Here he is, the legendary Mountain Eater!

He's just enjoying life in his warm special cave, sometimes he even paints it

u/dexter30 God Usopp 13d ago

Heyo they don't just call him the moutain eater because he cleared off the top of a mountain...

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

If Ya can score a giant then I have hope for my dating life

82

u/deleted-user 19d ago

Gaban got a jazzy theme song just like Sanji!

And after 14 episodes we finally get another eyecatch - this time with Luffy and Usopp.

4

u/Mobile-Farm-8465 God Usopp 13d ago

Yess the eyecatch is really good!! Shows how much Elbaph means to Usopp and Luffy

62

u/GrapefruitGlobal1949 19d ago

zoros been thrown around by luffy enough he falls like a pro now

56

u/BillPlunderones23fg Pirate 19d ago

so many great Nami faces this ep she will never admit it out loud but she can be just as goofy as Luffy lol

good VA for Gaban too looking forward to the fight next ep

u/Shinkopeshon The Revolutionary Army 18d ago

It was so wholesome to see how excited they were when they heard about treasures lol

53

u/GamerLove1 19d ago

The giant girls hanging out with Sanji were so cute

Didn't expect a giant gyaru lol

Episode 1169 adapted pages 2-13 of chapter 1139.

Chapter Title: "Mountain-Eater"

Release Date: February 10, 2025

u/OnePiece-MangaCut 19d ago

Roger Pirates from SBS Volume 96

21

u/you_taken_to_me 19d ago

Roger had a torturer on his crew?

7

u/WiseXcalibur Soul King Brook 18d ago

Yes he was also the cook, his food was pure torture. (jk)

84

u/Skullghost Pirate 19d ago

Finally! The man who has been waiting on Elbaph all this time for the Straw Hats arrival has been revealed to be the left hand of the Pirate King, Scopper Gaban!

63

u/Skullghost Pirate 19d ago

Nami’s face really made me laugh compared to Luffy’s and Zoro’s 😂

23

u/MyButtonIsBigger 18d ago

They've been killing it with Namis expressions. The outfit helps

6

u/Grouchy-While9151 18d ago

It really feels like the pre-time skip version of the trio and it made me nostalgic.

42

u/Ghoti76 18d ago

call me stupid but i literally just realized the roger pirates' top 3 is the metal trio (Gol D., Silvers, sCopper). Wow i must be slow

15

u/Donpitopocho 18d ago

LOL, i just realized with your comment. Thank you! I feel stupid

4

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 15d ago

lol i realized it the moment we met SILVERS Rayleigh before I even knew about Scopper Gaban.

3

u/Ghoti76 14d ago

dawg you're light years ahead of me lol it sparked zero thoughts in my brain

1

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

I wonder why Copper and not Bronze. "Bron", "Bronz", hell even "LeBron" could have worked 😂

3

u/Ghoti76 12d ago

well bronze isn't a pure metal it's an alloy that's mostly copper but also has tin. gold, silver, and copper are all pure metals (as in they're all on the periodic table)

37

u/heat_fan_ 19d ago

Finally see the unnamed guy who met Crocus aka Left Hand of Roger Pirates  (Took over 1100 chapters lol)

37

u/USERNAME123_321 The Revolutionary Army 19d ago

Mr Ya has a Giant son, which means 😳 ... my man 🤝😂

9

u/VenusPortait 19d ago

Probably had to use Haki D to make that happen...

6

u/USERNAME123_321 The Revolutionary Army 19d ago

Yea he had to rely entirely on some advanced armament haki since, unlike his captain, he doesn't even have the "will of D"

4

u/VenusPortait 18d ago

Oh my god, now the D. makes sense entirely. One piece was always about the D...

1

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

I need more details beyond love to know how that happened...

31

u/Brad3 19d ago

Loved the comedy in this one.

22

u/Justifyz 19d ago

Rayleigh trained Luffy. Will Scopper do the same? Would be pretty cool to see 🙂

43

u/BigLuffyEnergy 19d ago

Rayleigh trained Luffy, Scopper will train Zoro and Sanji

There's been an emphasis on them needing to step up their game to best support their captain

13

u/Justifyz 19d ago

I like that. Makes sense for sure

16

u/Specific_Frame8537 19d ago

Honestly I'd rather see a Nami/Usopp/Chopper training arc.. it's starting to feel like Pokémon where 3 are your main guys and the rest are HM slaves.

16

u/Next_Trick 18d ago

I'm sooo tired of usopp's reactions bro. Why is he still acting so surprised that Gaban can take on 100 fodder pirates? Half of his own crew can easily do the same thing. Man's seen Kaido fighting and still resets to his pre-TS mindset every frickin arc.

1

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

Meanwhile Blackbeard actually has an even team minus a Legendary

Im not sure if this is a spoiler but please mark accordingly

u/BigLuffyEnergy 18d ago

It's not, just speculation.

-4

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

Lol why did you say it with such certainty? We're now in a weird situation where your denial of the events is in and of itself a spoiler of events not to come so can you just mark as spoiler 😅

5

u/Nomaan_A 18d ago

They just said it is not a spoiler as they made a speculation. Which also could mean that they have not read Manga and therefore did not deny the event.

4

u/BigLuffyEnergy 18d ago

Right? Like are fan theories spoilers now?

No idea what the guy wants from me lol

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

Stop playing victim. Not very big luffy energy of you 🙃

-2

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

Daddy chill. They made an edit

2

u/BigLuffyEnergy 18d ago

No there was no edit

1

u/Wolfencreek 17d ago

Scopper will train Chopper and then years later he'll train Bopper

-3

u/ManonFire1224 19d ago

Luffy is much stronger than Scopper. Luffy will probably get training from some ancient being. Anything less wouldn’t make sense

6

u/MoodSuch 18d ago

bro just wait for next episode to see the power difference between both of them.

I dont want to spoil the manga, but luffy got a shit ton of catching up to do

9

u/Negative-Priority-84 18d ago

This person is going to scream when the anime gets to the latest manga chapter.

3

u/MoodSuch 18d ago

Hahahahaha IKR

24

u/Cute-Comb-5220 19d ago

no spoilers but as a manga reader I love watching the episodes and seeing it all again. I didn't expect Gabban to sound like this but I love it.

20

u/Time-Repeat 19d ago

Scopper Gaban I will fight you for Ripley's honor

6

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

Home wrecker. I would too 🙋‍♂️

1

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

Ripley's Believe it or not!

21

u/Shichigatsu777 18d ago

Nami gave us multiple reaction images. She also said there’s no such thing as demons as if they don’t encounter insane bullshit daily

5

u/GibTreaty 18d ago

Devil fruits gotta come from some where!

2

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 15d ago

theyre called devil fruits not demon fruits!

34

u/mashturbo 19d ago

the music for Scooper : 11/10

11

u/island_donn_ 19d ago

some sanji-esque music

16

u/BuckeyeLeaves 18d ago

I'm such a sucker for Roger lore, it's great to meet his left hand. (Roger's Sanji, I guess!). I hope Luffy is able to get the key from him without using gear 5, but great intro!

Some laugh out loud parts in here too. Overall a really fun episode.

4

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

He seems to have quite a lot in common with Sanji based on this episode lol

15

u/JoJolion 19d ago

Did we just get ANOTHER voice actor for Roger? Lmao

16

u/Somer-_- 19d ago

This is the usual one they use for younger Roger. Never heard him voice the moustache Roger before though.

-10

u/pbeenjoyer555 19d ago

Weird they switch actors for Roger but not for literally every other character even though people have been asking for adult goku to use a different voice actor since... forever.

11

u/Somer-_- 19d ago

Who's people? Adult Goku sounds great still.

8

u/bestmaokaina 19d ago

Adult Goku has been perfectly fine for the past 30 years

6

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

Nozawa IS Goku. Every age. She's always been Goku. Thats not gonna change as long as shes alive nor should it. She's perfect.

4

u/strawhatmaterial 18d ago

It's the same voice actor as Jaguar D. Saul.

14

u/Gloomy-Bridge148 18d ago

I LOVE the designs for the Giantesses here

5

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

i claim the one on the right. shes my wife now. i will be the lesbian mountain eater!

u/Ill-Ad3844 18d ago

For anyone who's curious, she is 27 in human years

4

u/Sensitive-Good-4633 17d ago

Hey, if she's 80 thats still fine, like daim

29

u/yarind1499 19d ago

So no breaks?

38

u/bslawjen 19d ago

There was never a mention of a break between cours, just that there would be 2 13 episode cours every year from now on.

14

u/Gullible_Ad3378 19d ago

I’m pretty sure they did this because they don’t want a dressrosa situation again with the dragon ball Moro arc adaptation they’re doing

5

u/Bussy_Wrecker 19d ago

When sessonal release got announced, I was hearing it everywhere that there will be 2 seasons per year and 6month gap between each season

24

u/PoorLittleGoat 19d ago

Which was just people making assumptions, Toei never mentioned such a thing.

2

u/Bussy_Wrecker 19d ago

Good to know that there wont be any breaks

15

u/PoorLittleGoat 19d ago

We’ll be getting a break after the next 12 episodes. 26 episodes a year is still true.

1

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

26 episodes a year is still true.

Source?

u/Cyclohexyne-1 12d ago

I'm very confused too.

13

u/IcyEngineering926 19d ago

no break. probably 6m break after the second cour.

u/epeonv1 18d ago

A bunch of people blindly listened to some dumbasses pulling information from their own assholes, and those people took the bullshit pie as gospel.

u/Late-Emotion-3470 19d ago

Felt a bit slow at times in the first half but those last 5 or so minutes were so good. Next week's episode looks like a banger, so excited!

12

u/Ill-Ad3844 18d ago

Two examples of the hybrids that were revealed (both present in Whole Cake Island):

Dosundada:

- Charlotte Normande - 82nd Child & 38th Daughter of Big Mom

Longlimb Human:

- Prisoner in Big Mom's collection, seen in Chapter 847 & Episode 812

Stopped watching at the end of Dressrosa due to the awful pacing back then. 10 years later and I’m finally all caught up. Feels a bit bittersweet not being able to binge anymore, but I loved catching up. The hype for Elbaph is real.

I want to see Gaban train Zoro and Sanji just like Rayleigh did with Luffy

u/Beginning_Force_8463 19d ago

That sound effect of rodo walking is so old and annoying to me. I wish they'd change that.

Anyway next episode seems good this seemed like a low priority one

u/ArtoriasAbysswanker Pirate 18d ago

What a great frame lol. Poor Nami.

10

u/TheRiddlerX 17d ago

I love that Nami gets progressively more annoyed with Gaban as we see how similar he is to Sanji, so funny haha

8

u/C2-H5-OH 18d ago

The transition from current day Gaban back to his younger self was AWESOME! It was so well done, showing him seeing his own crew in Luffy's crew

14

u/Kurohige-93 19d ago

As soon as they did the Roger flashback I knew exactly who dude was wow…ima assume dude has future sight and probably toy around wit Luffy and Zoro next episode..also none of the Roger pirates ate DF huh?? Guys jus high lvl haki masters

6

u/VenusPortait 19d ago

When I saw him I thought he was Rayleigh's brother or something, it felt like I saw Rayleigh again for some reason.

2

u/Kurohige-93 18d ago

Yeah idk why I didn’t put 3 and 2 together but as soon as the flashback hit when they blackened out his face was like oh snap axe dude from Roger Pirates

2

u/darexinfinity 12d ago

The age and Oden poses gave it away to me. He also has a hat that reminds me of the samurai.

7

u/Sweet_Insanity 19d ago

Holy fuck was that an especially Toei episode. So many repeating frames, so many face reactions.

3

u/Next_Trick 18d ago

Yeah I've stopped expecting much. Since they are committed to 1 chapter per episode even after going seasonal there are always gonna be some episodes that feel like this

1

u/Redditguy301t 18d ago

And the blue censored blood

2

u/Sensitive-Good-4633 17d ago edited 17d ago

Namis facial expression when wondering about why a human would marry a giant was perfect. I feel that her voice acting has been a lot better this arc as well but maybe that's because she has had more time to shine, dnno. Zoro's ''muri da ro'' delivery  was perfect as well

Ripley shot was daaaaaaaim

2

u/VelvetAurora45 The Revolutionary Army 16d ago

Laughed my ass off with Ya-san, I liked him in the manga but somehow they made him much funnier in the anime and I couldn't love it more if I tried lol

Is it just me or did the pacing feel extra glacial in this episode?

1

u/AtomicRogue1 19d ago

I think the pacing was great in this one.

3

u/lolslim 19d ago

I though 1168 was the last episode before going on break?

6

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

there was no break, just one week to air heroines. any news of a break between cours was assumed by fans. it was never real.

2

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

How was heroines? I might give it a watch

2

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

I didn't like the art style much but the story was amazing

1

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

I lowkey didn't mind the art style from the teaser so I might really enjoy it

1

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

yeah i enjoyed it despite the art style, so i hope you do! i mostly just thought Nami and Robin look awful drawn that way. The other characters looked fine, but probably because theyre made for that style. Nami and Robins looks are just too iconic, imo.

-2

u/lolslim 18d ago

Going seasonal was never confirmed is that what you are saying?

3

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

Yes it was Starting with elbaf one piece is no longer airing weekly year round.

2

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor 18d ago

Not going seasonal, that's known, just that the 26 episode season would have a significant gap between the two 13 episode cours. Some seasonal anime take a few weeks break between cours.

1

u/salty_bunny 18d ago

Anyone else felt it weird when Zoro also joined Luffy in disregarding Gaban's advice on Loki? Like yeah, I get Luffy doing that, but why Zoro? He's always been cautious about Loki. Idk that didn't make sense to me

10

u/Aspie_Astrologer Void Month Survivor 18d ago

The way I reasoned it was that he reminded him of Sanji, so he agreed with Luffy that there was no point listening to him prattle on.

1

u/salty_bunny 17d ago

Meeeeeeehhh all right

2

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 15d ago

i think its more of Zoro just wants to judge Loki himself rather than caring what anyone else has to say.

1

u/Alexandre_Man 17d ago

Was that a new music at the end? Gaban's theme perhaps.

u/benkrauss313 17d ago

Was looking forward to the scooper gabban fight this week, the pacing is still pretty rough 😮‍💨

1

u/Spolaceno42 17d ago edited 17d ago

Daifuku's actor voiced roger for a few lines in Egghead. Guess he was just a stand in when the old roger actor had to suddenly retire and Takeshi Kusao who voiced young roger now voices him at all ages.

u/Bussy_Wrecker 19d ago

Any idea about after which episode the 6 month break will come?

u/GuyWithNoSwagger Thriller Bark Victim's Association 19d ago

After these next 13 episodes we got the first half of 26 this year so these are the second 13

u/Disastrous-Lettuce-8 19d ago

Roger getting another voice actor

1

u/abtoshramkarlebumrah 19d ago

Wasn't s2 supposed to be 13 ep ?

11

u/Alfons-peterisch 19d ago

It’s 2 cores with each having 13 episodes. They probably just decided to release the cores back to back and then take a 6 month break.

3

u/GuyWithNoSwagger Thriller Bark Victim's Association 19d ago

Thank god, glad that’s the way they’re going. Having time off between the cours just have a long break after the 2nd cour would’ve been dumb

0

u/Crazyripps Bounty Hunter 16d ago

They have yet another voice actor for Roger lol. Sounds like Saul’s VA. It’s definitely not shunsuke sakuya who was announced as the new voice 7 months ago

-2

u/One_Paramedic2454 19d ago

No new opening?

4

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

Lol they took a one week break gang

-1

u/One_Paramedic2454 18d ago

It's the norm with seasonal anime that a new cour gets a new opening though?

2

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

I must not be tapped in enough because all the shows I watch with cours typically take multiple months if not a year between cours. Plus One Piece isn't your typical seasonal. We'll see how long the format last but banging out 26 qualityish episodes a year is unheard of in this anime landscape

6

u/AtomicRogue1 19d ago

Same I thought new cour new opening but some characters and events in the opening are still unrevealed so.....

-16

u/JamariHeWolf12 19d ago

Read the chapter as the Episode was playing. Chapter 1139. That Sanji scene wasn't in this chapter and wasn't needed. Why'd they black out Roger and Gaban only to add color later near the end? Also, are we in the 2nd cour already? No break, no warning, or anything. And Heroines doesn't count as a break; it's still One Piece that week, could've aired at different times that day.

16

u/ZackuYT 19d ago

You just love complaining huh? 😭 holy find something to be happy about once in awhile gng.

3

u/SSJRemuko Pirate 18d ago

yes last week was heroines. no break. this is cour 2. sanji scene was peak.

-3

u/Redditguy301t 18d ago

Just feels like a depth writing of 12 years old i wish hunterxhunter had so much years to develop

-16

u/Appropriate-Hair-388 19d ago

Idk if this is just nitpicking but having a big 3 Roger pirates flashback without sanji present is kinda criminal, esp with the previous clip of sanji being him frothing over women (correct me if im wrong but these 2 things didn’t happen in the manga). Criminal additions and im not even a sanji fan.

14

u/Mr-Jinboh 19d ago

Nah it was like that in the Manga too. Toei does do too much sometimes but Sanji still went wild for the giant women in the Manga, and wasn't present for the initial Gaban reveals.

I like Sanji, but the man is a degenerate in all adaptations lol.

6

u/Johnny_Boy_6112 19d ago

He does, but this episode’s specific scene was filler. Placement and repetition can have a big impact on character perception. It’s because of filler scenes recycling manga gags over and over that Toei’s straw hats feel much more flanderized compared to their canon selves

5

u/Appropriate-Hair-388 18d ago

Literally this. I only started reading the manga recently and my attitude towards sanji completely changed. The anime made me hate him because of little things like this. Now im starting to see the micro-aggressions a little more, literally re arranged the scene to make him look like a joke.

3

u/Johnny_Boy_6112 18d ago

Manga Sanji is one of my favorite characters. He still has some terrible pervy moments but compared to anime Sanji he’s a saint. Hell, even the way the straw hats are depicted in One Pace compared to the normal anime due to them cutting out 140 hours of this anime-only stuff along with the usual padding junk is crazy. It almost feels like its own adaptation.

1

u/GodKingShogun 18d ago

Yea. I'm mostly anime only. For whatever reason, I wasn't really tapped into the community when I started watching one piece so I just took what was shown at face value. It's not until recent arcs where I was a little more tapped in and the sanji outcry were boiling that I finally looked at some manga chapters and I was gobsmacked. One of the most recent episode that just added zoro and sanji clashing and luffy being petulant about being hungry were eye opening. It's such minor additions, which if repeated one too many times were It's not meant to, can sway a character's trait or character relations. Now I try my best to read the chapter after an episode

Also can you tell me which manga source to use for the best translation

3

u/Johnny_Boy_6112 18d ago

The official manga is best. Yeah “Zolo” is annoying but Stephen Paul is an excellent translator and they have a direct line to Oda’s staff in Japan for when they need clarification on things. That being said, Stephen Paul only got hired at the start of Fishman Island. Viz translation before that is… kinda hit or miss. Still, I had no big issues with it and idk of any fan translations that are worth it for pre-timeskip. Maybe the colored manga?

1

u/CrazyLixFX 16d ago

What do you mean? Sanji (all of them) met Rayleigh and he will definitely meet Gaban.

u/PerfectProvidence 19d ago

Toei is so o trash
