One Piece chapter 963 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Reading through this, I would really have expected it to be the final chapter of volume 95, because what a note to end on, but according to the volume’s pagecount we’ve got one more to go. What could Oda possibly add to make a…

One Piece chapter 962 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Rejoyce, for at last we’re getting a cover story with a Donquixote Family member. We can put the old debate to rest forever: yes, Kuween made it out of there alive. It’s One Piece, what did we exect? Glad to have all the loose…

One Piece chapter 961 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. After fighting a monstrous boar and being exiled from his hometown, Kozuki Oden must travel across the land to find a cure for his curse and see with eyes unclouded by hate… wait no, wrong story, that’s not right. Pack it up. Denjiro is…

One Piece chapter 960 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, Oden just has the biggest dick energy, doesn’t he? Oda’s been building this guy up to be a huge personality in a world comprised almost exclusively of big personalities, and so far I’m not disappointed. He’s not just loud and capable and constantly doing what…

One Piece chapter 959 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Interesting chapter. Certainly was no expecting the Oden flashback so soon, feels like the current events aren’t a relevant enough trigger for it. I’m sure the things we learn about Oden and Orochi’s relationship will put this choice into perspective in hindsight. Given the…

One Piece chapter 958 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Short chapter this week, but a pretty strong one for what it is. The Roger flashback was unexpected but appreciated, even if it was light on details that could be connected to the tantalizing reveals of the past couple weeks. And then we’re on…

One Piece chapter 957 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I think only One Piece could deliver a chapter of pure, actionless exposition and infodumping and make it this exciting to read. This is the kind of thing other fantasy writers only wish they could make people invested enough in their worldbuilding to get…

One Piece chapter 956 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Well this was a chapter and a half, wasn’t it? Oda’s spent 20 odd years establishing the delicate structure and balance of power of his world, both in geopolitics and the criminal underworld, and how the two interact, and now he’s set in motion…

One Piece chapter 955 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Finally! The end of Act Two! Things are really picking up now, and what an excellent chapter to end on. My only real complaint about the series at the minute has nothing to do with the chapter at all, it’s just the way they…

One Piece chapter 954 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. There’s some chapters where you read it and you just know Oda did a couple of pages less than normal even before you look at the pagecount. This was the kind of chapter where I would have guessed a plus size 19 pages right…
