One Piece chapter 1148 review
Highs and lows this week with a great scene for Robin but the regeneration problem seeming to be solved in the least interesting way. There’s still time to right the ship on that second one, but we’ll get there when we get there. The Holy Knights are moving around pretty quickly between chapters here, Gunko…

One Piece chapter 1147 review
On my first quick readthrough, I thought this looked like a bit of a bridging chapter, but rereading and taking down notes scene by scene I found a pretty decent amount of meat on its bones. Not much new in the cover story, except in the background, is that a random samurai claiming Who’s Who’s…

One Piece chapter 1146 review
Whew, I’d really hoped to get through this before the next chapter’s spoilers dropped, but life just gets in the way sometimes. Hoping to be back to a degree of normalcy next week. Good to have One Piece back from its break in this busy time though, and I’m happy to be getting (at least…

One Piece chapter 1145 review
Oh, I’m surprised the anime colour spread gets to be included in the official release as a part of the chapter. When I heard it wasn’t drawn by Oda and the chapter had a normal cover anyway, I figured it was just colour pages for the magazine. Wonder if it’ll keep its place in the…

One Piece chapter 1144 review
Yeah, I think this is the end of volume 112. Oda has lately favoured rallying moments and bits of intrigue over dire and desperate cliffhangers for recent volume endings, so Dorry, Brogy and Scopper leaping into the fray is the perfect moment to cut things and leave readers excited to see what’s coming next. That…

One Piece chapter 1143 review
Conflict is continuing to build on Elbaph, but this chapter doesn’t achieve quite the same momentum as the last few. It is, however, the tenth of volume 112, so we’re likely to see some big stuff next week or the week after to close out the book. Technically it could end here, but that last…

One Piece chapter 1142 review
Oda shows no sign of hitting the breaks on Elbaph this week. It’s amazing how different his storytelling feels for this arc and Egghead compared to the bloat of Wano. Whether it’s a second wind from reaching the final saga, a response to feedback or personal feelings about how Wano turned out, or fear that…

One Piece chapter 1141 review
Man, things are moving in this arc! I expected at least another chapter of transition and chapter before Luffy and Zoro even reached Loki, let alone freed him, but Oda’s wasting no time at all on this one. And we’re still in volume 112, with at least two chapters of it to go. This book…

One Piece chapter 1140 review and analysis
Oda is such a tease. Let there be no fear that the series is wrapping up anytime soon. Despite a hugely memorable entrance Shamrock seems to be ducking out to save his boss status for later, and even Scopper hints that he plans to sit things out and not reveal anything he has to say…

One Piece chapter 1139 review and analysis
It’s definitely not the blockbuster that the last two chapters were, but the rollercoaster had to peak somewhere, and I don’t think there’s many who’d complain about getting a Scopper Gaban reveal. Even with a shorter pagecount and break week to really make things feel like old times. I’m on record somewhere on the internet…
