I don't mean to leave you to droll to death upon imagining this, but i had this CRAAAZY idea!
how if, by any chance, ODA wishes to make the LAST future one piece movie as the GRAND FINALE of one piece!
and by that also means,.. not making the anime episodes last until the end. I mean like it is cut when it almost reach the grand finale or the last arc of one piece.
let's say the last movie will have a title like: "One Piece: End of the Journey, Raftel" or something like "One Piece: the True Meaning behind the Will of D"
people talking about canon or not, this is a WHOLE different level!
Is it going to be the 1st…? No. Hagaren no Rekinjutsushi (FMA) made the last episode of it that made people want to watch the shambala movie. But that's just alternative universe, and we all know that anime has its sequel.
How would anime people of one piece react to this if it really happens? People would went berserk at TOHO, warner, TOEI's cinemas that probably never happened before.
I mean i don't mean the manga would also be "cut" before the end and making manga people also HAVE to watch the movie to watch the end of OP. That would be tooo cruel and newspaper would headline gazillion of people demonstrate in front of oda's house shueisa's building ^^;
But still, for people that watch the anime version regularly, even if "just by any chance" that the manga would already ended when the movie come out, watching the movie would be a must. Or even better, if it is the alternate ending to the ending in the manga... even more people would want to watch it, perhaps.
Well this is just over-exaggeration..... if the manga & anime is cut and leaving only the movie as the final chapter/final arc of One Piece.. if Oda would do something as extreme as that.....
then i will book a trip Japan. but i'm sure... that wouldn't happen. ^
