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…

One Piece chapter 1172 review
I think it’s a little funny that we finally see Luffy again after seven months then immediately go to a chapter without him. I can live with a little bit of a recap chapter after such a long break. It’s a necessary evil for the casual readers, and at least it comes with some nice…

One Piece chapter 1171 review
Well I’m glad to be back in the present and playing with Luffy again, but as flashback endings go, this one wasn’t quite it. When I think of a successful flashback, I think of returning to the present with a new perspective on the relationships and motives of the primary characters, and this sequence was…

One Piece chapter 1170 review
Back again, and we get the climax of the flashback to start off the new year. My hope is that we’ll be back in the present at the end of the next chapter, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it takes until the one after. The cover page is a cute one. An eel train…

One Piece’s Wins and Losses of 2025
This has been a pretty great year despite the number of chapters released staying low. Oda clearly has momentum and inspiration and is aware enough of his limitations to keep the story moving at a decent clip. There’s room for concern that he’s going a little too quick – a few key relationships are feeling…

One Piece chapter 1169 review
That’s a bow on 2025! Wow, what a year. It feels almost like a shame to not squeeze one more chapter in and get the climax of the flashback done so we can start fresh in the present for 2026, but that’s life. We get some great colour work to wrap up with – the…

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 1166 review
Oda takes a chapter to put a bow on the God Valley storyline and ease us back to Harald. And it feels like a reasonable ending for volume 114. It’s always nice getting that Jump cover/colour spread combo as well. The spread has some nice, autumnal vibes with some pleasing new outfits for the characters…
