Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Sorry for the late reply, the announcer excatly says:
His next question is one that the whole gallery of fans want to know as well, about whether he knows the ending of OP or not.
Much appreciated, Kaizoku_Ou! Hopefully Arabic people will have their own official translations for OP manga/anime in the near future.

You are very welcome Sandman, glad I could help.
I hope they do, right now we only have VIZ's translated volumes sold in middle east and north Africa. As for anime, most of it is Arabic dubbed. The official OP anime was at 100s last I checked. They mostly dub short series (except for maybe Detective Conan and Dragon ball series and other 70 to 90 episodes series). The middle east is very passionate about anime since the early 90s, the vhs days, there were many rental shops for dubbed anime.
There are some Netflix-like official apps for Arabic media, spacetoongo, cartoonnetworkarabic, shahid and there are many Tv channels. Hopefully they'll start streaming subbed anime as soon as it airs in japan one day.
5 years is not possible in my opinion.
Oda wants it strongly but I would expect somewhere around 300 chapters to be left. That would be around 8 years I think.
Next arc after this one would be Holy Land arc - With CP0 being enemies, Strawhats getting their payback for Kizaru beating them as well as kicking Sentomarus ass(Luffy seems very ready to be able to beat Sentomaru with his Haki), plot of Kuma being getting to an end(with Strawhats "turning Kuma off") and Doflamingo secret plan connected to Immortality being brought up.
Last arc for me would be Elbaf and after Elbaf and beating up Big Mom + for example Loki we would see Strawhats going to get One Piece after getting last Stone to navigate to Final Island.
With Blackbeard getting there and last big fight before Luffy becoming pirate King.
Then some extra volumes covering stories like Rockey port incident as well as showing us some of legendary pirates and islands that were only mentioned.
We are probably half way through Wano at this point(maybe less maybe more).
So 2 long ass arcs after Wano, over 2 years each and 2 smaller arcs around a year for each.
7-8 years is realistic to me. Sure Oda has to give himself a goal so he does not drag anything but there is simply too much content to cover even if he would skip stuff.
10-12 years from now to the end of One Piece seems legit.
Somebody better inform Oda about this
"They figured it out now I gotta change it" Chapter 964: Finale
I believe Oda is legitimately scared that people will drop the manga before it ends, which is an understandable fear (even if it's super unlikely in the case of OP). That's why he keeps chanting "Stay with me! The ending will be great" in interviews and author comments and baits with "only 5 more years!"
A manga that has to be wrapped up prematurely is just such a pain to watch. It must be a total nightmare for a mangaka, especially if it concerns a life's work title.

It would be kind of adorable if that was his reasoning.

I also think it´s something to restrain himself by stating it publicly. If the interviews are anything to go by, it seems like the dude lives in a paradoxical stage of putting stuff in that he wants to draw and wanting ot finish it as soon as possible to finally live a life.

It's a huge dilemma and understandbly so. His daughter is in her early teens now i think. By the time one piece ends, she'll be an adult. (Does he have more children? i dont know) He missed 30 years of his life. How can you not question things when you put all that stuff into perspective. On the other hand, he has one and only chance to complete his life's work. Once one piece is done, it's done. He cant turn back time. It's a tough situation

Better than all the series that got cut short before there proper ending they deserved, I still get sad about Beelzebub
It's a huge dilemma and understandbly so. In the interviews you dont hear Eiichiro Oda the human being, you hear the fatique and the 20 years of never-ending work. "I just want to end it and move on" must be his everyday thought. His daughter is in her early teens now i think. By the time one piece ends, she'll be an adult.

I think he has 2 daughters. By the way i remember an interview about like 2 years ago where he said he also plans to visit a famous mountain before he writes the final chapters of One Piece,and he said he planned to take a 1 month-break to do so before writing and drawing the final chapters. I dont remember the details of this interview though,its just a memory i have,i dont know if it was a true or a fake interview either

The main reason he feels so pressured is because he wants to reach the final arc. Once he reaches that point i hope he takes a long break before starting the final arc. If you find that interview post it here. There's another interview i've been trying to find for a long time. There's a part in the interview where Oda talks about his art and how he doesnt focus that much on it anymore
An Italian youtuber named Sommobuta today made a live video where he talks about his visit at the Shueisha workplace (Here is the link
)Well i mean that he said that isn't in doubt.
AP isn't calling the editor a liar, they are calling Oda a liar.
Or too shifty to be trusted at least.
At one time he himself doubting what oda had said to him.
Now he sounded like having more confidence. Is it because oda has explain his reasoning of the 5 years prediction to him ?
Even if half of the readers leave, OP will still have more readerships than any manga( regular readers). So why bother about the story lengths? It's a simple gimmick from Naito and Oda…
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”

I think it is to attract more readers, Greg has mentioned before that One Piece has had some trouble acquiring new readers lately, because of the number of chapters, so I think Oda is saying "it will not be that long", "I will end it soon", "come and read it now", in the same interview Naito said that the start of Wano was like a "restart of the series" because of how it starts with Luffy and then Zoro, and so on… And that new readers or readers that left the series at some point can restart reading since Wano, even skipping many chapters in-between... With that, it is obvious to me that this is a marketing tactic to attract more readers.
I dont understand.. since when planning means lying?
In the same video that youtuber Sommobuta did,he says that the boss of Jump (interview he will pubblish in the next few days) told him that the modern shonen mangas have less battles and more character development than before,because there are more female readers nowadays,and also because,considering Japan problem with new births,there are less kids than before and the medium age of the readers is older now
Interesting info, thanks a lot namirobinfrankyace

You are welcome. Sadly i am not a very good translator so i cant translate all the stuff he said,but he seemed very excited about this experience,he said a lot of interesting stuff about how they work at Shueisha and he also had the chance to look at the next One Piece chapter! But of course he would never spoil it because thats the deal they made

This is an overly dramatisized version of his life.
Oda is the very definition of 'work hard, play hard'.
He's very serious about his work, but also serious about taking time off and enjoying life/family.
These days now more than ever he has time to enjoy life and what you hear in interviews is straight-shooting Oda that also knows how to say exactly what people want to hear.

Is this one of those our hosta… I mean guest is here under his own free will and can leave anytime he wants type of statements. I'm gonna go crack up an OP volume and see if there are any hidden calls for help written in the margins

I did make it a bit dramatic, didnt i? Especially the "human being" part. But im certain he thinks about ending the story everyday. He may be someone who fully focuses on the now but its always on the back of his mind and that is added pressure. I also know that he tries his best to do stuff outside of his work but almost all of his time is still dedicated to one piece. Anyways, Oda is a strong person and an artist through and through. I have faith that he'll pull through and finish the story as planned, despite the struggles ahead.
TV Show "Deadline CountDown" Confirm that Eiichiro Oda spent 3-4 in sleep each day, also 4 days for Manuscript and 3 days for Draw the final form of chap. and other stuffs
and Here manuscript for Chap 963:
!
Not quite an interview, but a second-hand One Piece anecdote from Greg on Twitter:
I think Oda's better with character development than he's often given credit for (a lot of growth is overlooked because it's both subtle and slow burning) but it's definitely a fair call of the editors to say his development could be a whole lot better on the whole.

I would say it's more that Oda focused on the wrong things in the first chapters.
Most likely, he didn't have the Luffy flashback at the beginning.

As you know, the spelling of Raftel turned out to be Laugh Tale in Stampede 5 months before manga.
Plus, the talk between Roger and Rayleigh in this week's chapter (968) was already shown in Stampede.
Maybe some people think they kinda got spoiled by anime…?
!
Both post-timeskip Lucci without mask and Aokiji appeared in films before manga.
Manga fans who don’t watch OP films have not realized that Aokiji lost part of his leg yet.
!I'd like to compile some Oda/editor's comments regarding this topic.
Oda: Fans may be glad if some events are shown in films before manga, but I don’t like that idea.
Film staffs have convinced me of approving it, saying films are some kind of a festival.
Once a certain character/event shows up in films before manga, my motivation declines so much that I don’t feel like handling that character/event in manga anymore..:sad:
source: Film Gold official guidebook “Backstage Pass” (2016)
Oda: I’d rather make post-timeskip Aokiji appear in manga before films. But Suzuki (film staff) disagreed with me.
source: ONE PIECE Newspaper (November 22nd, 2012)
Editor Naito: The meaning and spelling of Laugh Tale have never changed since more than 20 years ago.
Oda has told all successive OP editors about Laugh Tale. In Stampede, Oda gave us an approval about the spelling being revealed before manga.
It may mean how he is determined to wrap up the OP story.

I like that Laugh Tale was revealed in the movie because it gave us time to wonder why the hell it was called that, so it worked as a setup rather than a spoiler. Still, it sucks that things like that are imposed on Oda even when he is against it.
I don't like this. How is it that he can disagree with those involved with the film, but they still can push him to allow this? Is this him being a team player for the brand?
I would have rather gotten it in story. Funny thing is I still haven't watched Stampede, but i'm not so big on getting spoiled. It comes with the social media era. It's hard to have dope conversations over One Piece if you're the "don't spoil me" type.
I wonder if for 25th or 30th anniversary they will make live action movie instead of the regular animated one.

Shueisha and Oda have given Toei the animation rights, and thus ultimately have no absolute say regarding the narrative anymore, especially when it´s a new story altogether.
The only exception was Strong World iirc, in which Oda was actually involved beyond simple character design.
Maybe i might be mistaken but i remember an interview in which Oda underlines how Luffy and co in the movies are nothing like the protagonists in the actual story (was after movie Z) and should not be taken as such.

I know how the licensing part works. The issue is that Oda lets them in on manga details. If he feels that they shouldn't use what he told them, that's beyond the licensing agreement. Laugh Tale isn't something they created. That's something Oda was going to give to us in his own way

Key people know about these details though, including Laugh Tale, so that you can keep a certain consistent line throughout the story, even in adaptations.
And once they know, you can´t forbid them to use anything.
And regarding character designs, in the end Oda was also the one to come up with the post-TS designs and revealed them to the filmmakers, he could have chosen a different character design (there is nothing preventing that to be honest, considering how often the STrawhats change their outfits in these movies), after that it´s their choice to both include Kuzan in the story and use said design.

I think it is less him letting them know and more he being forced to do it to avoid inconsistencies once the movies teams set their mind on showing something. Like they decided they would show Lucci and Kuzan post-timeskip even if he didn't want to, so to avoid messing things up he had to reveal what they should look like after the timeskip.
As far as "Laugh Tale" goes, we can't tell based on sandman's post. Maybe that case in particular was something he actually went for willingly since I doubt the movie director would refuse to NOT show the island's name romanization if Oda asked it (unlike hyping people with popular characters, showing that name is not something relevant for the movie).

Agreed on the consistency part. It is to benefit the source material in the end. As a creative, certain things you just have little control over

Yeah, he was on board for the Laugh Tale part. I read that part incorrectly
I wonder why Oda bothers to divulge critical story secrets to anime group.Editors are different…....
Btw sandman wrote Lucci was revealed in stampede first but the reverie chapters were prior to zhe movie release i think

Does Japan has a US copyright type of law or a european author's right kind ?
Because that changes everything for such things
So Author's right it is, which means Oda has the moral rights on his work. So it's his decision and not Toei one

This is the opposite of what he said. He said that he agreed with the anime because if he didn't, Luffy wouldn't be Luffy and then it wouldn't be One Piece.

Hmm, i could swear he said something along the lines of not projecting the behavior of the strawhats in the movies onto the manga, since they are different.
Do you have a link to the Interview?

For the OP anime, there are 7 directors including Uda-san that take turns making episodes because you can't make a 30-minute episode in just one week. Every episode's director is listed at the end of the ending credits. And the person who organizes all of their work is, you guessed it, THE UDA KONOSUKE (whistle!).
4. If his opinions and mine do not meet, Luffy instantly ceases to be Luffy and the world becomes entirely different. Even if I create the most heart-wrenching moment in the manga, if the anime's "directing" is wrong, it becomes a forgettable scene. But the reason that doesn't happen, and in fact, becomes even more memorable in the anime, is thanks to Uda-san and his crew of Director-Fighters, for understanding the world of OP so well and their directing skills.

Well, yes. It's the closest thing to something he said that you probably misremembered. What you actually said sounds like the typical fan-made anti-toei musings. And you've got no source to boot other than "I heard somewhere."
