One Piece chapter 1140 review and analysis
Oda is such a tease. Let there be no fear that the series is wrapping up anytime soon. Despite a hugely memorable entrance Shamrock seems to be ducking out to save his boss status for later, and even Scopper hints that he plans to sit things out and not reveal anything he has to say…

One Piece chapter 1139 review and analysis
It’s definitely not the blockbuster that the last two chapters were, but the rollercoaster had to peak somewhere, and I don’t think there’s many who’d complain about getting a Scopper Gaban reveal. Even with a shorter pagecount and break week to really make things feel like old times. I’m on record somewhere on the internet…

One Piece chapter 1138 review and mural analysis
I’m going to put it out there. This is the best One Piece chapter since the Reverie kicked off in mid-2018. The Emperors’ bounties and Roger laughing in Wano came close, but this is the first thing to truly make me feel like I did back at that last big reveal. While I don’t think…

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…

One Piece chapter 1135 review
New year, new Piece, let’s go! We kick off with a pleasant surprise of Tama taking charge in the cover story. Good for her. Holdem’s dropped sword taking out the lion on the way down is a fun detail. There’s a mix of highs and lows in this first week of the year, Oda doubling…

One Piece chapter 1133 review
Man, I don’t even want to go deep and analytical with this one. It’s just nice, you know. It’s an incredibly sweet thing that’s happened for a character that deserves it all and more. The perfect thing to follow the relentless darkness of Kuma’s story and the loss of Vegapunk in the last arc. Yes,…

One Piece chapter 1132 review
What a weird month and a bit it’s been. The double two-week breaks with a single chapter in the middle was weirdly discombobulating, making it feel like it’s been longer than it really has since the last chapter. I feel bad for Oda, falling ill right after the research break, when he seemed like he…

One Piece chapter 1131 review
Back after two weeks for the Elbaph kick-off, let’s go! The mythology and characters of the island continue to slowly build and offer possibilities of what could be coming without committing the story too hard in any one direction. It’s still way too soon to make any definitive statements about where Elbaph is going and…

The Great Big Egghead Review
Over about a week, I reread the whole Egghead arc, start to end, going about a volume at a time. I’m going to be very curious to see the blind reactions from people who catch up from this point on and experience the whole thing blind, because it is so hard to believe this is…
