One Piece chapter 1001 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Chapter 1000 was great, and the start of the Kaido and Big Mom fight is unquestionably a momentous event, but there was, in hindsight, a feeling that the chapter wasn’t completely for us, the up-to-date dedicated readers. Oda chose to restate important themes and…

One Piece chapter 1000 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Chapter 1000. Wow. I don’t think there’s likely to be another manga with the ambition to make it this far anytime soon, and I doubt there’ll be another that catches my attention the same way. It’s no exaggeration to say One Piece has to…

One Piece chapter 999 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Here we are. Final chapter of triple digits. Next chapter, I find out of the filenaming scheme for my offline archive holds up to the new digit, or if I’ll have to go back and add an extra 0 in front of every previous…

One Piece chapter 998 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Pretty light chapter this week, albeit one with incredible art. It was easy to expect Marco to be a deus ex machina for the ice oni plot, bring a fire doctor dealing with an ice virus, but thankfully he’s just being used to add…

One Piece chapter 997 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Ugh, Sanji, Sanji, Sanji. I want to hope we’re not about to get another Kalifa situation, but this first scene was not promising. There’s a spot of hope if Oda wants to turn the idea of him throwing away his pride to use the…

One Piece chapter 996 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Hey, Oda’s finally given us an interior map of Onigashima! Kind of! I think we’re not going to know the exact floorplan of the left and right brain towers for a while, if ever, but at least we know what to look for on…

One Piece chapter 995 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Big Mom VS Marco is going to look stunning in colour with the red and blue flames cascading away from each other. Even though it’s a short clash, you’re doing something right if you’ve managed to invoke the end of ATLA. We’re at a…

One Piece chapter 993-994 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 993’s release. I think we were offline for two chapters’ worth of discussion, so I’ll quickly throw notes down on both. We’re at the end of volume 98…

One Piece chapter 992 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Great chapter to come back on after a long two weeks off (though that’s still a small price to pay for Oda’s health). Interesting choice to put Yamato on the Jump cover. He’s technically an important figure, but he’s not doing much of note at the…

One Piece chapter 991 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Nine chapters to the big quadruple digits, and Oda working hard to get there this year as well! I hope he makes it! Okay, cover story, cathartic tears for the big reunion. Now can we move on to a little actual lore/story to close…
