The Japanese version of the first anime finally doing season set up. Which was already mind blowing by itself. Now the author wants to speed up the overall story to end it. Before anything bad happens to him. It doesn't sound like he had a solid plan b when he confirmed this announcement.
The author of Hunter X Hunter was allowed to work on many chapters overtime due to his bad back. Plus that franchise had a huge fan base. He also assisting with Seasons 2 and 3 of the live action show based on his manga series. Hunter X Hunter author planned out a few possible endings to his story in the event he were to pass away before it ends.
One Piece always been this huge story. Everything even something small ends up being surprisingly important later in the story. I'm worried by speeding it up, many people going to criticize him rushing out chapters. Some already doing that to a degree prior. Then again One Piece chapters are lengthy with so much going on.
It's like two to three Shonen manga series you're trying to quickly read em. Now that's like reading just one chapter of One Piece in comparison. I don't think the difference going to be like Dragon Ball Z to the original Dragon Ball. It's hard to say if the length of the newer chapters going to be about the same or not.
Let's throw this out there, sped up what's left of Elbaph arc. The actual story will be moving notably faster. The author won't be focusing on the additional stuff by this point. The overall action going on will be done much sooner than expected. Which could end up disappointing some people.
If I'm right about two critical wars going on prior to the ending. How is the author going to balance everything out while moving the actual story much faster? I know it's a little difficult to imagine some of these possibilities happening soon. Possibly sooner than anyone predicted for that matter.
We already gotten a confirmation we'll be in the final arc this year. The real question with the increased pacing. Exactly when we could be in that arc? If it were to stayed in the previous slower pacing. Not the inconsistent anime pacing either. We could be waiting until late this year to be in that arc at best.
I know some people are a bit happy he's moving things much faster. Personally I'm worried he could ruin it all by doing this. He's about to give us one hell of a final arc. This already the best selling manga/comic series in the world!!! People are recently salty over rushed endings of several franchises.
I felt he's taking a huge risk by doing this. I do think he might be one of a few authors that could pull it off. I'm expecting Chainsaw Man Part 2 to possibly end this Tuesday we will see. If it does, you got a few blogs to look forward to. Some including me would be worried about his artwork affected by rushing it out.
Rushing can potential kill an manga franchise. One Piece I know still has a lot of life left in it. I am still wondering how the current arc possibly going to end? I'm sticking with my prediction on that though. One Piece has a lot of characters to begin with. At times, he reference a lot of them.
Rushing to finish the story could remove future cameos or greatly reduce it. Which wouldn't set well with huge One Piece fans. This story could be done by next year assuming how the rest of the chapters for this year goes. I rather have the author take much more time to fully deliver a more satisfying conclusion.
Black Clover is in a similar spot with the author also rushing to end the series soon. I'm also worried when One Piece eventually ends. Manga companies reduce the overall length of series a little further. I highly expect that's going to cause major problems in the near future if it happens.
I may not want One Piece to end. At the same time, I'm slowly getting to my forties. I can't guarantee being alive long enough to see this story end. It's the same situation with The Simpsons funny enough. One Piece is on a rather tight rope. The author must properly balance across it or the story becomes a disaster.
I'm not trying to be very negative about this. It just comes with such major cons that could kill any major future hype it should've had. Considering the author allows other writers to do spin off stories. We could get one about how the World Government really begun?
The door of more side stories is open. The fact he allowed several of those would help with the increased pacing. Whatever he doesn't cover could be adapted in these spin off stories instead. I don't know how canon these stories are off hand. At least, it's better than what a lot of manga franchises do in the same situation.
I don't think he's going to write some form of a continuation after finishing One Piece. I'll be honest I didn't like authors for Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen. Rushed their big manga series. Simply to do a follow up sequel that changed a little too much. It just isn't the same with any expectations automatically going to be negative for me.
I strongly felt what they should've done is take a break. Similar to the author of Chainsaw Man before he started writing Part 2. Now I'm more fine with that honestly. But rushing in a story to quickly follow it up bags a lot of questions. Not nearly enough answers maybe that's just me.
Obviously I don't want One Piece to decline badly from this decision. Rushing is exactly what's killing a lot of manga series right now. I rather be into a long story that truly delivers than a shorter one that never lives up to it's potential. Yes I'm looking at you, Jujutsu Kaisen!!!
I really hope for the best regarding his future as well as the franchise. Some concepts could also be adapted as bonus material like movies, comics or games. Sure that may come with the question how canon they could be? One Piece is very lucky to have such a strong fan base backing it up.
One Piece is either going to make it or break it with that decision. A lot of us are hoping One Piece still remains a great story. There's also people that's rather critical about endings. Honestly, those people really needs to lower their insanely high expectations.
One Piece is going to change the world one way or another. I wanna be positive to a degree with my doubts. I also eager to see the final arc starting in the near future. What I want the most is the author taking care of himself. He doesn't need to kill himself to make people happy.
There's more than enough great content to keep majority of them happy a long time. I rather hope he focus more on going big when he really needs to. One Piece is going to be a timeless classic regardless how it ends. Rushing may not be the answer. But thankfully he has alternative methods to help with that problem.
I also don't want the pacing to go too fast either. Like I missed something when I know for a fact I didn't. Hopefully he will find a proper balance of the faster story telling. Which is critical above almost everything else. One Piece still has a huge shot let's hope it doesn't miss the mark.
