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 1134 review
Elbaf is getting in gear and starting to hint toward its real themes and storylines. The prelude, reunion and environmental art dumps seem to be wrapping up, but even with the big cliffhanger this one ends on there’s likely to be a crossfade between the opening worldbuilding and the serious story over the coming chapters.…

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…

One Piece chapter 1130 review
What a place to leave off before a two week break. As expected, we have actually arrived in Elbaph and man, the art is worth the years of build-up. This is also the ninth chapter of volume 111, making it the book’s first possible stopping point. It would be a short volume, with a number…

One Piece chapter 1129 review
The mini mystery of the last couple of chapters will be a footnote in One Piece’s run – likely to be resolved in a matter of minutes by all future readers as the answer isn’t even going to be broken up between volumes – but it’s a great show of Oda’s willingness to keep arcs…
