One Piece Chapter 1046: Review

One Piece Chapter 1046 is a thrilling issue for the series, providing much-needed clarity and resolution while also signalling the end of the Onigashima Raid. Recent issues have been a nonstop barrage of revelations, action, and excitement, and 1046 takes a deep breath to provide clarity on these revelations.

The most important part of the chapter is Luffy’s declaration to his enemy, Kaido, that he is still himself. Since chapter 1043’s initial reveal, a sizable portion of the fanbase has been concerned that the series’ protagonist has been reincarnated as Joy Boy. While this was not necessarily a bad choice, many fans stated that they had high expectations of Oda.

A combination of Luffy’s line to Kaido and Zunesha’s supporting dialogue appears to confirm that he has simply inherited Joy Boy’s will. This is one of the chapter’s key highlights, both in the context of the chapter and the series as a whole.

Beyond this proclamation, the most significant events are Raizo’s plan and the issue’s final pages. The Wano ninja collaborate with Jinbe to unleash a torrent of water throughout the Onigashima castle, successfully extinguishing the fires within. This saves the lives of many people who would otherwise be trapped by the fires and ready to die.

The two’s inventive use of their abilities is the main focus here, with Raizo using his Scroll-Scroll Fruit to store water from Zunesha’s baths during his time on Zou. Jinbe, in turn, was able to use his Fishman Karate to direct this massive collection of water throughout the castle at large.

Yamato and Momonosuke discuss the state of Onigashima, as well as Kaido versus Luffy, in the final pages of One Piece Chapter 1046. She informs him that her father’s Flame Clouds are beginning to fade, indicating that his life force and energy are also fading. This would seem to imply that his and Luffy’s fight is about to end spectacularly.

However, the impact of Kaido’s defeat on the state of Onigashima is far more significant. His Flame Clouds will vanish if he is beaten and either killed or knocked unconscious, and the island will collide with mainland Wano. Yamato reminded Momonosuke that making Flame Clouds to replace Kaido’s was the only way to complete victory from the start.

Their conversation, along with the execution of Raizo’s plan, would appear to indicate that the Onigashima Raid is nearing its conclusion. Given everything that needs to be addressed, this would mark the beginning of the end of the Wano arc, most likely via its own wrap-up arc.

The fanbase appears to be pleased with all of the major developments in One Piece Chapter 1046, as well as the minor details. The novelty of Luffy’s rubber-hose animation-like mannerisms and actions appears to be far from worn out in the eyes of fans.

Another major source of interest and celebration in the community appears to be the cover story of One Piece Chapter 1046. Two silhouetted characters make landfall in Totto Land territory, the home of the Yonko Big Mom, in this issue. Many fans are excitedly speculating that this is the Blackbeard Pirates’ invasion of Big Mom’s territory.
