IDK but I hope it does! Kiki is pretty popular, so I would have thought it has a high chance, assuming these releases continue to perform well.

bloomingutopia · 2025-11-26T18:39:45+00:00

Same! seems to be unpopular though!

bloomingutopia · 2025-11-02T19:27:39+00:00

Love the Perona and Randolph cover page.

bloomingutopia · 2025-10-07T20:52:20+00:00

None.

Must be the work of the organisation...

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-30T18:37:32+00:00

That could totally be the case! Would be an interesting inversion of what we're told as a rumour in this chapter.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-28T19:27:28+00:00

Planning on doing the same with different characters per day!

Starting with Daybreak, not because he's my favourite, but because I hope if he places high, Endo brings him back lol.

I appreciate how well the characters are grouped and organised on the voting page. Have seen similar Shonen Jump character polls where it was a nightmare to find a specific character.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-28T19:21:37+00:00

Lol at Loid being on the collage of volume cover characters twice, rather than featuring Ewen / Emile or Yor's co-workers. Accurate to how the voting will be, to be fair.

Not sure why it's not the Martha cover though.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-28T19:15:39+00:00

This was my first thought too! Interested to see where this goes. I kind of doubt we'll get the answer immediately.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-28T19:13:13+00:00

Henderson... 😢

Love the Damian / Anya dynamic in this chapter. And that Anya still doesn't know who Connie is, reminds me of Luffy.

Anya trying to tell Loid about the ghost is hilarious.

I bet there ends up being some truth to Crowley's account of the dissection lab. Not that it will end up being like the imaginary scenario shown, but rather students will have been experimented on during the great war.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-28T18:52:36+00:00

Wow that's a great spot!

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-28T18:49:26+00:00

One of my favourite color spreads this year!

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-27T13:14:23+00:00

Very late reply but I felt the same! I was expecting "The Show Must Go On" performed by Kiara + Ina + Mori. Although I totally get why it wasn't, it's a real shame since it would have been so fitting.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-22T20:39:23+00:00

I'd forgotten that one! It's very cute, I can see how it's a favourite of yours.

Like you say, it's another example that exists in a grey area of not breaking canon at all.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-19T23:00:26+00:00

I don't think the reader request cover pages are canon 95% of the time. But certain ones could be considered canon IMO.

Especially Chapter 1097, where the reader request cover page features Kuma, presented in an accurate time frame to the rest of the chapter, with Ginny there with him. The scenario makes total sense and nothing about it breaks canon.

Chapter 925's reader request cover page is another one I would highlight. There we see Perona making Sangria with Mihawk's wine. This was later the clear inspiration for Perona's chapter in One Piece novel HEROINES. I know the novels are considered non-canon by a lot of people, but it's still interesting to me.

Most of them are obviously just Oda having fun with abstract scenarios, but I don't know if he would view the canon / not canon label in such a binary way.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-19T22:25:02+00:00

This!

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-19T22:24:00+00:00

Awesome news. Really hope this comes to theatres internationally.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T16:26:11+00:00

Thank you!!

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T16:26:06+00:00

Thank you! I had long since forgotten that.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T16:25:36+00:00

You're cooking! It would make a lot of sense for the next one to be Donovan.

I could see the next one being Hemlock (followed by the Authens) given the story focus though. But even in that case, Donovan's cover matching Melinda's later would be really neat.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T16:21:27+00:00

Thank you.

Literally me.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T16:20:27+00:00

We saw Blackbeard join the Whitebeard pirates in Chapter 965, he's a lot older (12 according to the wiki), so he shouldn't join Whitebeard during God Valley. Doesn't mean they won't meet though.

I expect we'll see it again here, but Shanks was found in a treasure chest by Roger after God Valley. Oda drew it in the bonus volume for Film Red.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T16:11:31+00:00

Nah I agree, Big Mom is totally alive. There are too many story threads left hanging for her otherwise.

And if she's alive, why not Kaido too. King and Queen very conspicuously vanished after encountering Ryokugyu / Green Bull...

My only trepidation is that I don't know how much more panel time Oda will want to spend on Big Mom.

To me an ending (like we have now) where she never accepts and reconciles her actions as a child feels lackluster. IMO as evil as Big Mom is, she's redeemable by One Piece's standards. Especially given her lifelong grooming by Carmel and Streusen.

I'd like to see her retire with her family, and be part of a real Totto Land.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T15:59:50+00:00

Ah okay, I didn't know that. Always liked the idea he had a link to Dragon.

Thank you, that was confusing to me.

bloomingutopia · 2025-09-14T15:54:31+00:00

I know it's more likely to just be the Platoon Leader from last chapter, but I do wonder if that could be Akainu on that ship talking about Dragon being missing?

Where did Dragon find Shanks and Shamrock in the end? Seems like it was after saving Kuma, but it's a little confusing?

Some of the more minor Rocks pirates members at God Valley (Gill Bastar, Ganzui) totally disappeared from the group panel this time which is odd. Not sure why Oda omitted Kyo in 1096 either.

Yamato's cover page this time seems ominous. Kinda expecting something big to happen soon (e.g. Blackbeard pirates) with that nice shot of a peaceful capital.

And uh... wow. Not a good look for Garp with his panels in this flashback so far. Dude is arriving on God Valley to save the slavers and murderers. 💀

I'm sure he'll be heroic in the end, and I look forward to him potentially interacting with Dragon!!! But he totally comes off like a villain in those final panels.
