One Piece Episode 1097 will feature Dragon’s and Vegapunk’s past – but why isn’t it on this week? Here’s what you need to know.
One Piece anime is currently featuring the Egghead Arc of the Final Saga. The arc debuted in January 2024 and has featured a lot of thrilling moments already. The recent episode confirms that Jaguar D. Saul is still alive and is currently in hiding.
He’s researching Ohara’s discoveries about the Great Kingdom. The World Government doesn’t know that they failed to destroy the research papers. The episode also features the highly anticipated debut of the mysterious Dr. Vegapunk.
Luffy and the others are shocked and excited to see Vegapunk. One Piece Episode 1097 will shed light on Dragon’s and Vegapunk’s past and a major truth about the Revolutionary Army. However, the episode has been delayed.
Why One Piece Episode 1097 has been delayed
One Piece Episode 1097 will officially air on March 17. Although delays usually occur because the animation studio often shows recaps, that’s not the case this time. The recent episode includes a preview of Episode 1097, which wouldn’t happen if the studio wanted to broadcast a recap. Each year around this time, the broadcast network covers the national marathon in Japan.

What is happening in the One Piece anime?
Shaka reveals that there used to be a kingdom that was highly advanced in technology. He talks about a man who dedicated his entire life to archeology and brought that ancient kingdom’s truth to light.
Robin understands that the time period Shaka is talking about is, in fact, the mysterious Void Century. Shaka says that because of Ohara’s research, they know so much about the technology of that kingdom. The World Government takes severe measures to ensure that the truth about the forbidden kingdom won’t come to light.
The Vegapunk Satellite also confirms that despite the tragedy, the “Will of Ohara” still lives. The World Government destroyed the island and the people, but they couldn’t destroy their hard work. The center of the lake in Ohara was full of research papers that the giants were fishing out.
That information is valuable to uncovering the major truth about the world’s true history. Saul, along with the rest of the giants, is researching the documents in hopes of finding the truth. Robin finds out that her dear friend, whom she has missed all this time, is alive and well. Vegapunk also makes a dramatic debut; this time, it’s his real body.
