These articles always baffle me. Like, why do they act like "knowing the ending in advance" is special, when it's literally one of the very first things us writers actually think about?
Lol I don't believe that is true for Naruto or Bleach

No, I don't think they have ever meet.
Mangaka wise Oda is close too:
Kishimoto (Naruto), Toriyama (Dragon Ball) and Inoue (Slam Dunk, Vagabond)
There are others but these are the three he seemingly closest too.
He wrote a story , so he's a writerThe keyword is artist. Kubo never is, or was, an actual writer or Storyline person. He just had a cool design and thought "Whoa, I'ma write a Mangaaaa".
He wrote a story , so he's a writer
he just wasn't that good at it in the end
ohhhh no i was thinking about how people like kubo could manage to flounder their way through a multi-year series without considering the ending.The power levels mean nothing to where Oda wants to take the story though. "The One Piece is this, and Luffy finds it when he's old after a long journey and is, himself, a Pirate King" is an Ending that really doesn't need anything else behind it, other than him knowing the goal of his MC's journey.
Obviously things change along the way and the stuff gets more detailed, but that's not at all exclusive to what I've been saying.
"Naruto becomes Hokage and has a kid!" is a pretty easy and obvious ending to pick though. For Bleach I agree, but Kubo isn't a writer, just someone who can draw cool pictures and thought he could drop a story.

I mean, yeah, but that's pretty basic.
The path to that ending and the details concerning it often change as the story evolves, so it's nice to hear a writer at this point has one mostly solidified. Nobody is shocked "Luffy gets One Piece" or whatever is already in Oda's mind.
Well...no, no it's not. Plenty of people start without an ending in mind.
Eh, Naoki Urasawa and Inio Asano are both way more talented both at writing and art. Oda just has 1 good shonen manga.
Yeah, that's not happening unless wano is the second from last arc, lol. Even if that is the case, whole cake island took almost two full years alone and I don't see why wano and the following arc would be that much shorter
That means we are really dang close to the end. This coming from a guy that has been reading weekly since Thriller Bark, back in the mid-to-high 300s. I'm nowhere near ready for the thought that One Piece is ending.In the same article, Oda stated that the series would end with just over 100 volumes.. If that's true, I'd say we have 2 years~ to go.

It's not necessarily standard for manga, especially considering it's weekly or monthly and there's no real guarantee the work will be popular enough to last or even get picked up. At best, they have a path, plan, and ending in mind, but it's more than likely that at most they have a concept they can use as a guiding point towards an end game.These articles always baffle me.

Hasn't he made these comments before? He's always said the One Piece isn't "friendship" or "the journey" and that it's a real thing.
I stopped watching a little way into when they are on that stupid elephant.
This story going anywhere? Honestly, this thing is getting so predictable.
Luffy saves another community from some asshole.
I feel like skipping these arcs to just get to the point between arcs. It seems like that's the only place where actual story happens.
Also doesn't help I've been spoiled by good animating anime lately.
The progression is faster but the story arcs are still the same. I think One Piece isn't for them.

I'm curious as to what about One Piece that you're liking if you reached that far.I got up to the elephant.....What episode is that? 800?
Yeah, OP isn't for me clearly, haha.

Jeph Loeb is that you?Fuji TV went on to ask how the artist would react if a fan were to correctly guess the ending he's got in mind. Stubborn, Oda said he would have to change his ending if that were to happen, so it seems he is confident that no one will figure out where the Straw Hats will end up.
Yes, if you were to refer to villains as bosses in a video game Luffy will be fighting the 3rd or 4th from the end this arc u less some new world power gets introduced. And the animes pace is terrible.I stopped watching a little way into when they are on that stupid elephant.

Also the fruit reappears after the person who ate it is dead.There really isn't a devil tree considering all the fruits are different.

Luffy doesnt care for money.I love his attitude towards the One Piece being friendship or some other bullshit.
No, It's a fucking treasure!
Luffy doesnt care for money.
I think the treasure will be something different for everybody. Luffy will be pirate king. Sanji will have all the fish etc from all the seas to cook. Zorro will be the best sword fighter etc.
