What to Expect From One Piece Episode 1163

Episode 1162 of One Piece mainly focused on the Straw Hats experiencing the breathtaking scenery of Elbaf while the emotional weight surrounding Robin’s past continued to build. The episode adapted the crew’s deeper exploration of the island and further emphasized how important Elbaf’s history and culture may become in the Final Saga.

However, the biggest highlight came from the ending and the preview for Episode 1163, which finally teased Robin’s long-awaited reunion with Saul. The teaser strongly suggests that the anime will fully focus on their emotional encounter next week, potentially delivering one of the most heartfelt episodes in the Elbaf Arc so far.

Since Robin believed Saul was dead for most of her life, the upcoming episode could easily become one of the most emotional Robin-centered moments in recent years.
