One Piece Episode 1180: Release Date, Time, What to Expect & How to Watch

After the tense ending in the previous episode, One Piece is about to push the Giants into an even darker situation. Now, Episode 1180 is reportedly titled “Elbaph in Despair – Diabolical Covenant, ‘Domi Reversi’” and is scheduled to release on September 27, 2026 (via the official website).

The title alone suggests that the Elbaf conflict is about to take a much darker turn, especially after Imu took control of Gunko at the end of the previous episode. Episode 1179 of One Piece saw Gaban defeat Sommers before sacrificing himself to protect Colon, while Gunko’s mysterious connection to Brook finally started to surface. Here’s everything you need to know before the next episode arrives.

One Piece Episode 1180 Release Date and Time

Episode 1180 of One Piece is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in Japan. The episode is expected to follow the anime’s regular weekly broadcast schedule, with the Japanese broadcast taking place at around 11:15 PM JST via Fuji TV and its affiliated networks (via the official website).

International viewers can expect Episode 1180 to arrive on Crunchyroll according to their respective regional schedules. Crunchyroll currently streams One Piece internationally, including in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand (via Crunchyroll).

What to Expect From One Piece Episode 1180

One Piece Episode 1179 changed the entire situation in Elbaf. Gaban proved that he could seriously injure Sommers and eventually defeated the Knight of God, showing why he was known as Roger’s “left hand.” However, his victory came at a huge personal cost.

After reaching Colon, Gaban found himself in a difficult position. Gunko threatened to kill his son, and Gaban’s Observation Haki showed him that continuing the fight could cost Colon his life. He therefore dropped his axes and surrendered, allowing Gunko to attack him and send him falling into the Underworld.

At the same time, the ending of Episode 1179 introduced a much more dangerous threat when Imu possessed Gunko. This is where the title of Episode 1180 becomes especially interesting. The reported title, “Elbaph in Despair – Diabolical Covenant, ‘Domi Reversi’,” strongly suggests that the episode will focus on Imu’s power and the mysterious Domi Reversi.

The timing could not be worse for the Giants. They were already struggling to protect their children, school, library, and history. Gaban’s arrival gave them some hope; now Imu’s arrival could completely reverse that situation. Episode 1180 could therefore mark a major turning point for the Elbaf Arc.
