    Welcome to the One Piece at a Time Podcast where I'm joined by Brandon Bovia to read and discuss 5 chapters of the One Piece manga every week. The look back at the utterly wild events of the Reverie is nearly at an end. But before Oda returns to Egghead, he has more to show in regards to the events of Lulusia, the fallout across the world, and the attempted rescue of Koby from Fullalead Island.

    Episode 234: Chapters 1076-1080

    Welcome to the One Piece at a Time Podcast where I'm joined by Brandon Bovia to read and discuss 5 chapters of the One Piece manga every week. The scope of Egghead is so much grander than I ever could have imagined as not only are the Straw Hats dealing with the assault on the island, but other crews are going through their own trials as well. And two figures begin fights for the very first time. That's certainly worth discussing as we cover Chapters 1076-1080 of One Piece!Preorder my book "A Communal History of Metroidvania Video Games!" https://www.lostincult.co.uk/metroidvaniaSupport the One Piece at a Time Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/DerrickBitnerCheck out more from Brandon Bovia! https://bsky.app/profile/brandonbovia.bsky.social

    Welcome to the One Piece at a Time Podcast where I'm joined by Brandon Bovia to read and discuss 5 chapters of the One Piece manga every week. After such a long build-up, it's time to meet the proper Dr. Vegapunk. And his knowledge goes so far beyond anything I ever expected culminating in a pace that feels breakneck. But does that in itself make for poor pacing or is it a sign of the stakes now that we've entered the so-called Final Saga? We chat about it all as we cover Chapters 1066-1070 of One Piece!

    Welcome to the One Piece at a Time Podcast where I'm joined by Brandon Bovia to read and discuss 5 chapters of the One Piece manga every week. And we have reached the most recent One Piece Movie as of today. It's something far different too, opting for a character with a distinct connection to Luffy, multiple musical numbers, and a story unafraid to go to its logical end. Even days later it's not left my mind meaning there's a lot chat about as we cover One Piece Film: Red!Preorder my book "A Communal History of Metroidvania Video Games!" https://www.lostincult.co.uk/metroidvaniaSupport the One Piece at a Time Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/DerrickBitnerCheck out more from Brandon Bovia! https://bsky.app/profile/brandonbovia.bsky.social

And Wano has finally concluded but that just means even more of a return to the wider world as warm goodbyes turn into hilarious realizations. But not everything can be funny as a demonstration by the Five Elders might be the most chilling thing in the story to date.

And with both Luffy and Kaido pushed to their limit, it's time to bring this battle to a close.

And it's time for the climatic fights for both Sanji and Zoro, both of which have so many great character beats. As for the battles themselves? Well, that may take a bit more analyzing.
