      Hello all,

      I have a question:

      • How many episodes will One Piece have in total?

      I have read something about 800 Episodes somewhere, but if that's true,
      how long will it take until the end?

      The episodes are released weekly, so if it will be around 800 Episodes, then we still have 400 episodes to go, which means 400 weeks.
      That would be over 7 years! Is One Piece going to be so long?

      I somehow doubt that this can be true.

        no.. Originally Oda had planned(or at least to my knowledge) to end one piece in 2005.. Not only that but in a SBS he said himself that he already has the ending planned out..

        Well since the strawhats are entering the "second" half of the grandline I would have to say at maximum under 800 chapters… But I really really doubt that it will be that long..

        depending on how fast he picks up and how many of the tons of mysteiries hes created I would say about 600 or a little over

          I say One Piece is half over. Which means 280 more episodes of the anime and 430 more chapters of the manga.

          Thats my guess, it was said Oda stated Skypiea was the halfway point but it turns out it was a rumor.

            well I kinda look as going to the "second" half of the grandline is like the second half of the manga.. To me the longer the better I just would never want it to die out without ended.. hahah I would have to fly out to him jstu to get the ended

                Well, either way it will take at least 4 years for the manga to finish off,
                and that really seems to be too much time for me.

                It's cool if its going to be long, but 4 years or even more is just too much in my opinion, since I want to know how this will end in the foreseeable future.

                How long did other popular mangas take to finish? Dragonball for example?

                  The Dragonball series lasted from 1984-1995. So 11 years. It has 42 volumes.

                  One Piece started in 1997, Christmas Eve 2007 will be its 10th birthday. And it currently has the same amount of volumes as all of Dragonball had.

                    Wow.. I never realized that this is such a long scale progress.

                    Such a long time to go until the end and I cannot wait even now!

                      1000 would be an excellent number to end on - Manga.

                      600-800 chapters could be expected, seeing as Water7 has been like 150 chapters.

                          I do hope he ties things up pretty soon, but not that it gets rushed. Though I do love One Piece, I would never say "the longer the better". Not that I want it to end soon, but I don't want it to be drawn out so much… There's still a lot of grounds to cover and I'd like to see it done well!

                            I think One Piece can go pass 1000 chapters if Oda is up to it….. there is soo many things yet to be drawn........ and the second half of the grandline looks like very interesting place......

                              Yeah!

                              It doesn't matter for me if it's going to take over 1000 chapter. I'm just want to enjoy OP world with happiness.

                              PS:
                              Oda-sensei, don't get rushed and ruined the story. If you do that, i will really get dissapointed.

                                Small error, if you are counting GT, well GT wasnt even made by Akira Toriyama so it shouldnt really count… All though One Piece is lucky that tis moving so steadily... now Berserk on the other hand... 😊 Im hoping its 1/3rd of the way done... its been around since 84!

                                Anyways though, I think with the way things are moving so fast and are being revealed I would say in 2 years it shoul should be done. (Obviously this is based on NO fact what so ever and is just a gut feeling.)

                                  How the fuck was I counting GT when I was telling facts about the manga which GT wasn't even apart of?

                                  My estimate has always been 800 chapters for One Piece, so that will be about another 6 years. Oda stated before he doesn't want One Piece to be his lifes work so don't expect it to go on forever. Even tho it would be nice if it did…Oda is the most creative man on earth so he could do it without it being drawn out.

                                    I say 450-500 chapters or episodes

                                    something like that
                                    and we can't forget spinoffs

                                    There are bound to be one of those

                                        Technically you're right, but I believe Buuhan1 was going off the tankoban releases, where the first tankoban was indeed released 12/24/1997.

                                          I feel like One Piece could practically go on forever if Oda so chooses.

                                          I believe when Oda first started One Piece, he had other aspirations. He probably wanted to finish the story and work on something else. One Piece gained in popularity, and Oda began to change the length of the story. Most likely, many of the ideas he had saved for other mangas he was thinking of writing have been or will be incorporated in One Piece. Basically, I believe he is putting together a body of work that encompasses all his creativity. He has created a very flexible universe for him to do practically anything (for instance cyborgs like Franky). It would be hard for him to come up with a new manga that would live up to One Piece. I believe his incorporation of ideas he may have had for other mangas keeps him fresh to continue drawing and writing One Piece.

                                          If all of the above is true, then I can see the series hitting a 1000 chapters easily. Also, he may be concerned about his legacy. Perhaps he wants to write a story that will literally be talked about decade(s) after it is finished kind of like DBZ.

                                              One Piece ends now.

                                              ONE PIECE…. It tames the savage geek.

                                                Err… One Piece started in August 1997. Why would Christmas Eve be its 10th Anniversary?

                                                Technically you're right, but I believe Buuhan1 was going off the tankoban releases, where the first tankoban was indeed released 12/24/1997.

                                                Haha, sorry bout that. I was following the tanks over the actual weekly chapters there.

                                                  If 1 chapter a week ~> around 40 chapters a year (52 but Oda might want to take a break from time to time)~> 4 volumes a year ~> 80 volumes in 20 years.
                                                  That would be nice, I'll be reading One Piece with my children, that will save a lot of comic books money.

                                                    Well with the rate the english translations are going at the moment that may actually happen even if the japanese version ends in a few years time

                                                          well I kinda look as going to the "second" half of the grandline is like the second half of the manga.. To me the longer the better I just would never want it to die out without ended.. hahah I would have to fly out to him jstu to get the ended

                                                          i took the latter half of the grandline as the second half of the manga tooo, so i would say we're half way home….so im guessing....430+430=860, heck 900 sounds better! so 900 is my guess.....and yea i would love to see one piece for a longer time than shorter time...its such a good anime...one of the best out there.....i dont want people to rush oda and he suddenly bringing everything out....he should keep the story smooth and good!

                                                          if i ever meet oda, ima point a gun to his head and tell him to tell me the rest of OP....lol then ya...i ll spoil it to all of you in this forum😁
