 More wild action, new issues and some unexpected heads to make for a truly exciting chapter. The battle at Onigashima is hype and there has never been a better time to be a One Piece fan. Hello my Nakamotachi, this is Joygirl and today we are going to discuss Chapter 1003 of One Piece, Night on the Board. Which is interestingly the same 20 pages as the last couple of chapters but because of everything that happened, felt much longer. But before we get into all of it, I do want to take this time to encourage any newcomers or unsubscribed viewers to press that red subscription button and the notification bell for more One Piece goodness. We are an up and coming crew here at the Joygirl channel and would love for you to come join us in our discussion of the greatest series. And with that being said, let's get straight into this chapter because there are lots to discuss. Similar to how Chapter 1002 started, Chapter 1003 began with the continuation of the previous chapter as we see Luffy attacking Kaito mid-Gatling gun. I really like this style because it emphasises the feeling that this is an intense, ongoing battle happening and I think it works very well when there are no breaks in between chapters. And this attack goes on? In fact, there are about 3 pages dedicated to Luffy just pummeling Kaito whilst the rest of the participants are jaw-droppingly watching. In my opinion, this is a great, great way to achieve a number of things. Firstly, whilst this highlights Luffy's evolution and resilience, it further highlights Kaito's durability. So much has been said about how tough Kaito's skin or scales are but this is the first time Kaito is shown to actually take on full damage from an attack because he is not able to completely tank it. I did emphasise this in this chapter that all of Luffy's punches did full damage so it's a great showing that Kaito's durability has as much to do with the fact that, yes, whilst there haven't been as many attacks able to inflict proper damage on him, he's also able to tolerate pain if the attacks do. So he's not just relying on this armour of thick layer of scales which is a great subtle way to hype up your villain. So it seems that even though Luffy has mastered a more advanced level of Haki, this didn't eliminate the downscale of not being able to use Haki for 10 minutes following his attack, which becomes an even bigger problem or weakness considering who they're up against. Now that Luffy is incapacitated, I'm highly anticipating a great focus on the other four supernovas and it'll be interesting to see who will take over the somewhat frontline role that Luffy has had in this battle. Zoro or Kid feels like the two frontrunners based on what Zoro did this chapter and in Kid's case, well, it's the opposite as so far an argument could be made that he's been the most underwhelming of this bunch so I'm sure that there are greater reasons for this and now we may be one step closer to seeing this now that more room has opened up for Kid to create some highlights of his own. Big Mom continues to be a problem as she tries to attack Luffy with a funnily named Happy Mother's Blaze, which did not land as Zoro saves Luffy. There's actually not much of Big Mom in this chapter apart from that quick attempt on Luffy and being finally hit in this battle thanks to Lore's countershock, Big Mom was pretty much just present to react to things that were happening, which did have its uses. Kid and Killa try to take advantage of Kaido being down on the ground, but as they were approaching, the Yonko rises up and performed another ridiculous attack, Dragon Twister. Zoro said at best, Kaido is a natural disaster with all of these elemental attacks he's been pulling out of the bag, which was also a nice callback to the last chapter when Kid said the same thing about Big Mom. In fact, the panel of Kaido's attack was very reminiscent to Big Mom's Tengen with both their natural elemental attacks which cover a large area. And as Big Mom had her glory in chapter 1002, it's time for Kaido in this chapter. But back to Zoro, man, oh man, was he good in this chapter or what? From protecting his captain from danger, to delivering his own Dragon Twister to an actual dragon no less, which is my favorite panel from this week's chapter. I just love seeing the evolution of this attack from the first time we saw it back in the Fishman Island arc, which makes me question whether Zoro only uses this attack against fish. But in all seriousness, how awesome is this panel? There was a lot of anticipation getting to this moment, but we're finally here. Zoro has cut Kaido. The awesomeness of Zoro's words prior to delivering this attack is what made this even better in my opinion. The official translation has Zoro referring to Luffy as Al Captain and this felt like Zoro had the Straw Hat crew in mind during the battle, which can be interpreted as something that was adding fuel to his motives to make sure that Luffy is out of fatal danger because A, if anything happens to Luffy, the crew will be devastated and B, the harder part of having to tell the crew that such a thing happened because whilst Luffy is yes indeed the captain, Zoro's additional role in this battle apart from fighting is to make sure that both he and Luffy come back to their crew safe. There is a slight bit of dissatisfaction on my part though and this is a teeny tiny microscopic one and that is the fact that there seems to be a gray area when it comes to Zoro using Enma. As of this point, I sense a slight hold back on Otis' part in highlighting Zoro as there seems to be too much focus on Enma as the sword being able to work on Kaido. Whilst the other participants are unaware of Enma's destructive power and just simply see things as Zoro cutting Kaido's scales, Kaido who has experienced this in the past against Odin is shown to single out the sword itself which I'm sure and hope will change as the battle goes on. I see this as a good device to have Zoro evolve to another level and perhaps we'll culminate in Kaido finally realizing that it has less to do with the sword and it's more a testament to how great a swordsman Zoro is. Back to Kaido though, we had our third dragon twister this time an improved version of what Kaido has been delivering and this one was called Dragon Twister Demolition Breath. The supernovas do a good job of parrying and avoiding this but I gotta say as cool as seeing lore avoid these air slashes Killa is the one that really stood out for me. Seeing Zoro block Kaido's attack in the last chapter was so badass and now Killa is doing a similar thing with multiple slashes whilst moving which is a little detail that I'd like to show appreciation to. We also got an update of what's going on around Onigashima through the use of CPO agents and a go board. It was an unexpected inclusion which reminded us of how large this war is and all the players still involved. I also really like the dialogue in this scene in addition to emphasizing the gravity of what this battle means for the world it also adds that sense of urgency and perhaps doubt that this battle will go beyond Onigashima as one of the CPO agents mentioned that we are on an island and there is no escape which somehow says don't look at the battle beyond this stage because this must be settled here and now. Orochi's head was also shown this chapter and seeing this two things popped into my mind. Firstly is the ever present question of whether Orochi is indeed dead or not and secondly if he is his devil fruit must have resurfaced somewhere and could now be possibly in the hands of CPO. A quick question to you guys do you think that's a robin spy clone in the back and speaking of spies we gained information of what's happening in the battle more generally and the fact that 400 out of the total 5400 of the alliance have already been taken down whereas the beast pirates have lost 3 000 out of their 30 000. More interestingly this information was told through a shamisen player who has the same single eye symbol drawn on a mask covering her face that Baohang also has. The way that she says Al when referring to the beast pirates implies she's a part of Kaito's crew which also makes sense as Baohang reports to Kaito directly but this did make me wonder why is she sharing information with CPO. To my understanding CPO was partnered with Orochi not with Kaito directly so did the world government secret agents implant their own spies within Kaito's crew? Anyways apart from showing that CPO is present in this battlefield to pick up the pieces the scene also added much importance to the other players of this battle by emphasizing that the other members of the alliance the straw hats in particular must defeat Kaito's executives for this battle to be won because whilst the focus on previous chapters were against the Yonko we can't forget that there are other fighters on the enemy's troops powerful enough to eliminate a huge number of the alliance at once. We get a brief update of the straw hats and heart pirates but the ones that stood out to me are Sanji and Tama apart from my general excitement at that tease the matchup between Frankie and Sasaki. Hey I'm a simple person but seriously Sanji because out of all of the other straw hats shown his panel seems to be the most unclear in terms of what he's doing as he seems to be now running having been tied up the last time we saw him so has Sanji escaped and now on the run from Black Maria's crew and how did he escape? And in Tama's case this caught my attention because in addition to the way she's pointing which is unclear whether she's pointing Nami and Usopp to the right direction perhaps has something to do with her plan or if she's directing someone perhaps the beast pirates she has turned to the alliance aside this caught my attention because of the go board used in this chapter it's no secret that Wano's theme is based on games from card games to board games but the interesting thing is that in go one of the objectives is capturing your opponent's stones which can be achieved by surrounding them with your stones but this actually made me think of Shogi as in the Shogi game you can actually capture one's piece and then use it as your own which is an analogy of how Tama's power works once she subdues the beast pirates she can become their master and control them as part of the alliance's forces so Tama could both use her ability like in go where she can capture beast pirates but also use it to command them under her will like in Shogi and to see this little brave warrior command her own troop of beasts will be delightful in my opinion moving on to where the chapter ended with finally the reveal or well kind of a reveal of Kaito's hybrid form in silhouette and I could not be more excited we have seen how durable Kaito is in his dragon form so it's hard to imagine just how much he'll be able to tank in his hybrid form if Oda continues the trend of picking up his chapters with the last one left off it may just be possible we will see Kaito's hybrid form as early as next week which I'm not completely sure about seeing as Oda also returned to the other stages of the battlefield in this chapter so perhaps he may revisit some of the other players and he's just teasing us with Kaito's hybrid form which is to come later all I can say is I agree with the Yonko and we'll have to take their words because this is fun indeed and speaking of fun we should also mention the cute and fun cover story we saw this chapter where Reiju was gifted a cactus flower by an enamored scorpion which I think is a sweet note on which we should end today's review feel free to stick around to watch my reactions if that's your type of thing but also please share your thoughts on the progression of this battle by leaving a comment below please also like and share if you enjoyed today's video
