The One Piece episode 1018 release date and time have been revealed for the Japanese language version with English subtitles on Crunchyroll. Thankfully, given the global popularity of One Piece, the episode will be simulcast so that fans around the world can continue to watch the escalating fight between the Straw Hat Pirates and Kaido at the same time.
So far, we’ve seen Kaido deflect most of the heroes’ attacks through sheer grit and his incredibly thick skin. Luffy’s Bounce-Man form was able to inflict some impressive damage with a few strikes, particularly with Gum-Gum Kong Rifle, but the battle is just starting as both sides are only just warming up their attacks. After Zoro unfortunately missed his one-sword technique and was damaged by Linlin’s electric storm, Luffy surprised both Kaido and Big Mom with his resistance to lightning and fire, countering back with Gum-Gum Kong Gatling. But will this do any real damage to Kaido?

What is the One Piece episode 1018 English dub release date?
Sadly, since the merger between Funimation and Crunchyroll, the English language version of One Piece is still nowhere to be seen. The full catalog of Funimation, which had the English dubbing of the anime, is slated to be transferred over to Crunchyroll eventually, but even with some fans expressing frustration over this on the site’s official forums, there’s still no word on when we’ll see it imported.
