One Piece 1089: Everything You Need To Know

Get ready, One Piece fans! Chapter 1089 is just around the corner, scheduled for release on Monday, August 7, 2023, at 12 am JST. We've recently witnessed the intense battle between Garp and SWORD at Hachinosu, all in a daring attempt to rescue Koby. The chapter left us with a somber moment, as a sacrifice was made during the conflict. But fear not, the story continues! As much as we'd love to provide juicy spoilers for the upcoming chapter, unfortunately, no verifiable information is available at this time. Sure, there are some alleged spoilers floating around out there, but without confirmation from the reliable leaker community, we can't take them as gospel truth.

Nonetheless, the good news is that we have the official release information at hand. One Piece Chapter 1089 is set to be released at 12 am JST on Monday, August 7, 2023. For many international fans, this means it'll be available on a Sunday morning in their local time, but for Japanese viewers, it'll come out on Monday night. Keep in mind that the exact release time might vary depending on your region and time zone. To read the chapter, you have several options. Viz Media's official website and Shueisha's MANGAPlus website are both free platforms where you can catch the first and latest three issues of the series. On the other hand, Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ app is a paid, subscription-based service that grants you access to the entire series.

So, while we eagerly await the release of Chapter 1089, let's keep our excitement in check and enjoy the journey back to Egghead Island, as teased in the previous issue. Who knows what surprises and adventures await the Straw Hat crew and their allies! Stay tuned for the official release, and let's speculate together on what epic moments Oda has in store for us this time.

Previous Chapter

Koby unleashes a new attack called the "Honesty Impact" to take down Pizzaro's hand, which was a threat to Garp's ship. Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, Kuzan conjures an Ice Blade and strikes Garp, who remains surprisingly composed and starts laughing. The ice gradually begins to break, much like how Saul did on Ohara. Despite the perilous situation, Garp displays his unwavering courage and determination. He encourages Koby and the other Marines present to retreat, acknowledging them as the future of the Marines. As the events unfold, the narrator informs us that Garp's fate remains uncertain, as he vanishes from Hachinosu Island.

On another note, Luffy stakes his claim on Egghead Island, declaring it as his stronghold. However, the Marines have also arrived on the scene, adding to the tension and setting the stage for what could be an impending confrontation. This action-packed sequence leaves us on the edge of our seats, wondering what will unfold for Garp and the fate of Egghead Island.

Shinichiro Watanabe, MAPPA's Lazarus Anime Trailer

During the "Toonami on the Green" event at Comic-Con International, Adult Swim Festival premiered the trailer for "Lazarus" (known as "Lazaro" in Japanese), an original anime series set to air on Toonami. The project is a collaboration between the esteemed director Shinichiro Watanabe, known for his work on iconic anime like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Space Dandy, and the renowned animation studio MAPPA, responsible for hits like Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan The Final Season. At the event, Shinichiro Watanabe made a special appearance and offered a sneak peek of the character designs and imageboard art for the upcoming anime. The production team is aiming to complete the project by 2024, but no specific release window was confirmed.

Jason DeMarco, Senior Vice President and head of anime and action series at Adult Swim, confirmed that Watanabe will be directing every episode of "Lazarus." Adding to the project's appeal, action sequences will be designed by Chad Stahelski, the renowned stuntman and director known for his work on the John Wick film series. The anime's soundtrack will be crafted by jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington, with contributions from producers, DJs, and musicians Floating Points and Bonobo. The anime is being produced by Sola Entertainment. 

 

 

The storyline is set in the year 2052, a time of peace and prosperity worldwide, thanks to a miraculous cure-all drug called Hapuna, developed by Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner. However, just as the drug gains widespread use, Dr. Skinner disappears. Three years later, he resurfaces with a dire announcement - Hapuna has a short half-life, and those who have taken it will die within three years. In response to this impending crisis, a special task force called "Lazarus" is assembled, comprising five agents from different corners of the world. Their mission is to find Dr. Skinner and develop a vaccine to save humanity from his apocalyptic plan. Shinichiro Watanabe's impressive portfolio includes directing and contributing to several acclaimed anime productions such as Cowboy Bebop, Macross Plus, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, Carole & Tuesday, and Terror in Resonance. Additionally, he directed the "Blade Runner: Black Out 2022" anime short, and his film "A Girl Meets a Boy and a Robot" screened at the 26th Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, in July 2022. With such a talented team and an intriguing storyline, "Lazarus" promises to be a highly anticipated addition to the world of anime.
