I received the following letter:“Oda Sensei, you’re such a weird, irresponsible person. Just to be clear, I’m always writing silly things in my comments these days, but in my youth there was a boy who was always being praised by all the adults in the neighborhood. He was a genius when it came to schoolwork … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 30

One Piece – Volume 29
Most One Piece volumes are pretty similar in size and don’t take all that long to read. Probably less than half an hour on average. Volume 29 is a hefty one. Let’s not waste time and let’s jump right into it. We can summarize the first couple chapters pretty easily. Robin defeats Yama, the leader … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 29
One Piece – Volume 28
Where last volume we were bombarded with lore and worldbuilding, this volume we spend most of our time with fights and scraps in and around the island. I’m guessing this recap will end up being a lot shorter than some of the others, but that’s fine too. Wapol’s mini-arc gets completed in this volume by … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 28
One Piece Volume 26
Wapol and having to quickly get away from danger, name a more iconic duo. Hello everyone, we’re talking about Volume 26 of One Piece today and I figured I’d start with the cover stories for a change. Most of the time I keep them until the end of a post, or I forget about them. … Continue reading One Piece Volume 26
One Piece Volume 25
We’re now 25 volumes into the story and we’ve firmly made it into the 21st century. This volume came out in 2002 even, but I’m confident the chapters were earlier. This volume is a great combination of funny chapters, action panels and an unholy amount of new lore. So without wasting time, let’s get right … Continue reading One Piece Volume 25
Netflix’s One Piece
Man oh man, did I think I was going to just pretend this wasn’t happening. But unfortunately we live in a world where a One Piece live action is happening and there’s nothing we can do about it. Live action adaptations of anime have a pretty bad track record, I personally can’t think of a … Continue reading Netflix’s One Piece
One Piece – Volume 24
‘When I visited my family recently, my parents expressed an opinion about One Piece for the first time. “That story about the deer was really good.” DEER?’- Oda in 2002 The latest few chapters in One Piece have been absolutely crazy. I feel like every Sunday I’m having to brace myself for what is coming … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 24
Baroque Works Recap
Baroque is a French word and it refers to a style of architecture, music, painting, sculptures and other artforms that were around in early 17th century Europe. Now I looked through the Wikipedia article for this for a little bit and I have to admit I’m not smart enough to see a connection between the … Continue reading Baroque Works Recap
One Piece – Volume 23
The final volume of the first box set and the conclusion of the second major saga: Baroque Works. We’re speeding through this, but there’s so much more amazing content on the horizon that I don’t really mind. Besides, at this rate it’s still going to take until 2025 before we even get to the volumes … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 23
One Piece – Volume 22
Somehow both so much and so little happens in this volume. We move the story forward only a little bit in time, and we’re paying attention to the countdown towards disaster, but everything that happens, happens in maybe thirty minutes or less. This is the second to last volume in the Baroque Works Saga and … Continue reading One Piece – Volume 22
