Thread 282997978

How is Shonen Jump preparing for it? Do they have a replacement in mind?

One Piece was gonna end "in 5 years" 10 years ago
This shit doesn't matter
Oda can always drag out any arc into a 3 year arc
>b-b-but there's only X Y Z A B C arcs left!!
Yeah imagine each of them 3 years long

>overrated trash ends
oh no

>>282997978 (OP)
They'll just start a new manga about Luffy's son

>>282997991
there's literally only two arcs left
laugh tale, and the final battle against imu

>>282998098
>second half of Elbaf (another year)
>man with the scar arc for 4th poneglyph (3 years)
>lodestone arc (3 years)
>raftel arc (3 years)
>war vs WG arc (4 years)
>epilogue (5 chapters)

>>282998098
Sorry, at the ~30 chapters per year pace, this shit is literally gonna take at least another ten years - Elbaf another year, actually integrating the revolutionaries into the story (including the necessary 20 chapter flashbacks), laugh tale (plus more flashbacks), Roger flashback, joyboy flashback, nika flashback, imu flashback, etc. You're here for fucking ever

>>282998160
>lodestone arc

>>282998181
Yeah, what, you think they're just gonna teleport past a whole island? You think Oda won't drag it out? lol

people have been saying this shit every year since 2015

Imagine if Oda dies,as a joke

>>282997978 (OP)
Speaking of which, Oda said that the eyepatch will be reserved for someone important, right? Anyone know who it'll be?

>>282998174
elbaph only has 15 chapters left. once the flashbacks are over in three chapters, loki is gonna share his haki with luffy who will rapidly take out all the gods knights and find a way to break gunko free of imu's control while the rest of the strawhats save the kids, save the library, and wipe out all the nightmare UMA

>>282997978 (OP)
TWO Piece

>>282998215
great post

>>282997978 (OP)
>soon
>coming 5-6 years
some manga start and end in that timespan and leave a mark in history
while slop like OP left no legacy in 20+ years and will be memory holed one week after the last chapter

>>282998160
>>282998174
And don't forget individual character flashbacks and conclusions, like Shanks, Dragon, Mihawk, Crocodile's secret and etc.

>>282997978 (OP)
imagine still reading this slop lmao

>>282997978 (OP)
One Piece will never be allowed to end. Shueisha remembers what happened to WSJ when they allowed Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk to end, so they're never doing that again. They will milk this cash cow in perpituity.

>>282997978 (OP)
I've heard this shit so many times, I believe it when I have the last chapter in my hands.

>>282997978 (OP)
more like 15 years

>>282997992
This thread is not about the quality of One Piece, it's purely a business discussion, wondering what's gonna happen to the biggest manga publisher in the world after its cashcow is dead

>>282998950
Digital era

It over

>>282998098
I don't think I can take Imu seriously as anything other than an arc villain.
Blackbeard is and always will be the only acceptable final villain.

Surely Oda will drop some plot points if One Piece is ever going to be finished in his lifetime. Which plot points do you expect to be dropped?

>>283000778
The dreams of Strawhats are pretty much dropped

>>282997978 (OP)
>5-6 years
>soon
you can have two entire new series starting and finishing in that time(for example, deathnote ran for 2.5years)

>>282997978 (OP)
>One Piece will end in the coming 5-6 years
Th-this time it will be true!

>>282997978 (OP)
Oda is dying before that, none of this matters

>>282997978 (OP)

One piece has minimum 10 years left

>>282997978 (OP)
Oda has a break every third week, which means 5 years is significantly under 200 chapters, 2 arcs worth at most.

>>282998298
Nah, One Piece will outlive most manga, unless the ending is a travesty. Though I wonder if most kids born after it's finished will be too intimidated by its length to start. I think a lot of recent fans only started One Piece because it's still ongoing, has unsolved mysteries to discuss, and the current anime looks appealing to a lot of people.

>>282997978 (OP)
>in 5-6 years
oh no! that's sad
that means we have to suffer longer than i thought

Oh no what is the company know for Dragon Ball and Naruto sequels could possible do once One Piece ends?

>>282998098
Naruto’s war arc lasted 5 whole years…and GUANO lasted almost 4 years too

>>282998098
Lodestar island, hunt for the final road poneglyph, Laugh Tale and the one piece, the war against Imu and Luffy versus Blackbeard, the actual ending where the world is remade so all the seas are one or something, plus all the curveballs that will occur between now and the ending.

>>283001338
People read long books I don't see why they wouldn't read a long comic

>>282997978 (OP)
Every 5 years One Piece is going to end in 5 years.

Oda is 50. He can't stretch it anymore, his health issues are getting more serious.

>>282997978 (OP)
It’ll be so surreal when it actually ends
It’s been around since before I was even born

>>282998202
this except togashi

>>283004765
It'll likely end before One Piece.

>>282997978 (OP)
>Implying Oda will live that long

>>283001338
>One Piece will outlive most manga
many manga got influenced by the other big 2. what manga got influenced by one piece?

>>283006427
Manga like One Piece will never exist anymore. It's a relic of its time. Childish shit is no more
