As the Egghead arc continues to escalate, One Piece Episode 1144 is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal moments in the series.
The upcoming episode promises stunning animation, high-stakes battles, and the dramatic arrival of all five members of the Gorosei — making this the “worst nightmare” that fans have been waiting for.
One Piece Episode 1144 will premiere on Sunday, September 21, 2025, and will be available for streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll. Fans can catch the episode at 4:45 PM BST, which corresponds to 11:45 AM ET and 8:45 AM PT.
Subtitled versions will be released immediately, though some viewers may need to refresh due to Crunchyroll’s usual server rush during major episodes.
Episode 1143 delivered a mix of chaos and hilarity that only Gear 5 Luffy could bring. His showdown with Saturn and Kizaru reached a new level of absurd brilliance as he squashed them flat and spun them like pizza dough, leading fans to jokingly dub Kizaru “Pizzaru.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Vegapunk’s worldwide broadcast countdown finally began, sparking global panic and anticipation. From Dressrosa to Water 7, characters across the seas scrambled to tune in. Even Dragon and the Revolutionary Army were shown watching, silently contemplating what Vegapunk’s final words might mean for the world.
Saturn’s UFO-like transformation added to the episode’s surreal tone, and while the pacing was slower than some expected, the combination of comedy, tension, and lore build-up had the fandom buzzing.
