One Piece chapter 1032 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This one definitely feels a little slower compared to the last few. Like going back to a transitional phase of the story. I was expecting to move quickly from the Sanji stuff at the end of last chapter to a quick takedown of Queen…

One Piece chapter 1031 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Well, we’re about halfway through volume 102 and… am I dreaming? Is this… actually compelling character development for Sanji? That addresses the issues his women problems have created? Oda must think it’s my birthday or something. Anyway, the colour spread is a little bit…

One Piece chapter 1030 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Contrary to popular opinion, I loved most of this chapter, Oda’s really going all out for the climax of the battle. Colour pages next week to keep the hype going are just gravy on top of it all. The title, while poetic, was an…

One Piece chapter 1029 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh, it’s good to be back! The last chapter felt like it ended kind of in the middle of Sanji’s scene, not quite feeling like a natural break point, so it’s good to go straight back into it for this one. I appreciate that…

One Piece chapter 1028 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. It only makes sense to go from a Zoro chapter to a Sanji one, just to keep things even. The colour spread here is definitely going to go down as a favourite. Oda would be a Smash Bros fan, wouldn’t he? A few of…

One Piece chapter 1027 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We get a cool, actiony chapter for the likely opening of volume 102. There’s not a lot of substance that can be said about it – all the main plot threads are just chugging along their expected paths – but that doesn’t make it…

One Piece chapter 1026 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh man, I thought like the last chapter felt like a great end to volume 101, but even though this one doesn’t have quite as memorable a final page it’s hard to imagine the book being complete without Luffy and Kaido splitting the sky.…

One Piece chapter 1025 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re at the first possible end point for volume 101, and what a place it is to stop. We’re also back to normal cover pages, which once again raises the question of which chapter the WT100 spread will be made part of for the…

One Piece chapter 1024 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. While not as mindblowingly great as the last few, Oda’s still going strong in this, the ninth chapter of volume 101, which is shaping up to be one of the series most memorable volumes. Interestingly, the official releases don’t see the WT100 spread as part of…

One Piece chapter 1023 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, this was a satisfying one to read. Oda couldn’t have done a better job if he’d asked me personally what he should cover. First, he draws a connection between King’s Fire and the idea of humans spontaneously combusting, which I wrote a whole…
