One Piece Episode 1147, titled “A Stunning Conclusion – Vegapunk’s Great Prediction,” aired on October 26, 2025, delivering pivotal developments within the ongoing Egghead Arc. The episode culminates in Dr. Vegapunk’s highly anticipated worldwide broadcast, revealing a secret that the World Government has desperately tried to keep hidden, while the Straw Hat Pirates engage in a fierce battle against the formidable Five Elders to ensure the message reaches the world.
The Long-Awaited Broadcast of Dr. Vegapunk
At the heart of Episode 1147 is the dramatic moment of Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast. For months, fans have anticipated this revelation, and the episode finally unveils the “big secret” that Vegapunk risked his life to share with the world. This broadcast is poised to profoundly change global perceptions and understanding, justifying the extreme measures the World Government has taken to silence the brilliant scientist. The content of Vegapunk’s message is a critical turning point in the One Piece narrative, holding the potential to destabilize the existing power structures.
Intensifying Conflict on Egghead Island
As Vegapunk’s message goes live, the battle on Egghead Island escalates dramatically. The Five Elders, representing the highest authority of the World Government, unleash their terrifying power against Monkey D. Luffy and his allies. The Straw Hats find themselves in a desperate struggle, their primary objective being to buy enough time for Vegapunk’s truth to disseminate globally.
Luffy, having utilized his powerful Gear Five form in previous encounters, is depicted as exhausted, adding another layer of challenge to the Straw Hats’ defense. The cinematic showcase of destruction and intense combat highlights the dire stakes of this confrontation, with the World Government fiercely committed to preventing any information leaks.

Future of the One Piece Anime: A Shift to Seasonal Releases
Looking beyond Episode 1147 and the conclusion of the Egghead Arc, significant changes are planned for the One Piece anime’s production schedule. Toei Animation has announced that starting in 2026, the anime will transition from its long-standing weekly format to a seasonal release.
This new schedule will involve a three-month production hiatus from January to March 2026, with the anime returning in April 2026 to commence the highly anticipated Elbaf Arc. From this point, One Piece will broadcast a maximum of 26 episodes per year, split into two parts. Toei Animation stated that this shift aims to enhance the quality, tempo, and pacing of the anime adaptation, allowing for a more faithful and immersive rendition of Eiichiro Oda’s original manga. This change marks a monumental shift for a series that has largely aired continuously since its debut in 1999.
