One Piece chapter 1168 review
The climax of the flashback draws close, I feel like in maybe as few as two chapters we could be back in the present for the first time since… June? Jesus christ. That’s such a long time to go without our actual main character. There’s more leaping forward in time here with some surprising skips.…

One Piece chapter 1167 review
We’re officially in a new phase of the flashback now, leaping forward by years at a time to reach the next pivotal beat. This week represents one of our biggest looks yet behind the scenes of the God Knights’ structure and organisation, providing a few answers and a whole lot of new mysteries. Oh, and…

One Piece chapter 1158 review
Mmmmm okay, one more week. It’s looking more and more likely this flashback is going to fill most if not all of volume 114, with God Valley, Harald’s fate and Loki’s rampage and capture to still to cover. This is a very transitional chapter though, a little unfortunate to return to after a break week.…

One Piece chapter 1156 review
Were we premature talking about 28 years with the last chapter? Because this week’s colour spread feels a lot more like an anniversary celebration piece than the previous one. The parallels with Roger’s crew. The whole gang together in Luffy’s backpack. It cuts a lot closer to the core of the story than last chapter’s…

One Piece chapter 1155 review
Twenty-eight years. Ain’t that something. Makes you wonder what you could achieve working nonstop on one project for that long. As is traditional, we get a Jump cover and a colour spread. The sense of scale and level of detail in the cityscape for the colour spread is awesome even if there’s not a lot…

One Piece chapter 1154 review
We’re truly moving into the endgame with this one. This is the first possible end point for volume 113, and while that would make a pretty short volume, it’s a huge reveal to use for the final cliffhanger. Even the cover story is building into something promising with (maybe) the long-awaited reveal of Ryuma’s shrine.…

One Piece chapter 1153 review
Our flashback is chugging a long at a fairly pleasing pace. Harald’s story plays out fast enough that we didn’t have to wait long for the real key figures of Hajrudin and Loki to turn up. The same can maybe not be said for Yamato’s cover story, which now feels like it’s running down a…

One Piece chapter 1145 review
Oh, I’m surprised the anime colour spread gets to be included in the official release as a part of the chapter. When I heard it wasn’t drawn by Oda and the chapter had a normal cover anyway, I figured it was just colour pages for the magazine. Wonder if it’ll keep its place in the…

One Piece chapter 1137 review
Back on three chapters in a row, and the main plot is keeping on picking up steam. This is bliss! The chapter may only have two segments but both are rich with new lore and statements with deeper implications. We start in the castle, and I have to first compliment the ruined aesthetic. Like previous…

One Piece chapter 1136 review
Alright, the holiday break season seems to be over, and it looks like we’re starting to get to the main plot of Elbaph. I’m excited to get back into a One Piece rhythm. In the cover story, Who’s Who reminds us all that he was once a spy with his incredibly subtle secret base. But…
