One Piece chapter 1012 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was a fun chapter, even if it felt like a little bit of a transitional one. We’re in the home stretch of volume 100 after this, so I’m expecting to see some real amping up in the next two chapters. Kiku and Izo’s…

One Piece chapter 1011 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. When I heard there would be poll results with this chapter I expected the usual top whatever colour spread to go with it, but it’s not the full results yet, and it’s just a normal spread. Franky’s Mr Whippy hair is a blessed detail.…

One Piece chapter 1010 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This is a hell of chapter with some big hype behind it. Everyone here mainly for the fights is eating well. I had a great time reading it, but there were two little things that didn’t sit spectacularly with me. But I wanna get…

One Piece chapter 1009 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Cute, classic-feeling colour spread with the whole crew together. Presumably, from the architecture, the trees and the very Japanese statues, this one’s taking place in Ringo. I feel like it’s fairly rare to be able to suscribe a colour spread theme to a specifc…

One Piece chapter 1008 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I’m glad the Oden thing got wrapped up right away. Still felt like it was drawn out too long, purely by virtue of coinciding with a break, but I think the answer was about as good as could have been hoped for. Having Hyori…

One Piece chapter 1007 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This chapter feels like half of a really good chapter and half of a really meh one. Chopper’s big moment and the talk about Punk Hazard and the artificial fruit were great, but the opening pages feel like they’re going around in circles, building…

One Piece chapter 1006 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. A full villains colour spread isn’t something we’ve had in a looooong time. You might even be able to say it’s unprecedented. The Warlords spread for chapter 532 wasn’t technically all villains, and the Baroque Works one all the way back in chapter 160…

One Piece chapter 1005 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I’ve said more than enough about Sanji’s current direction already, and I can’t be bothered going over it all again. Bottom line is I just really don’t vibe with what Oda’s been doing with him. I’m sure for people who are on board with…

One Piece chapter 1004 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. If this turns out to be the final chapter of volume 99, it’s a pretty underwhelming note to end on after the extremely artistically impressive and exciting rooftop showdown. If it wouldn’t have made the book too short, I would have said the last…

One Piece chapter 1002-1003 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. These two chapters were reviewed together because the forum was offline on the week of chapter 1002’s release. I wouldn’t say I’m here for the fights (it’s absolutely a worldbuilding/long term narrative thing for me) but I’m really enjoying the clashes with Kaido. The…
