Maybe it's the date the Manga officially finishes?
Oda's Foreshadowing Challenge
-
-
Oda knowing in advance what a pretty random chapter number will contain seems a bit far fetched to me.

He has some rough plans for the upcoming arcs, so all he has to do is work towards that certain chapter.
Chapter 387 and 783 are certainly not a coincidence.

But was that foreshadowed 160 chapters in advance?

No, it wasn't. Does it matter? Obvously he didn't plan G4 to to be revealed in that specific chapter since400 chapters ago, but probably came up with the idea a while ago and worked the plot in such a way.

That's what I mean, yea. It's easier to make the chapter numbers work if the exact chapter number isn't foreshadowed 4-5 years in advance.

We'll have to agree to disagree there.

478(Nightmare Luffy) and 784(Nightmare Luffy 2.0) too.
-
478(Nightmare Luffy) and 784(Nightmare Luffy 2.0) too.
too? the 3's aren't just typo's? Might be something then indeed.
-
Nightmare Luffy 2.0, combined with Gear 4th, Moriah putting the strawhat's shadow into Luffy.
-
The cover page of Chapter 771, with all the Top 10 character rankings. Ace is throwing the apple to Sabo. I think the Mera Mera Fruit is originally an apple.

that's a nice find,but we already know sabo has the mera mera by that point(quite before,actually).so i don't think that counts as foreshadowing.
as for 944,it could be and could not be at the same time.
-
was thinking about Luffy use of gomu gomu no ufo could that be a foreshadowing of Luffy flying this chapter:blink:

That really isn't foreshadowing, to be honest.
-
I can't recall any foreshadowing for Gear 4. That was a genuine surprise.
-
I've been wondering if Luffy got the idea for Gear third from the time he got the giant golden ball attached to his arm back in Skypea
-
Wait, wait, wait; Gomu Gomu no UFO? Does that means we will see a UFO in the future?
-

Don't you remember Usopp's lies about Alien shopkeeper?
-
Where did he say that? If it's the anime then it's filler
-
@joekido:

@Galaxy:
!
Most of Usopp's lies have come true in some fashion, event eh most recent one of having haki (that's the shortest amount of time from lie to it [partially] coming true) including the dragon and Cerberus mentioned in that page, so I'm still waiting for the alien shop owner
-
Alien is gonna happen, don't forget Oda saying Enel will return to the blue sea with his lil soldiers at one point.
-
Oh yeah there will be aliens, well more or of them anyway. You could say its already come true. The shop keeper though will probably be a much more involved thing and a new species with out wings. There is too much activity on the moon for that to just be ignored the rest of the series.
-
We already seen the Dr Seuss-looking aliens in Enel cover story, I would like to see them again or someone from the sema species.

Shortly after Gear Second was revealed, gear third was.
The chapter Gear third was shown in was 421. We have had Gear 4 released recently so chapter 421 indicates that the new gear number will go from 4 to 1 (4-2-1).
Chapter 587 Sabo supposedly died. Chapter 785 is next and Sabo is in this arc. Coincidence?
-
Straw Hats in the sky?
So why not Straw Hats IN SPACE :ninja:
-
Gomu Gomu no Ufo!
-
@The:

You have no Idea how bad I want this to happen.
Franky figuring out Vegapunk's blueprints may hint at a possible friendship between the two. Or at least a mutual respect for fellow engineers.
Vegapunk could help transform the sunny into a rocket ship. I feel he is a neutral party who is only with the government for their funding that lets him be a scientist.
I feel with Eneru's cover story, something important is happening on the moon. Now whether the Straw Hats go there to do stuff or Eneru comes back and starts something is a complete mystery to me.
-
Yeah, completely agree with you and everything you said
-
Luffy's surname is "monkey," a common moniker used to refer to the Saiyans in Dragon Ball by Frieza. Saiyans are an alien race. Luffy is an alien confirmed. Space arc confirmed.
-
I believe there will be some methaphisic-psychedelics moment in the very lat arc, kind of "in the world of the 'devils' from the fruit"
-
I was just thinking of Whitebeards death (chapter 576) and how many wounds he took from cannon balls, bullets and swords. I doubt the numbers were random.
It totalled up to 465.
576+465 = 1041.
Maybe there will be a Yonkou death in chapter 1041, or a Yonkou is defeated. It's not too far fetched since it's 241 chapters away and about 6 years until we get to that chapter D:

In chapter 333, the chapter title is "Captain". Gedatsu appears in the cover story, and it's the 18th part of the story.
1+8=9
9=3 to the power of 2.
2 is a factor of 4. 4=2^2.So there are gonna be 4 3s. Chapter 3333. A triangle has 3 sides. Could this chapter confirm the Illuminati?
Maybe in chapter 3333 we'll see Gedatsu appear in charge of the Illuminati pirates and will try to establish the New World Order in the New World? -

I doubt Oda can pinpoint with such accuracy when something is going to happen.
-
I love this chapter numbers theories so much!!!
They make Oda seem like a mathematical genius. -
But he isn't. Usually he works too fast and his foreshadowed chapters don't have the right number. So he brings back Jora to gain one or two chapters.
At least that's what I would do. Yohohohoho -
No wonder this ark has been so long, he stretched so that gear fourth would land on that chapter number.
And makes everyone a conspiracy theorist. Pretty funny. -

He's done it before.
God dayum though, I might be married and have a kid in 6 years.

16 chars of How so?

You doubt Oda can't pull something off like that but he pulls of a reverse chapter with gear 2nd/4th.
Perfectly timed.

Everything Oda has done this arc was for that :ninja:

Perfectly timed.
Also doubt he knew when gear 4th would appear at the moment he invented gear second. He doesn't strike me as the type to evaluate the timing of his work that accurately.

All coincidence.

lol.. Agreed!
now with Gear fourth shown in latest manga.. (Spoiler alert for those who haven't read it yet), I wonder what's next big thing…

Luffy will measure 8 meters? Maybe an awakening ? -

Luffy will measure 8 meters? Maybe an awakening ?With gear 3rd luffy already easily surpasses that :P

Sabo still alive but didn't see him fight in recent chapter
Explain how that is foreshadowing?
