The Canon Colours of One Piece ep 2: Orange Town
I did another one of these for another break week! I’d like to make these a tradition for weeks where I can’t do a chapter review, so it would be real nice for the manga to get back on a more normal release schedule so take a little time pressure off. Video editing and audio…

One Piece chapter 1189 review
It’s really getting grim now, and with the end of volume 116 potentially just a chapter or two away, this one marks an inflection point for the series’ tone. Things are set to get even worse with a wounded mentor figure leaping into the fight; and while it wouldn’t totally be in Oda’s typical style…

The Canon Colours of One Piece
While One Piece is on a break, I want to share a side project I’ve been cooking. Here, I look into how many of One Piece’s characters have been drawn in colour by Oda over the years, if he’s drawn them consistently, and whether or not the anime adaptations and colour manga have remained accurate…

One Piece chapter 1188 review
Holy shit, what a chapter. You can’t even get too analytical about a thing like this, it’s just great action and a huge story beat. I think the Jump cover and colour spread here are very nice bits of art (I’m understating it, the colour spread is gorgeous), but they don’t really scream anniversary to…

One Piece chapter 1187 review
Oh we’re here, it’s happening. The final fight of Elbaph is finally in motion, and surely there can be no more food breaks or flashbacks. At most, a pause with a fakeout defeat to set up some Gunko/Shuri reveals. With Egghead being structured so different, it’s been legitimately more than four years since we were…

One Piece chapter 1186 review
Oda? Hey, listen to me. Oda. Oda. Hey. What’s up with you and stabbing people through the head lately? You know that’s an event that should leave at least one long-term side effect, right? You’ve already got a reputation for not killing off characters who probably should have died and you have got to know…

One Piece chapter 1185 review
Oh, we’re three for three on Brook’s songs being the chapter titles. I think they’re gonna go for the whole flashback! I would love for Oda to do things like that more often. The flashback steps up its pacing substantially as we cross the midpoint of the volume here, probably setting us up for the…

One Piece chapter 1184 review
(Posting late because of some weather-related internet issues at my place this week.) I think this chapter is going to be unpopular among a certain kind of reader. It’s short, it doesn’t move the main plot forward and it has the misfortune of landing right before a break. And that’s a true shame, this one…

One Piece chapter 1183 review
It’s a treat to be back with a 19 page chapter, a colour spread and a Jump cover. Not to mention an out-of-nowhere Brook flashback! I’m a little disappointed that Oda didn’t take the chance to give us colour art of Imu, but I recognise that was always kind of a longshot. Oda has never…

One Piece chapter 1182 review
Oda couldn’t let two arcs in a row go past without major Zoro and Sanji battles, could he? I really thought we were just going to let Imu be fully in focus for the final stage. I don’t want to sound like I’m making a powerscaling/aura farming kind of argument here, but it’s an observable…
