One Piece chapter 1191 review
Another Jump cover that doesn’t show Imu? Fine, we’re celebrating Luffy’s WT100 win. Makes sense, but such a foregone conclusion I could have lived without a whole cover dedicated to it. I hope we don’t have to wait for the vol 116 drop (in presumably the ballpark of November) to see Imu’s colours. And speaking…

The Canon Colours of One Piece ep. 3: Syrup Village
Another break week video on colours! Losing my mind over boots, bags, slingshots and of course the Merry’s figurehead.

One Piece chapter 1190 review
It’s starting to feel very end-of-volume over here, isn’t it? Especially considering that if we end here, the big chapter 1200 and whatever Oda has planned for it could potentially be the finale of volume 117. There’s not much particularly surprising in this chapter as far as story development goes, but Oda manages to make…

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…
