In the aftermath of author Eiichiro Oda’s last epic declaration last week, fans are screaming for any information about One Piece chapter 1053. While no official spoiler for the issue has been provided as of this writing, there are some indications and promises as well as knowledge of what the cover will be. Additionally, it seems the assumption expressed by fans that the Wano arc will be concluding in One Piece chapter 1053 is erroneous. Per Twitter user, highly respected One Piece leaker and news reporter @ScotchInformer (Scotch), the Wano arc will not be finishing in chapter 1053. Follow along as this article analyses down these latest One Piece chapter 1053 teases and promises.
Release date and time
One Piece chapter 1053 is slated to formally debut on Sunday, June 19, 2022, for most foreign readers, which would be Monday. Those in Japan may tune in on June 20. The issue will be available to worldwide readers via two official sources, both of which are digital.
The first source is Viz Media’s MANGA Plus service, which is free for anybody to use. However, it often shows the first and final three issues of a series. Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app is a subscription service but allows customers to view the full of a series rather than the first and latest three chapters. The issue is set to be issued at the following times for the respective time zones:
Pacific Time: 8.00 AM PST (June 19) (June 19)
11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (June 19)
8:30 p.m. local time in India (June 19)
British Summer Time (BST): 4:00 p.m. (June 19)
Eastern Daylight Time (CEST) 5:00 PM (June 19)
11:00 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (June 19)
Noon JST (Japanese Standard Time) (June 20)
12:0 a.m. Australian Central Standard Time (June 20)
Information and hints that have been revealed thus far
As previously stated, spoilers for One Piece chapter 1053 are currently unavailable. Various leaders, however, have provided a peek at the cover and some teases about the content and overall quality of the book. According to reputable One Piece leaker and news reporter @Epicopboy, the issue will feature a colour spread rather than an exclusive cover story on Twitter user @Epicopboy. The announcement of the final saga of the series last week is most likely the reason for this. It’s worth noting, however, that this is very much an open-ended question.
Twitter user @Epicopboy gave the chapter a 10/10 rating about 19 hours later. The identities of the new Yonko and the new bounties of everyone have been confirmed to be revealed in the upcoming issue. The Wano arc will not end in chapter 1053, according to @Epicopboy, based on @ScotchInformer’s tweet. For the 1054th issue and possibly beyond, it has been confirmed.
Expectations (speculative)
One Piece chapter 1053 appears to be a highly anticipated issue based on all the tidbits from reputable sources. It appears that Admiral Ryokugyu and the Straw Hats and Scabbards will face off in the Wano arc, which has been confirmed by reliable sources. If the Wano arc does continue, it may do so as a post-arc narrative. What happens to Big Mom’s crew, the two Yonko, the Road Poneglyph that Kaido left behind, and other unanswered questions will almost certainly be addressed in the post-Wano arc.
The return of Big Mom and Kaido, who have been submerged in magma for a week, is one of the series’ least plausible plot points. Despite the hopes of a few, One Piece chapter 1053 is unlikely to explore that strand of the story.
