One Piece Chapter 1163 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases in recent memory, as the God Valley Incident, a story arc decades in the making, appears to be reaching its grand climax. Following the explosive events of Chapter 1162 titled “God Valley Battle Royale”, fans are now expecting Eiichiro Oda to finally bring the legendary battle to its conclusion.
According to the early One Piece Chapter 1163 preview, “God Valley is reaching its climax! How will this incident be resolved?” and that alone is enough to send the fandom into overdrive.
The endgame of the God Valley Flashback
The God Valley flashback has been an incredible journey through one of the most mysterious moments in One Piece history. Over the last several chapters, Oda has meticulously pieced together the web of chaos involving Rocks D. Xebec’s pirate crew, the World Government, the Marines, the Roger Pirates, and the terrifying God’s Knights.
One Piece Chapter 1162 brought everything to a fever pitch, ending with Imu’s shocking descent onto the battlefield, possessing Saint Saturn’s body, and fusing with the Gyuki form. This fusion set the stage for an unimaginable clash, one that might explain why the island of God Valley was wiped from history. The appearance of Imu, described by Xebec himself as “The World,” is a massive narrative bombshell.
For years, Imu’s power and role have been shrouded in secrecy, but with the celestial monarch now standing against Rocks, Whitebeard, and Kaidou, the story seems ready to show us how the “World Government’s darkness” was first unleashed.
With so many players already injured or separated, Rayleigh and Shakky fleeing, Garp trying to save the remnants of the civilians, and Kuma rescuing hundreds of slaves, One Piece Chapter 1163 might shift focus entirely to the final confrontation between the living embodiments of freedom, tyranny, and chaos.
What does the One Piece Chapter 1163 preview suggest?
The preview tease from One Piece Chapter 1163 doesn’t reveal much, “God Valley is reaching its climax! How will this incident resolve?” but it implies that the God Valley storyline might be entering its final two or three chapters. The community is buzzing with speculation on Reddit and X, debating whether the Rocks vs. Imu battle will be shown in full or partially off-screen.
While some fans argue that Oda has already dedicated more than enough time to this flashback, others believe it is vital to give the climax the justice it deserves, especially since it connects directly to the mysteries of Imu, the Void Century, and even Luffy’s current journey in Elbaf.
If One Piece Chapter 1163 indeed closes the curtains on the flashback, it would mean that the series will soon return to the present timeline, likely continuing Garp’s fate at Hachinosu and the aftermath of Egghead.
However, the line “How will this incident resolve?” suggests that the end might not be immediate. Oda could use the next two chapters to deliver the full confrontation between Rocks, Roger, and Imu, an epic that defines not just the past but the foundation of the world as we know it.
Why do fans think the end is near?
The pacing of recent chapters has been lightning-fast, with multiple legendary characters appearing and clashing in a matter of panels. Fans noticed that nearly all key events from the God Valley setup have been addressed, from Kuma’s awakening to Kaidou eating the Uo Uo no Mi and Rocks facing Garling.
The only thing left is the mysterious conclusion: How Rocks D. Xebec “fell,” and why the world erased God Valley’s existence. Oda has also been steadily tying this flashback back to Elbaf. Readers theorize that the flashback is being told from Loki’s and Gaban’s perspectives, both of whom are likely explaining Imu’s role to the Straw Hats in the present.
Once God Valley concludes, the narrative can shift smoothly into the modern-day Elbaf arc, where the Straw Hats might face the full-scale wrath of the World Government and uncover the secret behind Domi Reversi, the weapon Imu might have first used here.
Community reactions: Hope and skepticism
As always, the One Piece fandom has been divided. Some fans are ecstatic at the idea that God Valley is nearing its peak, calling it “holy peak” and “absolute cinema,” while others express frustration, fearing that Oda might off-screen the most crucial fight, just as he did with Shanks vs. Kid or Garp vs. Blackbeard.
A few even argue that the flashback has become too sprawling, losing sight of the central narrative. Still, the majority agree that One Piece Chapter 1163 could redefine the legacy of One Piece’s greatest mystery. Whether we see the final clash in full or only its aftermath, there is no denying that Oda is setting the stage for one of the most consequential transitions in the manga’s history.
Final thoughts
Trending
One Piece Chapter 1163 promises to be a turning point, not just for the God Valley incident, but for the entire series. With Imu’s terrifying manifestation, Rocks’ last stand, and the shadow of history closing in, Oda is about to show fans the moment that shaped the world of One Piece forever.
If Chapter 1162 was the “Battle Royale,” One Piece Chapter 1163 might be “The Judgment.” The question isn’t just how the God Valley Incident ends, it’s why the world wanted it forgotten.
