One Piece chapter 949 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I was surprised to see another Udon chapter at first, but it all made sense by the end. It’s felt a little slow week by week, but I think the volume reread will show this was just the right place to end it. Wano…

One Piece chapter 948 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. A little bit of a slow chapter, mostly building up to the “pose as a team” shot at the end rather than taking any huge strides forward, but it was a lot of fun regardless. I was sure we’d cut away from the prison…

One Piece chapter 947 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I gotta say, I really love stories that reach this point we’re currently at, where there’s so many balls in the air the story becomes impossible to predict just by virtue of there being so many different characters and factions that could step into…

One Piece chapter 946 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Man, volume 94 is going to be nonstop action, isn’t it? I imagine it’ll be remembered as one of the best if it keeps up this kind of pacing. With the last chapter, I was wondering how Oda would untangle the knot of characters…

One Piece chapter 945 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Interesting that the official app presents the Stampede poster upright. I figured it would be shown horizontally, as a colour spread, like the ones for chapters 817 and 843. The difference is of course just one page in the official page count, but it’d…

One Piece chapter 944 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was definitely the chapter I’ve been waiting for. After all these weeks, build-up becomes action, and it doesn’t fail to impress. I’m sure there are some out there who are disappointed there wasn’t more onscreen clashing between Sanji and Drake and Zoro and…

One Piece chapter 943 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. The hype ending panel could make this the twelfth and final chapter of volume 93 (especially possible because it has a four month gap after the last volume instead of the usual three) but the heavy exposition throughout leads me to think this is the start…

One Piece chapter 942 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Wow, what a chapter this turned out to be. I think we can safely call this the finale of volume 93, then? It has to be acknowledged at this point that Oda’s attitude towards death has shifted. I don’t see any satisfying way for Yasu to…

One Piece chapter 941 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This chapter marks the first possible end point for volume 93, and the last pages do give us a hell of a revelation/cliffhanger to go out on, but it’s never safe to call these things until we’ve seen the hypothetical 12th chapter. Just due…

One Piece chapter 940 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This was yet another build-up chapter, but it was a far more effective one than the last few weeks. Lots of new stuff came up to consider. First up, I loved Usopp and Nami having some time to just chill. I think their friendship…
