One Piece chapter 1056 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Wano and the pirate alliance both really are ending, huh? It’s truly an era of One Piece wrapping up before our eyes, and what an era it’s been. This chapter finally takes us back to the Germa cover story, after close to two months…

One Piece chapter 1055 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. It’s weird to think that this is the third colour spread we’ve gotten in a row, and the second of that group to just be a promo for a spinoff project. Having the spread just be Oda’s Film Red poster that was revealed at…

One Piece chapter 1054 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Oh man, I’ve been waiting for this. I thought the month hadn’t been that long up until I started seeing evidence of spoilers floating around, then I realised how hungry I really was for more of this story. A colour spread for the return from the…

One Piece chapter 1053 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. I’m glad we get at least one chapter of proper post-arc before the break. It’s so refreshing to be back in this phase of Oda’s story structure and I’m glad to know there’s more of One Piece’s best on the horizon. I had the…

One Piece chapter 1052 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Okay, we’re officially in the postarc! We made it, no more room for doubts! I’m glad to be here, but it’s hard to keep the break and final saga announcements from overshadowing this milestone and sowing concern that the long-awaited lore dump will be…

One Piece chapter 1051 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. This week we continue out post-battle wind-down with the necessary crowning of the shogun and conclusion of Momo’s decade-long character arc from the scared and starving child who ate a devil fruit accidentally in an attempt to steal food on Punk Hazard to a…

One Piece chapter 1050 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. And it’s done. For real this time with no doubt remaining. While this still isn’t the best of Luffy’s finishers or Oda’s arc climaxes, I believe in choosing ‘done’ over ‘perfect’ and would rather be looking forward to seeing how the next arc builds…

One Piece chapter 1049 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. It’s over! Oh god, it’s finally over! I’m plugging my fingers in my ears and refusing to hear any speculation to the contrary. Kaido’s down. The battle is over. The conflict resolved. Act three has had some tremendous highs and muddled itself into some…

One Piece chapter 1048 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. Back again for what feels very, very much like the penultimate chapter of Luffy and Kaido’s exhausting battle, moving all the pieces to their final destinations and reminding everyone of the emotional stakes. But first there’s the cover story, which suggests but does not…

One Piece chapter 1047 review
This text was originally written for Arlong Park forums’ discussion thread. We’re back with a gorgeous, summery colour spread. Wish I could be there, but it’s only getting older where I am. I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole spread grew from Oda wanting to experiment with those palm frond shadows, but I think the…
