One Piece chapter 1078 review
Watch the video version of this review on YouTube here. For a short chapter it sure as hell feels like a lot happened this week, and Oda’s building up Egghead to be a much more pivotal arc than I think anyone expected it to be. With the flashback over, it feels like the cover story…

One Piece chapter 1077 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. Ugh, I read the title and assumed it was pointing toward an enemy reveal. Oda played the hell out of me on this one. Not that I can be too upset, with the reveal set to happen next week and the Labophase Death Game hurtling…

One Piece chapter 1076 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. Our colour pages this week feel like a return to familiar territory. After a long run of both colour spreads and Jump covers being taken up by Film Red promos or Gear Five, we finally get some current-arc outfits on the cover and a more…

One Piece chapter 1075 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. I can’t say I saw this one coming at all. I’ve been setting myself up for a siege arc, first trying to defend the beaches from Borsalino’s fleet, the struggling to hold the lab as the Pacifista and Seraphim are turned by Saturn. Instead, all…

One Piece chapter 1074 review
Find a video version of this review on YouTube here. Okay, we’re back, and despite the hype of a long-awaited Vivi appearance, this feels like a slow, transitional chapter with a lot of plot threads and mysteries building, but very little in the way of real answers. It’s good seeing Sentomaru has a little more…

One Piece chapter 1073 review
Egghead definitely seems to be heating up, but the direction of the arc remains hard to parse with the state of advantage between the Strawhats/Vegapunks and Cipher Pol swinging like a pendulum from chapter to chapter. Will there be an escape sequence? Will we stand and fight against Borsalino’s fleet? Will Cipher Pol slip their…

One Piece chapter 1072 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The synergy between the cover story and the main chapter is something I’m really enjoying lately. There’s a great contrast between the scientists working to mass-produce weapons of slaughter on the cover and Vegapunk’s commentary calling it the “lab for peace” on the next…

One Piece chapter 1071 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. While the colour spread is nice-looking artistically (the red and white is a great palette) I can’t be alone in feeling a tad Uta’d out. Three of the last five colour pages have featured her or Film Red, not even thinking of Jump covers.…

One Piece chapter 1070 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This chapter was a pretty good note to end the year on, but I’m gonna keep this brief because I’m pretty wiped from a weekend of Christmas events. Mads are looking cool on the cover. Something about Vegapunk trying to be tough with that…

One Piece chapter 1069 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh wow, Luffy and Lucci back in the ring after 16 years, how far we’ve come. The year’s shaping up to end on a really high note with this one. Even the cover story’s worthy of note this time. I love seeing unexpected connections…
