What to Expect From One Piece Episode 1160

From the early preview and teaser (via ONE PIECE Official YouTube Channel), Episode 1160 looks like the actual beginning of the Elbaf arc storyline. The title “An Encounter on a Snowfield – Loki, the Accursed Prince” and the teaser strongly suggest that we may finally get to see Loki in the anime adaptation!

The title also indicates that the introduction may not be that simple. Instead, the preview shows that the setting shifts to a harsh snowfield, hinting at a change in tone and environment.

Thus, in a typical One Piece way, we can expect a mix of strong character moments, Oda’s signature storytelling, and a cliffhanger at the end that will push the arc into its next phase.

Where to Watch One Piece Episode 1160

Episode 1160 is available to watch online via Crunchyroll. The platform is currently offering the series in regions like North America, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Netflix is also offering the Elbaf Arc. However, it usually comes with a delay, as new episodes on Netflix are typically released about a week later than Crunchyroll’s release date. Thus, if you want to stay updated as soon as it gets released in Japan, then Crunchyroll is the best platform.
