Questions & Mysteries Will One Piece’s Ending Be Satisfying or leave people Unsatisfied?

[Roo]

They were right. FMAB had a mid ending. The original anime ending was far more on the ball with the central theme of the series.

The manga/FMAB was just convenience.

Disagreed. The 03 series was good on its own but FMAB>

The story was never this hardcore lesson on equivalent exchange which 03 seemed to harp on lol

That’s the point is that Edward had to learn the lesson One is All and All is One. He learned the idea of it as a child but not the truth behind the truth.

Father was nothing more than someone trying to become the all, rather than be a part of it and that the equivalent exchange was nothing more than a lie because in the end it was never equivalent as even Alphonse and Ed’s theorem at the end of the story was explaining.

Exactly lol

I think Zenzu misses that the whole equivalent exchange thing is a vehicle to hammer consequences of Ed and Al missing the point. It is not the theme of the story itself

FMA original anime was sadder and was unique but no doubt FMAB > FMA

satisfying for oda dick riders

unsatisfying for oda haters

meh for the rest

I don’t think we will be satisfied. Because our expectations are too high, and the waiting time is too long. As we wait, especially during One Piece's breaks, we start to think about a lot of things. For it to be truly satisfying, the treasure of One Piece needs to be based on a really funny story, and the dreams of Luffy and Roger have to be as interesting and fresh. Right now, that doesn’t seem very likely.

FMA's current reception remains overwhelmingly positive, imo, including its ending.

The thing with FMA is that it barely even falls under “long-running” shounen nowadays. 64 episodes is hardly something people would complain is dragged out.

That boat has sailed for One Piece with over 1000 episodes. A good chunk of the fanbase is guaranteed to be disappointed no matter what because we are now looking at a minimum of 1300 episodes (and that’s being extremely generous).

Oda has shot himself in the foot dragging it out this long.

This is no longer about pirates being pirates and seeking world greatest treasure . Now finding one piece is requirement before final war with WG.

Sometimes keeping things simple is the best solution.

the manga did run for 9 years, lol. But OP will be significantly longer then that

If we're talking about the general population of One Piece readers, yes, they will glorify the shit out of it.

Worstgen, no chance in hell. That shit will be ass.

 

[Kakooli]

wan piss will be empty box...gol 3 roger laughed because he trick teh world into searching for something that isn't there...

then luffy x scar will glow and mecha heart will jump out of his chest

 

[ElderOnitar]

Wano alone is decently longer than the entirety of Fullmetal alchemist, wow.

 

[Akagame]

There’s no ending that would be satisfying because Oda is introducing too many characters and has no consistency. No way all of these characters we love get the endings they deserve. The Straw Hats don’t even talk about their dreams or interact past meme moments. Panels are wasted endlessly. I respect Oda but his pacing and his payoffs are usually underwhelming, more so after the time skip. I’m not expecting anything great from the ending. The One Piece treasure will probably be some laughing “gotcha” moment gag.

If it's to satisfy the casual audience, yes

If it's to satisfy the redditors, yes

If it's to satisfy the hardcore audience, maybe

If it's to satisfy this forum, no

If most popular shonen manga endings have given us any clue, then no

The only thing this forum cares about are powerscaling agendas and to some degree portrayal. M3 agenda is already safe. Primebeard agenda is pristine. BM agenda has prime version and/or awakening. Kaido agenda has awakening. Shanks agenda is all-time high rn. Teach agenda is having 3 DFs + awakening. Sakazuki carries the Admiral agenda on his back unless other Admirals show awakening

 

[D. Plant]

It will be difficult to satisfy everyone.

The One Piece treasure will probably be some laughing “gotcha” moment gag.

I have a feeling that the One Piece treasure is a very simple thing, something that Oda already told us on Egghead.

Can't deny One Piece being overlong tbh.

A bit OOT: Wano has more chapters than all of FMA, but anybody who thinks Wano is better than FMA deserves to be ridiculed endlessly.

 

[ZoroFan23]

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is about the only manga that satisfied me with its ending out of the 105 manga I have completed. I don't have much hope for One Piece, but then again I'm mainly reading it for Zoro hype.

 

[park_min young]

FMA is a monthly issue, more pages

 

[Dark-Abel]

Everyone will love it and it will bring peace to the entire world

 

[Senfret]

The important thing is not actually the end but the path. If you don't enjoy one piece now it won't probably change in the future. There are plenty of people around here that think that their opinion is somehow relevant... If you are not enjoying One piece, simply drop it. It's not the best history ever written, but it's probably the best adventure Shonen manga. If you think you can do better... I don't know what's holding you up...

 

[vikas]

I am already unsatisfied idk if I even care about its ending, I mean its not a series where some interesting ending will happen anyway.

Most will probably be satisfied for the fact that it ended I guess...I don't know if anyone is expecting its ending to be something unexpected or anything like that. Will be a typical shounen ending.
