We’re deep into the action of Dressrosa now. There’s much to talk about, so let’s not waste any time. We’ll start with Kin’emon and Kanjuro. Kin’emon’s primary reason for wanting to come to Dressrosa is to find Kanjuro, his samurai companion that he got separated from after something happened. This has been his sole reason … Continue reading One Piece Volume 76

One Piece Volume 75
With Sugar being down and out for the count, it seems like the tide might finally turn on Dressrosa. Not just Robin, but all the people - and wild animals - that have been turned into toys over the past ten years have suddenly reverted to their normal state. On top of that, everyone’s memories … Continue reading One Piece Volume 75
One Piece Volume 74
We’re now well into the middle of Dressrosa and that explains why this volume is so thick. It feels bigger than most of the other volumes in this box and a lot happens, so strap in. Just like with the last volume, let’s go through each important story separately instead of getting too focused on … Continue reading One Piece Volume 74
One Piece Volume 73
Things are escalating fast and on all different parts of the island. But if we want to summarize things, we have five stories that are happening all at once and even mingling at times. Let’s talk about each of them. The first story is the one of Sanji, Nami and the others who are still … Continue reading One Piece Volume 73
One Piece Volume 72
Last week we introduced a whole new colorful cast with all the participants in Doflamingo’s big coliseum. And let’s not forget what’s on the line: The Mera Mera no Mi. Ace’s old devil fruit grew somewhere and then Doflamingo got his hands on it. Luffy of course doesn’t want this fruit to go to the … Continue reading One Piece Volume 72
One Piece Volume 71
Ladies, gentlemen and others, welcome to the coliseum. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the amount of named and important characters in One Piece then hold on to your seatbelts as we’re about to ramp things up to eleven. Although both Fishman Island and Punk Hazard are part of the New World in One Piece, … Continue reading One Piece Volume 71
Entering the New World (One Piece Fishman Island/Punk Hazard recap)
Out with the old and in with the new. After our crew suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Sentomaru, Kizaru and Kuma, they were spread out across the world. We only learn later on that Kuma spread out the crew to save them from certain defeat, but at the time it seemed like … Continue reading Entering the New World (One Piece Fishman Island/Punk Hazard recap)
One Piece Volume 70
It’s the final volume of the third box set and also the final volume of the Punk Hazard arc. Both Punk Hazard and its predecessor Fishman Island are pretty low on my arc tier list, but the upcoming arcs - long as they may be - will be a lot more interesting I think. But … Continue reading One Piece Volume 70
One Piece Volume 69 (Nice)
The shenanigans continue in volume 69. Nice. Caesar and Vergo quickly realize that the Straw Hats and cohort have escaped from their cage and start working on taking them out again. I love the scene where Brook, Kin and Zoro slice up Caesar’s cronies and they go “it’s cold” “it burns” and for Zoro they … Continue reading One Piece Volume 69 (Nice)
One Piece Volume 68
We end the from the decks of the world cover story arc in this volume. Although it was a fun little substory which showed us where many of the people we met throughout the years were at, there wasn’t much happening in them. It did end on a bit of a sad note of course, … Continue reading One Piece Volume 68
