One Piece chapter 1126 review
After like four more chapters of Egghead loose ends than expected, I think we can finally call the transition to an Elbaf arc complete. But we still spend most of the chapter on things that follow up past arcs. Shanks has been waiting to check Barto off his to-do list since Wano, the Blackbeard sections…

One Piece chapter 1125 review
One Piece arcs have slow and bloated midsections that can be difficult to sit through week to week. This is nothing new; we’ve been doing this dance since Skypiea. But it’s the endings, the post-arc lore bombs like this, that make it all worthwhile. Now, I don’t want to toot my own horn too much,…

One Piece chapter 1124 review
Egghead lingers on for one last coda, but it’s worth staying for, closing those last few emotional openings that we’d all been wondering about. But there’s kind of not a lot to say about it. The things that happen pay off the arc’s buildup in ways that make sense, and they all work well in…

One Piece chapter 1123
The idea of arcs and sagas as a two-tier approach to story structure exists mostly in fan wikis rather than officially released material, but it was an effective way to show how a lot of the overarching pre-timeskip stories came together over multiple islands. Post-timeskip, that model became largely irrelevant as everything started to point…

One Piece chapter 1122 review
See, all you people who ask why we don’t see more of Smoker, all you have to do to make him appear is write a decade-long bestselling rival manga. If you wanted it that bad you’d be doing it already, so get cracking! In all actual seriousness though, Hero Aca had a strong run and…

The One Piece Rewrite Project Volume 3
Hey crew, it’s break week, so let’s have another One Piece Rewrite Project release. Read volume 3 here! I expected to reconcile inconsistencies created by old translations when I started this, but here I was surprised to be confronted by inconsistent-feeling things that seem to have come from Oda himself. When was the last time…

One Piece chapter 1121 review
I think there can be no doubt about it – this is the climax of Egghead and the finale of volume 110. There may technically be one last chapter to go at the start of the next volume as Emet makes his final play and Vegapunk signs off, but there’s no mistaking that the moment…

Introducing the One Piece Vivre Card Character Archive
One Piece’s Vivre Card databook is a constantly-expanding set of Japanese character profiles that assigns just about every character in the series a number, based mostly on their order of appearance. Though they more compile existing information than introduce anything new, these profiles are something I’ve been following with great interest. This archive of numbered…

One Piece chapter 1120 review
Nineteen pages without even the extra two added by a colour spread. Wow. This hasn’t happened since… chapter 869, back in 2017. We’re 10 chapters into volume 110 but I don’t think it’s over yet, not with the amount of 13 pagers in the run. I think there’s a pretty good chance this volume and…

The Future of One Piece’s Digital Colour Manga
It may not be universal knowledge that the One Piece has a completely official (and quite high quality) full colour release, due to it being Japanese only and digital only, and therefore only readable via scanlations. But it does exist, and unfortunately it has stalled following the release of volume 99 in September 2022. That’s…
