One Piece chapter 1023 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, this was a satisfying one to read. Oda couldn’t have done a better job if he’d asked me personally what he should cover. First, he draws a connection between King’s Fire and the idea of humans spontaneously combusting, which I wrote a whole…

One Piece chapter 1022 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This week we finally get the overhead view of the Onigashima interior people have been asking for literally since the battle started. But what we’re shown here actually raises a few new questions. At a glance, I wasn’t sure how to reconcile the view…

One Piece chapter 1021 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. What a fantastic chapter. It felt a lot like an Enies Lobby fight, with its clever tricks and new powers that don’t fully make sense coming out of nowhere, but you excuse it because they’re just so freaking cool. Brook gets sold a little…

One Piece chapter 1020 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. It took a while to get to the crew fights for this arc, and a lot of people were worried after Nami’s clash with Ulti underperformed, but I think it’s safe to say after these past three chapters that it was overall worth the…

One Piece chapter 1019 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re about halfway through volume 101 now and Oda definitely seems to be using this book to wrap up the crew battles and leave only the final round against Kaido for 102. The end is close. And man, people complain about fights being so…

One Piece chapter 1018 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was another really impressive chapter that did a lot to move the story forward. The end of the battle is getting closer. Which fight will be the next one to conclude? The coverI don’t usually comment on the regular cover pages, but this…

One Piece chapter 1017 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I thought this was a really eventful chapter, right when 1016 got me thinking the pace would slow again. The climax of this battle is close, and Oda seems to be stepping on the gas with battle updates and hybrid reveals. Tama’s orderSeeing Tama…

One Piece chapter 1016 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This chapter steps on the brakes a little compared to the last two. It figures we couldn’t keep up that kind of pacing forever, but it still obviously feels like a step back. On the other hand, the official end of a main one…

One Piece chapter 1015 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, Oda’s really been knocking it out of the park the past few chapters. They’ve all felt like they have so much going on at once. There have certainly been parts of Onigashima where it felt like the plot was moving forward in inches…

One Piece chapter 1014 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Here, it is, the (extremely probable) end of volume 100. And what a note to end on. Due to the surprise element of the raid, their enemies underestimating them and just because they’re far stronger than some fans gave them credit for, the alliance…
