Episode 111: One Piece Club - Wano, Finale
Apr 7, 202301:21:43Tap to summarizeAfter a bit of a hiccup with our recording platform it's time for the final regular episode of “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece," and the Multiversity Manga Club in general. We've had a great time covering ongoing Shonen Jump, various finished and/or non-Viz series, and, of course, "One Piece," and are humbled that anyone would take time out of their day to listen to us. We even "enjoyed" reviewing the Netflix Death Note for you. But enough of that -- in this month's episode we cover chapters 1033-1057, the fourth of four episodes covering Wano's third act, and the sixth Wano episode overall. To say it was a long arc is an understatement. Quite a bit happens here, but probably the main event is the secret history of the Gum-Gum Fruit and the appearance of Gear Five. And with that, we're done with the most recent completed arc. Thanks again for listening, and we may be back as future arcs conclude!

Oden? Bwahh? We'll be back in a month or so to cover chapters 1008-1032. As always, you can read along with us with the #OnePieceClub hashtag on Twitter.

In this month's episode we cover chapters 956-981, the first of <b>four</b> episodes covering Wano's third act. Is Wano perhaps too long? Well, maybe, but it's all good stuff right now. We cover more Reverie fallout, the dissolution of the Warlords of the Sea, and the traitor's reveal, but the majority of this selection is devoted to the mythical history of Kazuki Oden. We'll be back in a month or so to cover chapters 982-1007, crossing the 1000 mark. As always, you can read along with us with the #OnePieceClub hashtag on Twitter.

We'll be back in a month or so to cover chapters 956-981, the first of the <b>four episodes</b> it will take to cover Wano's third act.

We then stretch back a little bit into August to discuss the recent developments in "My Hero Academia" before finishing off by praising "Akane-Banashi."
