One Piece Chapter 1002 Review/Recap

For those of you who enjoy One Piece for the sheer amount of action that it has, then you’re going to love this chapter. It’s nothing but action and fight scenes in what could end up being the most epic fights in shonen history. On one side, we have the Yonko, Kaido and Big Mom. Their opponents, from the New Generation of Pirates: Luffy, Zoro, Killer, Kid, and Law! Can our underdogs take down the monstrous Yonko before they destroy Wano? I don’t know, but I’m going to love seeing this!

Recap

It’s a clash of demi-gods as the seven pirates fight throw everything they have at each other. One after another, the New Generation of Supernovas unload their strongest attacks on Kaido. And the scariest thing is the fact that it’s working. Kaido’s starting to feel the hurt!

Just as it looks like Kaido’s starting to feel the pressure, Big Mom charges in and shocks Killer with Zeus, giving Kaido the chance to counterattack. To end the fight for good, Zoro charges in with Oden’s sword, Enma, and prepares to end Kaido. He misses, but this was the result!

Caught off guard, the Supernovas are left helpless as Big Mom calls on her lightning to take them all out. The only one left standing is Luffy thanks to his immunity to lightning. And when Kaido tries to obliterate him, Luffy powers on through sheer will to deliver a punishing blow to Kaido!

Review

When the anime comes out for this fight, I’m going to watch every second of it. This probably the best fight that One Piece has seen in years! Pure epicness, just like it should be! First, the fact that Zoro cut through one of the horns of Onigashima with Enma! The only other people who could do that would be Mihawk and Oden Kozuki; it’s amazing! Then there’s the fact that Big Mom warned Kaido to dodge his attack, and how afraid the Yonko was of Oden’s aura coming from Enma. If what they’re saying is true, had Zoro not missed, that attack could’ve brought Kaido down for good.

However, while the Yonko seem to be on the backfoot, I know it’s not that easy. The two Emperor’s are only now starting to take things seriously. Once they go all out, then the New Generation will have to fight tooth and nail to win. Then there’s Luffy himself. His Gear Fourth is strong, but he can’t maintain it for long. And when it wears off, he can’t move for several minutes. Either Luffy needs to fix this problem, or wear the enemy down enough give them the advantage.

No matter how you slice it, this fight’s only getting started. By my guess, this is going to take several months to fully resolve, but I’d expect nothing less. Oda knows how this is one of the most important arcs in One Piece history, so it needs an epic climax.

Overall, this chapter was short, but filled to the brim with action. I loved it! Can’t wait for the anime!

I Give “Emperors vs. The New Generation” A 4/5

One Piece Chapter 1001 Review/Recap

You know what I love about the Shonen genre? When they feature fights that are so awesome that you can’t help but get pumped up just from watching them. The feeling of excitement, the hair on the back of your neck standing on end, the desire to see the heroes win. It’s just so much fun! Why am I saying this now, though? Because the Supernovas and Yonko are about to take part in what may end up being one of the biggest fights in One Piece history and we’ve got front row seats! LET’S GET IT ON, PEOPLE!!

Recap

Picking up right where we left off, everybody’s completely floored at what just happened: Luffy managed to knock down Kaido. Kaido himself is left in complete disbelief and wondering he could get so strong after beating him in Kuri. However, once he gets over the initial shock, Kaido gets pumped at the prospect of a true challenge

As Kaido launches his counterattack, Big Mom joins the fray, siccing Prometheus on Luffy. However, she’s shocked when Zoro manages to cut right through the sun homie!

A fierce battle soon erupts as both Yonko and Supernovas bring their full power to bare against each other. It’s a battle between monsters with neither side holding back!

As the Supernovas finish unloading their attacks on the Yonko, Big Mom and Kaido begin to laugh. It’s been so long since they faced a true challenge, so they happily respond in kind. Both sides steel themselves, understanding how high the stakes are. Whoever wins this battle will be one step closer to finding One Piece and becoming King of the Pirates.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Review

HOLY TOLEDO, THIS IS EPIC, ODA!!! I’ve seen a lot of great fights in One Piece before, but this? This looks like it may end up being one of the all-time best. I’m talking Goku vs. Vegeta levels of fighting. Maybe Goku vs. Frieza, if I’m being honest.

Why am I so pumped up for this, though? Well, besides the fact that we can see the next generation put the Yonko in their place, I knew that this was going to happen. Kaido should’ve killed Luffy when he had the chance, because he’s not going to get another one. Luffy’s going to kick him and Big Mom’s butts!

We don’t know how this fight will turn out, though. For all the epic moves, this was just a warm-up for both sides. Next chapter will see the Yonko get serious, meaning that this will be an uphill battle for the heroes. I’m not worried, though; the Supernova’s have got this.

I know it stinks that we have to wait another two weeks for the next chapter, but keep in mind, Eichiro Oda’s only human. With the way things are in the world, he needs to look after his health. In addition, if this helps make the fight even more awesome, then I won’t complain.

I Give “The Battle of Monster on Onigashima” a 5/5
