One Piece chapter 1039 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Welp, it seems like he’s gone and done it. Oda’s finally let an Emperor fall at the hands of the up and coming generation. Big Mom’s defeat isn’t totally confirmed, but it’s hard to deny how this chapter makes it look. We start with…

One Piece chapter 1038 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I’m pleasantly surprised to see some real fallout and consequences from the sea battle from the end of Whole Cake Island. Now this cover story has my attention. Will Judge go back for Niji and Yonji? How will the timeline for a rescue mission…

One Piece chapter 1037 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The opening pages here cast some doubt on my prediction that 1036 was the start of a new volume. Oda’s opened both volumes 101 and 102 with cutaways to the festival down below, so what’s one more? It’s a good way to lead into…

One Piece chapter 1036 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. First things first, what the heck is going on with the Jump cover? There’s something about that bread Luffy (call him Loafy) that’s just incredibly offputting. I very much love the the colour spread though – the city of tall buildings flooded and frozen…

One Piece chapter 1035 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Another fight down, and very likely another volume as well, although I guess there’s a nonzero chance it’ll run one more chapter to full confirm King’s defeat and maybe wrap up the Orochi thread as well. And I think with both Queen and seemingly…

One Piece chapter 1034 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Volume 101 continuing a whole lot more endpages than normal and being a chapter short of estimates means we’re actually now at the ninth chapter of volume 102, which definitely puts the progress of the current battles in a different light. That makes me…

One Piece chapter 1033 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I really am surprised the Orochi cliffhanger last week didn’t lead directly into a resolution of his arc, but instead we’re getting Lunarian lore, Shimotsuki lore and sword lore, so I can hardly complain. Well, I can a little. Despite the awesome developments and…

One Piece chapter 1032 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This one definitely feels a little slower compared to the last few. Like going back to a transitional phase of the story. I was expecting to move quickly from the Sanji stuff at the end of last chapter to a quick takedown of Queen…

One Piece chapter 1031 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Well, we’re about halfway through volume 102 and… am I dreaming? Is this… actually compelling character development for Sanji? That addresses the issues his women problems have created? Oda must think it’s my birthday or something. Anyway, the colour spread is a little bit…

One Piece chapter 1030 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Contrary to popular opinion, I loved most of this chapter, Oda’s really going all out for the climax of the battle. Colour pages next week to keep the hype going are just gravy on top of it all. The title, while poetic, was an…
