Episode 1050

"Two Dragons Face Off! Momonosuke's Determination!" is the 1050th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary[]

Momonosuke faces Kaidou once again trembling in fear. However, with Luffy’s encouragement, he bravely steps up and shows his dragon fangs remembering what he had to go through because of Kaidou.

Long Summary[]

After sending Kaidou flying across the rooftop, Luffy thanks Yamato for holding back Kaidou and Yamato tells Luffy how relieved he is that Luffy has finally arrived. Kaidou then emerges in his dragon form, unscathed. He is in disbelief that Luffy survived his previous injuries. He notices the pink dragon before him and demands to know who he is. Although frightened at first, Momonosuke answers that he is Kouzuki Momonosuke, the one who will become the Shogun of Wano.

Meanwhile, the people in the Flower Capital are oblivious to the events on Onigashima. Toko and Hitetsu join the festivities, with Toko remembering her adoptive father, Yasuie. Hitetsu, on the other hand, is reminded of his ward, Tama, who joined the fight in Onigashima, and worries for her safety.

A Mary reports updates on the rooftop to Queen which the others in the Skull Dome also hear. Elsewhere, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi seem to be winning their fights against Jack and Perospero, respectively. However, clouds slowly obstruct the full moon, and the minks are transformed out of their Sulong form. Deprived of their Sulong form and drained of their energy, the minks are overwhelmed by their opponents.

On the rooftop, Kaidou is about to breathe fire on Momonosuke, so Luffy urges the pink dragon to do the same. However, Momonosuke doubts he can produce such an attack so Luffy instead, tells him to bite the emperor. Momonosuke is horrified by this suggestion. Kaidou blasts him with successive Bolo Breaths which Momonosuke barely manages to evade. Momonosuke remembers what he and his family went through in the hands of Kaidou so he musters up the courage to sink his teeth onto the blue dragon.

An angered Kaidou is about to blast another attack when Luffy punches him in the face, preventing Kaidou from breathing fire. Luffy shouts his praises for Momonosuke which is heard all throughout Onigashima. Luffy tells Momonosuke that he just bit an Emperor of the Sea so there should be nothing left in the world that can scare him. Momonosuke realizes what he just did and concurs.
