Ouch.

The whole interview translated (thanks to Tarek for posting it on the Nakama thread): https://edomonogatari.wordpress.com/2018/07/24/luffy-is-my-ideal-child-says-one-piece-author-eiichiro-oda/
The original text in Japanese: https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/topics/ichiran/20180723-OYT8T50083.htmlThe whole bit about Jinbe not being on the color spreads because it would spoil something about him and Oda stating there would be more character(s) to join were fake.
How do you know its fake. so many fucking people spread it around fuck. Why do they spread this misinformation fuck.
Sometimes I really wonder what planet Oda's from. Sanji proclaiming he'll carry Nami and Carrot with hearts in his eyes while Chopper and Brook accuse him of abandoning them? That's amusing, chuckle-worthy. Sanji dry-humping a newspaper? That's eye-rolling. I don't think I would've found that cool even at 11 years old. But what do I know, I'm clearly not the target audience anymore.
I assume the Japanese audience finds perverted humor to be funny regardless of what it actually ends up being.

How do you know its fake. so many fucking people spread it around fuck. Why do they spread this misinformation fuck.
Because fact-checking and doing their research would require effort and they just want to lazily pump out garbage.
The story of One Piece -as Oda currently envisions it- is 80% complete.
% of the story complete does not correspond to any unit of time.
This is the mistake fans keep making or forget every time he updates.
He's 80% through the big beats toward the goal he has in mind but that says nothing about number/length of arcs he'll wind up writing.
I fully expect OP to easily hit its 30th anniversary before it finishes.

What does that mean? In terms of important plot points introduced? Then yeah, we most likely have already most of the themes and even important characters for the endgame established. Imu cough…
Or in terms of have many island we have already visited? Not the actual length of the islands counts, but every island is a seperate unit. Yeah, that could also work.
What does that mean?
Oda created his story from the back forwards.
He knows the major points of the story he must hit.
Of those points he must hit in the major story, he's 80% done.
That doesn't mean anything about time or number of arcs.
Even the last 5% of that in his mind, could take a decade to complete.
I'm not saying it will***********
I'm just saying that anyone assigning a unit of time or number of arcs to that percentage is entirely off the mark.
I think I get what Greg means. The Straw Hat crew is nearly fully assembled, Luffy is now considered one of the most dangerous pirates to the WG, and he'll soon have 3/4 of the Road Poneglyphs. There's still more to happen, but the finish line is in sight.
Thanks for the explanation, Greg! It is kind of what I think as well. But I'm not so sure that Oda really has such tight control of the percentages and the progression of the story. He'll keep adding and expanding stuff, or rejecting ideas as the manga goes on. These percents are only approximations that make sense by the time being, but I don't see Oda making the exact same calculation in two or three years.
"For example, Sanji's not only cool, he’s also perverted. That’s why I can trust that he’s well-liked among fellow males."
Ouch.
This hurt a lot indeed. Oda, we need to talk.
Oda could have only plotted out 4 super major plot points and crew joinings in between and then filled in the other stuff as he went along. Not saying that's what happens, but it's a way to make sense of it for me.
Also interesting that he talked about how he originally had thought of having the Luffy defeat different enemies that would then joint the crew in lieu of the databook picture of Zoro as a part of Buggy's crew. I'd wager there's more interesting art of the straw hats as villains somewhere.
"For example, Sanji’s not only cool, he’s also perverted. That’s why I can trust that he’s well-liked among fellow males."
Ouch.
I must be dense then, because I don't get it.
The assumption that if you're a male then you must definitely like the perverted humor and that trait of Sanji should be looked as something positive.
Pervy humour is fun. But most girls I know are as much into it as I am.
This isn't exclusively a guy thing.
The assumption that if you're a male then you must definitely like the perverted humor and that trait of Sanji should be looked as something positive.
Ah, well I'm sure Oda doesn't treat it as universal belief and just treats it as a manga joke. I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe in stuff like females not liking anything like robots applying to real life.
I'm pretty sure it does.
If it was a one-time thing then sure, but Oda does consistently goes out of his way to depict Sanji's perverted stuff as something positive and even basically spells it out in the interview.

Did he only mean to speak of the perversion as something positive as viewed through other people in the manga and not something that applies to real life?

This guy one pieces
I'm pretty sure it does.

Sanji's perverted ways is disliked by characters in the series. He usually gets beat up or made fun of for it. I don't recall it being looked at as something positive.
I think that quote was trying to say that Sanji's perverted humor would be well liked among males because men can usually relate to those feelings even though Sanji goes about it in an exagerrated manner for comedy purposes. You can't really blame him for thinking male fans like it since Sanji is a popular character & him being a pervert is a huge part of his characterization.
Oda really can't be so blind as to not know that Sanji is popular because he's a hot chef prince and because he's the strong kick guy can he. He definitely has to have his own Zeff irl.
Well in terms on unrevealed major characters (that we know of), we only have Imu, Vegapunk and Green Bull left.

Well in terms on unrevealed major characters (that we know of), we only have Imu, Vegapunk and Green Bull left.
We didn't even know that Imu existed until a few chapters ago. So there's always the possibility of a surprising character reveal.
But honestly yeah, much such reveals probably won't come in the future. That 80 % comment implies that most of the major characters which are going to play a role in the endgame are already known to us.
Yeah let me remind you that Moria, Ener, Lucci and Katakuri got some of the biggest fight focus in the story and they never get that much build up.
Don't underestimate Oda's creativity. If he has a cool design idea he will create ten more "never heard of" badasses to fight the crew.
- Oda doesn't feel like he's carrying the burden of being the headliner of Jump. He's just happy that so many people are reading his magazine. However he does strive to write more interesting stories.
- He says he feels a strong sense of responsibility. If OP ended and his editors asked him to continue, he wouldn't want to. Ending it is his freedom.
- He says it is 'very lonely' now that Kishimoto, who published alongside him for 15 years is no longer doing so.
- when he reads Jump nowadays he feels like he doesn't understand some of the mangas, thinking like a grandfather would.
- He's aware of this and wants to take countermeasures against it. He says the competition is not about being right, but rather whether your manga is embraced by the audience. As a result he says that if One Piece loses out to them, he will do a bit more research but that hasn't happened yet, he's been winning so far.
20 years later, Oda is as humble and wholesome as ever. <3

There's also Rox.

If you're referring to the silhouette from Chap. 801, that's Morley.
And possibly the character sitting with a Crocus in Ch. 631 cover story. I always figured he’d be an important samurai. Possibly Odens brother?
We still haven't formally been introduced to Scopper.
too much mystery charecter in OP guys. 10-15 years should be end.
Imu
Vegapunk
Scopper Gaban
Rox pirates
Green Bull
Kind &Queen (commanders of Kaidou)
Loki and the rest of the important Elbaf cast
Still plenty of high caliber characters Oda has to introduce to us
Honestly, the two old former kings of Elbaf who got trashed by baby-Linlin totally un-hyped Loki and the Elbaf arc imo
I don't care if she is a beast and the kings were senile. They shouldn't have been one-shot by anyone
People of Mystery:
**Ryokugyu
**Imu
**Dr. Vegapunk
**The Level Six Prisoners
**Rox
**The person who visited Crocus
**King of Elbalf and Prince Loki
**The Lurking Legend Oda mentioned in a interview
**Leader of CP0

Anyone else I missed?

This one has probably been left too far back behind for it to pop up again in the manga, but maybe Willy Karen.

According to an interview with Yomiuri magazine today, Eiichiro Oda mentioned that The One Piece manga finished about 80%..
In his interview with Yomiuri, Oda mentions that his favorite characters are Bun Clay and Ivankov from "The Impel Down Arc", Oda mentions that there are still some characters who will join the straw hat crew
Oda talked about why he did not include Jinbei in the color pages (missed 8 times) despite joining the crew and apparently it was because he doesn't want to spoil one of the surprises about Jinbei's situation since his last appearance.
Looks like i wrongly put the content here, will update again later, sorry
Put this 2 together…Jimbe had a sex change. Get ready to see Jimba join the crew...
I think we will see one arm jinbei or jinbei with a cover on his eyes.
And possibly the character sitting with a Crocus in Ch. 631 cover story. I always figured he’d be an important samurai. Possibly Odens brother?
I thought it was a foreshadowing of Oden. Though we don't know the exact timeline, Kaidou killing him may have been a relatively recent event.Momo and co. fled, got shipwrecked and eventually ended up in Punk Hazard. Couple of months are enough for all these events to take place. So Oden's meeting with Crocus could have happened at any point during the time skip.
Though i have doubt that Oden got a inkling of Kaidou eventually coming after him; else he shouldn't had placed Momo in such predicaments. I guess someone closed to him ratted him out as a former member of Roger's pirate.
“Luffy is my ideal child,” says One Piece author Eiichiro Oda
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON JULY 24, 2018 BY THE YOMIURI SHIMBUN. INTERVIEW BY YAYOI KAWATOKO.
Its popularity, the number of volumes it has in circulation, and the scale of its story are all overwhelming. When the momentum of One Piece—now celebrating its 21st anniversary of being serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump—will stop, no one knows. We sat down with author Eiichiro Oda to reflect on the series and talk about Luffy and his crew. This grand voyage to become the Pirate King is finally reaching its climax.
The Yomiuri Shimbun and One Piece are collaborating on a project called “3D2Y to 2020 KISEKI.” For more details, click here.

And there's also Ligma
How would Zunisha cross the grand line? Let's suppose that it is trully an elephant, then it is way easier if it is another, than that the giant elephant can cross the grand line, dangerously close to Marijoa, while carrying the will of the ancient kingdom.
If not its just another giant elephant which is reasonable enough so just another of Zunisha species.
Its One Piece would it really be a surprise if Zunisha can just cross the red line?
Zunisha .
it only makes sense if you look at it from a very misleading angle. Still a big stretch and better left off as an unsolved mystery.

It doesn't seem relevant enough that Oda would visit again, moreso because it's something so brief that most readers won't remember. Anyone else think it was a prelude to a plot Oda decided to drop?
