The Elbaf arc began in chapter 1126 and is still going. A phase-by-phase guide to the land of the giants: Loki in chains, the God's Knights' attack, Harald's story, Imu arriving in person, and the fights still open after chapter 1196 — with chapter numbers, plus where the anime stands.
In Japan, part of the reaction to ONE PIECE 1196 wasn't about Sanji at all — it was about the Japanese on the page. Readers flagged three spots: 'nage-yari' written with the kanji for a throwing spear, a kana that looks misprinted, and a proverb used against its usual meaning. What is actually printed, what each could be, and why it matters less than it sounds.
Imu sits on the throne the World Government says nobody sits on. From the first silhouette at Mary Geoise to the fight on Elbaf: what each chapter shows about Imu, when the name was confirmed, what Omen and the Knights' covenant are, and what is still unexplained — with chapter numbers and sources.
Loki ate the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Nidhoggr — Elbaf's national treasure, a Mythical Zoan that turns him into a black, lightning-breathing dragon. He was allowed to eat it after Ragnir, the hammer with a squirrel's soul, accepted him. What the fruit does, what Ragnir does, and what the manga hasn't shown, through chapter 1196.
Japanese readers spent ONE PIECE's break week reading chapter 1196's last two lines — 'your head is too high' and the caption about 'oneself' — as a Conqueror's Haki setup for Sanji. We score that theory and the 'Ivankov's man is Dragon' reading against the page, and list what 1197 has to answer.
In ONE PIECE 1196, Killingham pulls the thing Sanji fears most out of his head — and it is Ivankov, not Germa. Sanji says why: Ivankov sees through his weakness. What the Kamabakka flashback says that weakness is, line by line, and what it does not settle about Conqueror's Haki.
Killingham ate the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin — a Mythical Zoan that puts people to sleep and turns their dreams into real monsters he calls MMA. In chapter 1196 he pulls out the thing Sanji fears most. What each technique does, what keeps him alive, and what the manga hasn't said.
ONE PIECE 1196 "A Death-Wish Love Has No Value" is Sanji's chapter. Killingham pulls Sanji's nightmare out of his head — and it is Ivankov. A Kamabakka flashback names the weakness from 1195, and Sanji gets up vowing to take no more hits. No Conqueror's Haki is shown. Next week is a break; 1197 is due 2 November.
THE ONE PIECE, WIT STUDIO's remake of the anime from chapter 1, starts streaming on Netflix in February 2027. The day isn't announced. Season 1 is seven episodes, released at once, running up to Luffy meeting Sanji at the Baratie. What is official, and what isn't.
ONE PIECE takes a break after chapter 1196. The note on the chapter's last page says the series returns in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 49, on sale 2 November 2026. What that means for the release time, and where 1196 left Sanji.
Not on the page. In ONE PIECE 1195, Killingham tells Sanji he doesn't have Conqueror's Haki, Gaban — in flashback — says the aptitude should be there but Sanji carries a self-destructive streak, and Ivankov's memory names a serious 'weakness'. Here is each line, who says it, and what it does not settle.
The God's Knights are Imu's personal order inside Mary Geoise. Six members carry the story through chapter 1195 — three are on Elbaf now, one is back in the Holy Land, one is a Five Elder and one is dead — and two more appear only in flashbacks. Each member's Devil Fruit, weapon and current status, how their immortality can be broken — and what the manga has not named.
There is no numbered Haki level system in ONE PIECE. The manga shows three types, and inside each one a basic use and a further use that only some fighters reach — future sight, hitting without touching, destroying from inside, coating attacks with Conqueror's Haki. 'Advanced Haki' is a fan and wiki label. Each step, with its chapter.
Power rankings built from confirmed feats, with the evidence behind every placement.
Most Haki rankings are character rankings wearing a different hat. This one ranks the Haki itself — four separate lists, a published demonstration behind every placement, and a visible confidence rating on each entry. Current through chapter 1194.
Garp has four named attacks. Galaxy Impact has the biggest radius, but the only one that ever finished a top-tier opponent is Infinitum Explosion — and Roger threw a technique into the same target at the same moment. Ranked with a chapter behind every line.
An evidence-based ranking of the five current Gorosei through ONE PIECE chapter 1191, with a chapter reference behind every placement. Nusjuro first on the only complete Haki set in the group — and Figarland Garling last, because a Five Elder seat is not a combat feat.
An evidence-based ranking of the God's Knights through ONE PIECE chapter 1193. Shamrock leads the active Knights, Harald has the strongest confirmed record of anyone who ever held the rank, and Garling is not first — here is why, with a confidence rating on every placement.

Every HUNTER×HUNTER story on ABYSS CURRENT: what each chapter confirms, how the Nen abilities are stated to work, and which Japanese-language theories the page supports.
As of HUNTER×HUNTER chapter 420, three Kakin princes are confirmed dead, ten are physically alive, and Halkenburg is a special case. Every prince's status, checked against the chapters — including the deaths that weren't.
The Black Whale reaching land is not the same milestone as the story reaching the Dark Continent — that's a decoy built into the plot itself. Here is the actual route, in confirmed checkpoints rather than a guessed chapter count.
Hisoka looks up, and nothing is drawn in the space he looks at. Tserriednich then panics that his Nen beast was noticed. Chapter 420 never says which — here is what the page actually shows, and the five readings Japanese and English fans are splitting over.
420 ends with Tserriednich weighing two visible moves and hiding a third. Zoom out to the Black Whale's own map and a pattern appears: the last two ten-chapter batches moved in opposite directions, toward the same wall.
Hisoka spends chapter 420 playing a machine called SWAMP BALL with an Asahi can in his hand. Japanese readers named the reference within the hour, and Kaiji's own publisher responded by unlocking the Bog arc — 87 chapters, free until 13 September.
No.420「遭遇」puts the ability against a Nen user for the first time. It gives Tserriednich a charge limit he estimates at 23:1, an activation speed he does not have, and a reason to run.
Every Pokémon story on ABYSS CURRENT: movie and anime news as it is announced in Japan, promo card detail, and what Japanese-language sources are actually saying.
Pokémon's first movie in seven years has no Ash, no Liko and no Roy. Read the official announcement closely and Pokémon: Wild Card looks less like the movie series restarting than like the card game getting a film of its own.
Pokémon: Wild Card is the first Pokémon movie centered on the TCG. No promo card has been announced yet, but past Pokémon movies give us strong clues about what could happen in 2027.
What Japanese-language fandom is arguing about this week — summarised and sourced.
Japanese readers spent ONE PIECE's break week reading chapter 1196's last two lines — 'your head is too high' and the caption about 'oneself' — as a Conqueror's Haki setup for Sanji. We score that theory and the 'Ivankov's man is Dragon' reading against the page, and list what 1197 has to answer.
Japanese readers paired 1194's 'Omen is its counterpart' with Mihawk's 'Conqueror's Haki is oneself' and read a contrast: a power handed down from Imu versus a power that comes from the self. We score that theory against the page, test Mihawk's definition, and track what 1194–1195 still leave open.
Chapter 1193 opens a hidden room behind the Owl's Library and a box holding a letter and a tool passed down for generations — and then does not show what they are. Here is exactly what the chapter establishes, and where the popular readings stop being evidence.
Chapter 1193 is being posted as the moment Zoro's left eye finally opened. We read the Japanese release and checked every panel that shows his face. The eye is drawn closed in all of them, and the chapter never raises the subject.
Snacks, limited editions and things that never leave the country.
Two chocolate snacks from the same company have divided Japan for decades. The manufacturer eventually settled it with a national election — twice, and then a third time.
Older stories we have gone back and changed — a new chapter, a revised ranking, a corrected fact.
The God's Knights are Imu's personal order inside Mary Geoise. Six members carry the story through chapter 1195 — three are on Elbaf now, one is back in the Holy Land, one is a Five Elder and one is dead — and two more appear only in flashbacks. Each member's Devil Fruit, weapon and current status, how their immortality can be broken — and what the manga has not named.
Yes — Zoro has Conqueror's Haki, and Gaban says so outright in chapter 1152. What he does not have yet is control: in chapter 1194 Sommers identifies one of his attacks as carrying it, and afterwards Zoro cannot reproduce it. Every chapter on the record, with what each one actually shows.
No. Nothing from Eiichiro Oda, Shueisha or the One Piece official site says the series ends in October 2026, and the manga carried on with chapters 1195 and 1196. The anime's 2026 run did end on 27 September — Toei says it returns in 2027. Where the claim comes from, with sources.
Not on the page. In ONE PIECE 1195, Killingham tells Sanji he doesn't have Conqueror's Haki, Gaban — in flashback — says the aptitude should be there but Sanji carries a self-destructive streak, and Ivankov's memory names a serious 'weakness'. Here is each line, who says it, and what it does not settle.
