Episode 1078 recap

One Piece episode 1078 continued the events of the previous installment, where Hiyori Kozuki and the Akazaya 9 appeared in front of the people of Wano.

Momonosuke emerged from the smoke, revealing his true identity and debuting his fully grown adult form for the first time. He told the people that they were free and that the era of slavery and factory production in Wano had officially come to an end.

The episode then saw Yamato introduce themselves to the rest of the Straw Hat pirates, declaring that they would join the crew. Jinbe countered that until Luffy says so himself, they can’t trust Yamato’s words.

Otama explained that her Devil Fruits’ powers would wear off after a month and that some of the animals would stay and others would leave. Horselina promised to stay with Otama after, with the young girl asking her to be her mother going forward.

Otama then had a flashback to the death of her parents when learning of Momonosuke’s return, remembering when Tenguyama Hitetsu promised that the Kozuki would one day come back. She also remembered Luffy’s promise to make Wano a place where everyone could eat as much as they wanted before he left.

What to expect (speculative)

With One Piece episode 1079 set to begin the winddown of the Wano arc, fans have no idea what to expect next. While there’s obviously the matter of Zoro and Luffy’s recovery, as well as some likely bounty updates, viewers are unsure of what else will be the focus of the wrap-up period.

One aspect of the arc that One Piece episode 1079 and future installments will need to address is the location of Kaido’s Road Poneglyph. With the series previously confirming that he was in possession of one, it seems wholly unlikely that the Straw Hats will leave Wano without finding it.
