‘One Piece’ episode 940 release date, spoilers: Zoro rages upon learning what Orochi, Kaido did with SMILE fruits

“One Piece” episode 940 will feature very gloomy stories following the death of Yasuie. Zoro will be extremely angry upon seeing residents of Ebisu Town laugh loudly when Yausie is executed, but Hiyori offers a dark explanation of why the people cannot grieve.

‘One Piece’ episode 940 reveals the dark truth about SMILE fruit

The inevitable death of Yasuie will lead to the Straw Hats learning about the evil deeds Orochi and Kaido did to the people of Wano by using defective artificial devil fruit. So far, the anime adaptation has been narrating the Wano story arc close to how it was told in the manga, aside from a few chronological tweaks and added scenes. With that, “One Piece” episode 940 is expected to show Hiyori, the Scabbards, and Hyogoro explain why many Wano people are laughing and smiling at the sight of Yasuie’s death.

In the manga, it was revealed that Orochi and Kaido started trading the weapons they make for artificial devil fruits to form a strong army. But only 1 out of 10 people consuming it would get the positive effects while the rest only gets the adverse results including the inability to swim and not being able to feel sadness or anger.

Shinobu explained in the manga that Orochi did not like seeing people being sad from the deaths and despair that his regime brought across Wano. So, knowing what defective devil fruits do to those who eat it, Orochi mixed them with the leftovers they throw for the people in Ebisu. This resulted in most of them consuming the faulty devil fruits. To further add insult, Orochi decided to call it SMILE. Whether “One Piece” episode 940 will follow the exact events from the manga, expect the upcoming anime installment to be a very emotional one.

‘One Piece’ episode 940 release date, where to watch

Luffy is also likely to appear in “One Piece” episode 940 as he watches Yasuie’s execution and the Ebisu Town residents struggle with the effects of SMILE. Like Zoro, the laughing and smiling will anger Luffy but Hyogoro should be by his side to explain why they can no longer feel sadness or anger.

“One Piece” episode 940 will be on the air on Sunday, Sept. 6. It should be released via simulcast on Crunchyroll at 10 a.m. PST.
