General & Others Why Oda wants to make all of SH an Orphan?

[Boiroy]

Luffy- mom probably died, a dad who doesn't give an F about his son. (might die in his fight against the WG)
Zoro- both parents are gone.
Sanji- Mom died, dad is a bastard. (judge might sacrifice himself in the end)
Usopp-Same as above (Yasopp might be killed by BBP)
Nami- her adopted mother died.
Robin- both parents are gone.
Chopper- same as above
Franky-Same as above
Brook-Same as above
Jinbe- Same as above
Vivi-likely going to suffer the same fate

 

[Natalija]

Probably cause tragedy makes heroes.

Well there was no tragedy with Zoro since Zoro neither cares or was seemingly affected by this

Oda simply did this with zoro because he has no other ideas

Oda said that mother is the opposite of adventure

The mother would not allow her children to do dangerous things while she was still alive

For the family theme of the strawhats, to hit harder.

 

[Punk Rotten]

The idea of a chosen family is strong in this series

It’s not visible tragedy per se, but if you’re an orphan you’re automatically having a tragic life from the start.

Parents are anti-advuntre

 

[Adam 🍎]

Cause parents are a hassle to write

I write DnD plots and short stories from time to time and if you wanna write good parents it is really difficult.

Parents are protective so they will always butt heads in the plot when in reality plot doesn't need them.

So that's why authors decide one of the following

1. Parents dead - You remove a plot piece and save yourself time (OP, Kingdom, Naruto)
2. Parents alive but harmless - They are in the plot but won't be part of it because their inability to act would cause hindrance to the MC (MHA)
3. Parents are evil - Best option because this way you can actually write parents but idk many manga stories that have this
4. Parents are alive, good and capable but have their own story - Surprisingly popular in manga world ( HxH, Bleach)

It saves you time which is smth authors struggle with

To create the usual underdog sad story and make the rise up more enjoyable. If on the contrary they were all spoiled brats born with a spoon in their mouth then people wouldn't have rooted for them. Also makes more sense for people who is hungry to fight more than the others and reach the top (in an "ideal" world)(that is also why every top tier in OP had a rough childhood for me).

 

[garciajulieen]

As for Brook it's kinda normal, how old do you think their parents are if they're still alive lol

 

[vikas]

Chopper- same as above

His parents are probably alive..

 

[Boiroy]

His parents are probably alive..

Or hunted for meat 😳😨

 

[OnePiss]

Half these characters have adopted families as well

friends along the way type beat

 

[Herrera95]

For what reason someone would become a pirate if that person had dad, mother, a good childhood, lived happy...

 

[Jackteo]

It is Shanks' design

 

[Rob Luffy]

My origins story

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

kinda the story with pirates in the series in general
the ones who did (i.e law) ended up losing them

Nah adopted people aren’t considered tragic by default. A specific tragedy with a specific effect must happen
