Volume 95 Predictions/Discussion
-
Coming On 28th December 2019 :
-
Oh, right on my birthday…
neat!!!
-
That is an odd release date.
-
About a week earlier than expected. I wonder if Jan 4 was just too close to New Years for printing/shipping to work with the holidays.
We still have at least three chapters to go in the volume, so it's early to make calls about covers/titles, but it's going to be an interesting one either way. Between the Big Mom/Kaido teamup, the massive events of the intermission, the cliffhanger start of Act Three and the start of the Oden flashback, the forward facing parts of the book could go to literally any plot thread.
-
That is an odd release date.
Previous one piece volumes had been released on the same date before

Yeah but not since like 2015 so I think it's fair to say it stands out.
-
Enma makes the cover and maybe the Scabbards and Orochi. Hiyori and i'll have to wait on the next 5-6 chapters to add more possibilities because Oden looks like a lock
Wait, hold on. Imagine Oden and the Scabbards surrounding him on the cover, but the flashback versions of everyone. Still not sure on the flashback character/Izo/Kiku situation. Maybe it was Kiku, maybe it was Izo or neither.
-
What chapters shall it cover ?

What chapters shall it cover ?
954 through to somewhere around 963 - 965. Won't know for sure til those chapters are out and we get the book's pagecount.
-
Queen in dino-form, Gyukimaru, the yakuza guys. Swords and maybe HyorixZoro.
-
I have no clue what they'd put in the cover. The stuff from Act 2 already got mostly resolved in the previous volume, Act 3 has barely started, the intermission is too small to focus on it, and it feels too early to put Oden.
-
One day before my birthday. Nice gift.
-
Luffy in a Samurai outfit. Yonkou bounties, Warlords
-
Raw cover :
-
Love the simplicity on what could have easily been an overcrowded cover.
-
Well most One Piece-ish cover in a while. Remind me of volumes like 25 or 39. I'd love to see it colored.
-
I remember loving Brook, Chopper and Luffy in that armor. For a volume cover, I don't like it. Especially with those 4 just plastered in the background. Feels sloppy
-
Oh wow, was not expecting a cover so soon. We don't even have all the chapters yet!
It would be a shame to loose the chance to speculate if it didn't look so damn good. Much simpler than I would have thought, but a incredibly effective and illustrative composition regardless. With the character selection in mind, I'm pegging "Ultimate" from chapter 957 as the book's title.
Can't wait to see the complete, coloured version!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Made a placeholder with the dimensions of an actual cover and the logo inserted, just in case that's useful to anyone.

When Oda doesnt put too many characters,the covers are great! (Except the ones where all the Strawhats are together,those are the only ones where he should put a lot of characters). This cover is great.
-
Official Colors.

I'm not sure the final frame there actually is the final colours. We can still see the colouring on top of Big Mom and Shanks going outside the lines of their frames, and even a bit into Brook, plus Luffy's skin tone and Chopper's fur are way too light still, like the in-progress colours we saw for volume 92 a little way back. And isn't it weird, if this is the final version, that Oda seems to go with the colours from the chapter 310 spread for Luffy's armour, then changes his mind halfway thought.
There's definitely more to come from this one.
-
I think maybe Oda changing his mind about colors midway-through is a common occurrence given all the 'making-of' covers we've gotten.
-
The volume consists 208 page. not sure about chapter maybe 10 - 11
I'm sure that we have insane cover and chapters !!
-
That's definitely 11 chapters, which would bring it to chapter 964, one chapter past what should currently be in the spoiler thread.
I really didn't expect it to be so long with the release date so close. Between this and the upcoming Christmas breaks and a few assumed Odabreaks we're gonna be left with little to no backlog of chapters for volume 96 at the start of next year. Could make a late March/early April release for that volume pretty tight. Only squeezing in three volumes instead of the usual four cost the series its crown this year, so I wonder how willing its ediors are to let it continue that way.
-
Does that mean Shanks will be in wano?

No, it means that chapter 957 is included in the volume.

Volume 91 was published in december 2018, so that makes 4 volumes.
Given Kimetsu backlog sales, there was no way One Piece kept is crown anyway. It will become a million saler serie in the upcoming weeks -

I'm not so sure. For instance, volume 90 had 208 pages and 10 chapters. Besides, the chapter 963 seems like a good chapter to end the volume.

Volume 90 didn't have any 13 page chapters. It also had 7 pages of additional recap before the Reverie.
The math up to chapter 963 is essentially 164 pages for just the comic, plus 11 pages for SBS and so on adjacent to the first page of each chapter, plus roughly 5 pages at the front for titles and recaps, plus an assumed 4 - 8 at the end for the UGP, plus a little leeway for ads and other extra pages at the back. That's 182 - 188 pages total, which is way too short. Another 17 page chapter is the only reasonable way to get the volume into that 208 page ballpark.

It's really symbolic that Kimetsu will be highest selling manga of the year, but it's only thanks to backlog sales, right? OP still sells at least 3x more than Kimetsu per volume as far as I know.
-
Yes it is only due to backog sales. Still even with that it is extremely rare that a serie outsale One Piece. Also it will be more x2 than x3 now

Same thing happened with Attack on Titan a few years back when it got an anime. People buying up a dozen volumes volumes backlog at a time gives it bigger numbers that year, then the next year its just the ongoing and it sells less. Not a big deal.
Also, given that
A)Kimetsu is also a Jump title
B)One Piece still sells 2.5-3 million per volumeThey're fine with it.

All true. When I wrote my comment I was thinking 'oh if volume 95 could have been just a little bit earlier we could have had a regular year and its sales could have made up the difference' but as Kdom pointed out we actually did have four volumes in the year and Kimetsu still pulled ahead.
It would have been interesting to see if they say, limited volumes to 10 chapters (and added more extras to make the pagecount) to ensure the maximum number of books in a year, but ultimately it's probably better Oda and the staff focus on producing volumes with a satisfying amount of content that end at a fitting point rather than getting as many out as possible.
-
I'd prefer it always end at the best cliffhanger possible. It doesn't always happen though.
The worst one was the strawhat separation. You couldn't have fit in oooooone more chapter to get the real ending?
-
Oh absolutely agreed. Zoro disappearing alone isn't a bad twist if you don't know what comes after, but every time you reread it the missed opportunity becomes more painful.
It's made worse by the three pages of fanart added between chapters 513 and 514 in volume 53. They knew readers would need a moment to breathe and let the implications of the separation settle in before they kept reading. They knew how necessary that was, and yet…
-
I can only guess that the printer and paper needed was set up in advance and Oda thought he'd get to that point but didn't quite… ad with the tight tiemtables on things adding in another chapter would have raised the price or slowed the release or any number of other things.
Because they have pushed in an extra chapter before when Oda reeeeally wanted it, though he understands the costs of that and doesn't ask lightly. And yet...

Isn't three consecutive 11 chapters volumes a strange occurrence?

we used to have 11 chapter for volume 57-59

i will stop at there…

Clearly 10 chapters.

Chapter 963 is a good ending chapter, but it leaves 20 pages unaccounted for. Either we're getting 11 chapters or we're getting a ton of extras in this one.
-
The cover looks amazing as it is. Clean, harmonious and I like the non-obvious pick of Brook and Chopper. But just to nitpick I would have preferred if Luffy was alone with the Emperors, just because "theme".
! The way I am picturing, Luffy would be bigger so that his head goes up to the mid part of Linlin/Shanks face. Instead of Brook, a big towering Newgate with his back towards the reader, he would stand behind the other emperors panels, so we would only see his upper half covering the ONEPIECE logo. And instead of Chopper, the strawhat laying on the ground in front of Luffy symbolizing Roger, dynamic angle maybe to make it look bigger.
! But maybe it's too early for a "Luffy+Emperors only". -
No news about the cover yet?
