Anime News Network rates One Piece episode 1174 a 4.5. The review praises the episode for making a predictable siege compelling through strong pacing and dramatic irony. The first half sells the nightmare creatures' menace, while the back half focuses on Saul's agonizing attempts to help the children. Brogy and Dorry's return delivers an uplifting climax.
The latest One Piece episode earns a community score of 4.5 from Anime News Network, with the reviewer admitting the episode holds no real surprises yet still manages to grip from start to finish. The first half leans into the monstrous nature of the nightmare creatures, using dramatic irony as Usopp, Nami, Brook, and Jinbei try to piece together what is happening while the threat escalates.
The back half shifts to Saul, who is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the children but finds even that impossible because of the thorns' nature. The Holy Knights call him pathetic, twisting the moment further. Brogy and Dorry's return provides the uplift, with their Hakoku Sovereignty mega-beam banishing the cartoonish monsters in a sequence the review calls expertly done.
