General & Others Oda's biggest mistake
- Thread starter Midnight Delight
- Start date
He never acts like he has the whole thing figured out. Only that he has the ending planned out in his mind. In fact he even admits that he doesn't have anything figured out. So not sure where you get the impression that, that is how he acts.
Q: To the reader, it’s amazing to think about the fact that you had Brook’s story planned out when you first introduced Laboon. Exactly how far ahead do you plan One Piece, and what is your story-planning technique?
EO: I only have the ending of One Piece in my mind, and nothing else. But knowing the end point, I weave the story and make story arcs that build up to it.

Part of this is why i truly believe the conclusion has to do with Shanks. Hes the only other major character conceived from the beginning of the series, unlike BB (teased 150 chapters in), Akainu (teased 300 chapters in) or Im (teased 900 chapters in).
Though, that goes along with the idea that you have to believe Shanks is not 100% a good person, and many people here have a hard time believing that. But IF Oda truly has had his ending planned from the beginning with minimal changes, Shank's character is the only constant in all of this. Hell, Zoro's final goal (Mihawk) only seems to be associated with Shanks and his crew.

One example..
Shabaodoby arc was supposed different, his editor back then said that the arc needed something else and the supernovas were created.
I think the idea was great initially but it ended up being too much for the story I mean if I recall well Oda said that is hard to place and use them.
( Plus I think their existence is the reason the SHs are not used properly)
So if the idea of an editor did all of this then damm we what else is currently in the story thanks to them ( good or bad).

Big Meme and her crew, ESPECIALLY them coming to Wano.
Overloading Wano with 10,000 characters.
Most Post TS antagonists, Doflamingo's crew in particular was a huge disappointment.
Doflamingo shifting from a Joker type villain into a clone of Crocodile with a god complex.
Kaido becoming the King of the Hostages in his fight with Eiichiro Oden.
The Great Cake Chase.
The Rikus and the Dwarfs.
The Kozukis and Toki the plot device/McMuffin.
The time travel twist, really don't think we needed it.
Kyoshiro being Denjiro.
The growing chosen one bullshit revolving around Luffy.

The concept of the Supernovas weren't created back then. He already had them in mind and was going to bring them into the fold in the New World, but the editors told him he needed to spice up Sabaody, so he created the characters and introduced them there.
Oda has never hid this concept from the fandom. He's been building up to this since One Piece's inception. Not like a certain other series that dropped that bomb halfway through the final arc.
