Speculations How much chapters left for Elbaph?
- Thread starter Hako Sama
- Start date
Hmm...y'know, there's probably only around 12 more chapters left this year. And Oda DID seem to want to get to The Man Marked By Flames this year, which will probably involve the next arc. So, it is possible, if unlikely, that Elbaph could end faster than we think.
I want to say we don't have a ton left. But...I've saying that for 30 chapters, now. And Oda's been wrong about his predictions for the next year, before. So, yeah, at this point I do think Elbaph is going to continue on to next year.
Because we do still have quite a bit left to cover. Zoro's fight. Sanji's fight. Any Usopp moment we may still get. Luffy and Loki's fight. The reveal of Loki's hybrid form. Gunko's side of the flashback. Robin and Chopper translating the animals. Anything we want to do with Franky and the Ancient Lab. Vegapunk coming back online. Whatever Scopper's message to the Strawhats will be at the end of the arc. Any reveal we want to have about those shrouded figures who were protecting Loki early on in the arc. The Heaven/Astral Realm. Why we shouldn't be lingering on Elbaph. Any sort of training they might want to do. Robin saying her goodbye to Saul. Any reveal about what's been happening in the outside world while the Strawhats have been busy.
So, yeah...at this point I'm guessing we have around 20 chapters. This will probably end up being the third longest arc, so far. And even that might be low-balling things. I do think Oda wants to move ahead. But, he has written a LOT into this arc, which is going to require a slightly longer epilogue to the arc, at this point. But, we'll see. I could see Oda having a twist for us, so it might not be too long, but...it's probably still got a bit left in it.

I would say about 10 or so chapters. There's a lot that could be hypothetically done, but it's pretty clear that Oda's interest this arc was on Imu, and not really anything with the Giants. Imu has already wrecked everyone major this arc, so there's not really much more for him to do. We have an idea about his powers and some vague understanding of his motives. I don't really think Luffy will get a major round 2 with him this arc either
With this week's chapter, Elbaph reached 65 chapters, and it's about to surpass Skypiea.
Plots we still have left(not in order):
- Luffy vs. Imu Round 2
- Zoro vs. Sommers
- Sanji vs. Killingham
- Loki coming back to the fight/Hybrid full reveal.
- Gunko side plot if she awakens.
- Elbaph's mysterious Heaven World.
- Where's the Last Road Poneglyph
I guess Oda gonna insert the typical contextual chapters to know some not so important stuff, like what Jarul and the giants are doing, some screen time for the Strawhats, Vegapunk shit...
