Well, nobody made him stretch this story out for 25 fucking years, so I find it hard to fully sympathize with the guy when he a) chose this job/life, and b) has the power to end his story whenever he wants. If I hate my job and it affects my health, I quit and find another one, and I don’t have the kind of safety net that the curator of a very profitable franchise would. I’ve had some variation of this conversation many times over the years, I’m just not convinced that Oda can’t do anything about his situation and that we need to give him a perpetual pass for it
