One Piece chapter 990 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. As we count down to the big quadruple digit, it’s worth keeping in mind that other multiple of 100 chapters weren’t always earth-shattering either. They can be things that don’t play into the bigger story, but are long-awaited in their arc, like Luffy landing…

One Piece chapter 989 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Another fantastic chapter. Oda’s killing it well into his second Onigashima volume, and there’s no reason to think this hot streak won’t continue. This cover story has to be going somewhere, right? The huge and extremely aggressive Navy presence might be an indication of…

One Piece chapter 988 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Another week, another new chapter that doesn’t come with the volume 97 cover. If it weren’t for all the breaks, we’d almost have volume 98 complete before it comes out (edit: spoke too soon, it’s finally here). Lucky the chapters are so damn good…

One Piece chapter 987 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, Oda has been on an absolute roll for the past few chapters. Everything from the end of the Oden flashback on has been good, but these past few weeks have been spectacular. It warms my heart to finally see Jinbe hanging out with…

One Piece chapter 986 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Welp, that’s not where I expected the cover story to go. Pretty funny twist, but I’m stilling waiting on the big plot or lore thing that makes it all worthwhile. Lola and Chiffon’s reunion alone doesn’t feel like enough. The handling of Kanjuro so…

One Piece chapter 985 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, this is a strong contender for chapter of the year, and this is the year that started with “Roger’s Adventure,” just going to show much hype there is behind it. I’m gonna put my prediction down that this is the first chapter of…

One Piece chapter 984 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re back again, for what I assume to be the last chapter of volume 97. It makes for a pretty good set of chapters, probably the most consistent Wano volume so far following a long run of setup volumes so dense with worldbuilding and…

One Piece chapter 983 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was a fun little action chapter, wasn’t it? Pound’s reunion with his daughters and their husbands feels like a good way to cap off the adventure portion of this cover story. Next few should start wrapping it up, hopefully with a last minute…

One Piece chapter 982 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was a fun chapter. Things are going well for the alliance, if anything, too well. My mental alarm bells that things are about to start going wrong are ringing, but they’ve been doing that for about half of this volume so far, so…

One Piece chapter 981 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Jump cover! Nice looking, but plain. Interesting that the dragon in the parasol has Kaido’s long shape, but more of Orochi’s colours. Probably doesn’t mean anything, but it’s a thing that’s there. The colour spread has a sick palette with all that neon lighting…
