Tokyo, Japan – Fans of the long-running One Piece anime witnessed the release of Episode 1150 on November 16, 2025, on Crunchyroll, with Netflix subscribers slated to receive it on November 22, 2025. Titled “Get the Ship Moving! The Iron Giant Activates!”, the episode dives deeper into the escalating events of the Egghead Arc, bringing the Straw Hat Pirates closer to the arc’s anticipated conclusion by the end of the year.
The latest installment promises significant developments, particularly surrounding the mysterious Iron Giant and its pivotal role in the ongoing conflict.
The Egghead Arc Nears its Explosive Finale
Episode 1150 continues the intense narrative of the Egghead Arc, which has been captivating audiences since its return in April 2025 after a hiatus. The arc, praised for its lore-heavy revelations, has seen Dr. Vegapunk disclose crucial information about the Void Century and Joy Boy, dramatically shifting the storyline and teasing earth-shattering revelations.
In the preceding episode, “The Void Century – A Revelation About a Sinking World,” Vegapunk’s broadcast began, hinting at the end of the One Piece world and the imminent conclusion of the Egghead arc itself. This revelation has set the stage for a heightened confrontation between the Straw Hat Pirates and the formidable Five Elders.
The Iron Giant’s Activation and Plot Developments
The central focus of Episode 1150 revolves around the activation of the Iron Giant. In the prior episode, York revealed to the Five Elders that the source of the ongoing situation was located within the Iron Giant, which was in a Fabiriophase. This disclosure undoubtedly directs the attention of the powerful Five Elders towards the colossal entity.
The Iron Giant has thus far appeared almost invulnerable, having withstood numerous cannonball attacks from the Marines without a scratch. However, the Five Elders possess capabilities that could potentially damage such a formidable structure, raising stakes for its involvement. As the title suggests, the episode will detail the efforts to get the ship moving and the Iron Giant’s subsequent activation, likely unveiling its strength and impact on the Straw Hats’ escape plans.
Streaming Availability and Future of the Anime
One Piece Episode 1150 became available on Crunchyroll on November 16, 2025, at various times globally, including 8:45 AM Pacific Time/11:45 AM Eastern Time in the US, and 4:45 PM GMT in the UK. Netflix subscribers will have access to the episode a week later, on November 22, 2025.
This episode is part of the final stretch of the Egghead Arc, which is expected to conclude by December 2025. Speculation suggests that Episode 1155 could mark the finale of this arc, as hinted by a cake shared by the voice acting cast bearing the number ‘1155’ after recording their parts for the arc’s conclusion. Following the Egghead Arc, the One Piece anime is slated to transition to a seasonal release schedule, with the Elbaf Arc confirmed to premiere in April 2026 after a three-month break. This shift aims to maintain a healthy gap between the manga and anime, ensuring a faithful 1:1 adaptation pace.
