The following article contains a brief discussion of suicide and other intense themes.
One Piece episode #1163 was one of the anime’s most beautiful and emotional episodes to date, and it left plenty to be excited about for episode #1164 and beyond. Fans have been waiting for Robin and Saul’s reunion on Elbaph for over two years now, and suffice to say, the anime succeeded with it in almost every regard.
With the Straw Hats finally reunited on Elbaph, their first order of business was seeing Robin reunite with Saul following the revelation that he had survived the Buster Call and had been living on Elbaph for the past 22 years. On their way there, it seemed like there would be unexpected drama making things harder for Robin, but after everything Robin had been through, she wasn’t willing to let it stop her, and she was all the better for it.
What Time One Piece Episode 1164 Releases
As with previous episodes, the One Piece anime streams new episodes weekly on Crunchyroll and Netflix, which can be accessed through their apps, websites, or third-party websites like Amazon Prime. Assuming there are no delays, One Piece episode #1164 should premiere on Crunchyroll on Sunday, May 31 at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), and 5:00 PM British Summer Time (BST), with the same episode debuting the following Saturday on Netflix, as well.
What Happened In One Piece Episode 1163?
One-Piece-Episode-1163-Robin
One Piece episode #1163, “I Want You to Praise Me – The Reunion of Robin and Saul”, opened with a flashback to Robin’s childhood when she was first branded a criminal and a demon following the destruction of Ohara. Robin was constantly on the run from people trying to kill her and tell her that she had no right to live, and at one point, Robin did try to kill herself, but she only stopped because of Saul and her mother’s words, even if she didn’t believe there was a point to staying alive.
Back in the present, the Straw Hat Pirates were finally reunited on Elbaph, but while the giants wanted to prepare a feast for them, they put it on hold to join Robin for her reunion with Saul. Gerd brought them to the Owl Library, where Saul worked as a history professor, but when they landed, a giant told them that Saul had suddenly collapsed on the lake shore. Robin, however, was surprisingly unfazed, and she went off alone to see Saul on the beach.
One Piece Is Repeating The Same Major Mistake That Killed Naruto’s Ending
As god-tier enemies shatter the power scale, One Piece is walking right into Naruto’s most divisive endgame trap.
Sure enough, Saul was completely fine, and it was just that he was so nervous about seeing Robin that he tried to cut the tension by recreating their first meeting. Saul then explained that he survived because the Buster Call only melted Aokiji’s ice, but all Robin wanted to hear was praise for being alive. What followed was a montage of all the good times Robin had with the Straw Hats, and the episode ended on Robin and Saul’s tearful embrace after missing each other for so many years.
One Piece Episode 1163 Is The Anime At Its Peak

There was incredible hype for One Piece episode #1163, and it more than lived up to the hype. Robin and Saul’s reunion was as emotional as one would expect and a perfect way of rewarding Robin for all the suffering she had gone through, and between the gorgeous animation from Vincent Chansard and Yasunori Koyama, the montages of every good and bad moment in Robin’s life, and the beautiful insert song from Maki Otsuki, it was even more emotional than the original manga.

01
Monkey D. Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and dreams of becoming King of the Pirates. He gained his signature stretching abilities by eating a Devil Fruit as a child. What was this fruit originally believed to be called?
✓ Correct! The Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum-Gum Fruit) was what Luffy’s Devil Fruit was believed to be — a Paramecia-type fruit that turned his body into rubber. Luffy accidentally ate it from the treasure chest of the Red Hair Pirates when he was a child in Foosha Village.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is the Gomu Gomu no Mi. The Mera Mera no Mi is the Flame-Flame Fruit eaten by Ace, the Bara Bara no Mi is Buggy’s Chop-Chop Fruit, and the Hana Hana no Mi is Robin’s Flower-Flower Fruit.
02
The One Piece world is divided by a massive geological formation that runs around the entire globe, separating the oceans. What is this continent-like structure called?
✓ Correct! The Red Line is a massive continent that circles the globe vertically, dividing the world’s oceans into four seas: North Blue, South Blue, East Blue, and West Blue. It intersects with the Grand Line at two points, including the holy land of Mary Geoise.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is the Red Line. The Grand Line is the ocean route where pirates compete, the Calm Belt is a windless sea surrounding it full of Sea Kings, and Reverse Mountain is the entry point to the Grand Line. The Red Line is the massive continent dividing the world.
03
In the One Piece world, there is a spiritual power that allows users to sense others’ presence, predict attacks, and even exert their willpower over others. What is this power called?
✓ Correct! Haki is a mysterious power that exists in every living being in the One Piece world. It comes in three types: Observation Haki (sensing), Armament Haki (invisible armor), and the rare Conqueror’s Haki (dominating willpower), which only one in a million people possess.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is Haki. Chakra is the energy system from Naruto, Nen is from Hunter x Hunter, and Ki is from Dragon Ball. Haki is One Piece’s unique power system with three distinct forms: Observation, Armament, and Conqueror’s.
04
The Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) were powerful pirates who worked for the World Government in exchange for pardons. Which of these characters was NOT one of the original Seven Warlords?
✓ Correct! Kaido was never a Warlord — he was one of the Four Emperors (Yonko), the most powerful pirates ruling the New World. Known as “the Strongest Creature in the World,” Kaido ruled over Wano Country with the Beast Pirates. Mihawk, Crocodile, and Doflamingo were all Warlords.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is Kaido. Mihawk (the world’s greatest swordsman), Crocodile (the desert king of Alabasta), and Doflamingo (the Heavenly Demon) were all Warlords. Kaido was a Yonko — an Emperor of the Sea — a rank above the Warlords entirely.
05
The Marineford War arc is considered one of the most emotional and pivotal arcs in One Piece. Luffy desperately fought to save someone important to him from execution. Who was Luffy trying to save?

Luffy broke into Impel Down prison and then stormed Marineford itself in a desperate attempt to save Ace, leading to one of the most heartbreaking moments in anime history.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is Portgas D. Ace. Nico Robin was rescued during the Enies Lobby arc, Zoro is rarely in that kind of danger, and Sabo was believed dead at the time. Ace’s execution at Marineford triggered an all-out war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines.
06
Roronoa Zoro is the first member to join Luffy’s crew and serves as the Straw Hats’ swordsman. He has a unique fighting style. How many swords does Zoro wield in his signature technique?

✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is three. Zoro’s signature Santoryu (Three Sword Style) involves wielding one sword in each hand and gripping the third in his mouth. While he can fight with one or two swords, his three-sword technique is his most iconic and powerful combat form.
07
The World Government in One Piece is controlled by a mysterious group of individuals who sit at the very top of its power structure, above even the Admirals and the Fleet Admiral. What are they called?

They command all military and political power, including the authority to order a Buster Call. Their true nature and abilities have only recently been revealed in the series.
