One Piece Episode 1151 is shaping up to be one of the most emotional moments of the Egghead Island arc — but fans will need to wait just a little longer. Toei Animation has confirmed another recap episode, pushing back the highly anticipated continuation of the Final Saga.
Delays aren’t new for One Piece this year, but this one hits harder than usual, especially with the Egghead arc rapidly building toward its climax. According to official announcements, One Piece Episode 1151 is now scheduled to release on November 30, 2025.

Originally, the episode was expected to air on November 23. Instead, viewers received a recap special titled “Dr. Chopper’s Adventure Checkup – The ‘Final World Broadcast’ That the Genius Left Behind.” This special recaps Vegapunk’s historic world broadcast — the message that shook the world before the Five Elders abruptly cut the transmission.
For fans catching up legally, One Piece remains available on multiple platforms including Crunchyroll and Netflix (selected arcs). Episode 1151 will broadcast in Japan first before becoming accessible internationally. After this recap episode, the anime will officially return to its regular release schedule.

Episode 1150 delivered worldwide reactions to Vegapunk’s broadcast as chaos spread across Egghead Island. One of the standout moments was Zoro’s intense fight with one of the Five Elders, preventing him from reaching and destroying the Thousand Sunny. The animation in this sequence was highly praised as fans celebrated another heroic Zoro highlight.
The episode’s major turning point came when the Five Elders finally terminated Vegapunk’s broadcast. Just as he began to explain the mystery of the “Will of D”, a coordinated strike submerged the Iron Giant and severed the transmission mid-revelation — a moment that felt dramatic and cruel, though very typical of One Piece storytelling.

Meanwhile, Luffy continues racing back to the island alongside the Elbaf giants, where Bonney and Sanji desperately wait for extraction. The Marines are doubling down in their mission to stop any escape.

Based on the setup — and the emotional foundation laid by recent episodes — One Piece Episode 1151 is expected to center on Bonney, her childhood memories, her resilience, and her heartbreaking fight to escape the fate she shares with Kuma.

With the Egghead arc nearing its conclusion, this could be her last major character spotlight before the story transitions toward Elbaph.

There’s also rising speculation that the Iron Giant may not be gone for good, as its disappearance at the bottom of the sea feels suspiciously abrupt for a figure tied so closely to Joy Boy’s legacy.
Most importantly, the Straw Hat Pirates are now preparing for their final push to escape Egghead. Episode 1151 could very well mark the beginning of the end of this chaotic and unforgettable arc
