One Piece Chapter 1118 was being heavily promoted but the trailer resembled an older chapter and left fans confused.
The manga has finally released consecutive chapters after a period of absence. One Piece will release Chapters 1117, 1118 and 1119 without any interruptions in between. This is something that rarely happens in the Final Saga due to Oda's busy schedule and health.
One Piece Chapter 1118 was overhyped by fans as the previous chapter ended with a major cliffhanger. The Gorosei finally find out the location of the transponder snail, and Warcury cuts the broadcast at the worst possible time.
But some previews of upcoming chapters sound identical, and fans have noticed. One Piece Chapter 1112 preview reads: “The five elders are on a rampage! Can the Straw Hats escape their clutches?”
Meanwhile, the preview of One Piece Chapter 1118 which reads: “The five elders are approaching! Can the Straw Hats escape?”
Although the words may be slightly different, the meaning remains the same. These previews come from One Piece editors and leakers sharing them with the help of translators. However, because it is a long manga, the previews usually end the same as before.
One fan shared, “The editor's note to Onigashima is 'The play is about to climax' every week. Brazen.”
“These previews never meant anything, just broad, vague views of what was going on,” another shared.
Another fan wrote, “You should know by now that previews are pointless.”
The elders are stronger than anyone the crew has ever faced. Even now, they have not suffered any damage and are still determined to stop the Straw Hats. Even with the help of the giants, defeating the elders seemed almost impossible.
