One Piece awaits the release of Chapter 1197 on November 1, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 49. This chapter is set to focus on the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji, and is set to change him forever.
One Piece Chapter 1196, which was released on October 18, 2026, finally forced Sanji to see his biggest weakness and overcome it for the first time. Sanji has finally overcome his suicidal nature, which was nerfing his physical capabilities tremendously and, above all, suppressing his Conqueror's Haki. Now, with his biggest limiters having officially been removed, Sanji is being changed forever, not just in terms of strength but also in terms of personality. A narcissistic persona of Sanji is set to be officially born here, as observed towards the end of Chapter 1196, and the upcoming chapter is set to continue this on November 1.
One Piece chapter 1196 was incredible for the character arc of Sanji. This chapter finally exposed to us his biggest weakness, which was his suicidal nature. Ever since the beginning of the series, Sanji has put himself in harm's way on many occasions for the sake of those he loves. This stems from his lack of self-worth and the fact that he believes himself to be the sacrificial lamb, and less important than others.
"Before you go, I have one thing to ask of you, Sanji! Don't mention to anyone that I'm your father. The fact that you're my son is a dark stain on my success.
