Every Monday brings with it the start of a new spoiler cycle for One Piece, and this week brings us Chapter 1073, written by Eiichiro Oda. Although there are few clues to rely on, fans have a series of unverified spoilers of One Piece Chapter 1073 that seem to picture an excitingly disturbing problem. These spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1073 are highly suspect unless they have been verified by the spoiler community as a whole. Fans have something to do while waiting for confirmed spoilers to be disclosed, and the clues don’t need any extra proof to study and deconstruct.
Rumours about Kuma’s flashback and Blackbeard’s return in One Piece chapter 1073 have not been confirmed. On the evening of January 22, 2023, Redon released the first chapter 1073 clue for One Piece. The hint is a simple GIF of a “Hype-O-Meter” needle flicking up to its maximum reading. A blinking indication labelled “PEAK” can be seen to the right of the gauge. The suggestion may not give much away about the issue’s plot, but it does assure readers that it will be a fun read.
Fans were already on the right track with their speculations after last week’s announcement. Redon’s hint at least seems to validate what many fans have suspected all along. One of the series’ Arabic leakers, @shnksq (SHANKS), has posted a tip for One Piece Chapter 1073. There’s a GIF of Batman from one of his cartoon or movie appearances in the clue. His head is repeatedly thrown into his hand as he sits in a chair in his bat cave, giving the impression of disappointment or exhaustion.
While at first glance these two ideas seem diametrically opposed to Redon’s tip, they may be easily combined to form a single, complementary perspective. In the same way that a thrilling chapter doesn’t guarantee that readers won’t be let down by the next one, neither does the presence of disappointing or distressing events in an issue diminish the thrill of reading it. So, these two indications present a conflicted picture of the future issue. These are, unfortunately, the only teasers we have for One Piece Chapter 1073. However, the @OPSCANS (OP Scans) team’s Fenaker may have leaked some spoilers.
Based on these rumours, the next issue will feature Kuma’s flashback, Blackbeard’s return, and the beginning of Stussy vs Rob Lucci. Even next week, there will be no respite. Fans shouldn’t take these spoilers at face value until they’ve been validated by the series’ leaker community as a whole. If accurate, however, they explain everything about why Redon and SHANKS dropped those two hints on supporters.
Even though Blackbeard’s return is exhilarating, it probably means that Trafalgar D. Water Law has lost the fight and may have even lost his Devil Fruit because of it. Kuma’s flashback has been a much-awaited part of the Egghead Island storyline, so this is fantastic news. Many readers will be relieved and thrilled to see his flashback begin in the next issue. As an additional exciting turn of events, her alliance with Dr Vegapunk would be confirmed in One Piece chapter 1073, which depicts a battle between Stussy and Rob Lucci.
