Release date and time, where to watch
One Piece episode 1063 is set to begin airing on local Japanese networks at 9:30 am JST on Sunday, May 28, 2023. For some 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 locally. Exact time of release, however, 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 on a weekly basis, their delay time is much longer than Crunchyroll’s. Resultantly, Crunchyroll is the overall better option for viewing the upcoming episode.
One Piece episode 1063 will be made available on Crunchyroll at the following times in the corresponding time zones:
- Pacific Standard Time: 6 pm, Saturday, May 27
- Eastern Standard Time: 9 pm, Saturday, May 27
- Greenwich Mean Time: 2 am, Sunday, May 28
- Central European Time: 3 am, Sunday, May 28
- Indian Standard Time: 7:30 am, Sunday, May 28
- Philippine Standard Time: 10 am, Sunday, May 28
- Japanese Standard Time: 11 am, Sunday, May 28
- Australia Central Standard Time: 11:30 am, Sunday, May 28
Episode 1062 recap
One Piece episode 1062 began with Zoro realizing that the flames on King’s back are directly related to his durability. When the flames are activated, King is hard to damage but moves slower, and when they’re deactivated, he’s faster but more susceptible to damage. Seeing a moment of opportunity, Zoro strikes with force at King, successfully destroying his mask.
This leads to King’s face being revealed for the very first time, with his comrades identifying his status as a Lunarian due to his facial features and characteristics. However, King incinerates them after they bring up the bounty for information on King’s kind. Zoro and King’s battle then continues, with King recognizing Zoro as dangerous and Zoro realizing he doesn't have much time left.
This begins a flashback which shows King and Kaido first meeting on Punk Hazard, where Kaido freed King from World Government experiments. The two then escaped together, with King revealing he joined Kaido because he considered him to be Joy Boy.
The fight then began its final moments, where Zoro used his new King of Hell technique to decisively end the battle, declaring he’ll even become the King of Hell to make Luffy the next Pirate King.
What to expect (speculative)
With the preview for One Piece episode 1063 highlighting several different characters and focuses, fans can expect the upcoming installment to serve as a breather for the series. While Luffy and Kaido can be seen in the episode, the upcoming release will likely not focus exclusively on them, especially with Law and Kid versus Big Mom still needing to wrap up.
However, the fact that the series might be taking a breather episode after two intense fights likely means that the installment after One Piece episode 1063 will again focus on combat. While fans are advocating for Luffy versus Kaido being up next, there is still the aforementioned Big Mom fight to address before going to the Wano arc’s main event.
