In a heart-wrenching sequence, One Piece delved into Bartholomew Kuma’s emotional backstory, but the latest news for its upcoming episode leaves fans feeling let down. The highly anticipated return of One Piece: Egghead Arc Part 2 graced our screens this Spring, following a six-month break – the longest pause in the anime series to date. It was as if time had slowed when the new episodes resumed amidst turmoil on Dr. Vegapunk’s future island laboratory. However, instead of continuing with the chaos, the storyline decided to delve into unexplored aspects of the past.
In the latest episodes of “One Piece”, we’ve been delving into Kuma’s past, particularly his relationship with his daughter Bonney, and the progression of these events has brought us closer to the present as Kuma embarks on a global journey to cure Bonney’s fatal illness. However, the recent episode marks a pause, offering a sneak peek at what’s ahead for next week. Interestingly, it appears that the upcoming episode will serve as a recap (as hinted by the schedule released earlier this month), ensuring fans are well-prepared before the flashback resumes in a couple of weeks.
One Piece Has Another Recap Episode Coming
On June 22nd in Japan, there’s news that another special recap episode of “One Piece” will air, titled “Dr. Chopper’s Adventure Checkup -Good Friends at a Crossroad-“. This recap promises to revisit some of the recent story arcs, providing insights into Luffy and the crew’s progress in the anime over the past year. However, this recap episode means that we’ll have to wait even longer for “One Piece” Episode 1134, and it will take more time before we reach the end of this flashback sequence altogether.
These recap episodes aren’t awful per se, but they do prolong the wait for viewers to see what happens next. The creators work tirelessly to bring the series to life, and their hard work is evident in some truly amazing scenes. However, all that effort requires time, which means we need these recaps to buy more of it. After a six-month hiatus, fans aren’t as enthusiastic about the number of recaps they’ve received in this new phase of the series.

What’s Next for Kuma and Bonney?
When the anime adaptation of “One Piece” resumes with new episodes, Kuma and Bonney’s backstory will be approaching a pivotal point. The narrative is nearing the present day, as Kuma has been scouring the globe in search of a cure for Bonney’s Sapphire Scales. Following her mother’s tragic death from a disease lethal to those exposed to sunlight, Bonney was given just ten years to live. In his quest for a remedy, Kuma has sought help from Dr. Vegapunk.
It came to light that the scientist truly possessed the remedy for Bonney’s illness through advanced medical tech not yet available globally. However, implementing this solution would be costly. In compensation, Vegapunk plans to utilize Kuma as the foundation for a new Marine clone army. This development is bringing us closer to understanding how Kuma transformed into a Pacifista weapon and how he eventually parted ways with Bonney. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to witness these events unfold.
