Fuck, bros. Why? Life is too short.

What drives a mangaka to autistically hyper-focus on a single childish story for their entire life and die young while barely enjoying fame and fortune? How do they ignore the voice in their head screaming, "Holy shit, retard! You're wasting your one shot at existence on a shallow, ugly, repetitive battle shonen!"

>>280198251
money

>>280198273
that you can't enjoy because you spent all your time drawing an ugly manga for little kids

>>280198301
Maybe when he retires-ACK

>>280198009 (OP)
If Life is short, why the fuck was Wano so fucking long. I took a break for a while when ODA introduced the 50th new character in that arch. And then Jumped back in when I heard of Cross Guild.

>>280198009 (OP)
it's a publicity stunt, japanese admire the spirit of sacrifice, it's like saying in usa that you eat 10 hamburgers a day, admirable! i'm going to be a fan

>>280198515
Wano was supossed to be the middle story /yonko saga climax that's why.

>>280198562
Way too much samurai shit, I would have preferred for Wano to be Zoro arch to have mirrored WCI only for Luffy to come back in time for the raid.

>>280198009 (OP)
"Life is too short", he said, sitting on his ass, smelling his own farts.

>>280198562
Is that why the Yonkos themselves were a mere afterthought in that arc?

Have you people considered the possibility that he's one of those guys who doesn't consider drawing manga "work" and genuinely enjoys it more than anything else
He is one of the lucky few who makes lots of money doing what he loves. Nobody can work on something for 30 years while viewing it as a chore

>>280198009 (OP)
>spend so much time writing a story
>it sucks worse every year
Hacks gonna hack

>>280198846
and his art keeps getting worse.
Compare it to when he first started Romance Dawn to the most recent chapter of One Piece and the difference is staggering

>>280198515
Oda was working on Wano during a period where Japan was going through a major nationalism resurgence.

Literally every manga anime wouldn't stop glazing Japanese culture and talk about how great it is.

Let's hear some examples that don't involve GATE

>>280198251
>>280198009 (OP)
Mangaka are crazy, you need a drive no sane person would have to commit to the job

>>280199016
GATE is the most egreigous example, but there was also Record of Ragnarok and Monster Hunter Rise were also pretty bad about this

>>280198251
Didn't we do this before?

>get 3 hours of sleep a night for 30 years so you can draw the same arc again and again and again

>>280199056
>Record of Ragnarok
I don't see it. And similar fighting tournament manga with various historical figures (basically glorified FGOs) have non-nip protags dunking on the nip characters. There's an all-female one with Joan of Arc as the heroine for example
>Monster Hunter Rise
I don't play vidya but is that the Japan-themed one? What's wrong with having one set in notJapan among dozens of regular fantasy fare? What is nationalistic about any of this shit

>>280199152
Ok so there's no point in discussing this with you further

>>280198009 (OP)
He has a story to tell. If you write or draw or do any other creative thing, at any level, you understand.

>>280199370
No one gets three hours of sleep every night and dies 20 years early because they're too obsessed with their story. That happens when you get captured by other forces.

It's such a Japanese thing to forego parties, travel, athletics, leisure, and beautiful women--in short, the good life--for some random goal that society says is noble. One day it's protecting the Emperor, the next it's making content for the global capitalist machine. It could be picking peanuts out of poop and you'd still get Japanese dudes lining up to be "numba wun" at picking peanuts out of poop.

never forget

>>280199818
this is true btw. while you sleep your body get the maintenance it needs. be sure to sleep well and nice anons.

>>280199818
He literally outlived Tezuka by 30 years. He probably finished more manga just by living 50% longer even if he worked less. Most mangaka are retards.

>>280199796
>parties, travel, athletics, leisure, and beautiful women--in short, the good life
Yeah because the tech giants and Hollywood celebrities who have it all have such happy, stable lives

>>280198515
Oda got bored of One Piece and wanted to write a samurai manga instead.

>>280199056
Don't forget about Tenkaichi
>>280199152
Record of Ragnarok is ridiculous though, they make Lu Bu and fucking Adam lose before the first winner is a fucking jap samurai, and amongst all of humanity's history and the many great warriors they could have added, half of the fighters are all Japanese lmao

They find drawing entertaining, just like you find sitting on your ass shitposting on 4chan all day entertaining. Neither lifestyle is healthy.

Better question is why the fuck does nobody notice or call it out
Is everyone else a bot too? Or stupid enough to pass for a bot?

Unironically why don't Japanese mangaka work like the American comicbook artists? I mean separate the writing and the drawing, maybe hire colorists too. I'm sure SJ could afford it, it would balance out the workload. This way Oda could've focused on the story while his minions copy his style and maybe even improve upon it

>>280201092
Why yes they did like to party. Renaissance was a wild time. >>280201232
Just a different economy. There are some duos that do the division of work like that. One thing is when you come up with a work you own the rights to it. When you work in America you work on someone's else's property. You could publish your own original work but unless you publish online it's expensive to do. Colour costs a lot more money to print and manga is printed on very cheap paper so it's cheap to buy.

>>280199875
His output, while massive, was less than half of Tezuka's.

>>280201232
>Unironically why don't Japanese mangaka work like the American comicbook artists? I mean separate the writing and the drawing, maybe hire colorists too.
cause they want more creative control

>>280201232
>I mean separate the writing and the drawing
Many of them do
>maybe hire colorists too.
Color print is expensive, the manga business model is built around affordability.
> I'm sure SJ could afford it, it would balance out the workload. This way Oda could've focused on the story while his minions copy his style and maybe even improve upon it
Jump doesn't create One Piece, Oda does. If Oda wants to hire an artist to draw the series for him, nobody's stopping him.

Because they're not interested in putting out globohomo slop.

Tbf it only became a generic battle shonen after the timeskip.

>>280198009 (OP)
He's got like $300,000,000 in the bank retard.

>>280198009 (OP)
I don't know if it's Oda's pride, or his greed, or whatever, but he could just hire an artist to draw for him and reduce his workload by like 70%. And we'd have good art instead of shitty scribbles that we've gotten the last 10 years.

Everyone would win

>>280203162
>muh globohomo slop
You mean, by opposition with One Piece?

>>280203209
>just delegate bro
This mindset is the reason why he is an artist and you're... well, whatever you are.

>>280198251
You're wasting your life on 4chan while not making a single cent

>>280203258
When the artist can't art, then yeah I think he should delegate.

I've just seen Dr stone where they almost never took week breaks, the pacing was great, the writing was good and creative, the art was fantastic, all because they worked together instead of for some reason the industry standard was to leave the entire creation of a huge franchise on the back of one person.

>>280198251
>enjoying fame and fortune
Remember, that's your biggest archenemy and the source of your most terrible doom. He is guided by his divine artistic inspiration. He knows his purpose and has fully dedicated himself to it, just like the artists of the Renaissance era. You also better find your true self and your purpose and passion.

>>280203369
>oda
>can't art
Had you said Togashi or any other artist with health problems mayyybe I would have conceded the point but Oda? Yeah no go impale yourself on a dragon dildo.

>>280203443
4chan is run by peak contrarian culture. It's our lifeblood. Don't expect a sincere response.

>>280203443
I'm being a little hyperbolic, but the early art is way better than the terrible art of late. If he just hired someone to immitate the art style of early/mid one piece, it would be way better.

>>280203162
That's because of America, not because of separating the work

>>280198009 (OP)
>>280198251
This isn't true anymore at this point. After several health scares and operations, Oda takes his lifestyle more seriously. And he always goes to concerts, plays, events, meets mangaka, actors and anime crew for parties. So while he still goes responsibly about drawing an ongoing manga, he definitely lives his life at the same time having fun.

>>280201232
Because the more people come into a project, the more does the original vision get distorted. That's what makes manga unique.

No such thing. Either find yourself an able partner, or go to the office and tell them that you need a partner, and there you go.

>>280198251
he likes drawing, it is a simple as that, I've seen a person who is a foreigner but made as a mangaka talk about it and said person said they don't even like going to the movies because it is 2 hours of not drawing

>>280201232
>manga should copy the absolute failure that is the american comic industry because work is le hard

>>280201142
I understand being passionate about doing what you love, but I can't imagine spending twenty years on the same characters, plot, setting, etc.
It sounds tedious and exhausting.

Not to him, toriyama was exhausted after 10 years of dragon ball but oda doesn't seem to be tired at all of one piece

>>280201232
most retarded post of the year, no one fucking likes american comics and they all look like dogshit

This thread is full of retards, Oda is drawing, doing something he loves, he is filthy rich and so is his entire family. He works on a comfy studio, he doesn't take the public transport, he doesn't have to lift weight, he doesn't need to work with annoying co workers, he doesn't have to deal with costumer service and you ask him why doesn't he quit? My dude he is living his dream.

Remember this, every time you are the subway and Shaniqua and Tyrone are blasting off their jungle beats, Oda is sitting at his comfy studio drawing big anime tiddies.

>>280212218
He can quit drawing tomorrow and he would still be all that and freer.

>>280199818
Mizuki was also a WW2 vet with a missing arm and he still outlived his peers by a huge margin.

>>280212271
he doesn't want to, why is the concept of enjoying your work is foreign to you? just because you hate his job doesn't mean he does, like I said here >>280211915 these people enjoy drawing more than anything in life

>>280208434
>>280208434
>Le original vision

If anything, Oda's mind needs to be put in check. If his editor wasn't a wet napkin he would've rightfully forced Oda to shorten Wano and cut half of the supporting cast, primarily the Akazaya and Yamato.

>>280212400
western comics are absolute dogshit garbage, you should shut the fuck up right now and never express your opinions again, posts like yours make me think the japanese are right about being racist

Hara releases chapters more consistently than Oda. Same age, both weekly manga. And Kingdom's art didn't go to shit yet
I bet Kingdom will end before One Piece too

>>280212424
You will never be Japanese, CSM tranny

>>280212459

>>280198837
That would make him an autist anon. Most people like sunshine, going for walks, banging women. The derive such contentment from a pointless manga that doesn’t say anything, takes truly, a super autist’s mind.

>>280214270
>Most people like sunshine, going for walks, banging women.
what makes you think he doesn’t do all that and more?
he’s married in case you didn’t know, so how desperate are you to portray a rich and famous artist as a loser?

>>280212443
Hara's got an entire team working on Kingdom, I think. Don't quote me on that though

>>280214270
And so what if Oda is? It's good to have something you're passionate about. As a drawanon myself, it does give you an incredible sense of accomplishment when you finish a piece and a shitton of mental anguish during the process, but we don't talk about that

It's literally creating something from nothing. That process of creation, bringing to life what lives in your head, can give you an addictive high. It's hard to explain.

Now I might not be as much of an autistic machine like Oda is, but I would be a hell of a lot less happy in my life if I didn't have drawing. I've drawn for hours daily for years now. I love it. I get antsy if I go on a holiday without bringing any drawing materials with me.

Everyone's different.

>>280198009 (OP)
>Fuck, bros. Why? Life is too short.
If Oda was immortal he would've dragged Wano out longer.

>>280198009 (OP)
>get 3 hours of sleep a night for 30 years so you can draw the equivalent of a video game that can't be played

So why is he making the most obvious and amateurish mistakes? He has the money to hire people drawing for him. He even takes a break every 2-4 weeks.

I think he's just lying no way someone spent this much time and money on a project and the best jokes he can come up with are >speaking trough farts
> may I see your panties
over and over and over again.
> sanji being a nigger to other men (but also a faggot tranny)
> Nami is a whore
> chopper randomly mixes 2 random chemicals and gets the solution to a plague within 10 minutes
> usop is scared again guys, please clap now! (also, he is a nigger)

After the timeskip they bacame so fucking 1-dimensional...

Even a newbie mangaka could write better plot points than
> punching and get punched for over 50 chapters
> fake out deaths fake out deaths fake out deaths fake out deaths fake out deaths...
> I eat meat and therefore have infinite +1 stamina. Literally unbeatable as long as I get meat

And this is just the tip of the iceberg . The only redeeming qualities are blackbeard and the admirals

>>280198251
He has accomplished more than any anon on here could dream. Especially OP.
