Eiichiro Oda talks about 'One Piece' ending
- Thread starter Chrno
- Start date
"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.
He wrote a story , so he's a writer
he just wasn't that good at it in the end
You're not a writer just because you can write a poem on a napkin.
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.
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.
Other than their introductions I hope Franky and Brook have an emotional arc in the series(which given their backstories they probably will). They just feel like they're there and haven't done much.
Of course, exceptions make the rule.
Of course it's basic, it evolves during where you actually flesh out the story. But normally where it goes is one of the easiest and most helpful things to think of when you actually write a story.
Well, yeah, it's exactly that way. It's a basic writing trope that most writers know the beginning and ending to a journey.
5-7 more years, that's it. After Wano, will probably be 2 more arcs, with 100 chapters each more or less, ending it likely on 1200. Blackbeard, Shanks and the Admirals will probably be key characters in the final arc, so they won't get their own.
Also, Satoshi Mizukami
...maybe not on the art part tho.

Plus Luffy is nowhere near high enough on the food chain to be a credible candidate as Pirate King yet. The press may be calling him the Fifth Emperor, but considering how Kaidou just gave him the business and he doesn't actually command his "armada" he still has a ways to go.
No way in hell this ends in 2-3 years, Wano is only getting started and considering WCI already lasted around or longer than that, and considering there are at least 1-2 major arcs before the final saga, which itself considering its going to tie together the whole OP is going to be the longest one yet, i really can't see this being any shorter than 6-7 years imo.
Besides, we have been in the last major stuff since Dressrosa.
We already know who some of the strawhats will end up with :P

Glad to know the treasure will actually be something, because I would've been angry if it was something lame like an ideology, lol.
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.
OP
OP
as a lot of people here mentioned, Oda is usually very tongue-in-cheek during interviews that include the remaining length of the series.
I bet we have at least another 4-5 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.
Well, granted, it's more a thing for storyline manga, and not Shounen Manga, still nothing I'd ever feign any surprise for.
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.
Yea it's been pretty clear these last few years that One Piece has started entering the end game. I've made my thoughts clear on the matter in the One Piece OT as to what I think is going to happen after Wano. So I just gotta wonder if we will get two more big arcs. Or one big arc and a few smaller ones to end the story.
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 should, shouldn't I?
I got up to the elephant.....What episode is that? 800?
Yeah, OP isn't for me clearly, haha.
Honestly, as someone who has felt the same way as he has, WCI isn't going to solve it. After WCI it got a lot better though!
Can you imagine if the ending was "The treasure was the journey" bullshit? Would instantly be riots in the streets!!!
Wano will most likely be 3 years. Dressrosa of all arcs was 2 and that was just a build up arc to this.
It will not end soon. The lore he has built with this series is amazing and there's a lot we have heard about and still not seen.
I'm curious as to what about One Piece that you're liking if you reached that far.
Why is Zunisha stupid, what did the elephant ever do to you
It is very ironic that you say that right as you reach the Zou arc.
There really isn't a devil tree considering all the fruits are different.
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.
Also the fruit reappears after the person who ate it is dead.
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.
