One Piece chapter 1133 review
Man, I don’t even want to go deep and analytical with this one. It’s just nice, you know. It’s an incredibly sweet thing that’s happened for a character that deserves it all and more. The perfect thing to follow the relentless darkness of Kuma’s story and the loss of Vegapunk in the last arc. Yes,…

One Piece chapter 1132 review
What a weird month and a bit it’s been. The double two-week breaks with a single chapter in the middle was weirdly discombobulating, making it feel like it’s been longer than it really has since the last chapter. I feel bad for Oda, falling ill right after the research break, when he seemed like he…

One Piece chapter 1131 review
Back after two weeks for the Elbaph kick-off, let’s go! The mythology and characters of the island continue to slowly build and offer possibilities of what could be coming without committing the story too hard in any one direction. It’s still way too soon to make any definitive statements about where Elbaph is going and…

The Great Big Egghead Review
Over about a week, I reread the whole Egghead arc, start to end, going about a volume at a time. I’m going to be very curious to see the blind reactions from people who catch up from this point on and experience the whole thing blind, because it is so hard to believe this is…

One Piece chapter 1130 review
What a place to leave off before a two week break. As expected, we have actually arrived in Elbaph and man, the art is worth the years of build-up. This is also the ninth chapter of volume 111, making it the book’s first possible stopping point. It would be a short volume, with a number…

One Piece chapter 1129 review
The mini mystery of the last couple of chapters will be a footnote in One Piece’s run – likely to be resolved in a matter of minutes by all future readers as the answer isn’t even going to be broken up between volumes – but it’s a great show of Oda’s willingness to keep arcs…

One Piece chapter 1128 review
I’m still editing the full Egghead review I pitched after the last chapter. I ended up having a lot of thoughts and real life has been busy, but it’s coming. Meanwhile, we’ve got a packed early arc chapter to play with here. It’s fun to see how everyone was a little right and a little…

One Piece chapter 1127 review
New arc is a go… but things aren’t feeling quite right here. I’m not usually one to get on board with conspiracy theories – sometimes a weird detail is just something Oda threw in because he thought it would be fun or funny, not the key to unraveling the plot; sometimes an inconsistency is legitimately…

One Piece chapter 1126 review
After like four more chapters of Egghead loose ends than expected, I think we can finally call the transition to an Elbaf arc complete. But we still spend most of the chapter on things that follow up past arcs. Shanks has been waiting to check Barto off his to-do list since Wano, the Blackbeard sections…

One Piece chapter 1125 review
One Piece arcs have slow and bloated midsections that can be difficult to sit through week to week. This is nothing new; we’ve been doing this dance since Skypiea. But it’s the endings, the post-arc lore bombs like this, that make it all worthwhile. Now, I don’t want to toot my own horn too much,…
