Luffy has not met Shanks again yet in the canon One Piece anime as of early 2026.

The story has brought them close (for example, both being around Wano and Shanks appearing in episode 1081), but they still have not had an on‑screen reunion or proper face‑to‑face meeting since Shanks left Foosha Village in the prologue. Most “Luffy meets Shanks again” clips or titles you see on video platforms are fan edits, speculative animations, or theory content rather than actual anime episodes.

So if you’re watching the official anime and wondering “what episode does Luffy meet Shanks again?” , the accurate answer right now is: there is no such episode yet; their reunion is still one of the most anticipated future moments in the series.
