One Piece Episode 1174: Release Date, Time, What to Expect & How to Watch

After exposing the terrifying powers of the Holy Knights in the previous episode, One Piece is now pushing the Elbaf Arc into an even darker and more intense phase. One Piece Episode 1174, reportedly titled “Save the Children! The Elbaf Warriors Rise Up“, is scheduled to release on August 16, 2026, with no break in the anime’s broadcast schedule (via the official website).

Episode 1173 showed how heartless the Holy Knights were as they made children of Elbaf their victims, while treating their suffering like a game. At the same time, Loki’s condition and his final question about Harald’s death added a new layer of mystery to the story.

What to Expect From One Piece Episode 1174

In Episode 1173 of One Piece, the Elbaf arc took a much darker turn as the Holy Knights progressed in their plans. The children of Elbaf were forced into a nightmare-like state, walking helplessly toward danger while monstrous manifestations of their fears attacked the island. Saul, Robin, and the rest tried to protect them, but everything went out of hand very fast.

At the same time, the Underworld storyline added another major twist. Loki, who previously seemed dangerous, fell to the ground because of his wounds. Luffy’s decision to save him instead of letting him die stayed true to his character, but Loki’s final question about whether he truly killed Harald raised serious doubts about Elbaf’s accepted history.

Now, the title of the next episode, “Save the Children! The Elbaf Warriors Rise Up” strongly suggests a shift in momentum. The title hints that Elbaf’s warriors will finally step in to counter the Holy Knights’ actions, possibly leading to a large-scale rescue effort.

It is highly possible that the chaos created by the nightmares will continue, but it is clear that the giants will not stand aside anymore. With the children still in danger and the Holy Knights showing no concern for their lives, this episode could mark the beginning of Elbaf’s full resistance.

Moreover, it is clear that the plot related to Loki’s story will still continue in the background. While the focus may shift toward action, his question about Harald’s death has already planted doubt that will likely shape the arc moving forward.
