The airing of One Piece Episode 1051 has been scheduled for Sunday, February 12, 2023, at 9:30 am JST. After last week’s emotional reunion between Luffy and Yamato on the battlefield of the Skull Dome Rooftop, viewers have been eager to learn if the Straw Hat would be battling Kaido alone. They’re also curious about Momonosuke, in case he decides to join the aforementioned two in their struggle against Kaido. Since reliable spoiler information for One Piece Episode, 1051 is not yet available, this is unfortunately unknown. Still, the episode’s much-awaited premiere time and date may now be marked on fans’ calendars.
When/where can we expect the premiere?
On the 12th of February, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. JST, local Japanese networks will screen Episode 1051 of One Piece. This equates to a local release window of Saturday night for a subset of foreign fans. Most fans across the world, including those in Japan, won’t be able to see the show until Sunday morning. The actual release time is dependent on your location and time zone. About 90 minutes after the episode premieres in Japan, it will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll. Funimation still provides its customers with weekly episodes of the show, although at a considerably longer wait than Crunchyroll. If you want to see the next episode, I recommend doing so on Crunchyroll.

Synopsis of Episode 1050
In the opening moments of episode 1050, Luffy expressed his appreciation to Yamato for fending off Kaido. The exhausted Momonosuke and Yamato started to feel better, and Kaido made an appearance in dragon shape to remark on Luffy’s survival. He didn’t even recognise Momonosuke in his dragon shape, so he inquired who he was as well. It was then that Momonosuke declared his goal to become the Shogun of Wano. Next, we visited the Mink people. Both dragons were unable to transform into their Sulong forms because of the clouds that formed as a result of the battle. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were outmatched by Jack and Perosepro because they lacked the energy to complete their transformations.
It didn’t help that Carrot, Wanda, Shishilian, and Bariete were all too tired to participate in either battle. The action then shifted back to the Skull Dome Rooftop, where Luffy and Momonosuke were continuing their battle against Kaido. Avoiding Kaido’s fireballs was all Momonosuke could do; he wasn’t yet proficient enough to return fire for fire. Momonosuke, who was first apprehensive when Luffy urged him to bite Kaido, eventually did so after thinking of the sacrifices his parents had made for him. The episode concluded with Momonosuke biting Kaido, and Luffy assuring him that he had nothing to worry about after biting Yonko.
What to Anticipate (speculative) for Episode 1051?
The battle between Momonosuke and Luffy and Kaido is anticipated to resume at the top of One Piece 1051. This is something that is also displayed in the promo for the episode. Both Zoro and Sanji’s clashes against the King and Queen seen in the promo are expected to appear in this episode. Furthermore, it proves that Orochi Kurozumi is back. Fans may expect further conversation between Luffy and Momonosuke on why the latter shouldn’t be afraid anymore beyond what is already seen in the trailer.
Based on what we know about Luffy thus far, he will argue that the future Shogun of Wano cannot be frightened by any of the country’s foes. The battle between Luffy and Kaido should conclude well in Episode 1051 of One Piece, allowing the show to shift its attention to the remaining battles on Onigashima. Nekomamushi and Perospero, Inuarashi and Jack the Drought, Raizo and Fukurokuju, Sanji and the Queen, and Zoro and the King are just a few examples. As soon as these bouts are over, the emphasis will shift to Luffy vs. Kaido.
