[fallen meteor]

some episodes will have to be 2chs i imagine

[ashen perch]

I imagine they won't actually drag those chapters to just one episode, they can be covering more there

[fallen meteor]

theres some that are just action basically

[ashen perch]

Yeah

[trim lily]

i don’t mind episodes being 1 chapter if it means expanding scenes

[hazy echo]

It depends on the episode

Toei didn’t wait for the next episode for the Kuma punch for instance

[tranquil blade]

I mean the chapter is also only 15 pages long

[ashen perch]

It just depends yeah

[glass plume]

most of them look amazing

[trim lily]

like in god valley we could really use seeing more of the other rocks pirates and other people fighting

[ashen perch]

Its 17 pages

[tranquil blade]

Is it

[ashen perch]

Well minus the cover page

Its 16

[hazy echo]

The average OP chapter is like 16 pages

[tranquil blade]

Sigh

[ashen perch]

But its the average length

[ashen perch]

It was just clean and spacious in its use of the layouts, so it went by quickly

[hot cairn]

wait whats going on with the OP anime

[ashen perch]

It wasn't as packed as usual

[hot cairn]

they announced Elbaph already?

that visual looks cool

[hazy echo]

Since NYCC yea

[ashen perch]

Yes, One Piece is going seasonal

[hazy echo]

We already have concept art of the characters

[hot cairn]

[hot cairn]

holy shit

[digital spear]

New YC City?

[hot cairn]

did they say if they’re adapting more than 1 chapter per episode?

[hazy echo]

New York Comic Con

[hazy echo]

Still 1 chapter per episode

[fallen meteor]

just that the minimum is 1

[ashen perch]

Egghead wraps up in December, Jan to March is a break, Elbaf starts in April, and there's gonna be 26 episodes per year divided into two separate cours

[hot cairn]

Zoro looks so green

[hot cairn]

ahhh

[hazy echo]

We also got concept art of Nami and Robin for the Heroines thing

[ashen perch]

They said it'll stick to 1:1 ratio at minimum

[haughty saddle]

Yo this is big news

[hot cairn]

anyways this was a good idea

[haughty saddle]

So we’re essentially gonna be a seasonal anime now

[hot cairn]

should’ve done this years ago

[hot cairn]

nice

[ashen perch]

Definitely but better late than never tbh

[hazy echo]

I do wonder if we’re getting a One Piece Kai after everything is ocer

[ashen perch]

The final saga is gonna be done justice, the last 12 years of the manga!

[hot cairn]

isnt that wit piece

[ashen perch]

Its a lot yknow

[hazy echo]

Nah that’s One Piece Brotherhood

[tranquil blade]

Doing this 6 or 7 years ago when Wano started wouldve been ideal but it's good they're finally doing it now

[hot cairn]

btw no wit piece news?

[ashen perch]

FMI remake was more like Kai, but it was too rushed

[ashen perch]

STOP

[haughty saddle]

Had we paced it out back then, we could maybe go into a seasonal 2:1 now

But alas

[ashen perch]

also did you hear, its actually confirmed that officially, there are only 67 chapters of Egghead

[gloomy tree]

that would have meant Wano would have been even longer in years

[ashen perch]

Not 68

[tranquil blade]

That's okay

[haughty saddle]

If every episode can be at the quality of last week’s bcuz of it, I’m all in

[fallen meteor]

nope

[ashen perch]

Folks, Avery is making a 67 joke, don't reply seriously

[tranquil blade]

You told me the opposite a week ago dont lie to me

[tranquil blade]

IT IS A SERIOUS MESSAGE

[ashen perch]

Its official now

[hazy echo]

One Piece Kai would be like them going back all the way from the beginning to remaster and recut the anime, possibly even redubbing some stuff

[hot cairn]

damn

[ashen perch]

68 was the wiki count, but the wiki was wrong

[hot cairn]

whats going on with wit piece

[tranquil blade]

Did or did Wano not start 6 to 7 years ago?

[ashen perch]

Nothing at all

[gloomy tree]

nobody knows

[hazy echo]

Wano was pre Covid

[tranquil blade]

No news ever

[hot cairn]

One Piece deserves this ngl

[hazy echo]

6-7 years ago was like WCI/Reverie

[ashen perch]

It was 7 years ago in the manga and 6 in the anime

[tranquil blade]

So what you're saying is

[ashen perch]

No

[hot cairn]

so chapter 1125 is part of Elbaph?

[hazy echo]

Oh wait actually

Wano started in the manga in 2018 and the anime in 2019

[ashen perch]

Oh I'm not sure actually Jesus, we'll know based off the chapter that the anime takes the break on

[hot cairn]

so like FMI

[hazy echo]

Yea

Although the FMI remaster has issues

[hot cairn]

they should do what they did with FMI for Punk Hazard and Dressrosa

mainly Dressrosa

[ashen perch]

I wasn't a fan of it, just too rushed

[hazy echo]

I’m still mad they cut the Franky and Luffy joke

[hot cairn]

I see

[ashen perch]

They shouldn't ever be cutting things from the manga

Its just not a good idea

[hazy echo]

https://youtu.be/9l_fOhTQ5jM?si=6ARSUEFVPH-YhOl6

Mfw this got cut

[ashen perch]

On the stream, they actually emphasized on the importance of that

[hazy turret]

Every I go

[ashen perch]

In how they're going to treat Elbaf as an arc

[glass plume]

when will they ever adapt the Enel coverstory

[hazy echo]

Honestly

[tranquil blade]

Every I go

[ashen perch]

Like they're going to stick as closely to the manga as possible now

[lofty gyro]

I don't think they would cut things from the manga 🤔

[hazy turret]

Shit up

[hazy echo]

They should actually start getting around to that right now

With the break being a thing now

I guess it could be like

[tranquil blade]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-early-stream-ishowspeed-mouth-ishowspeed-lol-gif-8933552898013389101

[ashen perch]

I was talking about the weird FMI remake

[hazy echo]

Dedicated special episodes

[lofty gyro]

9 episode until egghead arc ends

[vapid gazelle]

when one piece is over we will get all the cover stories animated trust me

[hot cairn]

that means no added Sanji scenes?? I’ll believe it when I see it

[hazy echo]

The FMI remaster cut stuff

[lofty gyro]

Ah I see

[glass plume]

i've been wanting the Enel coverstory adaptation ever since like...

[ashen perch]

Yea, likely minimum stalling too

[prisma idol]

Is the anime now a semi-seasonal, it's practically a two-cour anime every year

[ashen perch]

Its seasonal, proper seasonal

[distant vine]

People will watch this then call Zoro the dumbest SH

[ashen perch]

Its a split 2 cour anime now

[distant vine]

😭

[hazy echo]

2nd dumbest

[ashen perch]

Oda did that

[frail kindle]

cour

[hot cairn]

wouldn’t seasonal be if it’s one time a year?

[hazy turret]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-angry-speed-mad-fortnite-gif-2915950508601492907

[glass plume]

it's a bit of a fumble then, considering that the Enel coverstory specifically holds some lore

[prisma idol]

I think this is for the better

[hot cairn]

better than full seasonal?

[prisma idol]

it allows for more content to animate and also allows them to make quality content if they give the animators time

[hazy echo]

Cover stories being adapted now is more like if it comes to play with the current plot

[ashen perch]

Nah

[vapid gazelle]

when one piece is over we will get the rocky port incident animated, trust me.

[hot cairn]

damn OP’s popularity must be huge if they’re making these changes to the anime at this point

[ashen perch]

26 episode series are still seasonals, and they're even splitting the cours so its even better

[hazy echo]

OP has been gigantic since the Covid

[distant vine]

Is it true theyre covering one chapter per episode?

[hazy echo]

Yea

[glass plume]

wonder if they'll do Yamato's journey

[hazy echo]

It’s been like that since Egghead started

But more consistently

[hot cairn]

so itll be 13 episodes at spring and 13 episodes at fall?

[hazy echo]

It hasn’t been too bad in Egghead barring some episodes

[ashen perch]

Yea Jesus

[prisma idol]

2 cours tend to have enough content for the year along with having better animation than a weekly anime. anime that run for just a season tend to end a little too quickly for my tastes

[hot cairn]

are they accounting for Oda breaks?

cause how many chapters ahead are we?

[ashen perch]

I imagine yea

[prisma idol]

think of it being similar to other modern shounen, they also do the 2 cour system

[ashen perch]

We're about uhh, 50 chapters ahead? Not sure

[fallen meteor]

me after my brother asks for unlimited mcdonalds when he's praying

[hot cairn]

fair enough

[glass plume]

is KNY a 2 cour anime?

[hot cairn]

I see, so this is actually sustainable for them

[prisma idol]

I believe so

[hazy echo]

Not really

[hot cairn]

like Oda can take his breaks without the fear of getting to close to the anime

[fallen meteor]

is oh mein gott the funniest way to say oh my god

[prisma idol]

perhaps

[ashen perch]

I think they do both their cours together, so its a worse schedule than split cour

[hazy echo]

The first season was but with Demon Slayer they more like adapt a full arc annually

[hot cairn]

oh I didn’t know that

[fallen meteor]

how does the dutch say it
lets see

[hot cairn]

I thought seasonal meant new episodes every few years

[glass plume]

i watch so few modern anime to the point where i don't know what is what lol

[fallen meteor]

i'm a fan of mijn

[prisma idol]

No seasonals just mean the anime airs for that season

[hazy echo]

It’s mainly just airing times

[ashen perch]

Idk I haven't been caught up to KnY's anime for centuries, the first season was 26 episodes released every week for 26 weeks

[hazy echo]

So if something is Fall 2025 then the anime will air during that season

[tranquil blade]

I'm happy one piece arcs are so dense because it means they can never turn one of the arcs into movies

[prisma idol]

Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall <- We are in this season now iirc

[fallen meteor]

gv flashback movie soon

[hazy echo]

With Demon Slayer they moreso just adapt a full arc annually

[hot cairn]

but for example, will they animate all the 26 episodes on a row or would they have breaks to animate cour 1 and cour 2?

[hazy echo]

The exception being the current one which they’re making a movie trilogy

[hot cairn]

my message was responding to this

[ashen perch]

One Piece's schedule will be even better because its a split cour, meaning there's a break after 13 episodes are released

[prisma idol]

Cours just mean that it's airing for more than one season

[hot cairn]

@ashen perch @prisma idol @hazy echo

[hazy echo]

We don’t know yet

[dense haven]

it actually means oda will be taking more breaks so they have to slow down

[prisma idol]

We don't know yet

[hazy echo]

Some animes do that some dont

[prisma idol]

Monthly One Piece

[glass plume]

maybe MHA is a better example

[prisma idol]

actually Jump Giga One Piece

[fallen meteor]

someone stop him

[hazy echo]

Hi Goku

[hot cairn]

so OP’s airtimes is oficially spring 2026 and Fall 2026?

[ashen perch]

Yeah basically

[hazy echo]

The first cour is Spring 2026

Idk if the second one is Fall

Don’t think I heard that one yet

[frail kindle]

wtf is a cour

[ashen perch]

They mentioned its in two split production parts

[hazy echo]

12 episodes basically

[fallen meteor]

its like a season but they chop it in half

[frail kindle]

stupid ass word

[ashen perch]

Which means split cour, there'll be another break after the first 12-13 episodes

[glass plume]

i'm rubbing my brain at this

[hot cairn]

monthly one piece is real

[prisma idol]

Its just a block of 13 episodes

[hot cairn]

I see

[ashen perch]

A unit of broadcast: In Japanese television, particularly in anime, a cour is a three-month unit of production. It typically includes 10 to 14 weekly episodes and coincides with the four seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall).
Multi-cour series: A series that runs for a longer period will be described with the number of cours, such as a "two-cour" or "four-cour" series.

[glass plume]

so, 12 episodes in spring and 12 in fall?

[hot cairn]

ahhh

[sturdy steeple]

I’m ready to kiss the producers.

[hot cairn]

okok I think I understand it now

[ashen perch]

In recent years, anime studios have begun to air some series in what is known as a "split cour" format. This is where half of the series is aired one season, followed by a break (typically one season), followed by the second half

I have just started copying the definitions smh

[hot cairn]

then yes, this was 100% the best choice

[prisma idol]

Most are just seasonal or 1-cour. Then next most common is the 2 cour

[gloomy tree]

i mean they called it 2 production times so i guess they do 13 and 13

[ashen perch]

But hope that clears things up

[hot cairn]

whoever is in charge of that should get a raise

[hazy echo]

Yea it’s not really confusing

[hot cairn]

now that I get the gist of it, this are some amazing news

[fallen meteor]

i'm going to make a 24 cour season with 1 week between each

[sturdy steeple]

Can you make a sandwich instead

[glass plume]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-big-news-big-news-gif-19264199

[fallen meteor]

did it yesterday

[sturdy steeple]

Make 24 of them

I dare you

[hot cairn]

woah, cour 1 might end in chapter 1138 (the mural chapter) @ashen perch @prisma idol @hazy echo

[fallen meteor]

spicy mayo cheese fillet mignon from lunch

[hot cairn]

I just did the math

[dense haven]

I hope they bring auras back

[fallen meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/robin-nico-robin-aura-haki-luffy-gif-26735121

[ashen perch]

I'm thinking its not gonna be strictly 1 chapter per episode

[stone terrace]

NO auras

[ashen perch]

We can reasonably expect more than that

[tranquil blade]

Robin thought this was tough

[sturdy steeple]

Spice, that’s not needed. Oda incorporated characters that scream “AURA” when you see them in Elbaf.
Gaban, Loki, Rocks

[hot cairn]

cour 2 ends right before the flashback

[glass plume]

why does everyone forget Harald

[fallen meteor]

if we ever make a bet and i win this will be your pfp

[gloomy tree]

i mean apparently they have talked about Egghead almost being 1:1 and Elbaph will be 1:1 but i guess we will see

[sturdy steeple]

I think it will be different for every episode.

[hot cairn]

but didnt the news said it will?

[prisma idol]

Yeah it going into a cour format means we should theoretically have better pacing

[ashen perch]

It'll depend like keep said

[sturdy steeple]

Like I don’t expect all to be 1:1 but that should be the general thing.

[hazy echo]

It‘ll prob depend on the episode

Like remember when Kuma punch was 2 chapters

[ashen perch]

1:1 is like the constant minimum chapter count

[tranquil blade]

As long as it doesnt dip below 1 chapter it should be fine

[ashen perch]

But if an episode can go for longer than 1 chapter, it will

[sturdy steeple]

But huh, it means that we’re getting by to GV somewhere in 2027.

[ashen perch]

Like the Kuma punch yeah

[hot cairn]

yep

[stone terrace]

26 episodes a year isnt even bad

[leaden rivet]

I miss Robin

[fallen meteor]

they need to go over 1 sometimes or else the episodes will be all like

[prisma idol]

Its normal

[stone terrace]

The next bleach part doesnt even come out till like next year

[hot cairn]

cour 2 could end before the flashback starts

[stone terrace]

😭

[fallen meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/truck-pole-crash-never-loop-gif-14434541554966139173

[sturdy steeple]

Well, gonna take a while

[leaden rivet]

I hope she gets to do something big this arc

[sturdy steeple]

But hey, manga is peak

[prisma idol]

If anything weekly OP is super abnormal

[hazy echo]

Yea

[ashen perch]

Cour 1 probably ending with the Mural, Cour 2 ending with the start of the flashback I think

[hazy echo]

One Piece has way more stuff going on that the standard SJ chapter

[hot cairn]

yep that’s what I think as well

perfect stopping points

[ashen perch]

So it'll be the year of the flashback in 2027, full year

[prisma idol]

So they are finishing egghead before implementing this system?

[hazy echo]

Yea

[hot cairn]

it looks like

[hazy echo]

Egghead should end by December

[hot cairn]

so Egghead ends this December?

[prisma idol]

Ive only seen they went into cour formatting, not anything else

[ashen perch]

Yea, in December it ends

[hazy echo]

Since the VP broadcast is about to start

[gloomy tree]

seemingly yeah

[hot cairn]

how many episodes are left then

[formal wagon]

So egghead will end in december??

[sturdy steeple]

I’m actually surprise it’s gonna end in December

[fallen meteor]

seemingly yea

[hot cairn]

me too

[ashen perch]

Egghead ends in December, Jan to March is the break, April is when Elbaf begins

[prisma idol]

Like 10

[sturdy steeple]

Even without breaks it looks weird

[hazy echo]

Egghead has like a good 15 episodes left

[glass plume]

Egghead will end in December?

have they even started the message yet

[hazy echo]

Yes

[formal wagon]

egghead december

[hot cairn]

like if we think they’re doing 1 chapter an episode do they have time to end in December??

[prisma idol]

Yep

[fallen meteor]

seem ye

[glass plume]

oh

[formal wagon]

it is a winter island

goda

[prisma idol]

They are almost to the escape i believe

[formal wagon]

eggead dece

[glass plume]

damn that went fast

[formal wagon]

mber

[sturdy steeple]

They said they’re gonna go on break in January so it might still end in January

[fallen meteor]

semye

[ashen perch]

Aren't we only like 7 chapters away from the end

[tranquil blade]

I wont say it but I think so

[glass plume]

Saturn's death soon

[formal wagon]

egghead ends in deceber

[ashen perch]

Nah Keep, December was mentioned as the last month

[tranquil blade]

It wont be long

[prisma idol]

Wouldn't honestly know i only have a vague clue of where its at

[hazy echo]

This was the latest episode in Egghead

[ashen perch]

Yea I haven't been keeping up lol

[sturdy steeple]

Bro, am I forgetting stuff

I thought we had more chapters left

[prisma idol]

Oh yeah, I remember now, people were saying Nami upscale

[ashen perch]

But we're close to the end

[glass plume]

we have the Joyboy stuff left, right?

[formal wagon]

does egghead end in december because its the strongest or is egghead the strongest because it ends in december

[sturdy steeple]

Yeah but I think there might be recaps and stuff again.

[ashen perch]

Egghead was very quickly wrapped up, so only 7-8 chapters left

[leaden rivet]

Im still wondering what oda has planned for Usopp and Kid this arc

[hazy echo]

This was also in the latest episode

[leaden rivet]

Kid I’m starting to fear may not come back

[gloomy tree]

1147 adapted 1113

[formal wagon]

"egghead was quickly wrapped" 😭

[sturdy steeple]

I might cry

[gloomy tree]

so its what, 11 more

[fallen meteor]

its because it's very smooth and round like an egg

[sturdy steeple]

Don’t post this cool ass scene…

[hot cairn]

not at all

[glass plume]

we're not gonna cut you slack just cause you're senile..!!

[fossil nimbus]

Brook cut Saturns leg, Rocks cut an Imu controlled Saturn leg. What does this mean for brook

[formal wagon]

wait egghead eggroll. quickly wrapped. goda

[sturdy steeple]

You know, even outside of pacing issues in that scene, I wonder why did they even remove haki from Nusjuro’s sword. That’s a minor detail but for what reason exactly?

[hazy echo]

If it helps here is the preview for the next episode

https://youtu.be/s01-cWCurOE?si=qSG2Cmd6n3ILfRpO

[ashen perch]

So 1114-1124 I guess, not too much tbh

[hot cairn]

do you got the post with all the info?

can you send it?

[ashen perch]

Uh lemme find it

[prisma idol]

Egghead ends on 1125, with 1126 being the start of elbaf

[hot cairn]

last episode was adapting 1113

[prisma idol]

The latest episode adapted 1113

[hazy echo]

https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2025/10/28/one-piece-anime-new-broadcast-schedule-2026

[prisma idol]

So about 12 chapters until the end

[hot cairn]

so it’s like 12 episodes left

[glass plume]

when did Egghead start?

[digital spear]

1060

[sturdy steeple]

12 episodes when we only have two months left is interesting

[hazy echo]

Jan 2024

[formal wagon]

It seems, based on the context available in this disscussion, that the animated adaptation of One piece's "egghead" story arc will be ending in the last month of the year, december.

[glass plume]

damn it's been schmooving

[hot cairn]

maybe it ends in January

[hazy echo]

Anime wise

Egghead is going to be 2 years old anime wise

[prisma idol]

1058-1125

[glass plume]

2 years basically

[formal wagon]

ask me when it ends

[hazy echo]

Since it started in Jan 2024 and will end by this December

[formal wagon]

😭 mfw egghead ends in december

[sturdy steeple]

I wonder if we’re gonna have new openings every cour tho lol

[glass plume]

sorry, meant the anime

[prisma idol]

Probably

[sturdy steeple]

I wouldn’t be surprised

[glass plume]

wonder when a new movie will be announced

Oh wait it just embeds the image

[ashen perch]

Yea its better without vx lol

[hot cairn]

if it ended in december wouldn't it say the break would be from december?

[hazy echo]

The break starts in Jan

[ashen perch]

Its saying its ending by the end of December

[hot cairn]

I did the count, egghead ends in Jan 18

[ashen perch]

The break starts at the start of Jan

[hot cairn]

nah arsal

do the count

it ends in Jan 18

[ashen perch]

Doesn't matter what the count is

[hot cairn]

12 weeks from now

[hazy echo]

Does it matter

[pine ridge]

everyone ignoring the bigger news. opla season 2 on march 10th

[ashen perch]

They officially announced its ending at the end of December

[prisma idol]

They can cram 12 chapters into 9 episodes

[hazy echo]

You won’t find much OPLA fans here

[prisma idol]

9 episodes till January btw

[glass plume]

i was expecting a movie announcement 😭

[ashen perch]

They're going to find a way to cram it in or some chapters will be adapted post break

Thats all

[prisma idol]

If they air a single episode every week with no breaks for holidays

[pine ridge]

fake fans smh

[hot cairn]

ofc it does

[ashen perch]

We're at the end so they might just like say fuck it, and do more than 1 chapter

[prisma idol]

I enjoy the LA, but it takes so long between seasons

We are going on what year 3?

[glass plume]

i just want Big News Morgans to be casted

[hazy echo]

Close to yea

[hot cairn]

idk

[sturdy steeple]

I’m really glad that anime stepping up its game since WCI/Wano resulted in a popularity raise so that we could have things like a seasonal OP.

[hot cairn]

I dont think they'll do more than one episode per chapter

[prisma idol]

Especially since they are going on a break, so the chapters will build

[hazy echo]

It was Covid I’d say where the popularity really grew

Like there’s a stark difference between pre Covid OP and post Covid OP

[ashen perch]

We'll see, they clearly plan to end Egghead by the end of December Jesus, thats set in stone

[pine ridge]

I think it's been 2 years now

[ashen perch]

Yeah

[hot cairn]

it doesnt say that in the announcement tho

[ashen perch]

Open the post Jesus

I linked two

♬do you remember ♬ that egghead ends in december ♬And the strawhats won't get a new member ♬ They're running from the GOR O SEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ♬ HEY HEY HEY BAAA DI DA
egghead ends december BAAA DI DAA egghead ends deccember

[hot cairn]

OP going seasonal, a good live action, a remake from scratch?? Did you guys ever thought something like this could happen back in 2018-2019?

[ashen perch]

Straight from OP_Staff

[prisma idol]

I dont get it... what's funny about it ending in December?

[sturdy steeple]

Everyone started hearing about OP when the quality suddenly went up even more in Wano.
Like it was hard not to hear stuff about people like Ishitani, Nagamine, Vincent, etc etc even if you’re not an individual who watches it/reads it.

Covid definitely worked but then again anime went on break during Covid too.

[ashen perch]

It was kinda both, COVID allowed people who had been putting off the series for a long time to finally watch it

[hot cairn]

I read them both but it doesnt say egghead is ending in december

[hazy echo]

Yea I mean more like Covid giving people the chance to check out the series

[sturdy steeple]

The whole strategy just worked enough for us to be in this scenario.

[hot cairn]

oh nevermind

[hot cairn]

Egghead is really ending in december then

but why are episodes going 1 chapter per episode then

[ashen perch]

And when they did watch it, they absolutely ended up loving it, and then Wano did its magic in present time by being just unreal to the people who had caught up now

[hot cairn]

last episode was all of chapter 1113

[sturdy steeple]

They might speed up the pacing in certain episodes. Well, adaptation wise I mean.

[ashen perch]

So at the core of it, its COVID, but the anime was a great boost

[sturdy steeple]

Yeah, my point was not about Covid whatsoever so aight.

[glass plume]

is this when the tik tokkers arrived

[hot cairn]

this post also says that elbaph will be one chapter per episode, no?

[formal wagon]

honestly i don't know how to explain it. So many people just said it independantly at around the ssame time that it's scratched my brain in a way that makes me think its hilarious

[ashen perch]

Yea Jesus

Ass

[ashen perch]

Really its like a big big percentage of the readers atp

[hazy echo]

Into the Grand Line is new

[ashen perch]

There's a generational divide almost

[hazy echo]

Wonder if we’re getting names per season

[hot cairn]

so what makes you think they'll do more than one then?

[ashen perch]

There's pre COVID fans and there's post COVID fans

Pre COVID are normal

[tranquil blade]

Well

[sturdy steeple]

Nope.

[hazy echo]

Well

[formal wagon]

December things
cold ❌
Christmas ❌
eggnog season ❌
holiday cheer ❌
egghead end ✅

[ashen perch]

I think 1 is just the minimum, it'll depend on the chapter

[sturdy steeple]

Covid introduced more questionable fans but we had enough of them as it was.

Especially with other big shounen titles ending.

[ashen perch]

If you guys love your wells so much why don't you dive into one smh

[hazy echo]

Been here for years

[hot cairn]

it looks like it, next season is probably "One Piece: Alabasta"

[sturdy steeple]

I hope they end it there.

[vale gust]

LA?

[ashen perch]

Yea you're good

You made the cut, you're normal

[vale gust]

I can see them going till ennies lobby maybe

[hot cairn]

yeah

[hazy echo]

Been caught up since like

Katakuri was introduced

[hot cairn]

I'm normal and I've been here since 2021

[ashen perch]

Well

[formal wagon]

if egghead ends in december
what else ends in december?
the year
What does this mean and what can we learn from it
egghead represents the year
Why?
it ends in december

[hot cairn]

in alabasta? why?

[hazy echo]

Your turn to fall into a well

[blazing mantle]

Holy unc

[ashen perch]

Lmao

[tranquil blade]

Why are we letting these geriatric geezers dictate who is and isnt a normal op fan

[fossil mortar]

Mailbox what

[ashen perch]

Not every post COVID fan is insane, I didn't say that per se

[formal wagon]

Normal one piece fans are the ones i like and i agree with

[vale gust]

They shouldve sliced and diced the story however they wanted. So much source material.

[blazing mantle]

What I’m saying

[formal wagon]

whats up?

[fossil mortar]

true

[vale gust]

They chose a boring way to adapt

[blazing mantle]

The new generation has to step up

[fossil mortar]

what is this

[ashen perch]

But its many post COVID fans, thats important

[blazing mantle]

Twin

[ashen perch]

Its an important distinction to make here

[sturdy steeple]

Because the LA is not sustainable in the long run.
It takes almost two to three years to finish one season.

[ashen perch]

Not every Post COVID fan but somehow always a Post COVID fan? Curious..................

[sturdy steeple]

Actors age and stuff. And the content just keeps on getting weirder and weirder for LA to really adapt it well.

[fossil mortar]

one piece will end someday

[blazing mantle]

Live action is getting cancelled in the next 3 seasons

[fossil mortar]

maybe

[formal wagon]

egghead ends in december #also-manga message

[sturdy steeple]

And hey, you know me. I hate LA. I would rather see them finish it next season.

[ashen perch]

Smh

[vale gust]

They shouldve adapted marineford somehow

[ashen perch]

Im only like 3 years older than you I think avery

[vale gust]

Just pure cgi buffoonery

[formal wagon]

no way arsasl you've got to be like 40

[tranquil blade]

I am not 37 so that's impossible

[wet heron]

Family Guy S2E17 ||Kizzy is too much, this baby be saying the funniest things to his mother||

[formal wagon]

maybe you counted your years wrong arsal

[ashen perch]

They'll make it far, don't see why they won't. Its successful and has the hype carrying it for as long as the series keeps on going

[formal wagon]

double check

[hot cairn]

I dont think they plan to do all of OP but I dont think they'll end in Alabasta if it gets even more popular than what it is now

[sturdy steeple]

I didn’t say they will

I said I’d love to see that

[vale gust]

Production time is the main thing

[blazing mantle]

How far do you think they’re making it

[hot cairn]

right, I forgot you didnt like it

[ashen perch]

I think they'll try to get to the end of pre ts tbh

[sturdy steeple]

I don’t want 40 y.o. actors acting as 17-20 y.o. strawhats. But we’re close to that.

[ashen perch]

They did say that the aim is to do the whole thing but thats a highly unrealistic goal

Pre ts tho, not as much

[vale gust]

I wish they had speed ran pre ts and jumped straight into the yonkou saga

[hot cairn]

that's impossible I think

[ashen perch]

They can keep production for the next 10 years I'm sure, atleast

[formal wagon]

why i outta

[sturdy steeple]

Well

[hot cairn]

that's a good stopping point

[hazy echo]

I wonder if the timeframe for the OPLA production is going to go into the show itself

[digital spear]

Live Action will have a 20 year timeskip

[sturdy steeple]

Next season will decide if I ever wanna see LA again.

[hazy echo]

One Piece timeline is still so weird to me

[sturdy steeple]

Rayleigh will die of old age bro

[vale gust]

I mean how do u justify a show about finding the one piece, end in a random war about his brother or even worse attacking a wg base

[digital spear]

Good mentor role death

[formal wagon]

oh lmao you mean the live action i thought you meant the manga 😭 my bad

[vale gust]

Lol

[sturdy steeple]

You don’t justify it, lol. The LA is still a great promotion to the original material.

It wouldn’t be the first time where series end on TV before actual grand finale.

[formal wagon]

they can just kill luffy at marineford

the good ending

[vale gust]

I am just talking from the pov of a LA only of which i know a few ppl

[sturdy steeple]

Fuck them!

[vale gust]

Unironically

This is not a bad idea

Shock factor endings sell

[formal wagon]

i'd love it, it'd certainly be controversial though

[vale gust]

Definitely

I started watching this show on Netflix called one piece.

I’d never heard of it before.

It’s incredible.

This is real TV, not like that anime bull crap everyone keeps trying to get me to watch.

I hate anime.

This however is an American original genuine piece of Cinema.

X · Sep 2, 2023, 5:13 PM

[vale gust]

Well i do think for that to work, they shouldve centered the show around ace instead

[formal wagon]

I hope they keep doing the side plots as well honestly, I don't want a straight up retelling, the more it diverges from the source the more i'll enjoy it. I don't think i'd have made it through the first season without the koby stuff.

[haughty saddle]

the harley pillows actually look alright, could pass as non anime merch

also sepia chopper 😭 ???

[glass plume]

what about the toilet paper

[formal wagon]

i didn't see the toilet paper

[glass plume]

whipe your ass with your favorite villain

[vale gust]

So the shows center stage becomes his character arc. I think that would be far more compelling. Firstly becsuse fire powers are probably far easier to cgi than luffys lol and op fans along with new viewers would he satisfied. And Ace's actor would have had a bigger window for the adaptation as well

[hot cairn]

what are your issues with it?

[iron oriole]

Probably worried about how Chopper will be

[sturdy steeple]

With LA?

[formal wagon]

If they do drum really bad i might not watch any more either

[vale gust]

They should skip drum

[formal wagon]

its the best arc in the series why would they do that

[vale gust]

I dont see wapol translating to la well

X · Oct 28, 2025, 7:15 PM

[glass plume]

there's no way you're proposing to replace Luffy with Ace

[hot cairn]

yeah

[vale gust]

Its a spinoff abt ace's adventure instead

[glass plume]

yeah no thanks, we have the novel

[hot cairn]

they revealed him already, you didnt see it?

[vale gust]

Who reads novels

[glass plume]

i mean, probably the same people who read the manga

[iron oriole]

I did

[vale gust]

Surely not. Anyways its just a possible suggestion. Because that spin off would have a definite stopping point which would be satisfying.

[glass plume]

just admit it, you're a big fan of Ace and wants him to get more coverage

[prisma yacht]

Omgyesss

[vale gust]

Not rlly the idea just popped into my mind.

[hot cairn]

so much Imu merch

[prisma yacht]

I mean I don't like imu

But hwllyeah

One piece bitch

[vale gust]

Imu merch before we have even seen him

Nefarious work

[small ember]

New chap was nice

[prisma yacht]

xdd

[small ember]

Double spread was crazy

[prisma yacht]

The attacks ?

Yeahh

[small ember]

Rocks probably gonna be killed during Domi Reversi and wake up as he’s dying

Real question is if he actually kills his wife

[prisma yacht]

I don't think wb or roger orgarp are gonna let that happen

Powergap can't be that much

Also

Cool daft punk pfp

[ashen perch]

ah artur confirmed the wording, it is MINIMUM 1 chapter per episode

so no need to worry really

[formal wagon]

egghead ends in december?

[ashen perch]

its not the same as now, they dip below 1 all the time currently but they wont again

mail this is a horrible bit

[prisma yacht]

Yes

[hot cairn]

I still think it'll be one per episode, it gives the cour good stopping points

[ashen perch]

like I said, it just will depend

[formal wagon]

🤔 good to know

[formal wagon]

thats what makes me like it

[ashen perch]

if a full episode shouldnt just be adapting one chapter, it won't

it will be like 1.5

hell maybe if Oda does more action heavy chapters, they could even go to two (scary)

and I am sure those are coming at some point

[hot cairn]

idk, making more than 1 would make them a little too close to the manga

I think if they would've done this years ago maybe it would be possible but not anymore

[ashen perch]

it wouldnt lol, they are going to be well ahead now

they are reducing the episode count by half, it will be fine

[small ember]

Thanks

[digital magnet]

cant trust and believe until I see it with my very own eyes then

[small ember]

I think some hax shenanigans will teleport him there

Or an Imu arrow

[hot cairn]

I dont think so 26 episodes is still a lot no?

[hot cairn]

the more than one chapter per episode thing?

[ashen perch]

not at all, they have managed to sustain one chapter per ep with Egghead with one 6 month break

they mentioned that in the stream

[trim lily]

theyll be a further 10 chapters behind now

[ashen perch]

67 chapters of Egghead will be adapted into 68 episodes

so 1:1 or more is doable

[trim lily]

i assume this means we'll be losing the recaps too

[ashen perch]

yeah we will

[digital magnet]

recaps was the least problem

[ashen perch]

well, they are not accounting for the breaks caused by some events taking place

[formal wagon]

how many chapters...

*gulp*

[trim lily]

[ashen perch]

they said its MAX 26 episodes per year

[hot cairn]

some of those episodes are not really paced well lol

[formal wagon]

so the 67th chapter gets adapted in december...

[hot cairn]

last episode was a full chapter and was kinda doodoo

[formal wagon]

...

[ashen perch]

well mostly they have been atleast

[hot cairn]

that's more than they've ever had right?

[ashen perch]

going a tiny bit above 1 chapter in some episodes would help a lot, thats what I am expecting in cases where the pacing isnt good enough even when its 1:1

[trim lily]

we're usually like 40-50 chaps behind

so the gap will just keep increasing now

[dense haven]

anyone miss the 5 minute recaps every episode

[hot cairn]

we'll see then

[ashen perch]

unless Oda just decides to go biweekly, I think they are gonna be fine

[digital magnet]

some op fans in our commuity kinda need the 5 minute recap ngl

[hot cairn]

what if this just means Oda will take more breaks and the anime is preparing for it

like spice said

[trim lily]

oda should start adding recaps to his chapters

[digital magnet]

true

[dense haven]

one piece is gone

[ashen perch]

its probably not that but you never know........

[dense haven]

they are softening the blow

just do it already

https://tenor.com/ewPavpnqusj.gif

[hot cairn]

if this really happens spice I'll blame you

[stone terrace]

Oda actually stopped 6 months ago

[sage temple]

I've been writing the story ever since

[stone terrace]

Its been an ai model trained with his art style pumping out chapters

[brittle basin]

one piece anime will take longer so they can polish the goon bits

[ashen perch]

would explain Rocks actually

sometimes I think about that time Oda mentioned that he tried to ask ChatGPT to give him future story ideas, and that he didnt like its answers or even hearing them at all

maybe he lied

[brittle basin]

i hope he used it and laughed at it

[digital magnet]

he hasnt used latest model of chatgpt yet

[brittle basin]

i hope the latest model has a shanks bias

[digital magnet]

i hope the latest model can create some nice Roger scenes

[brittle basin]

train the next model only off of r/piratefolk posts

[digital magnet]

damn

[ashen perch]

Oda started by telling the AI he can’t think of a story for the next chapter. Asking if it can write “an especially entertaining one.”

ChatGPT came up with a story about the “King of Shadows” who kidnaps Chopper, and in order to defeat him, Robin aligns herself with the “Shadow Tribe” from her past. Ultimately, the Straw Hat Pirates come together to defeat the King of Shadows and rescue Chopper.

“What do you think of this story?,” the AI asked Oda. “It has a shadow-controlling villain, a mysterious race of shadow people, and new friends. Robin’s role will also be important. Readers will want to pay attention to her knowledge and actions.” To which Eiichiro Oda replied,” Sorry, this is boring. Could you please present a more interesting idea?”

ChatGPT then came up with a story about an alien that infiltrated the Straw Hat Pirates after its home planet was destroyed by an evil spaceship. Aided by the crew in its pursuit, Luffy and his companions reach an island where an evil witch lives, the witch plans to steal the alien’s Star Fragment. The captain and crew help defeat the witch and use the Star Fragment to restore the alien’s planet.

This time Oda said, “Thank you! I will write it exactly like that!”

this was the whole exchange

he liked the space piece idea

[brittle basin]

This is just proof Moon Piece is totally happening

[digital magnet]

good thing Oda prepared the future for space arc

at least AI knows

Now thats the canon movie everyone wants! Arsal planted the seeds here

[hot cairn]

the only way I could see OP going to space is in a movie ngl

[brittle basin]

smh One Piece already went to space

[digital magnet]

when

[brittle basin]

[hot cairn]

I mean the strawhats

[digital magnet]

ah yeah was thinking about Luffy and the rest

[brittle basin]

They go to space when they steal the giant straw hat

and use it as a ufo

[digital magnet]

you know what

that sounds awesome

[brittle basin]

I know it's AI, but that quote will never not be fucking hilarious

[digital magnet]

on a serious note: While it might be awesome and all dat.. damn I might grow old as shit with this show if it be like that from now on

[vale heath]

anime gunko in 3 years

[frail kindle]

it needed to go seasonal

[hot cairn]

they said it was impossible

[graceful grove]

so oda thinks Robin character development and revealing info is boring.... we are finished

[brittle basin]

since i pay little attention to the anime I always thought they only did 20 something episodes per year

[frail kindle]

should have been seasonal years ago

[leaden rivet]

Seasonal I assume means much better paced right?

[digital magnet]

well guess the complain all these years were valid

in the end

[formal wagon]

egghead ends in december

[digital magnet]

especially in this modern day of Anime / entertainmet

[vale heath]

Strict adaptation of 1:1

Mandated

[hot cairn]

they do like 40 a year

[graceful grove]

that's what ppl said when they took the big break

[winter oasis]

seasonal was always a better option for viewing experience, but in terms of meeting their demographic demands it was just better to have it on every week

[brittle basin]

that's a crap ton

[hot cairn]

should’ve done this in Wano

[winter oasis]

so it was kind of pointless to complain about

but oda takes too many breaks for them to schedule it reasonably now

[trim lily]

now that they lost the time slot there was nothing to lose for them

[winter oasis]

yep no excuse

[hot cairn]

I think it happened because OP has become really popular

[winter oasis]

the ratings had slipped anyways

dressrosa sort of death knelled them

[hot cairn]

we don’t know yet

[fossil mortar]

hopefully better paced

[trim lily]

i do wonder what pushed them to start investing more into the weekly anime, since i can’t imagine it had as much of a boost in japan as it did in the west during covid

[stone terrace]

Definitely will be better paced

[hot cairn]

they need to save that arc

[digital magnet]

I see now

[winter oasis]

honestly it was just a re-allocation of resources

[leaden rivet]

There’s no way this anime could work if they kept the same pacing as it is now

[hot cairn]

they said they’ll keep it one chapter per episode

[winter oasis]

did they?

[hot cairn]

who knows really

[trim lily]

at minimum yeah

[hot cairn]

it’s not that bad

[ashen perch]

they also said it will be better paced than now, so I imagine its not going to be strictly 1:1, 1 chapter would be the minimum

[leaden rivet]

I mean that’s not something you can really say that early on?

[winter oasis]

i imagine it'll be 1:1 with them using more when they need to

[hot cairn]

but it is bad

[ashen perch]

yeah I agree Juba

[leaden rivet]

1:1 can work depending on the content

[hazy echo]

It depends on the chapter

[ashen perch]

would depend on the chapter, some are packed, some are not

[stone terrace]

You shouldnt feel restricted to 1:1

[leaden rivet]

But even still I think 1:1 isn’t especially great

[ashen perch]

they can go beyond one chapter whenever they need to

[hazy echo]

Remember when Oda made Kuma punch 2 chapters

[leaden rivet]

How much chapters was Wano again

[trim lily]

i think i’d rather they expand scenes in the manga rather than adapt more content

[stone terrace]

Just as long as there isnt unnecessary padding of content

[hot cairn]

0.78

[leaden rivet]

No I mean chapters

[winter oasis]

if oda only puts out 35 chapeters a year there's not much more they can do

[leaden rivet]

Total

[hot cairn]

sometimes less

[ashen perch]

they mentioned that 149 chapters of Wano were adapted in 192 episodes I believe

[hot cairn]

149

[ashen perch]

and 67 chapters of Egghead into 68 episodes

so its gonna be better than this

[leaden rivet]

So about 6 seasons of tv for Wano?

Seems kinda ridiculous no

[hazy echo]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-thats-pretty-good-good-pretty-good-gif-5074749

[trim lily]

a little silly

[hazy echo]

Wano is a really long arc

[hot cairn]

yeah

[hazy echo]

Not even with the anime but like

The manga itself arc is longer than some series

[ashen perch]

this was Wano

[fossil mortar]

wano is super long to begin with

[leaden rivet]

By the time Elbaf is finished adapting the story would probably be over lol

[hot cairn]

the cour 1 could end in the mural chapter and the cour 2 right before the flashback

[leaden rivet]

And there’s some who think Elbaf will be as long as Wano

[hot cairn]

that’s if they keep it 1 chapter per episode tho

[hazy echo]

Elbaf would prob be like WCI

[ashen perch]

it will be as long as Dressrosa

[graceful grove]

no chance xd

[stone terrace]

Elbaf has 20 chapters left

[hot cairn]

all of OP? No way

[fossil mortar]

no way

[stone terrace]

Luffy is getting low diffed and hauled to vira

[fossil mortar]

flashback like max 2 chapters

[ashen perch]

on Icon's soul, its not ending in 20 chapters

[fossil mortar]

well probably 3 including this one

[hot cairn]

flashback alone has like 5 more chapters

[hazy echo]

There’s still a lot of stuff left for the flashback

[graceful grove]

vivi coming to rescue luffy xd that will be the twist. Elbaf completely taken over

[hazy echo]

We haven’t got to Lola yet

[ashen perch]

I'd say 35 chapters is like the minimum

[fossil mortar]

oh true i forgot about lola and harold dying

[wraith mantle]

Bro Zeus really was at god valley huh

[sage temple]

Loki vs Shanks

[ashen perch]

lola dying....

[digital magnet]

ofc zeus was

[graceful grove]

that mf ain't no snitch

[hot cairn]

of Elbaph left?

[fossil mortar]

i meant lola being alive and harold dying

[ashen perch]

ikik lol

[sage temple]

Lola's birth?

[fossil mortar]

gotcha

[hazy echo]

Not her birth

But Loki’s whole proposal with her

That was a big thing in WCI

[sage temple]

Ah I see

What would I do without you

[ashen perch]

ABSOLUTE minimum, like the estimation if nothing happens whatsoever after Imu gets pushed out

[fossil mortar]

bro a loki fan and forgot about it

[hazy echo]

Heck actually

That was even when Loki got mentioned the first time iirc

[leaden rivet]

Yes way. Unless you’re one of those who think op has like 8 years left

[ashen perch]

12

[fossil mortar]

how much longer do you think it has ilya

[digital magnet]

never would thought Oda would make him cool

[hazy echo]

https://tenor.com/view/loki-loki-one-piece-one-piece-prince-crown-gif-4295914734584903264

[hot cairn]

does that include cutaway chapters?

[digital magnet]

I honestly thought Oda would create another weevil

[fossil mortar]

goddamn oda really fucked with loki's design

[hot cairn]

I do actually, like 10 more minimum. How much left do you think OP has?

[ashen perch]

no the absolute minimum also meants that its not a cutaway arc, its just the post arc

[hot cairn]

LOL

[hot cairn]

ahh I see

then I can agree with that

[wraith mantle]

[fossil mortar]

35 for elbaf mininum seems reasonable

[hot cairn]

I wonder what made him think “Loki should be cool af”

[wraith mantle]

10 more years for one piece

[graceful grove]

it depends on how fast AI develop. if we suspiciously start getting weekly chapters all of a sudden, it could end in 6ish years

[leaden rivet]

6 Max

[hazy echo]

Huh

[digital magnet]

When he realized he is going to start an Elbaph arc

[hazy echo]

What does AI have to do with it

[ashen perch]

6 years is just 190 chapters

not happening

[hot cairn]

that’s like less than 200 chapters

[graceful grove]

taking over from Oda

[wraith mantle]

Barely finish elbaf by then

[fossil mortar]

elbaf also won't be close to as long as wano

[hot cairn]

One Piece cant end in that time frame

[fossil mortar]

max like 80-90 chapters

[hot cairn]

lol

[ashen perch]

well Elbaf will be finished, we will be like near the end of Hachinosu

but still got Laugh Tale and Final War to go

[fossil mortar]

hachinosu arc what

[ashen perch]

hachinosu arc yes

[fossil mortar]

lodestar also

[hazy echo]

Brother ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[hot cairn]

Arsal canon

[leaden rivet]

Yes

[graceful grove]

there won't be such a thing

[digital magnet]

what are we doing in hachinosu arsal

[ashen perch]

It is canon, it will be canon

[hot cairn]

don’t forget lodestar

[fossil mortar]

what about man with burn scar

[ashen perch]

we are rescuing Garp in Hachinosu kamui

[hot cairn]

I disagree

[hazy echo]

Moon Arc

[graceful grove]

ahhhahahaha

[fossil mortar]

[digital magnet]

kinda want him stay there

[graceful grove]

Luffy ain't coming to rescue his ass

[fossil mortar]

luffy ain't even know he's there

[leaden rivet]

It’s too late. I’ve already decided I’m right.

[ashen perch]

The general idea is this: Blackbeard will put up Garp for execution to force the WG to accept his deal and present it to the world of pirates as the beginning of the end of the WG and the Marines' supremacy. Its all gonna culminate in the paradise of Pirates, Pirate Island Hachinosu, and I think this is meant to be an inversion of Marineford. Luffy will join in as the Whitebeard equivalent and actually properly succeed in saving a loved one this time, unlike Marineford where he was just an ant in the storm and could not do much about Ace's death as much as he tried. Koby is gonna be part of a Marine group trying to prevent the execution at the same time.

its real, its canon

its happening

[hot cairn]

you’re kinda wrong tho, but what do you think will happen in the story post Elbaph?

[graceful grove]

BB can play it smart. he can take Garp to Lodestar and bait Luffy to come to him with all the glyph + robin.

[ashen perch]

ignoring my absolute minimum, I think we've actually got atleast 60 more chapters of Elbaf

thats not playing smart, thats idiotic

Hachinosu is his home turf

[leaden rivet]

Don’t know. I don’t like theorizing.

[ashen perch]

its filled with pirates like a beehive is filled with bees

[hot cairn]

then what makes you think it’ll be 6 years then

[ashen perch]

BB is at his most protected in Hachinosu, its his fortress basically, he will stay in there

[leaden rivet]

It came to me

[hot cairn]

huh

I see

see you in 6 years then

[leaden rivet]

No I’m just kidding. I just don’t really imagine the story to take that long

That’s it

[graceful grove]

we already got done with Hachinsu and marines rescue arc. Oda ain't turning the same spot to another rescue arc xd we have seen BB anticipating Luffy and allie's on the road before. he don't give a shit about things like home turf

[ashen perch]

the only way the 190 chapter estimate works is if Imu literally implodes at some point during Elbaf

[leaden rivet]

No logic in that thought

[hot cairn]

fair enough

[leaden rivet]

Just a feeling

[thick mango]

I think people underestimate the extent to which all the threads are gonna collapse together such that a lot can be accomplished in fewer chapters

[graceful grove]

it will be more than 190 lol that's why i mentioned AI in there. but i don't think Elbaf have 60 more chapters

[ashen perch]

thats like saying we are already done with Marie Geoise because of the Sabo and the Revos plotline, no, Garp is currently being held in Hachinosu, the paradise of pirates for good reason. He is surrounded by thousands of pirates from all across the world and his crew all protecting him

[hot cairn]

what makes you say that? If anything, Egghead and Elbaph have shown that Oda doesnt mind taking his time with things

[ashen perch]

also the way in which Hachinosu is clearly central to BB lore is also very significant here

Davy made the Davy Back Fight in Hachinosu, Rocks made Hachinosu his base, BB then also came back and made it his base

this is where BB's story will unfold, its the location that he is the most closely connected to

[graceful grove]

that's not the same thing though. Garp already did the rescuing and we got to see all of it too. does it sound like Oda to come back with another round of same thing in same spot?

[thick mango]

I think threads converging/funneling together is the natural endpoint of every story. And when the threads have converged chapters can cover so much more ground. You dont need 1 chapter for law, 1 chapter for kid, 1 chapter for luffy. If theyre all together, whatever you want to accomplish can be achieved in 1 chapter rather than 3. This is an over simplification obviously but i think it illustrates what im trying to say

[ashen perch]

yes

because its not the same

theres a difference between an Impel Down esque resue arc and a Marineford like war arc

what Garp did resembled a rescue arc, what Luffy will do will be a full scale war like I mentioned

[hot cairn]

ahh I see, yeah I get what you mean. But I think that even converging plotlines will take long in a story like OP tho

[graceful grove]

so is it just Luffy and co coming to Garp rescue?

[thick mango]

i thnk it can happen quicker than you think like we saw in impeldown into marineford

[ashen perch]

its Luffy descending upon Hachinosu with his entire fleet and allied crews, while the Marines plot their own rescue for him and also show up at some point - in essence

this is the big Grand Fleet incident as well

[hot cairn]

those arcs cant be compared to the insane amount of characters/setting we have that will play a role tho. I don’t get why people use those as an indication when they’re vastly different and don’t have to feature conclusions

[fossil mortar]

huh not impossible

that already gives me final war vibes though

[ashen perch]

well the final war will be even bigger, because its gonna be the entire world against the World Government

[runic dock]

Queen drip

[fossil mortar]

true didn't think that far when saying it

[leaden rivet]

It’s just the possibility there that these endless lists of mysteries can be truly resolved in a single arc

[ruby lotus]

The One Piece anime is switching to a new format!

One Piece will become a seasonal anime.

Starting from the Elbaf arc in 2026, One Piece will be released on a new annual schedule of 26 episodes, divided into two production parts, each likely consisting of about 13 episodes.

They also showed the poster for the Elbaf arc. The arc will start in April 2026.

NEWS - FUCKING DISASTER 🚨🚨

The anime One Piece will be on break from January (2026) to March 2026 so that Toei animation can recharge.

🚨Starting from 2026, the anime OnePiece will switch to releasing only 26 episodes per year.

[ashen perch]

yes we have heard

[fossil mortar]

sigh blud has posted this everywhere

[runic dock]

That’s not really a disaster calm down , they did this last time too

[wraith mantle]

Yall should probably make it an announcement

[runic dock]

It’s so the quality can be maintained

[ashen perch]

ehh its fine, we will mention the break when it happens atleast

[leaden rivet]

Leave him alone

[hot cairn]

what would that arc look like? For it to work I mean

[wraith mantle]

Or at least pin a message if the announcement

[maiden saffron]

how many chapters has the flashback taken so far?

[runic dock]

Yeah they should at least do that if they were good at their job

[leaden rivet]

I can’t say for certain since I don’t like to theorize. But it could just be a huge lore reveal arc that explains mostly everything.

[hot cairn]

12

[wraith mantle]

Key word is “if”

[ashen perch]

well we dont like to do announcements because people get mad about the pings

[wraith mantle]

[runic dock]

People get mad about everything 😭

[ashen perch]

we wait to do it alongside the chapter release, so guess we will see

[wraith mantle]

Here’s a radical solution
Don’t ping

[ashen perch]

yea its just "BOOOOOOOOOO, I Thought it was a chapter!!"

well then people wont see it Khalid

[runic dock]

Peasant , I wanted grapes not mangoes!

[hot cairn]

would that be in one island or in multiple

[wraith mantle]

People usually check when there’s a new message in #announcements

[thick mango]

I think they will be a good comparison when alls said and done. The warlords, wb and all his allies, the marines, bb, luffy and the prison crew, shanks at the end. That covers most of the people. The only missing addition are the WG specific forces like god knights

[ashen perch]

they dont, theres like 30 reacts on every new helper announcement

because no one gives a shit

[leaden rivet]

Could jump around like at egghead

[wraith mantle]

Because no one cares about helper promotions lmaooooooo

[ashen perch]

around the same on art contests, thats why last week I had to mention it alongside the chapter ping

[leaden rivet]

What happened to mushy

[ashen perch]

just busy

[hazy turret]

Banned

[hot cairn]

it’s not in the same vein tho, Oda will have to draw multiple conclusions for multiple chapters, we also know that the war will likely be a world war according to Gunko so the stakes and the scale of it really cant compare to Marineford really. It’s not feasible

[hazy turret]

Oh

Yeah busy

[leaden rivet]

Was going to ask which slur he said but Arsal answered too quickly

[runic dock]

Out pirating

[ashen perch]

yeah I wanted to clear it up before he got slur accusations too

[hot cairn]

Mushy was hear the other day

[wraith mantle]

Merry and mushy have similar personalities

[hot cairn]

perhaps

[ashen perch]

no they dont

[hot cairn]

no they don’t lol

[thick mango]

in my opinion, its of the same type, even if its not of exactly the same scale. It just needs to be scaled up idk 20-30% to be representative

[leaden rivet]

They left so I was curious

[wraith mantle]

Well mushy is less aggressive

[ashen perch]

well actually I wont speak more than that, but yea Mushy is just busy

[hot cairn]

Merry is an asshole

[leaden rivet]

Not accusations, inquiries!

[ashen perch]

people get busy, I got busy once and I stopped being a mod for like 18 months

it wasnt because of any slurs

[leaden rivet]

Just making sure

[wraith mantle]

I don’t think merry is that much of an asshole tbf

[graceful grove]

few points here.

• i don't believe there is any chance gorosei will allow a full marines rescue mission of garp no matter what BB does. even if Garp dies, they can just as easily turn it into a recruitment propaganda material.
• If a marine unit shows up it would be Koby and friends. it would be out of character for him to not try something even if it's not a clean attempt like...teaming up with pirates again to a familiar location. that's where Law fits perfectly because his crew is also there. this also opens up a Katakuri alliance for Pudding rescue.
• We have seen multiple times that BB don't care for home advantage. he went with a handful of his crew to anticipate SH/Law/Kid pirates after Wano on the sea xd

[ashen perch]

yea fair fair

[hot cairn]

we’ll just agree to disagree then, but look, post time skip arcs are bigger than any pre time skip ones, look how long Wano was and you think the Final War will be comparable to Marineford? I don’t think so

[hot cairn]

oh I didn’t know they left

[thick mango]

in type yes, maybe not in scale

[ashen perch]

Koby is gonna be part of a Marine group trying to prevent the execution at the same time.
I addressed that in my initial post, the first two points. Its not going to be a full rescue mission, it is going to be a group of certain Marines + Law
As for the last one, this isnt him ambushing one crew, the idea of him putting up Garp for execution means that he should be prepared for WG's answer if it is a no, he should be prepared for war with them and with Luffy. He can't be leaving Hachinosu in that scenario

[hot cairn]

in type?

[frail kindle]

he's focusing on his uhhh masters thing thats name is escaping me right now

[ashen perch]

thesis

[frail kindle]

ya that

when he comes back I'm going back down to helper

[ashen perch]

no youre not
