The idea that there are 12 people out there that know the end of One Piece just blows my mind.

[@thesmilingknight4982]

mayhaps not the end but the one piece, or parhaps they know just as much as oda or just about a little less, its crazy cool tho, and it really feels like they are his true crewmates that will go down with him xD

I feel like everything who eventually works with oda on one piece turns into a ride or die. I don't remember this correctly but it was mentioned that oda asked a new assistant if they were willing to die for one piece and that if they did die he would take care of his family.

[@y0sh_]

they probably have to sign an NDA when they get hired so as to not leak any information before it comes out. Also they are probably so passionate about One Piece that they don't want to ruin it for anyone especially not Oda

[@nathanl8622]

@@y0sh_ I'd assume it's a mix of both. There's no doubt an NDA on that, and even if there wasn't leaking it would definitely cost him his job (and probably ruin his reputation within the industry), but I also don't think you become the editor to the biggest manga ever by chance.

The Dragon Ball editor was like an antagonist in this video

[@RomanTorchic]

Yeah he gives me bad vibes

[@DrFunkPpT]

That’s a really funny statement. Torishima famously had a notorious temper. When Toriyama first worked on Dr. Slump, there was a famous incident where his editor got on his goose so bad, that Toriyama made the main villain of the series a crude caricature of his editor named “Dr. Mashirito” (his editor’s name backwards). Torishima was going to reject the idea immediately, but they ran out of time and had no choice but to publish the chapter as such. It’s one of those legendary meta jokes that can only be replicated in the fast paced medium of a weekly manga serial. To put into perspective how influential Torishima was, his personality was the main inspiration behind the creation of King Piccolo.

[@Trefox87]

​@jeevanpujara2029 just seeing Oda's initial sketch of the straw hats shows we missed some really wacky crewmates, and sense he's trying to end the story, we're probably missing so many random side stories and characters it's insane. I feel that's a big part of why Oda didn't bring Carrot and Yamato with the crew sense they would need their own character explorations that we don't have the time for at this point

[@just.a.random.ava.-_-]

Yep, and I've even heard that there were originally going to be no 7 Warlords, like the Strawhats would've directly fought the Emperors and just ended the series then and there 😭😭 thankfully we did get the 7 Warlords, and even got to explore all of them, it made such a big difference in the overall storyline.

Yeah I feel like people ran with that and mythologized it. Most likely he was building these characters for the later arcs for the most part and just revealed them all here.

[@azraeldusk2154]

Maybe he had a rough character concept or story ideas, but that's not a done character. The character designs themselves were created in a few hours. Sure, drafts may have existed for some, but that doesn't remove from the fact that he created a bunch of influential characters in the span of some hours.

[@blokvader8283]

Yeah because, as someone who's trying to write a story too, it's easy to come up with a random character idea and then as you go along with the story implement that character more and flesh out a full backstory for them.

[@NeatChill]

Also it could be that the characters were made quickly but without any backstory yet. The backstories we got then were sorted out later when more time was available, like for Bonney and law

So you're saying I have to become a _One Piece_ editor to learn what the One Piece is? DONE! I also didn't realize that editors only seem to do 3-4-year stints on the series.

Shanks loosing an arm did make the moment a lot bigger, but it also feels really inconsistent with how strong we know that he is now, you couldn't imagine other greats like Kaido, White bear, Big Mum just losing an arm like that

[@ascexmir]

It was a good shock value for shanks to lose an arm since it was the beginning of the story. I agree with you though, it seems pretty inconsistent with his power. We all know shanks didn’t actually need to lose an arm he used his haki to scare the beast away lol.

[@vermelliwoolf8889]

You can also make the argument that he was more focussed on getting there in time than scaring the beast away. I mean, I guess that’s why it’s not a dumbo shark that took his arm but a whole big-ass sea monster. Shanks was a Warlord level power force if I reckon correctly by that time, so I guess, in a stretch, he made a mistake because he was in a hurry. Sometime I spot stupid decisions by characters in One Piece, e.g. Brulé could literally just let people starve to death in her mirror world, or can stay forever in her mirror world if she fear Big Mom to kill her so much (or just easily dodge her presence), her power is so incredibly OP to have a pocket dimension, but I say “Stupid ain’t Incoherence”, with Sanji not remembering devil fruit user can’t swim when Luffy drops in water at Baratie “Forgetfulness ain’t Incoherence” too. I give em’ excuses all the time, cus in our world too, sometime, we are forgetful or stupid. So long as Oda doesn’t break some important set-in-stone rules of his world, it’s fine by me. Sidenote: I have that image if Brûlée could’ve hid Pudding in her Mirror World and nagged on Kuzan and Auger trying to get her from a mirror, biggest of troll ever. That would be assuming they knew they wanted Pudding but, Brûlée has a good power to help evacuation, surely even better than just evacuating by boats in general. She could also blackmail people with embarrassing picture of them all the time with the mirrors in bedrooms and bathrooms. IMAGINE THAT! But Brûlée is just actually stupid with her power it’s incredible. Stupidity and Forgetfulness have to be forgiven at this point. xD

[@stefthorman8548]

did you missed the part where, when asked what happened to his arm, he said it was an bet on the future, aka it was an calculated move to make luffy indebted to him

[@zeromagnum2811]

the easy excuse is that he was in such a hurry to rescue luffy that he didnt defend against the sea king and thus lost the arm by focusing on saving luffy. Kinda like how whitebeard got stabbed by one of his own men at marineford.

[@KevinVideo]

"Luck" is a huge component in life. Whenever actor Bryan Cranston is interviewed, he will bring it up and hammer home just how important someone's luck component is, even going so far as to say that there is no he knows of, who is successful, that doesn't mention a "lucky break". One quote reads: "It doesn't matter if you're good. If you're just good, you won't succeed. If you have patience and persistence and talent and that's it, you will never have a successful career as an actor. The elusive thing you need is luck." Oda had the talent, but needed both luck and guidance to make One Piece a reality, and I'm glad he was given he was given the chance to make this a reality. Given how off-the-rails Akira Toriyama went with the Buu Saga when editors were told to just leave him be and let him do what he wants, I can understand why there would be people who are concerned that Oda can't be told things to keep him reigned in. I don't think we'll get to a point where we'll get things like the ending of Promised Neverland or Dr. Stone, or the Buu Saga of DBZ, but I do wonder how differently Wano could have been if an editors had stepped in and told Oda "sudden amnesia doesn't work in fiction as a trope."

[@NintendoSegaGuys]

The facade of the genius mangaka who planned all of One Piece from day one is slowly crumbling but I'd still say the relationship Oda's had with his editors over the years is pretty unique in regards to how it influenced the manga, still better than the shouting matches Tite Kubo has over the phone with his editor.

[@sgnox7781]

I mean it was never really true and most people can figure that out seeing how long the series is going for and how shounen jump works. However the impact Oda has with his story on a lot of people and industry as a whole can never be understated, just like dragon ball the story has tons of issues but its impact can be felt even to these day and prabobly decades in the future

[@NintendoSegaGuys]

@@sgnox7781 I agree except the "tons of issues" part.

[@sgnox7781]

@@NintendoSegaGuys So what one piece does well is crafting memorable characters that can inspire us or the story it's also extremely creative in the world building aspect it also has some moment we will remember for the rest of our lives .Which is why we love and plenty of other people love one piece and it has such a hug impact on us and the industry as a wholem But if you look at the story it does have tons of issues, things like fake out deaths removing the tension in early one-piece, plot conveniences like characters being dumb so the other character can have their moments, retcons of powers and inconsistent power system as a whole, one note villains except doffy, stretch out moment like raid of onigashima, jokes sometimes ruin the seriousness of what's going on even though it's handle pretty well for the most part, same gags repeated throughout the story like Sanji being pereverted. We also have things that create t nsion but they are overused like Luffy every top gear has time limit or other drawbacks, time limits like birdcage alabasta explosion, falling island etc Overall there is a lot of issues you can point to I could name a lot more but personally for me what one piece does good outweighs negatives and I think most people feel the same

[@NintendoSegaGuys]

@@sgnox7781 I'll try to answer each point in order: lot's of series use fake out deaths, I've accused works of having characters act dumb for plot so I won't argue, One Piece has very few retcons compared to other manga and is known for being consistant across the board expecially in regards to powers except in cases of mistranslation or easily correctable mistakes like Ace and Luffy being brothers, Vice Admiral Bastile being apart of the giant race and Katakuri being a logia user, the series has it's roots in comedy so wheter it disrupts with pacing is up to personal preference, Sanji being a pervert is a positive but I don't expect everyone to like everything about anime & manga.

[@JLP627]

Really good, really unique OP video here 😊

[@Modie]

Tbh, I would be interested what the thought process behind the Davy Back Fight Arc is. To this day, my head cannon is that this was a "filler" arc for Oda to get some time. He didn't intend for One Piece to be so long, so when he knew he got the chance, he decided to plan out a good chance of the rest of the story. And in order to get that time, while also still publish chapters, he made a "gag" arc that doesn't need much planning and is just a bunch of funny games without any actual story to it. And because he had more time, he was able to plan out future stories that he would want to delve into. Not saying, he planned everything, but he planned what stations should be done during that time. I feel, it would make sense as this arc is squeezed in between the Skypia arc (which felt like a typical "original" Oda arc where it's a lot about the wonder of this new island) and the Water 7 arc, which suddenly starts to introduce the larger politics of the world. To get this back to the editors, I would love to hear what the discussion process was. I mean, the editor must have really trusted Oda to do such a thing. An arc like Davy Back Fights could totally kill a series if the following arc isn't super strong to catch the readers again. Therefore, I don't think this is something that Oda could have just done without a lot of talking to his editor and the editor giving him a huge trust bonus to take a risk like that.

The only thing with Shanks losing an arm is the issue of Haki, which isn't made clear until later.

Shanks losing his arm is actually a massive plothole. Shanks already had a bounty of over a billion and mastered haki. Luffy beat that very same sea king with one punch at the start of his story. And you're telling me that's what took Shanks's arm? No shot. Though yeah maybe it wouldn't have been as impactful if there was no consequence. Now if it'd been Makino...

[@mattiblub1623]

It's just crazy how long One Piece has been going on. You could use One Piece chapters as historical reference at this point.

[@BaxsStudios]

Im 100 sure bonnie always was supposed to bd there. Yes he wrote the supernovas in 1 day but I think its more the idea of the supernovas, that doesnt mean every supernova was invented at that day. The themes with bonnie her clear connection to Kuma from the start makes me belive she was shoved into the group then to be an invention for it

[@thechatteringclown]

Eh, more like Oda probably cleverly improvised, and decided to give that role to Bonnie, rather than having to invent a completely new character from scratch. It's probably a very similar situation to what happened to Vivi. When she was first introduced, Miss Wednesday was not written as Vivi. It just so happened that Oda needed a princess for the upcoming story arc and he felt like Miss Wednesday looked the part, so he decided to completely change her character direction on a whim. Probably something similar with Kuma and Bonnie. He decided he needed a character to be Kuma's child, so he settled on Bonnie, whom he didn't have any other plans for yet.

[@jacobmartens3810]

Oda's Genius isn't being a master planner who has known everything from the beginning, it's building his story as he goes and coming up with new ideas based on the pieces he has lying around.

[@cartoonishidealism582]

Guys. He had 15 years between Bonney’s introduction and her backstory reveal to figure out how to make her backstory fit perfectly. That’s more years than One Piece had EXISTED FOR up until Sabaody. There are some hints about Bonney being Kuma’s daughter early on - I definitely think Oda solidified the idea of Bonney being Kuma’s daughter by the time of Marineford, but after that he had 15 YEARS to flesh out all the details of her backstory to make it fit with prior details. It’s far from impossible.

8:15 Thank you for the clarification

[@ZeanG_]

The more we know about the production and making of one piece, the more it sounds like an actual anime base around mangakas

[@Chugargonfan]

Shanks losing an arm is ridiculous tho considering how powerful he was revealed to be. If he was regular then yeah that would have been a great addition. Now it’s just ridiculous. Ridiculous the beast 20 times bigger than him only took his arm. And ridiculous that shanks of all people got harmed at all in that encounter

[@Boxmediaphile]

there is a balance when editing a creative you have to give them space to be creative but wrangle them when they go off the wall

[@angelofdeath7207]

So what I'm getting here is the editors have to tone down Oda's work so our minds don't literally explode when we try and comprehend his true genius. Except for the Sabaody editor he basically went "MORE...MORE...MOREEE" which is why sabaody/marineford is so goated.

[@GOATZILLA69]

where did you get that shirt? its not on your shop :,(

[@lumswaifus]

The historical record bit 🤣

[@erikgilson1687]

I am 100% not buying Oda putting the blame for his increasingly fan service-y drawings on his editor around the time of Amazon Lily, especially considering they only got more and more ridiculous after the time skip and oda is literally on record from a few years back saying he just enjoys drawing boobs

[@bobbysworld281995]

"Cut his arm" Shanks Powerscalers: I won but at what cost?

[@chaoticdreams9467]

13:06 respect to him. Respect for all of them.

[@spawsgoober]

i cant believe law was just made on the spot, dudes like one of my favorite characters

[@brawl8]

Editor. Build up your characters. Oda : I took that personally! Me: Thank you 🙏! .

[@arvc-5224]

liam i have been watching you for years and these are the type of videos i love the most and i stand by the fact that you are the highest quality one piece youtuber out there, but i want to say, i know that break weeks get dry, but please don’t come out with videos like what if sanji was gay, gives your channel a bad rep.

[@bcbloxxer9734]

Bros begging 😭

[@xxtextraextrathirsty8119]

thats pretty cool

[@TheRealChacorta]

Kinda wild how all these little actions from one person influenced the greatest story I’ve ever witnessed. All these interactions could have been overshadowed by any IRL event and yet here we are

[@olimna574]

Wasn’t expecting 5 min gang

[@systematicbarometer4853]

man, i never thought about how painful having a freshly made arm stump would be wading in salt water

[@pabs-mugiwara]

1:50 I know it's not a big deal, but the Straw Hat's crew was at its 9th member before timeskip, with Franky and Brooj! Jinbe, and perhaps Boney or Kizaru as the rumors say, are the only post timeskip Straw Hats!

[@dorky2958]

Here's to say that no matter what circumstamces are you in, your words/actions can change the world

[@Silkanaa]

I just wish current editors would tell him his drawing style is getting worse to his face to shake him up. Action panels are a fucking headache to decode now. Just compare a fight in Alabasta then to nowadays' panels, it's crazy how unreadable the action is.

[@randommaster06]

One Piece actually ended in chapter 1. Everything since has just been Luffy's dream before dying of blood loss from stabbing himself in the face.. One really, REALLY long dream. Like, wow, kid, you have a lot of blood in you. This has been going on for a while. Makes me feel like we could have gotten you to the doctor with time to spare, but we're just watching you bleed out. I could have become a doctor and treated you in the time you've spent bleeding, but I'm just standing here due to morbid curiosity.

[@MIDE.]

Have we talked about the time time fruit just sitting somewhere?

[@BlackShadow-nm5bw]

You see I think someone by mistake has already jumped 20 years after Toki died So maybe as OP is in the final phase we will see who it was and I hope he's a good guy please be one 😢

[@legend3454]

I like to imagine that Oda told every editor the One Piece was something different so he could know who to trust.

[@higgeltypiggelty1605]

I mean i feel like “one piece is 60-70% done” quote was pretty on the money since it's in the final saga

[@RiceCooker-san]

Just thinking about it makes me more and more excited to find out what the one piece truly is

[@davidsiatatgaming]

The story about the 9th editor editor and his ex made me laugh out loud
