One Piece Heats Up! Shanks vs. Kid – A Clash of Legends with a Shocking Twist?

The release date of the much anticipated duel between Shanks and Kid in the One Piece anime has finally been revealed.

We are currently in the middle of the Egghead Arc in the One Piece anime. The anime series has reached Episode 1110, following the Straw Hat Pirates as they arrive on the future island in the manga.

After all of this, fans couldn’t wait to see Shanks and Kid square off. They had a difficult past because Kid once challenged the Yonko before the Wano Country Arc, losing horribly before he even saw the infamous pirate.

Kid also lost an arm as a result of this encounter. Now since he’s determined to beat the Yonko, he follows him to Elbaf. This suggests a spectacular conflict between the Kid Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

One of the highlights of the Egghead Arc in the manga is the fight between Shanks and Kid, and it is anticipated that the anime will do the same.

This eagerly awaited showdown was originally scheduled to appear in Episode 1107. But the authors chose to put off this clash because of its significance and size.

It appears like the studio took extra time to develop the animation for the battle sequence because it needs to be exceptionally well-done to meet the expectations of the audience.

The fight between Shanks and Kid has finally been scheduled for a month, and it is now ready to be seen on TV. The fight will reportedly be included in Episode 1112, which will be released on Sunday, July 14, 2024, according to a well-known leaker on X/Twitter.

This is a really intriguing proposition since, in addition to making his long-overdue return, we will get to witness a glimpse of Shanks’ terrifying might during the fight. It’s worth waiting for, but we won’t give anything away.
