One Piece chapter 1042 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh. Didn’t see that coming. Wow. RIP to the idea of wrapping the fight up in volume 103. Probably… Drake coming back only to fail to take down the CP0 boss (surely he deserves a name after this one) is a real shame. I…

One Piece chapter 1041 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. After months of predicting it basically every chapter, we really do seem to finally be in the wrap-up stage of the battle. I’m not sure if Oda will manage to get Kaido’s fall by the end of volume 103, but it’s probably going to…

One Piece chapter 1040 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. So it wasn’t quite over yet. There’s a fun irony in the cover showing Big Mom kicking ass while she takes her ultimate loss in the chapter, but the cover’ description of her as “a creature beyond the power of science” really drives home…

One Piece chapter 1039 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Welp, it seems like he’s gone and done it. Oda’s finally let an Emperor fall at the hands of the up and coming generation. Big Mom’s defeat isn’t totally confirmed, but it’s hard to deny how this chapter makes it look. We start with…

One Piece chapter 1038 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I’m pleasantly surprised to see some real fallout and consequences from the sea battle from the end of Whole Cake Island. Now this cover story has my attention. Will Judge go back for Niji and Yonji? How will the timeline for a rescue mission…

One Piece chapter 1037 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The opening pages here cast some doubt on my prediction that 1036 was the start of a new volume. Oda’s opened both volumes 101 and 102 with cutaways to the festival down below, so what’s one more? It’s a good way to lead into…

One Piece chapter 1036 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. First things first, what the heck is going on with the Jump cover? There’s something about that bread Luffy (call him Loafy) that’s just incredibly offputting. I very much love the the colour spread though – the city of tall buildings flooded and frozen…

One Piece chapter 1035 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Another fight down, and very likely another volume as well, although I guess there’s a nonzero chance it’ll run one more chapter to full confirm King’s defeat and maybe wrap up the Orochi thread as well. And I think with both Queen and seemingly…

One Piece chapter 1034 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Volume 101 continuing a whole lot more endpages than normal and being a chapter short of estimates means we’re actually now at the ninth chapter of volume 102, which definitely puts the progress of the current battles in a different light. That makes me…

One Piece chapter 1033 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I really am surprised the Orochi cliffhanger last week didn’t lead directly into a resolution of his arc, but instead we’re getting Lunarian lore, Shimotsuki lore and sword lore, so I can hardly complain. Well, I can a little. Despite the awesome developments and…
