Questions & Mysteries The end really feels close now

[AverageBuggyEnjoyer]

Are we in the endgame? Yes

Is this "endgame" going to end anytime before the next 8-10 years? No lol

 

[BoaHancocksHusband]

One Piece will end before Diary of a Wimpy Kid

 

[HerreraIsBack]

chupa

There he

One Piece will end before Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I can't wait until Diary of a Wimpy Kid becomes a sci-fi thriller about a boy stuck in a time loop of middle school

People lowballed 100 chapters, 100 chapters ago lol.

All the 1200 enders disappeared as of last year once that ship sailed.

1300 aint it. 1400 at this point is essentially rushing ironically. 1500 might get us there comfortably if Oda locks the fuck in and gets us out of Elbaph in 30 chapters

true

 

[Cruxroux]

At the very least 2 arc remains.
100+ chapterd each.
That's already 1400+ chapters lol.

 

[BoaHancocksHusband]

true

It’s going to be 1300.

 

[Paperchampion23]

It’s going to be 1300.

120 chapters? For Imu, Blackbeard, Akainu, Shamrock, Shanks, Dragon and only a 100 other important characters? Nah. We wont even be out of Elbaph before 1200

I have a feeling this forum is going to be surprised at how abruptly it’s going to end. A lot of cope that there’s more to come like 5 years minimum. Not happening. I give 3-4 tops

There might be 5 years min with amount chapters we get per year now.
Last 2 years was 30 chapters a year .
It might not be a lot of chapters left but a long time with the amount chapters we get per year .

Oda will keep going until he ends up in the hospital. It should've been over by now.

Chapter 1500

 

[AkagamiNoVinsmoke]

It’s going to be 1300.

I’m going by the 3 way timeskip. 500 chapters for each leading up to 1300-1500+

Funny is how Ive seen this comment the last 6 years and we are still no end in sight so keep up that confidence I guess? Lol
If theres one thing Oda hasnt done in nearly 30 years, its rush the actual progression of his story.

Edit: Literally have comments like this from 2020 (pre- chapter 1000) talking about this series ending by 1500 lol. 200 chapters and 6 years later my mindset hasnt changed about this at all. We are still not even in the final arc and we know we have multiple left after Elbaph.

Funny seeing comments like this again:

That we aren't even close to the end lol. Like at all.

I actually consider Wano to be possibly the end of only 2/3rds of One Piece. There's just way to much shit to do and Oda, not once, as has ever really tried to rush the ongoings of his story (save for combining certain arcs, etc. which just made those arcs even longer than needed tbh). I'm honestly expecting the series to hit 1400-1500 chapters by the end. This will be a shock to people, but once we finish Wano and we inch closer to Chapter 1100, people will realize how much this story actually needs to address and how little Wano actually achieves (defeating a Yonko or not)

So yes, I see another 10 years of OP easily, especially as we get closer to the end and Oda to quite literally combine all facets of his story together for one final, massive arc (which may even be 150-200 chapters in on itself). Imagine that this "final arc" doesn't even begin within the next 100-200 chapters if there are more arcs before it lol.


To compare: Naruto's "final arc" was nearly 30% of its whole story, trying to tie together ALL of its lose ends and characters before it ended. Now imagine One Piece trying to do the same, with a world that is much bigger than Naruto's and an overwhelming wealth of characters that have been setup for this final conflict. Now realize that we aren't even on this final arc or the fact that there will likely be other arcs before it and after Wano. Then realize that we aren't even close to finishing Wano to even get to that point.

2020 was six years ago and Oda is ageing, your expectations are not realistic and the story itself is signaling it.

it’s like the argument may have been valid pre Wano but you can’t keep extending the length with that logic forever

Oda is 50. Chill. There are mangaka in their 70s and 80s writing weekly manga still.

And if you read my post, Im not extending anything. 1500 is the magic number and has been to me for half a decade because the story merits it. Being negative isnt an argument. If something happens, its out of anyones control, but Oda doesnt rush plot progression, and thats been clear the last 6 years.

….There are much younger mangaka who can’t handle the weekly schedule long term. Your comments on that alone feels out of touch with the work load. You can’t generalize how long anyone wants to go, and Oda has been doing it for a long time and managing many projects and a titan sized IP.

OP won’t go as long as you hope. I am just being realistic

Im fully aware of what Oda goes through? I was aware of when he had Tonsilitis in 2014 and began reducing his workload on the manga, receiving breaks every 6-8 chapters. That has since slowly increased to every 2-4 chapters and thats been consistent the last 5 years.

The difference between other young mangaka and what Oda is currently is that they never took care of themselves or had other debilitating issues that purely come from luck of the draw. Yes, Oda is lucky even after excessive smoking and eating bad. But he also takes care of himself these days due to health scares, he has talked about this.

Anyway, Ive been hearing the same shit from people like you for more than a decade now, saying it would have ended 5 years ago at this point due to x reason. Yet here we are, with it not ending at all in the near future because the story isnt finished

You arent being realistic, you are being pessimistic. Being realistic is knowing how this mangaka has operated for 30 years. He's just getting to all of his big characters that hes been hyping for the majority of the manga. That takes time to go through.

If he doesnt finish, or is forced to rush due to health issues, thats one thing, but saying he'll rush it because you are being "realistic" is wrong when literally every estimation about this series ending has been wrong in the last decade, with no sign of it ending still or being near an actual ending point.
