One of the biggest turning points of Egghead Arc is Dr. Vegapunk revealing the secrets of the Void Century and the hidden truths of the One Piece world. What makes it even more iconic is how his broadcast reaches every corner of the world:
- Foosha Village – where Luffy, Ace, and Sabo once lived
- Orange Town, Syrup Village, Baratie Restaurant – iconic East Blue locations from the early days
- Shimotsuki Village – Zoro’s hometown
- Kokoyashi Village – Nami’s village
- Twin Capes – with Crocus and Laboon watching
- Drum Island – Dr. Kureha and Dalton witnessing history
- Water Seven, Wano, Fishman Island, Dressrosa – beloved allies like Rebecca, Kyros, Leo all tuning in
- Even Vivi, Morgans, and the Celestial Dragons can’t escape the message.
This worldwide broadcast is one of the most ambitious and emotional storytelling moments Oda has ever delivered. Fans everywhere are waiting to see how it plays out in the anime.
Bonney Witnessing Sun God Nika ( Luffy Gear 5 )

Another powerful scene is Bonney seeing Sun God Nika in action during the fight on Egghead. For her, it’s not just about Luffy’s transformation — it’s about witnessing the hero her father Kuma always believed in.
The detail of Kuma’s reflection behind Gear 5 Luffy makes it even more emotional. This is truly peak One Piece, and tomorrow’s episode is expected to break records worldwide.
The return of Gear 5 Luffy has once again proved why he’s one of the most unpredictable and fun protagonists in shonen history. His cartoonish yet godlike abilities are making the fights in Egghead stand out on a whole new level. Every moment with Gear 5 feels like Oda’s pure creativity unleashed, and fans can’t get enough of it.
Roger, Whitebeard & Oden – Spiritually Linked to Luffy, Ace & Sabo

One of the most emotional cuts of the opening was the spiritual parallel between the old legends and the new generation.
We see Roger, Whitebeard, and Oden standing tall in one frame, and in the very next transition, their spirits are mirrored by Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. It’s not just a visual callback — it’s a statement.
The Will of D is eternal. The fire that burned in the legends is carried by the new era. This one scene is hands-down one of the most heartwarming and tear-jerking moments of the opening. Fans everywhere agree this parallel deserves to be remembered forever.
One Piece Egghead Arc: The Arrival of All Five Gorosei

As if Saturn alone wasn’t terrifying enough, we now see the summoning of all five Gorosei to Egghead. Their arrival via teleportation is one of the most jaw-dropping moments in the series.
- Luffy vs. All Five Elders – an impossible fight that fans can’t wait to witness.
- Zoro vs. Nusjuro – one of the most hyped battles coming up. Nusjuro, a swordsman among the Gorosei, is said to be the strongest of them. Watching Zoro clash with him will be legendary.
- Meanwhile, Zoro vs. Lucci continues. Despite fighting for so long, Zoro holds his ground — even hinting at his Conqueror’s Haki. This proves just how strong he’s become.
The way the animators handle these legendary clashes will decide how high this arc stands in One Piece history — and judging by the preview, fans are in for something unforgettable.
The Return of Joy Boy & Emeth

The most jaw-dropping moment was undoubtedly the reveal of Joy Boy and Emeth. The scene begins with the drums of liberation echoing, slowly awakening Emeth after centuries. Then, in a surreal frame, we see Joy Boy himself communicating with Emeth, almost as if passing the will of freedom.
And then comes the detail that made fans go crazy — Joy Boy’s hat flying away in the wind, revealing the terrifying horns of Emeth. This single shot blends mystery, lore, and raw power. The absolute cinema moment? Luffy catching the flying hat in the end, symbolizing that the will of Joy Boy still lives on.
If you’ve read the manga, you already know how legendary Joy Boy’s haki was. This short clip captures that terrifying aura — the kind of presence that shakes even the strongest.
Nusjuro’s Unleashed His Demonic Power & Dorry, Brogy and All Major Character Gets Their Moment

Another scene that absolutely stole the spotlight was the reveal of Nusjuro’s fighting style alongside Dorry and Brogy. The opening perfectly balanced nostalgia with hype here. We all love the Elbaf giants, but combining them with one of the Five Elders in combat? That’s a matchup nobody expected to look this good in an OP.
The choreography, the animation, the pure weight of their clashes — it already feels like a movie sequence. Fans are calling this the “Elbaf opening highlight” and for good reason.
What makes this opening truly legendary is how it managed to cover almost every major character without feeling rushed. In just under two minutes, we got shots of:
- Shanks – with his mysterious aura and that smile only he can pull off.
- Blackbeard – menacing as ever, hinting at the chaos he’s about to unleash.
- Buggy – the clown emperor, reminding us that comedy and chaos coexist in One Piece.
- Dragon – finally getting the screen presence he deserves.
- Koby – the underdog Marine who represents justice’s rising star.
- Ace – a heartbreaking reminder of sacrifice.
- Garling Figarland – a chilling new addition whose presence shakes the balance.
- The Pirate King’s moments – tying the past and present together.
The beauty is how each character wasn’t just shown for “fanservice” — their scenes actually added to the thematic depth of the opening.
Why the Egghead Arc Is Special – Unlike previous arcs, Egghead combines intense battles, deep mysteries, and massive world-building all in one. It’s not just about action – it’s about unveiling truths that have been hidden for decades. With the Straw Hats caught in the middle, every chapter feels like a step closer to the grand finale of One Piece.
