One Piece chapter 1100 review
We know that aside from 100 and 1000, Oda’s never really written around milestones, but you still generally find something that feels like a big step on each hundred chapters. While we have a pretty damn good chapter of One Piece this week, I don’t think there’s anything that really qualifies it as a giant…

One Piece chapter 1099 review
I’m glad to see Oda’s break treated him well after the last chapter, because this one is not only completely finished, I’d say it’s one of the cleanest looking we’ve seen in a while. The lines seem very sharp relative to the sketchiness that’s become a trademark of the last few years. There’s areas of…

One Piece chapter 1098 review
This is a big one. Lots to talk about, lots to think about. A lot of… interesting reactions from fans on all corners of the internet that I want to reflect on. The first thing that stands out is the art. While mistakes have happened and corrections have been needed, the is the first time…

One Piece chapter 1096 review
I knew it. I knew we’d be coming back to God Valley later. I feel vindicated for not getting my hopes up too high. Oda does a great job of building up what a massive convergence of big names it was, even if we only get a prelude here. At least the fanbase seems to…

One Piece chapter 1094 review
Well that’s an escalation I wasn’t expecting to see for at least a few more chapters. It can’t be emphasised enough how brisk the Egghead Pacing is compared to Wano. A problem for the crew like Bonney being stuck down below is raised in chapter 1092 and by just 1094 she’s been rescued and is…

One Piece 1093 review
At this midpoint of volume 108, we get a short chapter without much to say except how enjoyable this current battle is. Gear Five has really taken the shackles off and goes a long way to silence any who thought the endgame fights would devolve into haki power scaling. I love Borsalino’s expression as Luffy…

One Piece chapter 1092 review
Things really feel like they’re getting back in gear this week, proving that the last chapter’s burst of energy wasn’t just a one-off. And no more break either, to keep the momentum going. While it’s not the Egghead material I think many were hoping for, the opening Marie Geoise flashback does show a willingness to…

One Piece chapter 1091 Review
Oh wow, it’s happening! And to be completely honest, until Oda started setting up that Borsalino was going straight to where Luffy is in the last chapter, this rematch wasn’t something I’d really seen coming or expected. Sure, Borsalino was instrumental in the crew’s crushing defeat at Sabaody, but even that was overshadowed in the…

One Piece chapter 1090 Review
Well the breaks are killing me and I’ve officially given up on trying to parse Egghead’s structure with all the cutaways, but the larger conflict here is building up in a satisfying way in this (likely) middle stage of volume 108. Seeing Kuro on the cover is cool! Hopefully the live action has put it…

One Piece chapter 1089 Review
This was a cool way to bring things back to the “main” plot, however we’re quantifying that at this stage of the story. It’s a very recappy chapter, but it uses the time it’s taking to go over everything to set up and subvert the reader’s expectations. I think we all knew we weren’t going…
