One Piece chapter 1046 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I think it’s safe to say from the shifting focus here that we’re back to the start of a new volume. Some people definitely won’t like the change of pace, especially on the weekly read, but it was almost definitely a necessary step to…

One Piece chapter 1045 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I feel like now that the big reveal’s done, Oda’s just trying to see how far he can push this thing – and it’s so fun! I don’t think we’ve seen this much creativity in the way Luffy’s body changes shape in literally years.…

One Piece chapter 1044 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Alright, so Luffy has been combined with a legendary sun deity. Short of the One Piece itself, this is the series’ biggest possible reveal, right? A complete recontextualisation of Luffy’s powers, which have been central since literally chapter one. My gut says this isn’t…

One Piece chapter 1043 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Just a month ago I was wondering about the logic in putting the fall of Big Mom at the midpoint of volume 103. How could Oda possibly find a volume-ender to top that, I wondered. Well now, on the volume’s eighth chapter, we’re starting…

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…
