Introducing the One Piece Rewrite Project
On this break with for the manga, with so little else to talk about, I thought I’d introduce an idea that’s been hanging over my mind for a long time: a rewritten script for the One Piece manga, compiled from the information in as many previous versions, both official and fanmade, as I can find,…

One Piece chapter 1116 review
Aww, I was so hopeful we could get to the end of the broadcast before the next break, but it seems like two weeks on, one week off is just our life now. At least the end does seem to be close. Yamato certainly seems popular in the Flower Capital, which is probably a good…

One Piece chapter 1115 review
I’m looking forward to reading this run of chapters all in one go without the breaks. The biggest lore bombs since the Reverie, intercut with series-spanning blasts from the past as we can see that everyone we’ve met before this point is impacted by the current story. Every new line of concrete info that gets…

One Piece chapter 1114 review
This chapter really wants to give Vegapunk’s message space to resonate and lean hard on the idea that it’s something that impacts the whole world. It definitely slows things down on the weekly read, but it’s probably going to be best for the long-term pacing and story structure to make sure this section has gravitas.…

One Piece chapter 1113 review
Hooray, it’s really happening! This is very much a build-up/anticipation chapter most of the way through, but Oda makes a smart choice to drop the first bomb at the end instead of leaving us waiting, so it won’t feel like a total copout even if the broadcast is shut down before it’s complete. And now…

One Piece chapter 1112 review
It’s good to be back! To be honest, I had a fairly busy April, so it feels like the big break has gone faster than previous years. I thought I would suffer more. Maybe we’re all just getting more used to this now-annual tradition. Hope Oda’s feeling more rested as well! This is the chapter…

One Piece chapter 1111 review
Last one going into another long break. Potentially but not definitely the end of volume 109. And I think a shift into the final bit of action for the Egghead Arc. While I’m disappointed to have to go three weeks without, I definitely prefer Oda getting the downtime he needs to carry the story through…

One Piece chapter 1110 review
This is a chapter that doesn’t disappoint. Things are really heating up as we hit the tenth chapter of volume 109 with Egghead’s likely final end-of-volume cliffhanger to come in the next chapter or two. But we start out with a new cover story, and yeah, it’s Yamato following Oden’s tour of Wano, which is…

One Piece chapter 1109 review
Ten minutes? Boo. BOOOOOOO! What a tease. That’s, what, 4 chapters of Dressrosa time? 18 chapters of Namek time? Fine. It’s fine. But to get more serious, this is Egghead going full circle. First we were set up to expect a defensive siege of the main lab, then it evolved into an escape sequence, and…

One Piece chapter 1108 review
Ooh, this is actually heating up right when I was expecting Egghead to start winding down and continue cutting off sources of tension. There was a point a year and a bit ago where the question might have been asked, ‘why this arc, on this island?’ If Oda is rushing to the finale, what does…
