One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has always amazed readers with his clever foreshadowing, and now fans have found another “wild” example after Chapter 1125.
The new chapter brings One Piece closer to the upcoming Elbaf arc. It gives us a glimpse into the aftermath of the Egghead arc. A lot has happened on the futuristic island, including the broadcast of Vegapunk and his subsequent murder.
The world knows this event as the “Egghead Incident.” While it’s a relatively recent development, with the arc starting in 2022, One Piece had already told us about it years ago – we just didn’t know what to look for.
After Saturn’s death in Chapter 1125 and the conclusion of the Egghead Arc, readers discovered a surprising connection to an older chapter (and episode). It’s a small detail but specific enough to be Oda’s type of foreshadowing.
In Luffy’s childhood memories with Ace and Sabo, the protagonist is seen wearing a red tank top with an image of a broken egg and a dead chick with the words “tamago jiken” written on it. The phrase translates to “egg incident” in English, an event that would not take place until years to come.

Additionally, fans are convinced that the dead chick on Luffy’s shirt is supposed to be Saturn. The broken egg also resembles how Punk Records floats in the sky in Chapter 1125. This means that Oda not only foreshadowed the Egghead incident years ago, but also left Easter eggs for such important events.
Needless to say, fans are losing their minds over this. written on X“GOD OF FORECASTING for a reason. I don’t want to hear another idiot’s opinion on this.”
“I think by the end of the story we’ll find out he was hinting at One Piece,” another added. A third commented, “The God of Foreshadowing strikes again.”
“It’s really an incredible coincidence if you think about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Oda really had this in mind when he designed the jersey,” said one fan.
“What the fuck? I got on my knees!” commented another one on Reddit.
