One Piece releases new teaser for Episode 1128 — teases Saint Saturn's demonic form
The One Piece anime just dropped a brand new teaser for Episode 1128, and it has already set the internet on fire. Shared by the official One Piece Twitter handle, the 15-second teaser gives fans a quick but epic glimpse of what's to come in the next episode titled 'The Nightmare Strikes - Godhead of Science & Defence, St. Saturn.'
The teaser features high-intensity scenes like Luffy vs Kizaru and Zoro vs Lucci, but what really grabbed everyone's attention was the eerie and dramatic arrival of
Saint Saturn
. Fans got their first look at his terrifying demonic form, which seems to be a massive spider-like creature. The way he crawls in the teaser? It's giving major Monsters, Inc. villain energy — remember that boss guy chasing them through the doors at the end? Yep, same nightmare fuel. One fan summed it up perfectly: 'Thank you for triggering my arachnophobia. Cannot wait for this.' Honestly, same.
Could episode 1128 surpass the legendary episode 1015
After a sudden six-month hiatus, One Piece returned with a bang. While a few recent episodes received mixed reactions due to pacing and other issues, Episode 1127 was a major step up. It gave us the much-anticipated battle between Luffy and Admiral Kizaru with stunning animation. However, there was one thing that didn't sit right with fans: the sound design.

In fact, this became a huge topic online after One Piece animator Sota Shigetsugu openly criticized
Toei Animation
's sound team. In a now-deleted social media post, Shigetsugu called their work 'unprofessional' and even said they should all be fired. His comments, especially coming after Episode 1127, sparked a massive debate. Many fans agreed, saying that while the animation was amazing, the sound effects felt outdated, loud, and awkwardly timed.
Some fans even created their own edited versions of scenes with improved sound — and surprisingly, those went viral. Viewers loved how much better the action felt with more modern and impactful audio. While the iconic music in One Piece still hits hard, many believe it's time the sound effects got a serious upgrade.
Now, with Episode 1128 just around the corner, all eyes are on Toei's sound team. If they can improve the audio to match the visuals, fans believe this could be the best episode ever — maybe even topping Episode 1015, which many still see as the peak of One Piece anime.
And with top-tier director
Nozomu Shishido
at the helm (he also directed the legendary Episode 1100 and the first Egghead episode), expectations couldn't be higher.

Once rejected by the army for being undersized and nearly condemned to pulling tangas after a failed eye operation, he was rescued just in time and went on to become a champion show jumper under Hooda's care. Named after Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaekwar due to his one functional eye, Ranji remained spirited and full of life till the very end. 'He came into my life outta sheer destiny and made my life so much richer,' wrote Hooda. 'He took me flying over many obstacles, sometimes with my eyes shut for fear of it, and won me many medals.' Ranji had battled Laminitis, a painful and often fatal condition in horses, but bounced back multiple times with the support of dedicated grooms and veterinary care. Hooda fondly recalled his companion's mischievous energy, even in his final moments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo 'He still needed two grooms to hold him for a walk… he even tried to jump out of the stable on his last night as if he wanted to fly away.
