General & Others When did people realize that One Piece was gonna be very, very long?

[lamar4]

As the title said. I mean obviously at chapter 1 people didn't know already that it would take over twenty years.
Did Oda make that 5 years statement before One Piece lasted that long and when it still was ongoing on its 5th anniversary, people knew?

Obviously, there probably isn't a singular fixed point where people started realizing it, but there could have been some timeframe, when "Wow One Piece is (gonna be) long" started to gain more and more traction 192.168.0.1 router login .

Also, what other superlong series have a subreddit, so I can ask them the same question? Although a series that probably had this line of thought appear earlier might have been blue lock.

After Water 7 arc

After ch 100(I knew it was going to be a 400+ ch). When I noticed it took oda 100 chapters for the straw hats to go from east blue to the entrance of the grand line

When a major plot line took 12+ years to be finish. Yeah that the takedown of Kaido + Big Mom starting with the end of fishman island...

Lol when it took 200 chapters to defeat 1 Shichibukai and then it took 400 chapters to even introduce the concept of Yonko.

This only got "worse" when the 500s introduced the remaining admirals, only to replace 2 of them soon after in the timeskip but then keep all 5 relevant.


Now sitting at 1100 chapters and there are still more factions left than anything that has come before (though Im sure Oda is resolving most of them in a big war and not any individual arcs)

On one hand I guess it was after Skypea, and so Water 7, that Oda decided to make the manga way longer (since it was selling like hot cakes) and si he started to retcon stuff like Croco (bounty and levels of power compared to other warlords).

Then it was clear that the end of Marineford arc was a milestone which landed at chapter 600 and it was pretty clear it was the "half" milestone so you could already expect the manga to last 1200 chapters. Now most likely Oda has even lengthened that 1200 it seems he originally planned.

When I realized the first one hundred chapters was just the prologue.

Exactly, 100 chapters just to get out of their backyard lol.
