How did he not get fed up with One Piece? Toriyama wanted to end dragon ball after 20 chapters, Kubo wanted to get axed for years, Horikoshi was absolutely done with the manga and almost died trying to finish it, and don't even get me started on how Fujimoto is absolutely done with chainsaw man.
Meanwhile jump has to force him to take a monthly week break so he doesn't die like he almost did during Dressrosa
This may come as a shock to you, but some people actually enjoy their work.
Oda is one such person.
op has clearly never drawn art.
but for almost 30 years? yesterday I heard some people talking about how one piece is fated to have a bad ending like the previously mentioned manga but I genuinely don't think it will happen because unlike the others Oda shows to signs of being done with the manga
I do tho, i'm lurking the depths of Anon Babble
Perhaps he just doesn't know what else to do with his life?
Do your life drawing reps kid
Oda right now
$$$ and yes he's absolutely fed up with the story. anyone with a brain can see it clearly.
kek
if that's the case why dosen't he just end it?
He's just making it worse for itself by continuing.
It probably helps that despite being a "pirate" manga, Oda can and has and does put absolutely anything he wants in One Piece.
Because he thinks its a bunch of fun to draw the manga that his drawing. Bittter schizos will never accept such happiness.
he's absolutely fed up with the story
he is definitely not, compare it to current chainsaw man, THAT is somoene who is done with their manga
I do think he's tired but it only shows on how neglected the secondary cast is, when it was undeniably the best part of the early days. Ever since timeskip (arguably ever since Thriller Bark) One Piece is an excuse for him to doodle whatever thing he's in the mood for for three years in a row which creates the illusion of worldbuilding, and is how he's keeping his sanity. Sometimes this really is to the detriment of the story, like how he shoved the most embarrassing Goemon Ishikawa caricature down everyone's throat for like 5 years.
because he gained lots of money and became a freemason. Its good he didnt because now tens of millions like his shit worldwide
Hes just better than all the other authors you mentioned, simple as.
If Oda dgaf about One Piece, he'd be done with it already. It'd have ended way earlier, and even have a rushed ending. The fact he's taking this long shows that he gives a fuck.
Because he had an end in mind. He wants people to see it, problem is also that his producers made him take a 7 year project to a 30 year one because the wanted to milk this franchise. But he loves manga and anime. He wanted to make something that people would enjoy.
I mean he took a month off because Toriyama died. That's how much this medium matters to him personally.
He tried. It was the publishers at shuiesha and other publishers who wanted it to go longer than 7 years. So he came up with the shichibukai to extend the story. He is still under the thumb of his producers.
Goemon Ishikawa caricature down everyone's throat for like 5 years.
10 years*, kin was introduced in 2012 and only left in 2022
The magazine gives Oda very generous pay and plenty of vacation time for the sake of keeping his hands/arms/shoulders healthy, and all he has to do is keep farting out a chapter of One Piece now and again. It's a great job if you can get it.
He’s the definition of find joy in your work and you’ll never work a day in your life
He's the richest Manga artist ever. So I guess the pay. One Piece is also larger than it's ever been. Most people quite when their sales, praise and attention died off. That hasn't happened for Oda and One Piece yet.
kin
imm-fucking-plying
God almight Kin'e Mon and the brat sucked so much ass, what a painfully overdrawn, slow, wet fart of a character. Literally!!!!!
But I meant Oden. Oden is clearly a Goemon Ishikawa ersatz, he's got the reference to his death, and the funny-shaped hairdo.
why did he have the ruin the themes of his manga with destiny bs though
Go abck to Naruto faggot
Same reason he had to ruin the action with embarrassing dollar store aura powers I guess
Oda likes to use various parts of history and lore to his characters. Kinemon looks like goemon here and Oden was a mixture of ibisumaru and goemon and other shogen. But mainly Oda likes to use those really important moments to show their death.
Shame every part of it sucked fucking cock and it was a tremendous waste of time
Every single shonen manga is not about Rock Lee.
Isn't Naruto about that exact same boring bullshit though? Isn't he like the re-encarnation of a god beast from space or some crap, and Rock Lee ultimately was some shitter that didn't amount to jack shit? I'm never reading that abject garbage but from what I absorbed from osmosis that seems to be the case.
Wano was too long agreed but I enjoy the series as a whole.
one piece faggots really think luffy being joyboy 2. 0 and having his powers isn't reincarnated shit
It was about hard work until they said Naruto was ninja Jesus.
Luffy was never set up to be an underdog though.
some guy whose name nobody even remembers wonders about fate
it totally foreshadows that Luffy is the prophesized chosen one
In all creative industries there are people who work on one series their whole life and there are those who work on lots of different titles. Oda certainly isn't the only mangaka to work on only one series his whole life. Off the top of my head there's Takao Saito (Golgo 13), Momoko Sakura (Chibi Maruko-chan), Gosho Aoyama (Detective Conan) and Yuji Shiozaki (Ikki Tousen). Note that most mangaka who work on one series their whole life still take on other smaller projects. One shots, collaborations, commisions for other projects, and so on.
However I would say that manga especially seems to be an industry where most success is a one-hit wonder; there are very few mangaka who have created multiple highly-successful series. Most successful battle shonen mangaka are known for their one series; even if they have created other manga afterward, those manga might be popular enough to be profitable but they never even come close to the success of their previous manga. For comparison, most well-known film directors or game directors have created multiple successful unrelated works.
Naruto himself is a terrible example of "hard work" since he always gets saved by his kyubi powers and those are the only reason anyone ever gives him the time of day, he never learns shit on his own, he was ALWAYS ninja Jesus. Luffy's ascent to godhood was gradual and rose to ludicrous levels, kind of in the same way Naruto kept getting more and more gifts. Contrast to like, Little Witch Academia's second season which was about how the ultimate prophecy was kind of worthless and dangerous in the hands of a retard protag, yet at the very end, Akko is seen flying a regular broom on her own and we end on that. Naruto and Luffy and company are just inheritors of god powers with the intellect of a five year old that never learn anything lmao they're just power fantasies for dummies that never want to learn jack.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say, while I don't think Oda wanted Loof to be the sun god's reincarnation at that point, he already had a D. in his name, an he was the son of Dragon and crap, so he was poised to be a big deal, at the very least, also
forgetting about Woop Slap
I just find it weird how many mangaka distance themselves from a cash cow and then immediately make nothing but derivative versions of said cash cow. There's having similar art across all your work, and then there's telling the same story but everyone has spiky hair instead of being bald
Who do you think should be considered the greatest mangaka if we are just considering the number of hit series they created?
The narrators note in the first chapter calls it "a destined journey". I know I am talking with Naruto faggots who havent read one OP chapter but still, a single Rock Lee flashback has broken the entire Narutofags psyche at this point
I would say Rumiko Takahashi who has made Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha.
Not him but for me it's Shotaro Ishinomori or Go Nagai whose work even influenced other mediums. Go Nagai in particular has a ludicrously influential body of work and popularized eroticism in manga, giant robots and hyper violence, and Ishinomori basically created every classic tokusatsu hero, and was arguably the first ever mangaka to be pushed to the levels Toriyama or Oda would be pushed to with the long-running Cyborg 009, down to the point his burnout was a cautionary tale to many of popular authors fell prey to, even Oda yes. Personally I'd say the former because Sabu to Ichi is a better comic than any powerlevel shonen ever made.
Maybe he likes it idk
How did he not get fed up with One Piece
The quality of the story in the last ten years should tell you he did.
