Releasing content on a regular basis can be difficult for anyone, be it a blog post, video, or review. Now imagine having to create a fifteen to seventeen page comic almost EVERY SINGLE WEEK. A seemingly impossible schedule like that is what’s expected of weekly manga creators, or mangka-ka, all the time.

Surprisingly enough, some very successful manga-ka have made it their mission to actively delay their works on a constant basis. And, as a result, their series have gained greater levels of popularity as well as an increase in visual quality.

Some of the professionals on this list may surprise some of you, while most of you savvy regular weekly series fans have already guessed at least half of the people I’m about to mention.

Let’s get to it!

PETA accuses Straw Hat Pirates of extreme emotional abuse over calling Tony Tony Chopper “Emergency Food” [2D News]

No Comments on PETA accuses Straw Hat Pirates of extreme emotional abuse over calling Tony Tony Chopper “Emergency Food” [2D News]

Last week, the non-profit animal rights organization, PETA, released an official statement condemning the designation of Straw Hat Crew member Tony Tony Chopper as “Emergency Food”.

“PETA recognizes Tony Tony Chopper as an intelligent creature capable of fulfilling the same sailing duties expected of any other pirate of any other species. Any animal forced to live under constant threat of death will no doubt cause said creature enormous emotional and psychological stress and should be considered abuse.”

The statement goes further saying that the talking reindeer should immediately be returned to his native island to live out his days with his own species.

Would’ve been nice if Shigaraki was the final villain.

But, it doesn’t look like that’s the case anymore. I hoped Horikoshi wouldn’t make All For One so important to the creation of Shigaraki. Sure, we saw the Demon Lord of Formal Wear returning a young Tenko home during Shigaraki’s origin and figured he at least had a hand in giving Tenko the Decay quirk.

But, now? After reading this chapter? It’s clear AFO’s plan goes deeper than that. Much deeper. And that’s a shame. A shame because it looks like Deku will indeed save Shigaraki … from All For One.

I bet AFO’s also responsible for my dad’s hemorrhoids. Damn you!

Pokémon From Hell [One Piece 1111]

Gotta catch ’em all? More like gotta escape ’em all!

Them, of course, being the Five Elders. They’re on Egghead Island to stop Dr. Vegapunk’s transmission from going full TMZ on their whole operation. And, maybe kill Monkey D. Luffy in the process. But that’s a bonus.

Flying/Dark Type, Saint Mars, found York The Greedy. If anyone knows where and how to stop the transmission it’s her. So, does that mean the World Government’s dirty laundry will remain safely locked up in history’s clothes hamper? Nope! This is the final saga, Y’all. At some point, the world must learn how awful the World Government is. It’s now or never from a narrative point of view. It’s happening!

But, it doesn’t mean York and Mars won’t try stopping the transmission. My guess is Vegapunk Stella, Shaka, and Pythagoras have a few more tricks up their dead sleeves. For example: Is it just a coincidence it’s the three dead Vegapunks broadcasting the message? Could this be happening live … inside Punk Records? Or, is there a back-up message ready to go if this one’s taken down? Basically, I’m expecting a last second twist that guarantees the message gets out.

Luckily, Jimbei hadn’t yet used his master ball.

My theory is Dr. Vegapunk snitches on the Five Elders, backing the World Government into a corner where Uranus (the weapon that instantly destroyed an entire country) is their final option in keeping the masses in check, ala Star War’s Death Star. The Revolutionaries begin making their final plays in response, leading to every country picking a side, then …World War One Piece.

Keep Your Grandma’s Hero Name Out Your Flappin’ Mouth [My Hero Academia 417]

Family can really screw us up, huh?

Intentually or unintentually, many of us have been hurt by our family. That pain can last a long time, maybe forever. Fortunately, we live in a world where mental health is being treated more seriously than it’s ever been before. So, if you’re hurting on the inside, seek help.

I don’t think Kotaro Shimura sought professional help for what happened to him as a child. Or, if I’m wrong, he should find a new therapist. The anguish of his mother, Nana Shimura, abandoning him never healed and eventually lead to the man hurting his own child, Tenko. Tenko Shimura dreamt of becoming a hero, but his father had no intention of supporting even the idea of it. He even slapped his son just because he wanted to become a hero one day. Sure, Tenko joked about his mother’s Alopecia condition beforehand, but that’s still uncalled for!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Anyway. A guilt-ridden Nana finally gets to learn what became of her son after she left to get cigarettes and never returned (Note: Never try buying cigarettes from All For One). It’s a heart breaking scene. The whole chapter was an interesting look into Shigaraki’s subconscious. So, now Nana’s gone. The last One For All vestige breaking Shigaraki’s final emotional barrier. The Big Bad’s heart is now an open book, or VR simulation, for Deku to learn exactly what created such a monster.

Imagine your grumpy, demonic powered grandpa telling you to turn off that blasted television or else. You choose else, so he and his four demon buddies decide to turn the TV off themselves. And, you along with it.

One Piece chapter 1110 is what I expected and more. Indeed, I expected to see the other four of the Five Elders appearing on Egghead. I didn’t, however, expect them to immediately get down to business. No threats. No monologuing. No hesitation. Say what you want about Boomers being out of touch, but they know how to get down to business.

Based on the chapter, St. Mars, the only flying member of the geriatric group, is trying to destroy the source of Dr. Vegapunk’s transmission located in the Labophase. St. Nusjuro’s disabling of the Pacifistas, my guess, is meant to flip the Navy back on the offensive. They’re now free to continue the Buster Call as well as fully pursue Jewelry Bonney. But lets be real, we’re in this arc’s endgame. They’re not making much of an impact going forward.

Forget Luffy. Somebody call the Ghostbusters!

With most of Japan’s citizens evacuated and all other battles fought, all eyes turn to a young hero trying to save the world.

No, not Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender! Izuku Midoriya AKA Deku AKA the current strongest hero on Earth. At least, I think he still is. That final punch of his may have transferred the entirety of One For All to Shigaraki, leaving Deku quirkless again. It’s possible, but let’s be real. At the very least I think the basic OFA quirk, represented by the 1st User, will stay with Deku. Let Deku clean, Horikoshi! That’s what the kids say, right? Clean? Or, is it cook?

While the chapter focused on other characters, every conversation throughout the chapter was centered around our main character peppered with panels showing our favorite crying hero fighting Shigaraki. At the end, Deku seems to have reached the source of Shigaraki’s trauma, Tenko Shimura’s old home.

Deku fully supports Eri’s dream of becoming Pirate King

The classic narrative countdown returns.

Alabasta’s hidden bomb, Doflamingo’s string cage closing in on Dressrosa, Onigashima floating towards the Flower Capital. Almost, if not, all of One Piece’s major arcs have a something or someone creating a sense of urgency for our beloved Straw Hat Crew, while at the same time, raising the suspense for the reader as high as it’ll go until the arc’s climax concludes. Classic Oda. Classic storytelling.

And just like with most of One Piece’s previous arcs, I think it’s safe to say we’re past Egghead Arc’s halfway point. Just how far we are to the finish is anyone’s guess. And, since I’m anyone, I’ll guess we have between 10 – 25 more chapters left before we pass the climax. NOT finish the arc, but simply the Five Elders are defeated or delayed and Dr. Vegapunk’s message is delivered throughout the world. Basically, it’s gonna be awhile before Egghead wraps up, Y’all.

You can’t just summon four monsters in one turn. Cheater!

With the revelation Saint Saturn is UPS Same Day summoning the other four Elders to Egghead in order to stop Vegapunk’s transmission, I now understand why Oda has Dorry and Brogy making their way to Luffy who was having little trouble dealing with both Kizaru and Saturn. Five Elders plus Kizaru means there has to be at least six opponents fighting them. And among the Five Elders, at least one of them is heading straight for the Labophase to stop the transmission at its source. And it just so happens Zoro is still up there. Yeah. I think we all know where this is going. Lucci is the appetizer and one of the Five Elders (Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro?) is the main course.

Whoever said fighting never solves anything never read a Shonen manga.

More fighting, Y’all. The 2nd One For All User, Kudo, damaged Shigaraki’s psyche/opened his heart/pierced his soul. I’m not really sure anymore. In any case, En, the 6th OFA User managed to damage Master Hand Shiggy this chapter. Okay… Work.

If you’re reading this, it means that I am dead.

Dead tired, that is! What a busy week he had! Oh, and Dr. Vegapunk: Stella Edition is dead. For real dead. Real/Fake Dead. Fictional Dead. You know what I mean. In any case, Dr. Vegapunk was smart enough to come up with a plan to stick it to the World Government if he did indeed die. And it looks like that plan involves broadcasting a pre-recorded Ted Talk revealing everything he knows about the history of the world. And, also how to overcome stage fright, but let’s focus on the former, shall we?

“And the truth is… all of the *One Piece* movies are canon and I can prove it!!!”
