The 23rd recap special of the One Piece anime sees hosts Carrot and Chopper survey the many giants the series has introduced, all while trying to puzzle out the identity of a mysterious towering shadow.
Summary
Serving as the 23rd review special of the One Piece anime, this episode keeps Carrot and Chopper in the host chairs and builds its recap around a single theme: the giants who have appeared across the saga. The pair use a guessing game as their hook.
A large silhouette looms over the proceedings, and the two narrators try to work out who it belongs to. That mystery drives them through a tour of the various giant characters seen in earlier stories.
Key Events
Carrot and Chopper run through an extended look at the giants of the world, from the Elbaf warriors to figures encountered in later arcs, weaving the recap around their attempt to name the shadowy giant before them. The mystery figure ties into Kouzuki Momonosuke.
The eyecatcher places the Straw Hat crew next to Vegapunk, anchoring the segment in the Egghead context.
Notes
Filed as Recap 23, the special aired on August 31, 2025. It opens with Carmine and closes on Punks, and it belongs to the Egghead stretch of the anime.
True to the recap format, the episode introduces no new plot and instead recombines previously aired footage around its giant-themed framing.
