One Piece 649 wasn’t brilliant, for a big exultant climax to an arc, normally something Oda does so well. This felt a bit by-the-numbers, though the final twist was interesting and possibly leads us to another interesting arc.

Naruto 566 was short and mostly rubbish. All the different tailed beasts should have made for a real spectacle, but the only spectacular part was when Kakashi and Gai showed up, which let’s face it is nothing new for the title.
