Shut up man, each one knows how this will impact their lives…you don't know how many of us buy the tankos, and how many buy the jump itself...
This is the dumbest way to begin a rebuttal I can think of

the best thing about this if it's true is that the chapter art quality could (hopefully) go up
though I agree with Greg in that 10 weeks is a little long and OP may lose fans
hrblgrbl
what was that gohn
something about little girls and how delicious they are I assume
AW FUCK 10 WEEK SYSTEM THIS SUCKS!
Seriously though, I'm very unhappy. How will this effect the anime? Can you say extremely long filler arc? And probably long, drawn out non-filler episodes as well.
Well so this is what it's like when ppl have a shared dream(nightmare) seems we all dreamed up the same horrible shit lol

Seriously, if this is true

I can understand why they picked OP tho, Oda probably let em know that this manga won't be ending anytime soon so in his head this delay might give him some time to get things done in advance, maybe even start up another manga lol. This is why Naruto or Bleach wasn't picked those are going to end pretty soon. Also maybe because Togashi and Oda are friends he agreed to atleast get HXH's popularity jump started again.
I'll be sticking with OP no matter what just like I've stuck with HXH with 1/3 of the manga being crappy drawings due to Togashi's sickness and the ridiculous hiatuses. I mean seriously ppl you've spent 10 years reading this manga(unless you read all 500+ chaps in a short time) would you just stop now? that'd be an epic waste of time.
From what I read we atleast get chap 518 next week so lets enjoy that
/ends optimistic outlook
FUCK!!!!!! This is total bull shit. When will this end though? or will it be like this until OP and HXH are done?
I'm going back to the idea that this is just a collective nightmare we are all having…...
(If true) It's the final stage of Shueisha's 40th Anniversary of JUMP. It's the part where they chain us naked to a wall and shove a baseball bat wrapped in razorwire up our assholes.
JUMP Festa's OP stage is going to be SOOOOOOO AWKWARD (if true)
Why this have to happen to One Piece and not naruto/bleach….. One Piece is the only manga i check for spoiler every week... At least they should move it to a monthly manga.... 10 weeks seem too long:getlost:

Hopefully Oda does all of them. I don't think he's factored in the backlash of this if he agreed on it.
I have a theory guys
I think Oda planned this from the beginning just to fuck with us
If this goes through I expect the chapters to be at least twenty-five or thirty pages.
I seriously hope this is just a monumental joke of some sort. Oda can't be doing this sort of thing alongside Togashi…right?
@Tokoro:
Oda can't be doing this sort of thing alongside Togashi…right?
That really irks me more than the whole 10 weeks of this and 10 weeks of that thing. That a hardworking guy who week in and week out delivers has to step aside because the laziest fuck in the universe decided he wanted to give it another try.
But a light in the dark would be if as Zik proposed Oda started pitching character and ideas for some filler arcs and helping the anime stay afloat, we dont wanna see another Kenshin fiasco do we.
Has Oda gone mad? If he takes a 10 weeks off, I might lose my interst in One Piece because I would be going "aw screw it" if I had to wait that fucking long. God, I wonder what is the hell is wrong with Oda? Does he not enjoy One Piece anymore? Why could he not just say "know what? I think I'll stop drawing this manga"? This just shows that Oda just betrayed his fans by getting all lazy.
I guess we're not allowed to make thread's about Boa's back (which is stupid in my opinion) so I'll just post this here, and have a link to the theory in my signature…

NOW LISTEN UP, KIDS!
Here's how it works:
Dragon represents the revolutionaries of the world, just as the Freemasons do in our own world. They were responsible for starting the French revolution AND the American revolution! His tattoo pattern is actually a reference to the famous "Square & Compass" logo of the Freemasons!
He is opposed to the World Government, and therefore, back when Boa Hancock was his lover, she got a logo which replaced the World Government's logo with that of Dragon's, symbolizing the worldwide takeover of the revolutionaries!
…Which is Luffy recognizes the logo of his mom and dad.
(You may praise my brilliance now.)
He didn't even remember having a dad, let alone seeing him in the first place. Remember that conversation with Garp back at Water 7? Smoker prevented Luffy from seeing Dragon period so no chance of having seen the mark on his face.
That kind of kills your theory right? :ninja:
I have a theory guys

Big surprise of 2008 indeed.
evidently there was a thread made on /a/ about this
people are getting pretty upset

I don't think it's Oda's decision.
What will happen to this forum while the break is on? Oh the thought of AP becoming a desolate wasteland scares me.
No, he wasn't holding the bars at this moment and here is the proof:
They don't need to be holding the bars. Those jail cells are specially made for DF users to restrict their powers even if they aren't touching the bars. It's why Smoker wasn't able to turn into smoke to escape.
As for the news of the 10 week on 10 week off… that is really disgusting news. While I haven't kept up with HxH, it's just a terrible decision in my opinion to bump off one popular series for another. I assume they think that One Piece is popular enough that they'll have readers still and it won't be damaging after the 10 week break. Dissapointing.
If this goes through I expect the chapters to be at least twenty-five or thirty pages.
At the least, monthly mangas go from 20-30 pages sometimes 40+. This should be 60 pages a chap goddamnit!
It doesn't look good tho, since HXH chap was like 20 pages.
I guess I'll have to be looking forward to KHR, D.Gray-Man and Psyren weekly now.
I have a theory guys

I'm sure the one this is affecting the most (if true) is Oda and it's hitting him far worse than any of us.
Oda is the one author who CONTINUALLY has gone above and beyond for the fans. He's a man who loves his job. That's not to say it doesn't take it's toll on him (hence last summer's declaration that OP would be his first and last long-running series) but he is the manga fan's mangaka.
He knows how hard this will hit his fans (if true) and I'm sure that it's not sitting well with him and he probably feels like crap for having to go along with what is a bullshit decision from way above his head.
That's why it would kill me not to spend money on tanks since that's where he gets his nice share, but I simply won't support such a blatantly selfish decision.
…
Please, Jump, no.
I already have to go through this for Hunter x Hunter. Don't do it to One Piece, too.
WTF?! NO! This cannot be! This is terrible! One Piece is my current obsession. It's what I look forward to every weekend. Why are they doing this? It's just going to hurt them in the long run. Plus, unless they release multiple chapters at a time or very lengthy chapters, the series will never end. I'll probably die before it does. Where is the logic in this decision?!
I currently wait a long time just for the monthly manga's like Tenjo Tenge, Monster Hunter Orage, or My Balls (don't ask haha) but adding another long wait.. crappy. Hopefully, chapters will be a bit longer but I'm not holding my breath. I doubt Jump will allow the extra pages.
That's why it would kill me not to spend money on tanks since that's where he gets his nice share, but I simply won't support such a blatantly selfish decision.
if you want to support OP, it would actually be good for you to buy the issues it appears in.
If the company sees that issues with one piece have higher selling potential that will send them a message
if you want to support OP, it would actually be good for you to buy the issues it appears in.
Although decent in theory, I think they'd pay more attention if I didn't give them $130 a year rather than give them $65. Again, even that's in 'theory'. I don't expect the world to change because I don't buy JUMP, but I won't support stupid decisions.
One thing I will do though (if true)…is start sending them a weekly package reminding them of what I think they are.
And I'm serious. I'll go fucking Jericho on their ass and ask for others to join along.

are you insane
Do we know when this will come into effect?
nope
So if someone was willing to give you $130 for just doing things like you'd done.
And they were unwilling to give you $65 for doing a half-assed job.
You would rather do things half-assed and get no money?

I bet it's some kind of bet Oda made with the Hunter X Hunter guy.
I bet HxH was being a cocky douche even though he's a lazy fucker and how Jump sells twice as much when his manga is in it, and Oda got so annoyed he bet the faggot that if One Piece was removed from Jump for 10 Weeks, and then Hunter X Hunter, then the version with One Piece would sell more than the version without.
Has Jump gone mad? If they pulled One Piece for 10 weeks, I might lose my interst in One Piece because I would be going "aw screw it" if I had to wait that fucking long. God, I wonder what is the hell is wrong with Oda? Is not One Piece popular? Why could they just make mor room for One Piece? This just shows that Jump just betrayed their fans by kicking One Piece off
Edit: I just hate it when I don't pay a fucking close attention, I can see why I'm everyone's favorite chew toy :getlost:
@Bad-Beat:
Do we know when this will come into effect?
It seems after next week. So after chap 518 no more OP for 10 weeks unless everyone is wrong and somebody hacked in to that guys account or this is a collective nightmare we are all having.
Why are you reading garbage like My Balls
Boredom since I caught up with all the manga I was currently reading and it has it's decent moments where it makes me La Ma O.
So if someone was willing to give you $130 for just doing things like you'd done.
And they were unwilling to give you $65 for doing a half-assed job.

The fact of the matter is, that companies look at reports of sales. and they notice patterns. that's what they do. for profit, which is the biggest reasons companies are in buiness. they want to make money. are you following me so far.
That's why they conduct popularity polls. to find what sells. to make more money.
So if you buy issues with One Piece and not other issues, (and enough people do this) it will be noticed. and someone will say "hey. let's bring one piece back. it is making us money"
That is the way the corporate world works.
Do you even know what I'm talking about?
no and i don't care. you said you wanted to save your money, but then advocated sending them nuts. you're not right or you are INTERNET BRAGGING
which is gay
I don't understand this decision consider how much OP has sold compared to all other Jumps mangas that are other there wouldn't they want to keep it weekly and put something else on this bullshit 10 week schedule.
So if someone was willing to give you $130 for just doing things like you'd done.
And they were unwilling to give you $65 for doing a half-assed job.

Well, less sales of Jump across the board wouldn't send the message 'we want One Piece in all issues'. It would send the message 'we don't like Jump anymore'.
Issues with One Piece selling better than issues without would send a stronger message in that situaton.
@Zik:

Wow, so either this has been in the working for some time or this has been decided rather quickly. Are the higher ups in JUMP really sure they know what they are doing?
Another question. Do we have some idea of why this decision has been taken? Or has anything like this happened before that we can gauge some idea of what the effects will be?
I just hope this doesn't lead to the cancellation of the series.
I just hope this doesn't lead to the cancellation of the series.
why would it
seriously
This… can't be true. It can't. There's no way Shueisha could be so stupid as to give One Piece the "Viz Treatment". This will shoot the pacing straight to hell, and shoot the anime pacing to hell worse. I don't even see how this will make Shueisha money. How does making only half as much of your most popular series come out make you money?! Where is the business sense in this decision?! I refuse to believe this. It can't be, there's no logic in it. Like Greg said, the One Piece booth at Jump Festa this year will be awkward if this goes through. Somebody better make Shueisha explain why they pulled this, because this is going to cost everyone involved.
Maybe this is why the anime has been doing one chapter per episode.
I just hope this doesn't lead to the cancellation of the series.
As popular as the manga is shown, I doubt it. Anime possibly or at best, a long break or filler hell.

I'm begining to think that this was planned for awhile cuz the announcement for HXH chap to be in the Oct issue of JUMP was weeks ago and then ppl got the word on the net the day the chap got online that it would be 10 weeks of chaps then break for 10 weeks.
They must've had the rotation plan in their head and we got word of it now. I'd assume Oda has known for awhile now.
I'll hope this is just an experiment for sales and when they fail miserably they'll just make both manga weekly and bump w/e crappy manga in the issue isn't doing that good(like they did with Double Arts altho it wasn't crappy).
Well, less sales of Jump across the board wouldn't send the message 'we want One Piece in all issues'. It would send the message 'we don't like Jump anymore'.
Issues with One Piece selling better than issues without would send a stronger message in that situaton.
I swear to God, you have the most amount of common sense out of anybody on this board
that's what they do. for profit, which is the biggest reasons companies are in buiness. they want to make money. are you following me so far.
Yes. And they'll make money. When they do their job.
That's why they conduct popularity polls. to find what sells. to make more money.
So if you buy issues with One Piece and not other issues, (and enough people do this) it will be noticed. and someone will say "hey. let's bring one piece back. it is making us money"
That is the way the corporate world works.
No, I think they'd say, "FUCK! WE'RE NOT MAKING AS MUCH MONEY! WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO!?"
There's this whole attitude that we as consumers bear the responsibility of appeasing providers.
EXCUSE ME!?
The fact that I'm a consumer practically defines that the provider MUST fulfill my needs, not the other way around.
When someone paddles you on the ass, you don't turn around and give them money to keep doing it.
The very fact that earning money is what drives a company is exactly why removing that factor entirely will show them, they fucked up.
And this entire conversation is useless since whether I buy JUMP or not will have no affect on this scenario (if true).
All I know is, as a consumer, I'm not happy with said choice and I'm not massocistic enough to think it's my fault and that I need to appease them by using money from my wallet, to support them FOR A SHITTY CHOICE THEY MADE!….....(if true)
no and i don't care.
Then you just lost this debate. I'm done with you.
Well, less sales of Jump across the board wouldn't send the message 'we want One Piece in all issues'. It would send the message 'we don't like Jump anymore'.
Yeah, and if they run it like that, I don't. So I'm not going to pay them to do something I don't like.
Christ, no wonder our economy is fucked. People keep paying people to do shit they don't even like. It's being a poor consumer and BEGS for the kind of business decisions we find ourselves in the midst of (if true). Because then businesses can do whatever they want and they'll still get money.
