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…

One Piece chapter 1107 review
The Egghead climax is definitely in full swing now, but it’s still hard to tell how much of a full length, stand-your-ground fight to expect from this arc. Battles lately have left more like skirmishes. They’re not about beating down your opponent until they physically can’t move anymore, it’s enough to make them dazed and…

One Piece chapter 1106 review
Where last week’s chapter was all the slow setup, this one is 100% slow payoff. It’s the turnaround for all of Egghead’s tension, and Oda lets it breathe for an uncharacteristically long time, giving us pages and pages of relishing the Buster Call fleet’s destruction and the ultimate demonstration of Kuma’s love for Bonney. And…

One Piece chapter 1105 review
After two incredible satisfying steps forward, One Piece 2024 has its first transitional chapter, and at just 13 pages it definitely feels short and soft. Not quite recappy, but just playing through a lot of things that need to be played out based on the last couple of chapters’ events. We start with an obligate…
