In his latest interview Oda came up with a few interesting lines. Aside from the fact the he blatantly admitted that he - and I quote - "made Chopper a mascot character", Oda also once again came up with a timeline on the ending of OP. He said "I know I've been wrong with my estimations in the past, but I really want to end OP in 3 years. That's the plan!"

:okay: :choppawhat:


My question to all of you: Where was the point, when Oda decided "Just fuck it, I will end this shit asap and enjoy real life!"

Can you actually pinpoint that? This would interest me, what are your guesses?


I'll quote myself from another thread:

"Because honestly, if Oda indeed plans to end OP in 3 years like he said, it will go down in history as the biggest letdown ever delivered (at least for a fictional story).

Heck, I can already see the showrunners of GoT celebrating, because their ending would look great in comparison.

3 years equals about 100 chapters with Oda's current output (33-35 chapters per year).

This would mean OP - having all of the actual meat and interesting parts of the story left - would end in about the same amount of chapters that the raid on Onigashima or mere setup arcs like Dressrosa or WCI took, lol."

Skimmed through your profile you are quite miserable. If you don’t like Odas way of writing style, pace or story decisions why don’t you just stop reading? I’m not trying to insult you at all but you’re so negative towards this series why bother reading it?
In my opinion One Piece is great and the ending will be awesome, I’m sure of that.

i think, when he says "end" he just means that the one piece is found and thus the most exciting part is over, the doesn't mean that literally the last chapter comes out. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FYUHN_aWAAANFKT?format=jpg&name=small

This was the assumption when he first said it a while ago.

He comes up with it again this interview and really makes it sound like it's over for good once the One Piece is found.

He's actually pretty straight forward in that regard.

I'll continue reading it, because I've been reading it for ages.

Older fans will remember me from other (long forgotten) forums, where I was actually positive most of the time.

The reason I criticize OP so often these days is simple: The writing has gone downhill in a hurry.

On the other hand, I also emphasize that it's still a fun read if you switch off your brain and don't think about the writing too much.

If you feel bad while reading my criticism, just ignore it or block me.

However, I won't stop speaking my opinion here just bc some feelings are hurt.

These interviews are just filler fluff pieces. The questions are always uninsoired and the two author always wank each other off. In this case it was Oda and the Conan guy.

If you really are serious in your concern, I would take a step back and read Oda's previous estimations. The guy is lousy to say the least. Truth be told, the last time he said there were 5 years left was at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020 but that still doesn't mean we have 3 years left.

Knowing his track record so far, we will still have a lot of detours in the story and a few more years until the end.

How in any way is this *constructive* criticism though? You’re just venting anger towards Chopper being a “mascot” and Oda saying he wants to finish the story in 3 years - what you’re doing here is not criticism it’s just you trying to find other people that agree with you and create a circle jerk thread… Pointless.

“Long forgotten” - a year and a half ago. I do remember you from there, you were also negative there.

What are you talking about?

If you don't understand how Oda admitting turning Chopper into a mere mascot and scratching any character development for him is a desastrous decision, we can stop talking right away.

As for your nonsense about "the other forums": Pal, I've been actively discussing OP since 2006.

If you just can't deal with people having some criticism or flat out negative opinions about the writing in OP, you should really leave this place.

Eh, who cares? :few:
35-40 chapters a year x 3 = 105 - 120, let's just put this series out of it's misery and move on. The only thing that keeps me from dropping this series are the unresolved plot points (Void century, ancient weapons, will of D, etc.) and the final fights (Strawhats vs BB crew, final war) and hopefully getting some sort of closure with the few characters I see still care about like Brook and Zoro.

No more filler like the scabbards, no more useless princesses and he can probably do it in 3 years, the BBP will probably be the most underdeveloped enemy crew in the story but at this point I don't even care.

It can be done in 3 years but most likely 4 or 5 the most

3 years, 4 years it's just a rough estimate.

Considering Wano is 146 chapters, the final arc is probably 150. Still feasible to end it even with 100 chapters if only focusing on few plot points and not dragging fights too much, while off screening side characters.
