_"Every strawhat can become protagonist."_Comickers (1998)
Say what? Is this a reference to Usopp's fight with Luffy?
To be specific,
Oda: ONE PIECE is still in a prologue.
I'd like to create the personalities of strawhats carefully so that all of them could become a protagonist. I wonder how cool they will look when they stand in a row. -
I don't know if it's region locked or not, Germany and Japan share the same DVD regions so I had no problems playing it on my laptop.

after reading all this I am afraid one piece will end soon and the only islands we see are Zou, Wano, Elbaf, Big Battle and Raftel.
I want more but shorter arcs like Jaya, Drum and Logue Town.

As often as I say "With that pace I will still read One Piece when I'm 40", but I actually want to read One Piece till I'm 40…I think no arcs will be as short as Little Garden or Drum were anymore. Everything in the New World is grander than it was back in the Grand Line. Though I like the idea of Zou being a shorter arc. I am not averse to the idea that most of this arc will take place in the past and we will see how everything happened and then what Nami, Chopper, Brook and Sanji did. That would put all of them in the spotlight which they obviously didn't get much during Dressrosa once they left. In the present, the Straw Hats are already heroes and some events will obviously still be happening to keep it interesting, but not that much. Zou will mainly be a transition to Wano, where the Kaidou plot really resumes.
I am also sometimes a bit worried that we won't get to see many islands besides Wano, Elbaf and Raftel. I'd like to see at least 2 more islands beside those.

As often as I say "With that pace I will still read One Piece when I'm 40", but I actually want to read One Piece till I'm 40…It will take 10 years at minimum to complete so around 2025 but i agree we would like to see more of the grandlines shorter arcs again be it just for exploring purposes and not plot related.
There are many interesting islands to explore such as the lightning island where Urouge was and the magnetic island that sucked Capone Bege's ship. Then again It wont be happening as we saw foodvalten island with Brownbeard only 2-3 paged and the kid killing some pirates on island during timeskip so we wont be able to see it all :|. -
Oda had a notebook with Whole Cake island on it. We may get an arc there.

-

Since Vergo mentioned it while speaking to Doffy, yes we did.
Also we expected Zou since Kinemon/ Law mentioned it after PH ended.
So now we expect Wano after Zou (though I would love for Strawhats to go to Holy Land now).
-
I don't call an island introduced one arc earlier a foreshadowed destination.
Fuzi11 feels like Oda is rushing towards the hot spot of Grandline like Elbaf and Raftel. But he really isn't.
You can't say that when all the post TS islands we've seen so far were introduced post TS. -

We didn't expect Dressrosa during Fishman island (which was 2 arcs earlier), so who's to say another island won't pop up.

Fujitv will show an interview of Oda on Dec 29th. http://www.fujitv.co.jp/b_hp/151229sugoihito/index.html
The interview reveals a mangaka that Oda is jealous of. The mangaka is the author of a currently very popular manga. Oda talks about why he likes that manga.
http://news.walkerplus.com/article/70145/The show interviews celebrities who are jealous of another celebrity working in the same field. This episode features 6 celebrities. Oda is the one in the manga field.
http://www.fujitv.co.jp/fujitv/news/pub_2015/i/151226-i264.htmlWill anybody try to find the video and share with us once it's released?
It sounds very interesting, although Oda probably won't show his face.
-
Sounds iteresting, yes and I hope someone will share this
Also hope he doesn't speak about Toriyama
-
It shouldn't be Toriyama. They made in the comment very specifically that it's a currently very active and popular manga. Sounds like it's still on going, which means it's not DB.
A lot of people guess it will be One Punch Man.
-
The way that he words it, and the fact that it would be kind of lame of him to envy a team, makes me think that it's going to be a solo author.

I've got access to Japanese TV, so I'll get a recording when it airs.

@Galaxy:

Galaxy you rock! It will start in 2 hours or so.
-
I guess we're not betting or anything, but I'm gonna say he's jealous of Horikoshi, because knowing Oda I guess he'd really, really like to try and make a super hero manga, and My Hero Academia IS very successful right now.

Galaxy! You are SUPER! Watching right now!

松岡茉優 absolutely gorgeous!

Unexpected. LOL. Anyway, it is also a great manga, though not shonen manga.
Thank you Galaxy! Still interested in having that video.

I've just finished watching the TV program.
The manga Oda is jealous of turned out to be "Your Lie in April" by Naoshi Arakawa.-
Oda is impressed with the manga since it expressed "music" thoroughly despite manga in general not being a good medium for it at all.
-
Oda sometimes searches "interesting mangas" on the internet. He usually gives up reading the mangas at volume 1 or 2 since he doesn't much free time.
-
But Oda spent much time on reading all volumes of "Your Lie in April". He was about to miss the deadline of his manuscript.
-
Oda: "Your Lie in April" has a unique sense of distance that Japanese people sometimes show in film and illustration. His illustration is so great that I don't want to switch my eyes to the next panel.
-
Oda says he can "hear" the music through this panel.[hide]
[/hide]- Oda selected "Your Lie in April" although it was published by Kodansha, which competes with Shueisha.
-
-
Good job Sandman!
-
Awesome thanks Sandman! Are there official English translations of Your Lie in April? I'd be interested in buying into it and then watch Brook evolve before my very eyes.

Yep, Kodansha publishes it here. Only the first 5 volumes have been released.

It's ok that I missed it but to wake up just after it finished because you have to go on work it's so cruel :getlost:
Anyway, thanks for the info Sandman and I'm looking forward for this video of yours Galaxy

Interview with Oda in the latest issue of English Weekly Shonen Jump conducted at Jump Festa 2016.
Thanks, YonkouProductions !
What surprised me here was this part of the interview :
"SJ : In a word or two, what does Shonen Jump mean to you ?
ODA : It's a way to pass time. It shouldn't be nothing more than that, and it's not less than that. […]
SJ : What about manga ? ODA : My answer is the same for manga. […]"
I was expecting him to say something like "manga has an impact on society, like other forms of art do", thus being "more than just a way to pass time".
What do you guys think about that ?Oda seems to really be looking forward to the next movie (One Piece : GOLD). It seems to be a big one, maybe the best one we've ever had ? I'll absolutely try to see it when it comes out in theaters.
His last sentence really got me hyped up. "The story of One Piece will continue to heat up this year !" Like, wow. The end of the year was really rich in revelations and twists… A hole year with the same degree of awesomeness seems more like an utopia to me. But ! it's happening. And I'm really happy about that. -

What do you guys think about that ?Yeah, I feel you. His story has an impact on society, and it conveys some great ideas about morality and some other philosophical concepts, like the best form of kingship.
He's probably just being humble. I don't know honestly what goes through his mind. It could be that he has his own reasons for seeing it that way.

And I'm really happy about that.I will only really be looking forward to it when I hear in the trailer 'Gear Fourth'. If the story and art is similar to Strong World, I may be looking forward to it as well.
-
That was a very humble response. Oda states the importance of manga to 'pass time' as there are clearly more rewarding and important things to do in life than read a comic. So many important world views and especially injustices are highlighted throughout the story, in many ways whatever is reflected in his work is an eye opener to what surrounds us in this world, I think he understands that.
-
don't really know why people expected something different,because after reading sbs and other stuff,it becomes clear that for oda manga is simply entertainment.of course,it can be great entertainment,which would require integration of social and philosophical messages,as well as be something other than a manga where people beat up each other.but still,essentially,at the end of the day,it's entertainment(at least that's his viewpoint).
and frankly,movies are huge promotional events for the series,and so he is obliged to promote them,so i personally am not especially excited for the movie as such.would probably watch it when it comes out,though -
I knew it, he liked to hang out with Zolo the most.:ninja:
-
Oh no! Oda says that Manga is just a form of entertainment to pass the time between important things.
Shigeru Miyamoto said the same about videogames, and some crazy (I guess) fanatics wanted to lynch him, because they define videogames as art. -
Video games are art.
And most art is made and enjoyed to pass time. -
Oh no! Oda says that Manga is just a form of entertainment to pass the time between important things.
Shigeru Miyamoto said the same about videogames, and some crazy (I guess) fanatics wanted to lynch him, because they define videogames as art.Yeah, I don't know man. One Piece has changed my life in so many ways it's intrinsic to who I am now. Anything can be marginalized. I think that the themes in One Piece are the same as what Greeks sought after as persons of integrity and strong beliefs that they are willing to preserve to their own peril.
It's about living life on your own terms and doing the right thing instead of the easy thing.
I'm obviously very biased but what one piece has given me is strength in the dark times. It could very well be the reason why I'm still alive.

But does that mean, that One Piece is art, just because it influenced your life? Are your family and friends art because they influence your life? Your hobbies? Your education?
On the other hand, isn't art defined by its ability to invoke discussion, opinion and interpretation?

Well you can call it whatever you want I suppose. But saying One Piece is JUST a way of passing time makes it seem less valuable. Which is really a disservice to all of us. Including Oda.

How can this be a disservice to Oda when that is literally (literally as in translated to English) what he said?

I think you're going into the realm of what Oda wants to avoid. When you start sound more fanatic than fan.
Oda clearly takes his work very seriously or he wouldn't work so hard but he knows the place of stories in society. Everybody likes a good story and only a fool would learn nothing from the stories he's told but in the end they are a way to pass time and at their best a way to help or prepar people for certain situations.
Like sports were invented as a way to train for actual combat, they are important, fun and a good way to pass time but a mere shadow of the real thing.
Stories are important, fun and a good way to pass time but their objective is merely to open yourself for when you run into a similar situation in real life with real people. -

Shigeru Miyamoto said the same about videogames, and some crazy (I guess) fanatics wanted to lynch him, because they define videogames as art.Video games in of themselves aren't art, they're a medium by which art can be made. Saying that video games are intrinsically art at all times is like saying that paint in of itself is art no matter how it's used.
Also it's fairly hypocritical for Oda to say that considering manga is his meal ticket and therefore is an important thing to him as well as many others who work in that industry.
But does that mean, that One Piece is art, just because it influenced your life? Are your family and friends art because they influence your life? Your hobbies? Your education?
No, One Piece is art because it fulfills the objective dictionary definition requirements to be so:

What are you, stupid? Because he's devaluing something that he did. That's like your chancellor saying, well yeah, Germany is just a place to live. That's perhaps a truth but it's an awful thing to say really and takes a lot away from everyone.
Or do you think that nothing anyone says can be negative?

In other words your statement is a self-defeating argument.
Are stories of the same value as staring at the ceiling? Or waiting for the bus? I guess if you're really zen then perhaps maybe. But it's still a bad move from Oda.

Staring at the ceiling or waiting for the bus are not ways to pass the time.
Time certainly does passes while you do it but to "pass the time" means to do something while you wait for important things.
Anything you do to pass the time, wether it's reading comics, playing an instrument for a bit, kicking an hacky-sack, doing a puzzle, exercising, etc, etc, has impact on the rest of your life so my statement is in no way self-defeating.Anyway, what Oda is saying is that real interactions are more important that fictional ones. Spending time with your family and friends outranks reading about a group of friends/family.
And don't forget that in the same interview he said he wants to be the king of pastimes, he wants to make the funest and best way for other people to pass the time. For him it's an enormous part of his life, he works everyday for it so that you can focus on your important things and read something cool and funny when you have a bit of free time. -
Oda is being humble.
