Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
I swear there was talk about the WT100 spread coming up after the last chapter. Was that just people getting presumptuous and the rumour getting spread as fact?
It's a shame, the anniversary would have been a perfect time for a big celebratory thing like that. At least that August 10 date is pretty close. Chapter 1021 then, if I've run the numbers right?
Seems that Yamato, Oden, Kiku, and Hiyori are the most popular characters introduced at Wano, and in the top 50 no less.
I can see why the former three, but Hiyori has been so boring that she might rival Rebecca if she starts weeping some.
Eh, fuck it.
I can see why the former three, but Hiyori has been so boring that she might rival Rebecca if she starts weeping some.
"As of the 5th Japanese Fan Poll, Rebecca is the 29th most popular character, making her the sixth most popular female of the series behind Nefertari Vivi, Perona, Nico Robin, Boa Hancock, and Nami."
Even Rebecca was high during Dressrosa and many female characters ranked specially high in this online global poll.
I can see why the former three, but Hiyori has been so boring that she might rival Rebecca if she starts weeping some.
Dunno, Hiyori bitch slapping Orochi was top moment.

Well, I'm sure her reunion scene with Kawamatsu and determination in proceeding towards the future resonated with people.

The top 50 character illustration (by Eiichiro Oda) will publish in the next three issues of WSJ !
Interesting wording, a poster across three consecutive issues. I wonder if it'll actually count as a colour spread for the chapters its with or not. And if it is presented as a series of colour spreads, I guess that means no breaks for the next three issues, giving us more chapters in a row than we've had in more years than I can bother to count.
Finally it's Here . Have been waiting for this since February tbh . I hope GODA does full justice to the Future Pirate King Luffy , First Mate and the Right Hand Man , The Best Girl and the Pirate Queen and place them in the foreground /centre of the poster . We may also see certain Characters interacting with each other . Also does it mean we are getting no breaks for 4 consecutive weeks . Let's Goooo !!!
The last project for Volume 100 will be illustration of World Popularity Poll !
The text says "a hundred pirates", so maybe top 50 character + other characters.
I think marketing it as a volume 100 promo is bad news for people's hopes of three more chapters with no breaks. Given that the coming chapters are going to be deep in volume 101, it wouldn't make sense for the volume 100 promo to be their colour spreads. It's just going to come out in the magazine alongside them. I wonder this means it'll appear in full in the endpages of volume 100 then?
Maybe a poster as a gift from buying the volume?
Oda did say that he was drawinf "50 and them some", I have high expectations for it! Hope it turns out as rad as that calendar poster 
Poster will be published horizontally in 3 big parts

They announced that the Poster title is "One Hundred Famous Views of Great Pirates" !
Folks, forum policy is no spoilers leave the spoiler section until official release.
It does not matter that this is a no-context color spread, you are still breaking the official street date by several days.
Hold your commentary and bootleg scans until at least Sunday.
Discuss it in the spoiler section in the meantime.
It's been posted elsewhere, but the first part of the colour spread for this popularity poll has been released. (I'm assuming we can talk about it, since the chapter's been officially released)
I'm thinking that all of the Straw Hats (and a few others, like Crocodile or Enel) will be in the second colour spread, while the Roger and Whitebeard Pirates (and some others who are affiliated with them, like Sabo, or don't fit into other categories, like Carrot or Woop Slap) will be in the third. (I'm guessing that Shanks and Blackbeard will be in the other two corners, rather than Shanks and Whitebeard)
Really can't wait for the full version, gonna look amazing.
I've posted my analysis of the poster in the Nakama thread, but here's a copy/paste for this thread as well:
Some observations (this is pure opinion and speculation, don't get mad over it):
This is the 1st part of a 3-part poster. This is the left portion of the image, as you can see by looking into the borders.
Kaido and Big Mom decorate the corners, so it's safe to assume Shanks and Blackbeard will be on the opposite side.
The Straw Hats are likely in the middle. They'll likely all be in the 2nd part, thought some may spill into the 3rd. You can see Sanji's flame leg above Hancock, and a tip of Nami's Climatact to the right. You can also see treasure around Hancock's feet, indicating the Straw Hats may be defending their claim to it.
There's also a "Warlord area" of the image. Here, we can see Kuma, Doflamingo, Moria and Mihawk, but also part of Crocodile's barchan attack just above Sanji's leg.
Law, once a Warlord, is also near the other warlords, but get a more prestigious position in the foreground, and as a heroic figure rather than a threat.
Hancock's placement is rather interesting. She's near the Warlords, just like Law. But, like him, she's portrayed as a hero. And she's really close to the Straw Hats's likely position. She could even be in some sort of formation with them. Let's see how they are placed, and if some other character completes the formation by standing on the other side of the crew. I also like that Hancock is using a dress rather than her Amazon Lily outfit. She's always using dresses when portrayed as a hero, while her empress outfit is more like her "Warlord garb", IMO. I also really liked her color scheme here. White/pink/violet not only suits her, but also matches Salome's scales. I always found strange that Salome's colors did not match Hancock's, but it becomes so perfect here!
BTW, all three almost-official waifus are in this piece: Hancock, Pudding and Hiyori. It's interesting Hiyori is portraied in her Komurasaki outfit and hair. But she feels more relaxed and happy here than she usually looked like as Komurasaki. Maybe it's just because of how low-detailed she is in the picture, but could it mean something?
Reiju's position is really weird. She's just by herself, away from Sanji, and with none of her brothers around. We know Oda is adding characters beyond the Top 50, so he could have included someone else with her. Or is her loneliness a hint of something?
Same with Pudding. She's portrayed like an ally, unlike Katakuri, and she's away from any figures related to her family. Yes, Katakuri is nearby, by on another plane and really not interacting with her. Plus, what's up with Katakuri's height? He's taller than Moria or Kuma, and yet he's so small here. Worst, he's the character that's closest to our PoV, so he would be absolutely huge, lol.
Yamato's placement is as far away from the Straw Hats as it can be. I was surprised by that. I was expecting him to be near the other allies. The image features Yamato closer to Wano figures (Hiyori, Oden, Kiku). Does it mean something? His position may get more prestigious if we see some of the Straw Hats also spread out in other parts, thus balancing it out.
Perona is near both Mihawk and Moria, both people she cares about. But I can't tell if she's meant to be friend or foe in this. What do you think? She looks pretty neutral, but is facing towards the supposed Straw Hat position, like most enemies. Mihawk is also pretty neutral, I can't see if he's friend or foe in this.
Law, Yamato and Hancock are almost the three "main" heroes of this piece. Law obviously take the most prestigious position, being in the center of the piece.
–--------------------
I can't wait for the next part! About next pieces:
Non-SH characters from Top 50 that haven't appeared yet: Shirahoshi, Izou, Blackbeard, Garp, Lucci, Koby, X Drake, Tashigi, Woop Slap, Aokiji, Enel, Buggy, Rayleigh, Going Merry, Whitebeard, Gol D. Roger, Smoker, Kid, Bon Kurei, Vivi, Marco, Crocodile, Shanks, Carrot
We see a glimpse of Crocodile's sand above Hancock and Sanji's feet. He completes the Warlords section, as mentioned. I don't expect Weevil to be in it.
There will probably be a a "marine section" like the Warlords'. It will probably be on the other side of the Straw Hats, featuring Koby, Garp, Drake, Tashigi, Aokiji and Smoker.
I wonder where Carrot will be placed. On the other side of the Straw Hats, balancing with Hancock? Or farther away, balancing with Yamato? Or even among them? Any other minks round?
I expect Izou, Marco, Whitebeard and Ace to be together somewhere, likely in the 3rd piece. Ace could be the opposite to Yamato, Izou as the opposite to Kiku, and Whitebeard opposing Oden
What will be Sabo's placement? Near Ace? It wouldn't fit the Whitebeard theme. Maybe he's fighting Lucci, representing Revolutionaries vs. World Government.
Lucci's placement is probably as a loner, rather than near the marines.
Where will Buggy be? Near the Warlords? With Roger and Rayleigh?
Vivi and/or Bon Kurei may be the opposites to Hancock's position near the Straw Hats.
How will Oda fit Shirahoshi and the Going Merry in this? Will he cheat and put just references to them, or will they appear for real? I could see Shirahoshi being among the Straw Hats, protected by them in the center of the full image.
What about Enel and Woop Slap? They fit nowhere, lol. However, you can see lightning around Moria's hand. Enel is probably in the next piece, to Moria's right.
Kid will probably be opposite to Law, as the center figure of the 3rd piece.
I do agree most of Starhwats will be in the middle section (you can even see one Climatact's ends near Hancock), but imho they'll begin to spread from the far right side (Shanks' angle). Crocodile is in there too fighting Doffy and there's a fire leg which shoe doesn't really resemble Sanji's. If not for particular outfit, I claim for Ace in there. Also lightning above Moriah looks like Enel's doing.
By the way I don't think there's really a hero-villain side, more like protagonist on the first plane, but imho Straw Hats will occupy the rest of it). It looks like they goes for affinity, so we have Wanoeses first (Oden, Yamato, Hiyori, Kiku) along Kaido. After them the Totlandians (Katakuri, Purin and Reiju), so Dressrosa (Law, Rosinante, Bartolomeo) with Doflamingo linking to Warlords and affine (Perhona). Near Crocodile will probably be placed Buggy (as last Warlod) and Bonkure, along Vivi (above part of Straw Hats) and Ace, as Arabasta section. From Ace (so between Enel and some Straw Hat) Izo, Marco and Whitebeard, which will be split among the middle and right section. Near him, Roger, Rayleigh (Teach's angle) and Garp as tie to Marine section (Drake, Koby, Smoker, Tashigi and by WG extension, Lucci). Kuzan on the background near Teach's head. I can see Kid and Lucci clashing, maybe taking in Killer too as extra character. A little Carrot (as much as a Reiju) can appears in there along Woop Slap. Shirahoshi just emerging from the sea near the whole ship, which could happen to have Merry's polena.
Here's the rip of the poster for the digital edition of Jump, for anyone looking for it:
With relatively newer characters Yamato, Oden, and Katakuri being in the front. Interesting.
Can someone post the Color Spread from 1024 here if it is out yet, please? I want to see it but I don't want to see chapter spoilers

All of the promotional material for this issue of WSJ says "mini poster" when referring to the first part of this spread. What exactly does that mean? Is it any larger in size from a typical color spread? Would anyone be able to tell me how large it is, maybe redon? I was under the assumption that, in terms of size, the final product would be the equivalent of three color spreads put together, but "mini poster" confuses me. Want to know if it'd be worth my while to pick up these issues of WSJ myself.
