Hidden details in the new One Piece credits

The user Reddit Wild_Ad_3071 has made it his mission to discover the secrets hidden in the new theme song “Assu” . His investigation seems to have been successful, with the appearance of hidden symbols during a fleeting moment.

The “Assu” credits itself actually contains quite a few glimpses of Egghead Island, including the real Dr. Vegapunk, Rob Lucci appearing for his revenge, and Crocodile, Mihawk, and Buggy the Clown shown trying to scheme. Although spoilers in intros are common for anime, One Piece is not usually a regular feature.

Up-to-date readers of the One Piece manga will recognize the symbols as Nika, the sun god, but also reminiscent of the silhouette of one of the Five Elders, Saturn. In reality, these symbols mainly serve to reveal what awaits viewers in the Egghead Island arc. And those who have not read the manga will not necessarily know what to relate this information to: more than spoilers, we can therefore consider them as teasers.

The Egghead arc started on January 7, 2024 on Crunchyroll, in episode 1089, and the entry into the final saga marksthe return of an excellent host.
