I was rereading One Piece when I noticed how Crocodile talks about Whitebeard. In Impel Down, Crocodile says there were an endless number of pirates who lost to Whitebeard and could never become number one, so they hate Whitebeard. In the cover stories Crocodile has a chance to escape from prison but decides not to. […] More
The Red Hair Pirates are the first pirate crew to appear in the manga series and second to appear (next to the Alvida Pirates) in the animated series One Piece. They are the main influences of both Luffy’s (Shanks inspired Luffy) and Usopp’s (wants to become a brave warrior of the sea like his father […] More

I’ve read so many comments about this “big punch” that Luffy’s using to clash with Kaido, saying that it cannot be the one to end the fight, or that it would be disappointing if it did because Oda said it shouldn’t. I kinda disagree, and for me to explain why, we need to go back […] More
With the recent events taking place it’s pretty obvious that we are nearing the end of Wano. So instead of making yet another post about how I think Wano will end I wanted to use this opportunity to talk about what the future of One Piece hold. I will make my predictions based on a couple of statements […] More
In the beginning of the manga, Luffy claimed that he wanted at least ten people to join his crew before entering the Grand Line (not counting himself). Though most adventures in One Piece are random, there seems to be a ‘process’ for recruitment: First, a situation arises where someone new is needed. The crew comes […] More
Shanks and Teach have, as of volume 96, appeared on five volume covers each. They also happen to be the same five volumes: 25, 45, 59, 95, and 96. So Shanks and Teach have always appeared together on the five volume covers they’re each featured in. One has never appeared on a cover without the other, and I doubt that’s […] More
Luffy’s fist looked much smaller compared to Kaido in Chapter 1048 than it did in Chapter 1047. I thought Oda might’ve nerfed the size of it a bit, but nope. If you look closely, the real Kaido is inside his new form Kaen Daiko. Kaido breathes a large amount of flames from his mouth, forming […] More
First and foremost we’ve got to remind ourselves that the point of this arc (and saga) is to establish Luffy and co. as formidable pirates with Luffy perhaps even surpassing the Yonko title to become a “Great Pirate”. But more or equally as important, it’s meant to be the beginning of the end. In the […] More

On the roof, the battle between Luffy and Kaidou continues. Inside the castle, Usopp tries to keep Kin’emon and Kikunojo from drowning and the other samurai cheer for Luffy to defeat Kaidou, with Kawamatsu saying that unless Kaidou is defeated, then their long nightmare won’t end. On the Treasure Repository floor, Orochi, still on fire, […] More
Chapter 1048 is very thematic, it revolves around fire and freedom. From the start, Kaido sets himself on fire and announces that Wano’s hero burned to death. We proceed to a flashback that takes us to the burning castle, the beginning of the slavery, we are shown everything Kaido and Orochi have done to this […] More
I understand why people think this chapter filler-like if you are not enthusiastic about culture. However, I believe Chapter 1048 is much more meaningful to Japanese readers, because it actually elaborates the cultural & historical importance of Japan Fire Festival by using the perspective of Wano background. People pray for bumper harvest, peace and health […] More
