Later, Sabure tells Boruto and Kakashi how Ohagi and Taruto began fighting. Taruto used to be the only New City resident who would help with Old Town’s fireworks show. Eventually, New City wanted to have its own display, and they put Taruto in charge. Ohagi viewed Taruto as a traitor. Even so, Taruto wanted to apologize. Shortly after, Boruto and Kakashi call a meeting. During the meeting, Ohagi and Taruto argued even more. Eventually, Boruto asks Yubeshi and Sabure to bring out the food Ohagi and Taruto worked on together before.

The festival begins, and both sides start their fireworks show. Old Town and New City people insult the other’s fireworks during the event. In the middle of it, Ohagi and Taruto ask to stop the show. It turns out Kakashi switched the fireworks. Everyone realizes all the presentations are beautiful either way. However, Ohagi and Taruto continue to argue. Yubeshi and Sabure get fed up and convince their grandfathers to make up. Ohagi and Taruto shake hands, and Yubeshi and Sabure finally get married.

One Piece Episode 1028 Release Date & Time on Crunchyroll

The One Piece Episode 1028 release date is upon us.

The latest installment saw the Worst Generation continue battling the Emperors. Zoro had to unleash Enma’s devastating power and use the Nine Sword Style to save Luffy from Emperor Kaidou’s assault. While the swordsman left a permanent scar on the Emperor in his half-dragon form, the effort was too much to handle for Zoro. His sacrifice wasn’t in vain, as it allowed Luffy to recover his energy and join the battle.

When to Watch One Piece Episode 1028

One Piece Episode 1028 will hit Crunchyroll at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Saturday, Aug. 7.

Luffy Strikes Back with an Iron Fist!” Judging from the promo, One Piece Episode 1028 will see the showdown between Luffy and Kaidou. Haoshoku Haki will play a pivotal role in the final battle as it had in Episode 1027. Interestingly, Kaidou hinted that also Zoro might have Haoshoku Haki after the swordsman scarred the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates. When he heard that, Zoro looked very surprised and disagreed with Kaidou.

Ayanokoji and Horikita discuss how Kushida could be the traitor. Ayanokoji says Kushida might be getting private points from other classes. While watching the others, Horikita confronts Kushida about the previous special exam. She asks Kushida if she revealed her VIP information to Ryuen. Kushida denies it, and the two agree to trust each other moving forward. The Sports Festival starts, and Sudo is doing his best to motivate everyone. Class D is initially doing well. However, Koenji refuses to participate, making Sudo angry. Ayanokoji overhears Koenji saying Horikita asked him to participate, but Koenji says he isn’t in the mood.

During the pole toppling event, many of the opponents target Sudo. Due to Ryuen’s dirty tricks, the Red Team (Class A and D) lose the game. Meanwhile, Horikita injures her ankle after accidentally bumping into Kinoshita from Class C. Ayanokoji checks on Horikita. Horikita tells him Kinoshita probably bumped into her on purpose. She reflects on her failures, especially after the incident with Koenji. In the other events, Class C continued to target Sudo and Horikita.

Karuizawa asks Ayanokoji about the situation. Ayanokoji explains the targeting, and how the traitor leaked the class participant list. Karuizawa asks if there’s still a chance for them to win. Ayanokoji says it was never their intention to win. Meanwhile, Sudo loses his temper in front of the class and storms off. Ayanokoji goes to Horikita. She already knows Ayanokoji will ask her to bring Sudo back. She doubts she can do it, but Ayanokoji reminds her she can’t be useless. He tells her Sudo will be a valuable weapon for her.

Karuizawa asks Ayanokoji who the traitor is, but Ayanokoji doesn’t say who. He tells them he’s just following Horikita’s instructions. Meanwhile, Horikita and Kushida head for the clinic. Kushida tells her Kinoshita is badly injured. Upon arrival, Horikita falls into Ryuen’s trap. He states Horikita injured Kinoshita on purpose and threatens to inform the school. In exchange for his silence, he demanded one million private points. Before he leaves, Ryuen says he’ll be waiting until the end of the festival.
