What to anticipate (speculative)?
The trailer for One Piece Episode 1053 indicates that Sanji and Queen will be the main characters. As Sanji’s body seems to be malfunctioning, this episode will likely centre on the cook’s emotions and thoughts while he is attacked by Queen. Between these acts, viewers may expect to hear more of Zoro’s conflict with King. After Luffy vs. Kaido, the clash between Zoro and Sanji on Onigashima is the most crucial conflict in the upcoming episodes. Fans may rest certain that Toei Animation will continue to do so starting with One Piece Episode 1053.
On Sunday, February 26, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. JST, the release of One Piece Episode 1053 is scheduled. Fans are eager to watch how Luffy handles the fight in the next episode after the intriguing indication that Kaido’s might is waning in the last episode. All eyes are on Momonosuke and Yamato as they attempt to ensure the safety of the Flower Capital. Verifiable spoiler material is presently lacking for One Piece Episode 1053, therefore it is unclear how much of this will be covered in the episode. Previewing Sanji’s battle with Queen makes it seem doubtful that the aforementioned will be given any attention. At least now fans know when to expect the much-anticipated episode to air.
This Sunday, February 26, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. JST, local Japanese networks will begin showing Episode 1053 of One Piece. It’s equivalent to a Saturday night local release window for a subset of overseas fans. Nevertheless, for most overseas fans, including Japanese viewers, the episode will not be accessible until Sunday AM local time. The precise release date and hour will be different in each country and timezone. Crunchyroll will stream the episode around 90 minutes after it airs in Japan. Funimation is still providing weekly streaming of the show’s new episodes, although their delay is far greater than Crunchyroll’s. Hence, Crunchyroll is your best bet for seeing the next episode when it airs.
When it becomes available, One Piece Episode 1053 will be viewable on Crunchyroll in the following time zones:
Sat., Feb. 25 @ 6:00 p.m. PST
On Saturday, February 25th, at 9:00 p.m.
At the stroke of two in the morning of Sunday, February 26 (GMT),
It is Sunday, February 26 at 3 a.m. in Central European Time.
Sunday, February 26 at 7:30 a.m., Indian Standard Time
Sunday, February 26th at 10:00 a.m., Philippine Standard Time

Synopsis of Episode 1052
The events of Episode 1052 of One Piece began with Momonosuke and Yamato evading falling rocks from Onigashima, with Yamato observing that Kaido’s power is waning via his Flame Clouds. But, the Flower Capital will be in jeopardy if Onigashima falls. Thus, Yamato instructed Momonosuke to create Flame Clouds to counter Kaido’s and provide cover for Onigashima. Yamato emphasised that this is especially important because Onigashima is so loaded with weaponry and explosives that it is virtually a flying bomb. Yamato and Momonosuke must safeguard everyone’s safety while Luffy is engaged in fighting Kaido, leaving no time to flee the Flower City.
Back on the Living Floor, Sanji and Zoro were now facing off as Queen and King. At first, all eyes were on Sanji, who appeared startled that Queen’s heavy blows did him no harm. In the meantime, Queen prodded Sanji to put on the Raid Suit. When King was unable to force Zoro from the island with a single stroke, Zoro was sent tumbling down the cliffs. When the programme concluded, though, he had managed to get back up.
