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…

One Piece chapter 1181 review
Okay, it’s another dialogue-light fighting chapter. These can be tough to get through on the weekly read when there’s too many of them in a row. But for now, the spectacle of the giant battle retains its novelty. I think it would have been cool to see a little more background and environment during the…

One Piece chapter 1180 review
If the last chapter was all about setting the atmosphere, this one is here to really lock in the first impression. Make Imu walk the walk and establish himself as the final boss candidate he really wants to be (even if I’m still ultimately team Blackbeard). I’m glad we get the standing shot of Imu…

One Piece chapter 1179 review
I’ve been saying for weeks that something else had to be coming, but this beyond my wildest expectations. I thought this chapter would be a big one for Elbaph, but instead it’s a titanic moment for One Piece as a whole. Oda spends every page he had this week building slowly to the final reveal…

One Piece chapter 1178 review
Rather than committing to the big battle that the last chapter promised, Oda switches gears into a setup mode disguised as a cooldown mode. He even has Sanji lampshade how abruptly things seem to be ending. But the next stage, whatever it’s going to be, isn’t the obvious thing. Should have known Oda wouldn’t be…

One Piece chapter 1177 review
I think we’ve reached the end of volume 115 with this one. I had kinda hoped the end-of-book cliffhanger for this one would be the turn for the worse that kicks off the secret final stage of the battle (come on, Reversi Loki), but it’s much more in Oda’s style to call it on this…

One Piece chapter 1176 review
I came into this one expecting the turning point and have instead come out with mixed feelings. Oda is doubling down on the feeling that we’ve reached the climax by giving the heroes victorious moments and the villains losses. Meanwhile the rules of Domi Reversi only get murkier. The colour pages initially confused me –…

One Piece chapter 1175 review
With this chapter the arc is at a turning point. The Strawhats’ turnaround of the situation is feeling close to complete and major villains are being downed effortlessly. Within the next couple of weeks we should be able to see if the arc is wrapping up here, or if there’s another leg to the battle.…

One Piece chapter 1174 review
That certainly was an entrance worth waiting for. But for all the hype, I’m a little confused about where Oda plans to take this arc’s finale. Things seem a little too set in the heroes’ favour, so I’ve been expecting a reversal from the God Knights to set the final stage of the battle. But…

One Piece chapter 1173 review
The recap is done and the action is moving! Still no Luffy and Loki though. If we were any closer to the end of the volume I might guess that Oda’s saving them for that final page, but three chapters (minimum) is a long time for a guy who was so confident he could casually…
