I don't know why people are mad about other people's chapter ratings. It's all perspective. For me, 1044 wasn't even a 100/10, despite the big spoiler warning notice beforehand. All the Reverie chapters before the Wano Kuni arc started were 100/10s for me. The giant frozen straw hat, I'm Sama, the Gorosei ready to distinguish a light, Revs infiltrating Marie Joa, Shanks arriving out of nowhere in Marie Joa and Doflamingo mentioning the treasure of Marie Joa. It was one mystery after another.
Roger's flashback/laugh tale reveal, and of course chapter 957, "Ultimate" ! The first time we heard about rocks. All surpass 1044 for me personally. Doesn't mean that 1044 wasn't hype.
