One Piece chapter 1178 review
Rather than committing to the big battle that the last chapter promised, Oda switches gears into a setup mode disguised as a cooldown mode. He even has Sanji lampshade how abruptly things seem to be ending. But the next stage, whatever it’s going to be, isn’t the obvious thing. Should have known Oda wouldn’t be…

One Piece chapter 1177 review
I think we’ve reached the end of volume 115 with this one. I had kinda hoped the end-of-book cliffhanger for this one would be the turn for the worse that kicks off the secret final stage of the battle (come on, Reversi Loki), but it’s much more in Oda’s style to call it on this…

Green Bone Saga review
Jade is the lifeblood of Kekon, a gemstone that can give a warrior supernatural speed, strength and perception. Its mining and distribution are controlled by two clans locked in a vicious turf war over the nation’s capital city of Janloon. But the superpower nations of the world are starting to realise the potential of Jade…

One Piece chapter 1176 review
I came into this one expecting the turning point and have instead come out with mixed feelings. Oda is doubling down on the feeling that we’ve reached the climax by giving the heroes victorious moments and the villains losses. Meanwhile the rules of Domi Reversi only get murkier. The colour pages initially confused me –…

One Piece chapter 1175 review
With this chapter the arc is at a turning point. The Strawhats’ turnaround of the situation is feeling close to complete and major villains are being downed effortlessly. Within the next couple of weeks we should be able to see if the arc is wrapping up here, or if there’s another leg to the battle.…

One Piece chapter 1174 review
That certainly was an entrance worth waiting for. But for all the hype, I’m a little confused about where Oda plans to take this arc’s finale. Things seem a little too set in the heroes’ favour, so I’ve been expecting a reversal from the God Knights to set the final stage of the battle. But…

One Piece chapter 1173 review
The recap is done and the action is moving! Still no Luffy and Loki though. If we were any closer to the end of the volume I might guess that Oda’s saving them for that final page, but three chapters (minimum) is a long time for a guy who was so confident he could casually…

One Piece chapter 1172 review
I think it’s a little funny that we finally see Luffy again after seven months then immediately go to a chapter without him. I can live with a little bit of a recap chapter after such a long break. It’s a necessary evil for the casual readers, and at least it comes with some nice…

One Piece chapter 1171 review
Well I’m glad to be back in the present and playing with Luffy again, but as flashback endings go, this one wasn’t quite it. When I think of a successful flashback, I think of returning to the present with a new perspective on the relationships and motives of the primary characters, and this sequence was…

One Piece chapter 1170 review
Back again, and we get the climax of the flashback to start off the new year. My hope is that we’ll be back in the present at the end of the next chapter, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it takes until the one after. The cover page is a cute one. An eel train…
