The bright orange filter didn't keep Usopp off the spine of volume 76.

I wonder if Oda will sneak the Kaido body back in for the alternate dust jacket under the cover (along with the obligatory hidden pandaman). He's showed off rejected cover ideas in that space before....

Beat me to the explanation :ninja:

Basically the whole thing looks like a translation nightmare. It fails from the outset because few western readers are going to recognise the translated title of...

A shame to see Kaido get cut between the sketch and this version. Sure, he made a busy cover even busier, but the incredible art of his dragon form was a highlight of every other chapter of the...

With chapter 1000 falling squarely in the middle of the volume, I don't think it'll get as much fanfare as it did in the magazine. It'll be mentioned on the ads and there'll definitely be the logos...

Thanks for sharing, that's definitely the best one I've seen. Props to the artist.

I think making the whole sky black darkens the image a little too much but I certainly couldn't do any better.

Chapter 1000 was great, and the start of the Kaido and Big Mom fight is unquestionably a momentous event, but there was, in hindsight, a feeling that the chapter wasn't completely for us, the...

Villains for 99, then a really triumphant heroes one for the big 100 feels like a safe bet.

I said it in the volume thread and I'll say it here, the only only other time we had a truly joined set of covers (21 and 22), they were obviously planned and designed to be that from the start, then...

I really like the original one conceptually, with Kaido's body snaking past twice, breaking up the scene. The poses are definitely better in the final version though.

I'd love to see another...

Luffy, Yamato, all the Scabbards and dragon form Kaido. I'm gonna call that a win, predictions-wise. You can even see Oda considering the bit with Luffy and Yamato running side by side through the...

Thanks for sharing :laughing:

The swirly book stand was actually a coincidence. It was just the only one I could find when I was getting things set up, but it definitely turned out to be a good...

Something exciting arrived in the mail this morning! Even with the other pictures floating around online, It hadn't sunk in for me how big the combined colour spread actually was. Wow! Gonna look at...

Oh yeah, I'm keeping in mind that the play doesn't have to be and may not ever have been intended to read as a five act show, but I really enjoyed the idea regardless. It's a great thematic fit for...

Tumblr user Kaizokuou-ni-Naru has delivered an excellent take on the play theme and act structure of Wano that I'm just going to quote verbatim because there's nothing I have to add to it. (her blog...

While there's a lot to say about big companies like Shueisha being out of touch with how their properties are enjoyed (maybe specifically big old Japanese companies, given Nintendo has had similar...

Alabasta as India is an interesting choice. I can see that big plateau city pictured as an inspiration for Alubarna, but so much the whole country. Wonder if the full book will acknowledge the...

Oh wow, that has to be a typo, right? Greg said he tried to balance official release names with fan-accepted names, but I don't think I've seen anyone anywhere in any version of the manga use that...

New metric for card predictions:

When you open a character's page up to vote for them, characters who've had full cards get a big portrait like this.

It looks like they broke things up with more of a focus on keeping a relatively even amount of time/pages in each block, as well as matching more or less what's in each of the recent box sets. There...

Yamato will doubtless be getting a full card eventually, but I imagine he's in colour and backgroundless here mostly because they just used the art from the Jump cover he was on, which wouldn't have...

The real surprise absence is Oda himself. He's been top 50 in every poll except the first. Hard to say if he'll be able to keep that up without international votes.

Odds are slim to none and I'd be upset if they tried. Every previous set of poll results has been included with the next volume after they were completed and not a single one of them has added...

Oh yeah. And I've noticed since my last post we've got Inuarashi and Nekomamushi as well, which was probably the name issue least in need of a fix but still cool.

Anyone else notice Stephen's suggested translations for the pun names of bit part characters like the Impel Down prisoners and background Marines named in various databooks being used on the English...

The online vote options for the big worldwide poll seem to be based on the same list of characters for the Vivre Cards, although the order doesn't seem to be exactly the same as the Vivre Card...

Chapter 1000. Wow. I don't think there's likely to be another manga with the ambition to make it this far anytime soon, and I doubt there'll be another that catches my attention the same way. It's no...

These all look spectacular and I would love to have them. Unfortunately, both the #3-4 and #5-6 issues of Jump have sold out basically immediately on CDJapan. Does anyone have any other Japanese...

The choice to say "New starter set" instead of "starter set vol 3" makes me worry it'll end up being half Wano-disguise Strawhats to go with the Luffy-taro and Zoro-juro cards.

Still very...
