All of East Blue through the timeskip was one "saga". Everything New World through Kaidou was one "saga'.
That designation doesn't mean much.

Does anyone know if Jump magazine is being sold anywhere else in Asia aside from Japan? I'm in Hong Kong for a few weeks and wonder if any book / manga stores carry it? I know they have japanese tankobons but last time I was here I haven't seen much more. Thanks!

There will likely no post-OP arc since Oda already went on record that finding One Piece will mark the end of the series.

Context is important. When Oda said "It will be over whenever the One Piece is found in the series," that was about someone asking him about the series ending in five years back when he gave that deadline, rather than just continuing forever.
Luffy's not going to have a bigger more interesting thing happen than whatever surrounds the final war. So once Oda tells the story and Luffy is pirate king, that's it. He won't find One Piece and then have another twenty years of island hopping random adventures just for fun, the story WILL have an end.
That probably doesn't mean "find the treasure, that's it, fade to black like the Sopranos, no resolution for anything" but "the adventure around One Piece and what happens when it is found is the biggest and the last one I'm personally going to tell."
Obviously he was being vague to not spoil anything, and he might mean exactly that, all the conflicts might be on the way to Raftel instead of after, but its hard to see how that works structurally since we know they learn the secret history there and then have to decide what to do about it. It'd be weird to topple the world and THEN find out "oh i guess they really were bad," (But also get a really funny joyboy story?)
Oda could very easily end it at a strange spot or very suddenly without a conclusion to anything but that seems strange and against what the story itself has built up and promised.
So take his ending quote in context of responding to a specific question with "I'm not doing this forever" more than "I'm stopping cold on the five year mark without any follow up or resolution."
Also remember his "five years to go" quote was four years ago now.

I personally do see the Straw Hats finding the One Piece in the penultimate chapter (but we don't see it). But then the epilogue reveals what it is and elaborates on it, as well as Luffy's ultimate dream.
I do not see a big war after the OP is found. The big war will be the path for it, especially with all the Emperors already having made their declarations. Honestly, it was never up for Luffy to topple the WG because he learned something about the past. It will just be a natural consequence of his fight for the treasure (and it's possible Blackbeard or the Revolutionaries may do so anyway)

Rayleigh said explicitly "We found the treasure and faces with some truths and didn't do anything about it, maybe you'll come to a different conclusion." and Whitebeard with his dying words promised someone would find it and there would be a great war.
Sure it's possible Oda has a way in mind to tell the important backstory and Joyboy's tale post war to add context to everything that just happened, as he has done with things like Skypeia or Fishman Island... but those are consistently before the final action, They give context to the conflict we've been seeing, and allow catharsis and emotional payoff at the last moment for the big final clash.
And it'd be weird to do the omniscient narrator flashback when we know the characters are going to read that story eventually... and Rayleigh specifically spoke of a choice to make.
For all that Luffy is the fated chosen one, it'll be really strange narratively for them to do all the big things, get to Laugh Tale and discover the true history and just shrug because its already meaningless to them. That feels incredibly wrong. (Especially with Robin)
I have no idea what the race to Laugh Tale will involve, or when everyone gets their long promised ancient weapons, or how that'll all tie together... but narratively it sure feels like it makes more sense for them to go where the explanation is and then act on it rather than it be an afterthought.

Roger and his crew are different from the SH. The history of the world is only important to Robin. Luffy has no real interest in it. And I don't see him being moved from some ancient tale. He could still do what needs to be done by just being his lucky self.
It's very possible that One Piece is not really something hugely important to use in a war, and that the conflict will bring all the relevant parties to the literal end of the world. It definitely feels better than having the SH tie up the series' biggest mystery and then prepare for a new conflict right after. In fact, I would argue Oda would a save a lot of time by doing so.
I also could see the inevitable void century flashback playing before that conflict and still keep the OP a secret.
-
@King-Cannon said in Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !:

Old Luffy maybe not. Modern Luffy was paying attention and really moved by the story of Oden. And has come more and more to accept thae fact that he's responsible for protecting places under his banner even if he doesn't want to be a hero or get credit.
And... even if Robin is the only one currently super invested in the true history (and Law in the Will of D) should her entire goal be an afterthought? For her to only learn after it stops being relevant to anything? Or should it be actually important to the story and the world?
And we're going to need some sort of catalyst for everything to move. For Wano to be attacked and have its weapon taken. For Fishman Island to fall. Those both might be tired to Caribou selling info to "that person"? For Luffy to actively deal with all the bad world nobles, for the good marines to rebel against the bad ones. Dealing with Imu. For all of Luffy's allies to show up for the big finale. Possibly destroying reverse mountain and shaking up the entire grand line if that theory I hate pans out.
There needs to be a trigger for all that, something to move Luffy to go back to the middle, to have a decisive battle that actually changes things instead of just win one skirmish, and for everything to come together... not just everyone stumbling over themselves at the finish line for a one off battle with no real stakes or change involved.

Wano's weapon will be taken by whoever Caribou spills the beans to.
Again, this is assuming Luffy is the one who will even bring down Mary Geoise and the World Nobles. There are several other actors who are capable of doing so, particularly Blackbeard and his recent interest to become an official WG king, which seems like an obvious throne usurping plan (going back to what Rocks wanted).
-
It doesn't have to be Luffy but it's gotta be someone with a straw hat.
And Blackbeard clearing the decks of the smaller fry to become the final baddie is fine, and likely, (I expect him to take out Imu and declare himself king) but he can't be responsible for ALL the cleanup on ALL the different assholes that need dealing with. That's too clean, too easy, too devoid of the main character doing anything about the injustice in the world.
Or "Luiffy is just having fun, Dragon and Sabo will do all the actual important stuff off camera" is a bit of a cheat.

Luffy doesn't need to be the one to actively bring justice to the world by directly taking down the WG. We have a whole organization focused on that already, as well as several Marines just waiting to turncoat.
Luffy already does enough by fighting local threats, which then snowball into larger worldwide uprisings. Just look at the after-effects of him beating Doflamingo.
-
Luffy doesn't have to personally handle every single detail of fixing the world, that's for the good marines and revolutionaries... but he's gotta do SOME of it, he's gotta do the BIG things that no one else can. Just beating down a random pirate or a random shadowy dude by itself while everyone else does the actual work doesn't really tick the boxes compared to him leading the charge.
"We've waited 800 years and for the time to be right and the mermaid princess to be reborn and sent the Wano crew to an exact time and Roger waited so.... Luffy can fight Blackbeard on the correct Wednesday?" doesn't really feel right.
There's gotta be more to it than that.
-
I also took Oda's statement about finding One Piece ending the series to mean finding it and all that it entails. The goodies and fallout that go with it.
If One Piece were to end on Laugh Tale, treasure found and fade to black, I wonder what that would mean for the dreams and ambitions of the crew. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and Robin could and probably would have easily fleshed out scenes in regards to their accomplished dreams leading up to the treasure. Does that mean others get little epilogue honorable mentions? Franky and Brook would in all likelihood have their dreams accomplished at roughly the same time and right after the acquisition of One Piece so I could see their reactions and scenes given plenty of breathing room.
With the less tangible or further reaching goals I feel like Oda would want to give each of his main cast some sort of due. There is no reason why Oda couldn't draw a quick but still great epilogue covering the other dreams after acquiring One Piece. A quick montage of dreams. Franky crying coming over the Reverse Mountain while Brook cries over seeing Laboon's giant head in the distance. Jinbei sheds his tears over the slavery being absolutely abolished world wide and some doctrine of civil rights being written up by the powers that be. We see older Chopper again from the SBS carrying that little bag of dust that will fix anything and Nami balling to Nojiko showing her completed world map.
I could envision it working out like that but I imagine Oda wanting there to be a final war and restructuring that would allow for more weight and fleshed out scenes to the rest of the crews goals.

Oda said in an interview something like "It will be over whenever the One Piece is found in the series," and that was around when he had given his five year deadline.
(The important context being the reader was asking why he was ending the series rather than running it forever. "Because it has an ending.")
People did the math and no one could figure out how Oda would possibly cram everything into five years so obviously we were going to do things like skip Elbaf and have a minimal finale.
Rather than Oda just getting his estimate wrong like he always does and that when he said five years we should interpret that as 8-10.
So actually the opposite of the "Wano is five acts" crowd, they were trying to figure out how to make the series smaller rather than bigger.
The other end of the spectrum was the speculation that we were going to get to the One Piece, the series would take a break, and then we'd get One Piece Z where Oda then spends another 15 years on the war or something.
Anything to make work the "The series ends when he finds one piece" and "it ends in five years."
-
The Rio Poneglyph is supposed to be on Laugh Tale alongside the One Piece, so the series ending just as they find it would seem odd before the world learns the True History.

Hey Greg, quick question. Given the tendency of Shounen manga to have incredibly long final arcs (Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, too many to name) and Wano being the longest arc in the series so far..
Do you think Oda was using the act structure as some sort of test for a potential structure we will see during the final arc?
If the speculation is true and Maryjois is the final arc there is a high chance we will have even more actors than on Wano... Surely having the arc structured into some sort of miniarcs like "Siege At G1", "Adventure In the Capital Of The World" or "Redline Ascent" would make sense, right?Also, can you elaborate more on why the five act theory was weird to you?

-
@Nidhoeggr said in Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !:
Also, can you elaborate more on why the five act theory was weird to you?
Because it was based on absolutely nothing.
People read a wikipedia article about Kabuki and suddenly everyone was an expert and trying to break down Wano in a way that contorted to an exact structure.
And even though not every Kabuki play is five acts. And that breaking it up that way, mostly because people didn't feel the pressure or stakes were high enough... (basically "the fights aren't cool enough to actually be the real final fights") would involve resetting the climax and stakes and add another two years to the arc in order to fight the exact same enemies again.
Yeah its weird that no one used awakening, and Nami and Usopp got robbed... but it was pretty clearly the final stint of the arc for a long time.
-
On the Final War thing, another possibility is that Luffy gets to Laugh Tale and we see him finding all of the world's history, but the One Piece is in another room. Then we flash forward to the Final War, and get a full arc that ends up with Luffy beating Imu and liberating the world. Then we get an epilogue chapter, where in the final scene we cut back to Laugh Tale and show the SHs finding the One Piece.
Remember the OP and the Rio Poneglyph are not the same thing.

I mainly liked the idea of having five acts because it would seperate the super long Onigashima raid a bit more clearly. Having a fourth act mainly reserved for Kaido and a fifth act epilogue seemed like good stopping points. But I guess that would necessitate a cutaway and therefore spoil developments happening outside of Wano during Act 3.
-
Whether the final battles will happen on Laugh Tale or afterwards, I do think the great war will already be fully underway before we get there. Most major characters are already active, the revolutionaries are about to wage war against the celestial dragons and Imu has just caused worldwide earthquakes. It will only keep escalating from here.
I always imagined this massive war will last weeks, months, maybe even years.

I wonder if Greg is waiting for something before doing a deep dive into the Rocks pirates members, seems like he skipped over that chapter of the flashback
But knowing Greg there’s definitely a good reason
-
@Shiebs
Either that, it was cut because he was on point or it’s not that important to him. -
It's an interesting discussion, and he's definitely right about One Piece getting the soul of the original work down better than some other adaptations. That kind of thing can end up mattering a lot more than line for line accuracy. Hopefully the live action lasts long enough that a few people like this who don't have the time or inclination for the full manga get at least a sense of the worldbuilding the series is capable of.
I also appreciate that Brandon at least always seems to have in mind that a manga is the source material, not an anime. That happens way too much in casual discussions, you even have Dan stumbling into it a bit during the video.

He's had lots of stuff cut before for various reasons. Being too on the nose, getting a plotpoint years ahead of time, or guessing something that would be irrelevant by the time of publication.

@Shiebs
I'm avoiding them largely because I'm not terribly interested in them AND BY THAT I MEAN I don't know enough about Rocks themself to have any terribly interesting ideas or theories that I'd enjoy dedicating time to. I could certainly dartboard it, but we know so very little about them that we can't even know for certain how much Oda has written in stone for them and their relationships.As for the crew, they're exciting etc. but I'm not interested in them so much as I am in, specifically, what horrific betrayal did they suffer that made them disband.
I think the deepest I ever went was pondering whether or not Rocks had Luffy's fruit.
The more I got involved with the series and knowing how it gets made, the less I get excited over characters we don't know much about or haven't even been revealed yet...at least not to our knowledge.
Not trying to sound jaded, I just focus more on established characters and relationships in articles ever since the Wano/Momotarou incident.
....and even then I still get articles cut! ^_^;
-
@Greg thank you so much for the response Greg!
Can’t wait till we finally meet Rocks, obviously Oda is holding him off for something big
Also think it’s cool lots of the Thriller Bark Zombies seem to be from the Rocks Pirates, there’s the bearded elephant guy, the gunslinger, obviously Captain John and it looks like there’s two other guys too look similar to two of the zombies,
Also i think the Synergy attacks in the new FF7 Rebirth game reminds me of all the awesome team up attacks the Straw Hats do!
Also about getting excited for characters we don’t know about yet, who else interests you? Me personally Loki, the man with the burn scar, Rocks (obviously), Wang Zhi/Ochoko, and Eye Patch guy

1108 is one of those chapters where I have an anecdote that I can talk about after the series is done. It's not some major earth-shattering theory etc. just as I suggested, an anecdote. If you keep track of that stuff, there it is. Otherwise I'm likely to forget about it entirely someday ^o^ It's related to the VA's.

Since it's now public that you've worked on the show and the season is out, is there any small anecdote you're now free to share?

@Shiebs
The demo left me with headaches from the background on Graphics mode and the Performance mode made everyone look like they were smeared with vaseline. That soured me severely in the week heading up to release but I spent about an hour toying with my TV's settings and low and behold, Graphics mode's backgrounds became 'passable'.So I went in feeling tepid but having set those settings and now having sat down for about 35 hours with it, I'm over the moon. Their ability to adhere to making the open worldness of it feel MEANINGFUL and not just simply checkmarks like Assassin's Creed has become is their greatest strength in this format and it's a dream.
And, as expected, the writing, JP voice acting, drama, action, gameplay, and of course MUSIC are all top-notch. The translation is, unfortunately, mostly subpar and continues to make the characters WAAAY more snarkier than they really are while also removing small nuances/quirks, changing names for what doesn't seem to be any reason (maybe they had names in the original I don't remember, that's entirely possible), and often making explanations far more verbose and complex than they need to be.
You know the 'folios' right? 'Folio' doesn't really mean anything special to a normal English reader, right? There's no reason for it to sound so haughty. And yet the Japanese is simply 'Skill Book'. As in English.
"But Greg, if they say it in English in the JP version, shouldn't it sound exotic in translation?"
Sure....if your average Japanese person doesn't understand the term 'sukiru bukku' means (spoiler: elementary school students know those words). They're not meant to be difficult to understand in JP so why bother calling them something odd in English?
Anyway, sorry, that's just my distaste for fanfic-sounding localization work.
