One Piece chapter 1071 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. While the colour spread is nice-looking artistically (the red and white is a great palette) I can’t be alone in feeling a tad Uta’d out. Three of the last five colour pages have featured her or Film Red, not even thinking of Jump covers.…

One Piece chapter 1070 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This chapter was a pretty good note to end the year on, but I’m gonna keep this brief because I’m pretty wiped from a weekend of Christmas events. Mads are looking cool on the cover. Something about Vegapunk trying to be tough with that…

One Piece chapter 1069 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh wow, Luffy and Lucci back in the ring after 16 years, how far we’ve come. The year’s shaping up to end on a really high note with this one. Even the cover story’s worthy of note this time. I love seeing unexpected connections…

One Piece chapter 1068 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Egghead Island is escalating surprisingly fast this week, but I’m happy to see Oda doubling down on Vegapunk leaving with the crew. That should give him the chance to spread out the exposition over the course of this last saga instead of doing it…

One Piece chapter 1067 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re pumping the brakes a little here, compared to the last couple of chapters, but that’s okay. We’re in a new volume, one way or another, so things will need to start building up again. It’s a short chapter too, going into the break,…

One Piece chapter 1066 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The hits just keep on coming. And I thought the last chapter’s talk of the Ancient Kingdom’s technology was a big one, but this week blows it out of the water. The story really is pulling together now. The Water Seven Saga remains my…

One Piece chapter 1065 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re back, and right at the possible end of volume 105 for some big reveals and a nice little bit of action to round out the book. That last page has me feeling like mysteries that have been building for most of my lifetime…

One Piece chapter 1064 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. What a crazy chapter to leave things on going into a break. Volume 105 is building to its conclusion soon and I’m absolutely buzzing about it. The cover story alone is huge, confirming Kuzan’s status as a full fledged Blackbeard Pirate. I’m willing to…

One Piece chapter 1063 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oda explored the idea of cutting away to global events during an ongoing arc using Wano’s intermissions but even those were made distinct and separate from the arc surrounding them. For the final saga, he takes it further. Any scene break could lead to…

One Piece chapter 1062 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Don’t take this as too much of a detriment to the Wano arc, but chapter 1062 is one of the most exciting and enjoyable One Piece releases I’ve seen in years. Oda is clearly having the time of his life being free from the…
