been complaining that the anime version is significantly trailing behind the manga version.
The episode started with Luffy asking Momonosuke to halt Onigashima from falling onto the Flower Capital. His presence in the battle made the fighting among the Straw Hat Alliance and Kaido more intense. Previously, Luffy had been declared dead, having fallen into a river during a fight with Kaido. This new development ignited a new spark of energy and motivation for the alliance. Luffy and Kaido were locked head-to-head, and a violent collision of high-level haki between the two caused the sky to split. This intense collision reminded Yamato of a story Oden had once told her regarding the legendary battle between Roger and Shirohige.
The collision between Luffy and Kaido proved beneficial for Topi Jerami’s alliance because it dispelled the clouds and enabled Nekomamushi and Inuarashi to transform into their Sulong form. The next episode, 1052 of the anime version, will be shifting its focus to Yamato and Momonosuke, who aim to stop Onigashima from destroying the Flower Capital while Zoro and Sanji continue battling Queen and King respectively.
In conclusion, One Piece episode 1051 was an intense and action-packed episode that left the fans wanting more. Despite the anime version trailing behind the manga, the loyal fans are still eagerly anticipating the completion of the Wanokuni Arc. They are willing to wait for the hiatus to be over so that once again, they can see their favorite anime characters on screen fighting courageously for their cause.
