One Piece Chapter 1048 Review: Kaido is Burning

Voice of One Piece: Consequences Building Over 20 Years

Luffy charging up the punch one again, Orochi still alive once again, people hoping for Luffy to win once again, getting the same flashback where we know what happened once again… Oda really treating his fans like fools just for some spectacle on chapter 1050 it seems.

One Piece used to be an enjoyable weekly experience as every chapter used to progress the story, but now almost nothing as progressed plot-wise in around 5 chapters besides some character running and Luffy fighting Kaido a lot more.

Sure, Kaido looks cool in this move and Luffy is trying some new stuff, but this could have been done around two chapters ago, but now we’re ending the an overused cliffhanger with another cliffhanger. This isn’t interesting at all, and ruins the weekly reading experience.

Denjiro cuts up Orochi at the end of the chapter, so let’s hope that’s really the end of him, is that like the fourth time he’s been killed now or something? He didn’t even really do much after being killed the first time so it just takes away from how interesting it…
