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…

One Piece chapter 953 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I really liked this chapter. Kawamatsu’s been a low key favourite ever since his reveal and I really liked Gyukimaru’s design from the start, so getting such a sweet story for the two of them was a treat. No idea where this leaves volume…

One Piece chapter 952 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Yeah, this was a fairly transitional chapter, which surprised me, given that I was expecting the end of volume 94. We’re getting an 11 chapter volume then, I guess. There’s not much here to discuss since it’s all cooldown and groundwork. Love that Kawamatsu…

One Piece chapter 951 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was a great chapter that got a lot out of the way really quick. We’re nearly at the end of volume 94 here, with the next chapter likely being the last one, so it’s going to be interesting to see what Oda does…

One Piece chapter 950 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Chiffon wanting to find Lola is a pretty logical for her as a character, but Lola was last seen heading the opposite way down the Grand Line, right? Going past Water Seven? So yeah, I don’t think that’s going to work out and the…
