Bonney doesn't resemble the young Big Mum at all and she doesn't have her inhuman strength. It is funny how people criticizes that we will have clones everywhere but still likes to invent them anyway

given the reactions we had, it is better for the volumes readers that 1057 and 1059 are in the same one

it was a very good chapter. I'm not among those annoyed by the fact the dream is not revealed. It is probably a surprise Oda wants to keep till the end but he also wanted to tell his young readers that Luffy has another dream and that is why he wants to be pirate king.
Also the introduction via the promises he made with Sabo and Ace was nice and the double spread of the surprised crew is great.

About Zoro and Vivi, I don't really mind either. He is correct about the fact they have no clue where she is. He had Ace vivre card but they have no such things for Vivi. It is better to let Luffy's legendary luck do the job. It just provide us one surprise at the end of the chapter

Because Bonney arrival sure is lucky. How did she ended in that place and miraculously survived ? We know she is a key character so i don't mind the Deus ex Machina arrival. Are we entering a Vegapunk arc ? Finally !

Im demonstration is impressive. I like the hypothesis of it being Uranus. The reaction of the gorosei is weird as we don't know why they destroyed the island. The logic would be it is because Sabo knows but why would they say that ?
(Also the king seems to be a reference to Vlad the Impaler with the vampire teeth)

You cannot ask a fictional serie to be representative of real world. Of course it is very convenient that Vegapunk and Dragon happened to know Clover. But if Oda wants that we learn more of Dragon and the revolutionnary plotline or Vegapunk, those are helpful facilities that do not hurt that much the serie.
On the countrary I find it good that we are not presented another random people A for such things and that he reuses characters that we know.

i don't think the aim here is adventuring. Everything is centered around Vegapunk and his revelation. The guy deserve that much after having been a shadow for so long.
The CP0 arriving so soon is quite surprising given we have still much to know about him.

I understand that the two shadows were Ceasar and Judge. Otherwise this bubble makes little sense.

@Zhenja
I suppose Robby is nostalgic of the time when Oda was not forced to cluster his chapters with tiny panels...
I miss that time a bit too

@Deicide said in Chapter 1075: Labophase Death Game:

There are zero evidence supporting those. While they may be cool ideas for sure, you just don't have anything to back them up.

Why do we need evidence to back these theories up. The AI getting rogue is the most classic of trope and Oda has not always foreshadowed his surprises. Did we have evidence that Lucci and co were the members of the CP9 back then ?

Another cutaway I would be interested in would be the children of Big Mum rescuing their sister Pudding.

What does Khun wants to negociate ?
Honestly, I'm for neither of the family leaders. They are both unsufferable.

It will be nice to understand her backstory and why she feels that way.
Nakaba plays by the book but his girl characters are generally more interesting than the average shonen

Kizaru is really entertaining. The way he fools Luffy and his nonchalant behavior are great. I'm wondering if he is not a too clever adversary for Luffy and if he would benefit some help from his crew. I know I'm going to be disappointed by wishing group action but why not.

There was a huge debate on the gear 5 in the spoiler section. I'm a bit in between. I can't deny that the constant pop eyes annoy me a lot and Luffy laughing all the time is not my cup of tea either but the lightbulb was hilarious

I had kes the last chapters unread for some unknown reasons but i don't regret it.
All is well that ends well. Except for Laios who ended with being hungry all the time and not able to see the monsters he has loved so much.
I wouldn't mind if we had some extra with Farlin since in the end we didn't see her much and she seems a lovely character

I suppose it is time to have a good meal with friends then

We don't know why Bonney changed her mind about Vegapunk. It is probably something she saw in Kuma's memories and that we still need to learn about

I think we can forecast that Saturn will use the fact that he is at the top of the chain

What does Khun wants to negociate ?
Honestly, I'm for neither of the family leaders. They are both unsufferable.

Yeah it is not very clear what a spirit is and Percival persuaded the Behemoth quite easily
The transformation in a cute ball was funny though

I see lots of complaints about the schedule so let's have a thought for all the Black Clover fans which have the serialization moved to a quaterly magazine...

About the chapter, it is nice to see Robin is in the group. I wonder why she was left out at the end of previous one. It seems Oda doesn't want to explain us what really happened except for the depretification which is a bit frustrating. Bonney behavior is also a mystery, what made change her mind about Vegapunk ?

The panel with Saturn saying human are not better than insects is disturbing. It is more clear why they have not second thoughts before destroying Lulusia. I'm curious what Garp would have behaved if he was told such a thing.

Apparently I'm the only one who find it weird how the marines/Lucci are communicating so I will wait to see if Oda details it more in the next chapters.

Someone also mentioned that Lilith didn't quit Egghead whereas York went to Marijoa. This is indeed curious. I suppose Oda will developp it later as he didn't let Lilith say that for nothing.

@Daz said in Chapter 1089: Hostage Situation:

Whatever the case, I'm just not sure what rereadability, if any, the pre-cutaway Egghead section has

There are already lots of mini cutaways in this part. Also it is always fun to reread a part when you know the culprit to find if they are hints.
Anyway, York was just used to delay the departure for the final showdown happening now and to present the seraphims, i'm not sure we missed that much

Can Lucci ally with the Strawhat because his failure would not be accepted ?
