Oda's Interviews

That's actually such a cool backdrop for a statue

Pic for Hand of Oda !
Oda didnt come in this unveiling ceremony, but he send a message「少しでも熊本に人を呼ぶきっかけになってくれれば。末永くかわいがっていただければ幸いです」
-
That is an awesome statue. Now we just need one for Noland, Kyros, and Usoland.
-
Moment when Oda put his hand and made his signature !!

It's funny because Luffy wanted to use Skypiea gold to make/buy a bronze statue before Water 7 started.

@Dahaka.:

Jeez, Oda really does foreshadow everything.

Thank you for the link, it was nice to watch. I would have expected more people at the ceremony, but I don't know if it was during a working day or else

Thanks for the videos and pics!
As you know, full name of ONE PIECE author is Eiichiro Oda. First name is usually given by parents in Japan.
Then, what does "Eiichiro" (栄一郎) mean in Japanese? Ei (栄) means glory (flourish) and Ichiro (一郎) is a common name for a first-born son.
FYI, Akira Toriyma's first name Akira (明) means bright/wise.Oda's parents must be happy about their son being "glorious" mangaka just like his own name.
3 days ago, Luffy's statue started being displayed near Kumamoto prefecture office, Oda's hometown.
Oda's parents made comments about this statue.Oda's father: It'd be great if everybody is glad about Luffy's statue. Hopefully this statue will become famous all over the world.
(The latter part translation is ambiguous. Maybe Oda's father is hoping that Kumamoto people will succeed globally like ONE PIECE.)Oda's mother: My son is saying that he will keep supporting Kumamoto. I'd appreciate it if people love Luffy's statue for a long time.
*Oda's father is good at Western painting style.

So an Italian facebook group has reported a Naito interview (but i didn't find anything about this on other forums or sites, nor i haven't read posts of redon and sandman) and it will be probably fake. I've translated it (sorry for my poor English, i hope it's understandable).
-Wano will be "the biggest One Piece saga", in terms of lenght and plot development.
-Naito says many mighty characters will appear soon, as "the sleeping world legend", who he talked about in a precedent interview.- Oda says 2019 will be "Zoro's year".
- Naito says Oda calls him at pgone very rarely, and sometimes he's worried Oda works too hard, but he'satisfied about his work.
- Naito says Oda's working many hours at day, and he reduced his rest by only 2 hours ad day . When he says him to repose, Oda always says "it's stronger than me, i need the result of my work will be amazing"
- Naito talks about the Stampede movie. he says "the movie will introduce a dangerous and mighty enemy, comparable to an admiral or Dragon". He also says there will be some familiar characters, not only the Mugiwaras.
- The editor reveals Oda's favourite food is chicken yakisoba and umeboshi, and he also likes sashimi cooked by his wife at home, and he offers it at Japanese dubbers of Mugiwaras

This sounds _incredibly_ fake. It's not even a little subtle about it.
-
Agree. Unfortunately the administrators of that page say it's true and they reject to deny it :getlost:

I'm guessing they're not willing to say where they found the info either. It sounds like they just picked out a couple of big fanbase talking points to say Oda "confirmed" just for the clickbait. Pretty lame.
-
Yeah, unless they are willing to provide the original interview, I would suggest not spreading it. Those informations stick whithin the fandom long after being proven false.
-
What Oda considers the most delicious food was revealed in the One Piece Magazine comic by Yusaku Shibata.
It wasn't yakisoba.
Also, related to above, Oda's father is indeed a helluva artist.
-
The fakest-reading things off that are oda comparing anyone to dragon or mihawk
Other than that it sounds like generic editor hype, which naito kind of abused woth whole cake island. Honestly I feel he talked too much about wano in whole cake island and then he kept sayoig just you wait a ton for an arc that kind of ended anticli atically (purposefully but still)
-
Year of Zoro lol I wish, he's waited over 20 years he deserves some serious spotlight time already

Is there anywhere we can see his dad's work.
-
According to today's radio program, Oda keeps in mind that he hangs out with his daughters at least one day per week.
He usually sleeps for less than 3 hours a day. On top of that, he sleeps in his own studio without taking a shower.. The radio program also said that Sanma Akashiya, one of the most famous comedians in Japan, recently visited Oda's house for location shooting for TV show.
Oda drew Sanma's face based on Whitebeard. The show is going to be held in January.source: Akashiya Sanma All Night Nippon Onegai Request (December 16th, 2018)

This is awesome!!!
I was hoping they'd take the meeting with Sanma to bring his place to television for the first time.
There's already a big reveal here that I don't think is general public knowledge (or at least hasn't been explicitly stated) regarding Oda's work environment.
The closest they came to this kind of reveal was at Jump Festa about 3 or so years ago where Sugita-san recorded some footage from inside Oda's office but the footage was never made available after the one-time filming.
I wonder if they'll hype this at JF?
Also, using Sanma for this kind of promotion is appropriate. It would be like having Richard Pryor host the segment.
You're gonna flip over this. Here's hoping they can show you what his awesome bathtub is like.

information from u/TashigiTaisa (one piece reddit)
I watched a stream of the TV show ホンマでっか!? where they visited Oda’s house and interviewed him (his face was always covered by a Luffy picture). It was recorded a month ago. Here’s what was revealed about Oda and One Piece:
- Oda’s workplace is attached to his house
- Oda has about 10 assistants
- When he’s concentrated working, he needs total silence and doesn’t even speak
- He said the One Piece is not going to be about “family”, or something that the Strawhats will “find inside themselves” like the end of the Wizard of Oz. Meaning it’s gonna be a real reward (he had already said this in an interview years ago)
- They ask him if Ace is ever coming back to life and he says no
- Oda has the end of One Piece already in mind
- He said One Piece will be over 100 volumes
- Oda sleeps from 9 to 12 in the morning. His staff sleeps from 5 to 12 in the morning.
- If someone predicted the end of One Piece, would he change it? Yes, he would.
- He was planning to do Amazon Lily later in the story, but then decided to do it earlier before his daughter went to school (I understood it's so that she would avoid pervy comments but I'm not 100% sure)
They also showed all the crazy stuff he has in his house, like the shark toilet and the crane machine. Hopefully someone will upload it on YT soon.
EDIT: Oda's name and the name of the TV show are now the top Twitter trends worldwide! A lot of people were watching this!===========
Additional info from u/EtenBoby
! He said it will be “slightly” over 100 vol.
To add on he mentioned that he’s scared that his child will find out after she went to school that he’s been drawing “that kind of things”. But his kid actually like Hancock to the point of bringing her figure to the hospital. His kid even said “ Dad, you like breast right!”, Oda said he has nothing to lose now lol
and! More info:
Oda also saids that he doesn’t like those “life lesson” type of ending, he believes that since it’s a adventure story, they should actually find some big treasures in the end.
! Someone ask if Oda’s wife is the model for Nami, he said no. Oda: But mangaka only draw those that they like, so Nami is becoming more and more like my wife.
! Both Toriyama Akira(DB author) and Inoue Takehiko(Slam Dunk author) had been on the mini train in Oda’s house!!
! Oda’s doctor also told him that if he doesn’t exercise more, he’ll died.
! Also a part that I thought was really funny;
Some professionals examine and stated that even tho rubber can be extended longer by heating it, it’s impossible for Luffy to extend it that long. Also that scientifically the strawhat can only be wore for 4 years.
Oda’s response: YesYesYes, I get it.=========
additional info from u/SKR47CH
! Not sure if already posted, but there's a program I'm watching now where the TV crew is visiting Oda's office/home.. and his office and home are fucking awesome. His face is covered though…
! * Has a real size terminator figurine. And tons of others.- Has all volumes of Kingdom and other mangas.
- Has crane game in his home.
- Has 100 inch TV.. had to break a wall to get it in.
- He showed the color spread we got in the latest manga.. so this might be a few days old at most.
- Has a shark mounted in his toilet.. walls and light make it look it it's in ocean.
- Says one piece ending is decided but still working on the journey..(guess we know that already). If he sees some fan theories that are right, he'll change stuff in the manga so they no longer are..
- Lol Kimura Takuya (Japanese actor) was doing the barbeque at his home like he's his personal chef.
- Hancock's island was supposed to come in much later but when Oda became a dad he did that earlier so his child doesn't see him drawing boobs all day long.
-
Would like to have a subbed version of these two hours.
-
Wonder what Amazon Lily woulda been like. It ended up just being a forgettable transition arc.

Officially: Sugita Retiring! The New Editor of Manga is Takano Ken, and Naito San will be Editor of Media !
Takano San !
-
I hope the new editor will contribute to making the pace better. Recent chapters could use some.

Apparently he said the ending made him cry

The ending of the entire series. Oda reveals the ending to every new editor.

Editor Sugita retired from OP editor last week and Takano has become a new OP manga editor.
Here is my summaries of Takano’s interview last summer and live streaming between editor Sugita and Naito last week.Summary of Takano’s interview (TV show “50 years of Shonen Jump and us ” (ボクらと少年ジャンプの50年)NHK BS TV, July 8th, 2018)
-
Editors are not highly evaluated by their boss until they launched a new popular manga.
(In other words, editors are not highly evaluated just because they are ONE PIECE editor since OP is already super popular.) -
Takano said, “ I hate it when others make a success as an editor. This feeling encourages me to work hard. All editors consider it in the same way.”
Summary of YouTube live streaming (March 29th, 2019:
)-
Takano is 27 years old. (Naito: 28, Sugita 29). Takano’s height is about 180cm.
-
Oda already met Takano and praised him for his good voice.
-
Editor Sugita remembers editor Habuta’s words and sheds tears in the live streaming:
“Oda is like a hypercar, but editors are only like a subcompact car. It is really painful to work as OP editor.
It is hard for us normal people to keep up with a genius like Oda.” -
Sugita says that it has been a great experience to work as OP editor despite many hardships. After hearing Sugita’s words, editor Naito cries, too.

Gosho Aoyama, author of Detective Conan, revealed his desire to have an interview with Oda as comrades for weekly manga and anime.
Aoyama mentioned it in “Da Vinci” magazine today. He assumes that both ONE PIECE and Detective Conan will reach volume 100 around the same time.[hide]

This talk about ending made me realize that one piece is near it.I've been thinking.If for only the last volume, jump would stop including one piece in its weeklies, and so, because of that the scan would also be out for around 10 weeks, only for a direct tankoubon release. Wouldve been hard waiting like two and a half months, but once you obtain it, it would be a hell of a ride ( and prepare a box of tissue).*Im sure some users would slam me after this lol
-
Here is a summary of Oda’s latest interview with Yuzu, Japanese vocal group, released 3 days ago.
The title of the book is "Mainchi Yuzuman" (Amazon.jp link). Thanks for the info, AU!-
When Oda married in 2004, he made a promise with his wife, “I’ll finish ONE PIECE in 10 years.
After that, let’s go on a round-the-world trip”. But 15 years have passed since the promise…:sad: -
Oda feels satisfied but worried at the same time when he draws a good arc.
When he drew Enies Lobby arc, he felt, “It will be impossible for me to draw more touching story than this arc.” -
Oda learned rhythm of words via Rakuugo, Japanese verval entertainment.
-
Oda is certain that his audience will enjoy OP if only he draws what he wants to because he loves popular songs and films,
-
OP will be more and more exciting toward the ending. Oda has already decided most of what will happen in the future.
That being said, recent story of Wano arc is heading for what he didn’t imagine. So, Oda doesn’t want to talk about the story toward the final chapter. -
Oda feels sorry for earning money by enjoying drawing manga despite many people working hard in their companies.
-
Oda says he would rather die sleeping on a beach somewhere than die on his desk.
(Oda made a comment in April that he has heard he would have an early death if he doesn’t exercise much. Since then, he decided to go on a walking for 30 minutes every day.)
BTW, Here is my summary of new ONE PIECE manga editor Takano’s information.
-
Takano is 27 years old. Born on June 9th, 1991.
-
Oda gave him a nickname called Takanogym. This is because editor Takano loves weight training.
He currently goes on a training gym once per week. He says he’d like to go twice per week if possible. He can do Barbell Arm Curl with 35-40 kilograms weight. -
When editor Naito asked Takano to take off his shirt and show him his abdominal muscles, Takano declined..
-
Takano’s favorite character is Stussy.
-
When Takano met Oda for the first time, he felt Oda is full of Haki!:wub:
[hide]

-
Damn Oda. Just…Damn.
-
I bet half of us won't survive to see the ending of the manga
