Despite the significant revelation in One Piece chapter 1113 through Vegapunk’s message about the world sinking, it was discovered that the twist had been accidentally spoiled for Japanese audiences months prior. This occurred in chapter 1085 of the manga when author Eiichiro Oda made a mistake in a line of narration, inadvertently confirming Vegapunk’s eventual revelation in chapter 1113.
Despite the recent discovery by most Western One Piece fans, it is undeniable that the small error had a significant impact on the Egghead arc’s major twist. With all that has transpired in this arc, it is highly likely that this revelation will be the most crucial one for readers.
This article includes spoilers for the series, so please be aware while reading.
Explaining the mistake in the One Piece manga: Spoiling Vegapunk’s Message by Eiichiro Oda
During the earlier versions of chapter 1085 of the manga, a mistake occurred and was later corrected in subsequent editions to prevent revealing Vegapunk’s revelation in chapter 1113. The initial version of the chapter was originally written in Japanese, with the phrase “Raising the flag of dawn in a sinking world,” which can be translated to “Raising the flag of dawn in a sinking world.”
It is quite evident that Vegapunk’s statements in chapter 1113 about the world sinking were referenced in chapter 1085, but later editions were altered by Oda to avoid revealing too much at the time. Despite this, many Japanese YouTubers were quick to notice and create videos discussing the matter, which is why the recent revelation in the manga did not come as a surprise to readers in Japan.
Many people have been left to speculate about the details of the world sinking after Vegapunk’s confirmation. Some have suggested that Imu, believed to be a Sea Devil, plans to dominate the world by causing it to sink. Other fans have theorized that Imu may have been responsible for the sinking of the Ancient Kingdom centuries ago.
Possible Developments in Future Chapters
The upcoming chapters in the Egghead arc are expected to be the last, as the Straw Hats make their escape and move on to the next part of their journey. Given the current circumstances, it seems that the main characters are not strong enough to defeat the Elders of the Gorosei and will have to flee Egghead in order to stay alive.
Currently, the fate of Luffy is a major concern as he faces off against multiple members of the Gorosei and is unable to access his Gear 5 transformation due to exhaustion. With only the Giants by his side, it is highly probable that he will need to make a hasty retreat in the upcoming chapters.
Final thoughts
Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece chapter 1085, revealed significant plot details about Vegapunk’s discovery of the world sinking. Due to this, he has made the decision to make edits in future editions. This serves as a reminder that even experienced mangaka can make errors.
