The legendary Eiichiro Oda is one of the biggest manga creators in the world. His work has earned him so much respect that even other prominent manga artists call him Oda-sensei. It is their way of showing their respect to the creator, who helped in the drastic growth of the manga industry with his magnum opus, One Piece.
One Piece | Toei Animation
However, the One Piece creator being called Oda-sensei is not only a way of respecting him, but it is also a nickname given to the creator by his friend and his competition at the time, Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto. Both Naruto and One Piece started almost in the same time span and fought for the top spot.
This nickname became a trend in the manga industry, but Oda never liked it. In an interview, he even revealed that he begged Kishimoto not to call him Oda-sensei,...

The Ancient Weapons of One Piece are the main element of the final war that will decide the winning side. There are three ancient weapons revealed in the story: Uranus, Poseidon, and Pluton. Currently, the World Government possesses Uranus, and the power of Poseidon is said to be controlled by Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island.
One Piece | Toei Animation
The third and final ancient weapon, Pluton, was recently revealed during the Wano arc and is currently sleeping beneath the land of Wano. The World Government has tried its best to retrieve these ancient weapons to attain control over the entire world, and while it may have a chance with Poseidon, taking control of Pluton might be next to impossible for them.

The ongoing battle at Egghead Island is probably one of the biggest fights the One Piece world has ever seen because of the involvement of major characters like the Straw Hat Pirates, the Five Elders, Dr. Vegapunk, and Admiral Kizaru. It has been going on for a long time and is slowly moving towards its conclusion.

The battle has caused a lot of loss to both sides and, as of yet, has not been tilted in anyone’s favor. Nonetheless, it has become a big obstacle for the Straw Hat Pirates. There may be multiple reasons behind this battle, but the biggest one is a betrayal caused by one of Dr. Vegapunk’s satellites, which was the most unexpected thing in the arc.

An anime series as big as One Piece has a habit of introducing extra narratives to keep a valid distance from the manga story. This helps the anime maintain a satisfying pace that would allow the anime to perfectly animate each episode. Most of these changes are usually done in the filler arcs, which don’t affect the story as much.
One Piece | Toei Animation
However, the One Piece anime’s modification to the Long Ring Long Land filler arc led to the disappointment of the fans. So much so that they even deemed the filler arc the most hated arc in the history of One Piece. The changes in the arc unnecessarily affected the length of the series and ultimately made it much slower than before.

Since the start of the Egghead Island arc in One Piece, the only regret that some fans have had is the fact that they skipped the Skypiea arc. Initially deemed slow and boring, fans are now annoyed by the importance that the arc has gained since the beginning of the final saga. Many old references from the arc have yet to resurface during the Egghead narrative, and those who skipped them have no clue.

Dental bills aside, if you have the grit and determination to wield a sword in your mouth, you have what it takes to sail the Grand Line. And sure, Roronoa Zoro might get lost from time to time (from time to time to time), but he’s also the best first crew member that Monkey D. Luffy could’ve ever chosen. Related: Meet Monkey D.

Post the two-year time skip in One Piece, fans saw the Straw Hats come together to take on even bigger struggles than the last time they fought. Eiichiro Oda had delivered a devastating Marineford arc previous to the time skip, and fans welcomed the relief thereafter.
[This article contains major One Piece spoilers]
Ace’s death proved that Luffy still had a long way to go. They were under no circumstances ready to face the bigshots of the New World or the World Government. In an interview, Oda explained why the time skip was a necessary move.

Keisuke Itagaki did something unexpected when creating Baki Hanma. The series took off like no other, establishing itself as one of the best sports mangas ever. The smooth display of martial arts through both the manga and the anime has fans gripped for decades now. A story that started with the protagonist wanting to become the best in his field, surpassing his own father.

That is not an uncommon trope. Food Wars and Fairy Tail both have similar motivations. In fact, most anime like One Piece, Haikyuu!! and My Hero Academia is driven by the thought of becoming the strongest in their traits. In many ways, all of them stand individually despite their similarities. One plot hole that stands in Baki Hanma, although minor, has a lot to do with Yyujiro Hanma, the protagonist’s father.

One of the most impactful villains of One Piece, Crocodile, has a big, mysterious secret that is only known to Emporio Ivankov, the founding member of the Revolutionary Army. Fans have tried for years to theorize and find out this secret, and some have even hypothetically established a connection between Luffy and Crocodile.
Crocodile from One Piece | Toei Animation
Many One Piece fans have theorized that Crocodile was actually the mother of Luffy, but with the help of Ivankov’s Devil Fruit abilities, he changed his gender. Thus, Ivankov used this secret to obtain Crocodile’s help in saving Ace, and they later parted ways. But there is no evidence or facts to support this insane theory.
However, there is another theory that not only gives a better explanation of Crocodile’s hidden secret but also explains the gold hook that he wears in place of his left hand. According to this theory,...

With over 1100+ chapters and almost 30 years of hard work, Eiichiro Oda has established One Piece as one of the main pillars of the Shonen manga genre. The manga artist has created something incredibly special that is going to go down in history as one of the biggest and best anime and manga series of all time.

Fearfiction didn’t think cosplay was going to work out for her.
She’d always been a big fan of manga and anime. In fact, anime is “all I watch,” she says. “I barely watch anything else. I connect with it the most.”
And, when you love anime, it’s only natural that you run into cosplay. You either know cosplayers, have cosplayed yourself, or see every fan convention you go to chock full of people dressed up as their favorite characters. Fearfiction–aka Gabby–knew she liked cosplay, but the idea of getting into it herself was intimidating. The costumes she saw were spectacles of skill. She’d have to learn sewing, wig styling, makeup, and much, much more.
“How do you even start with that?...

The more the story nears its end, the more fans learn. Only a few examples include Joyboy’s real identity, the existence of Sun God Nika, and the difference between the two. Although there are still many questions left unanswered, such as what the One Piece is and what Imu looks like, that is a stance of patience. Chapter 1116 of the manga may also be answering another big question.

Inspiration does not ask before striking, it just does. Anything and everything can become an inspiration if an artist has the perception for it. One Piece is one such work. Inspiration asks not what it can give you but what you can make of it. In a similar way, Eiichiro Oda has set a path for many to follow. He took the road not taken and made the grass greener as he walked.

There were many to follow in his path. Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball inspired many, enabling a chain effect of the creation of One Piece, and then those who took inspiration from it. There were many who found themselves taking notes from the Straw Hat Pirates. Out of the many names, the most prominent of them all happens to be Haruichi Furudate, the creator of Haikyuu!!

Luffy’s battle against the Gorosei has been going on for quite a few chapters and he has not been able to defeat even one of the Five Elders yet. His incomplete control of Gear 5 and the devastating strength of the Gorosei have become Luffy’s biggest weakness in the battle and the only thing that could help him right now is the Mother Flame.

The Mother Flame could be the biggest game changer in the current One Piece battle, as the World Government understands its power and there have been hints that the Straw Hat Pirates might get a hold of it.

The portrayal of female characters in prominent anime series like Naruto and One Piece has always been a subject of discussion among anime fans. The mangas, being a part of the Shonen genre, have always been blamed for either overly sexualizing the female characters in the series or not giving them enough background or storyline to highlight their importance.

Both One Piece and Naruto have faced these allegations, but according to the overall narrative, One Piece might triumph over Naruto in terms of giving their female characters enough screen time that they leave an impact on the fans. This was proved when Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto, talked about the portrayal of Sakura in the series.

The first trial of the two manga leakers who were arrested on suspicion of copyright infringement was held at the Kumamoto District Court (presided by Judge Mikito Nakata) on May 27, 2024.
During the trial it was revealed that a popular account on Sns – Dbs Hype – had demanded the Tokyo based company, Japan Deal World, into sending them the leaks from popular manga titles in exchange for promoting their company.
The prosecution stated that Dbs Hype, whose real identity remains unknown, contacted the manager on social media and made the illicit proposal.
The manager then ordered the employee to photograph the unreleased manga at the company’s office, which were then sent to Dbs Hype. This occurred on three occasions between Jan 26th and 31st, 2024.
The copyrighted works in question include One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, and Blue Lock serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine.

If you think of a lengthy manga with huge arcs, One Piece is the first candidate that comes to mind. Not only is it one of the most famous Shonen series, but it is also one of the biggest. Naturally, the series inspires other writers and incites rivalry.

Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Marshall D. Teach, and Gol D. Roger. The only common thing between all these One Piece characters except their roles as pirates is the initial D in their middle name. The mysterious initial signifies a Will that is associated with these characters, and its definition has multiple renditions.
Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece | Toei Animation
While some believe that the Will of D links the characters to the devil, others believe that it is a family name that has been passed down for generations. But no one knows the actual story behind it, except for Eiichiro Oda, the manga creator. Multiple theories have been devised to find out what the Will of D could be, but none of them can be termed accurate.
However, there is one theory that might shed some light on the mystery and offer a new perspective on the Will of D.

Multiple theories have been devised to find out what the Will of D could be, but none of them can be termed accurate.

The "One Piece" live-action adaptation is fantastic, setting a new standard for live-action adaptations of anime and manga. The show takes Eiichiro Oda's beloved and iconic manga and translates it to the screen in a way that is faithful, but also changes things when it makes for a better story — like bringing in Garp earlier and making him an overarching villain for the season. A key element to the adaptation is the cast, which is absolutely perfect and encapsulates why people fell in love with the story in the first place, bringing to life the tale of Monkey D. Luffy and his quest to get a pirate crew that will join him across perilous waters in search of the mythical treasure, One Piece.

At the time, we did not report on it because it was just a rumor and a plain list with no official confirmation, so it did not seem overly reliable, and it turns out that our assumption was correct.
Namely, Netflix has officially removed the Sakamoto Days anime from its list of upcoming projects, but that does not mean that we don’t have any good news for you, as it has – indeed – been confirmed that the Sakamoto Days anime is happening,...

A healthy rivalry between manga creators is not a new thing. Especially when you are the creators of two of the Big Three. There was a time, not so long ago, when Tite Kubo and Eiichiro Oda, the biggest mangakas in the industry, were competing for the top spot. Their rivalry led to the succession of their works, Bleach and One Piece, which became industry giants.

However, this healthy rivalry may not have been good for Kubo, as the manga creator once confessed that he developed feelings of jealousy towards Oda because his One Piece manga always stood one step ahead of Bleach. He even went on to say that he hated the mangaka because of this.
But Oda, being the kind soul he is, gave the perfect response to Kubo’s comment and won the hearts of everyone. The manga creator not only confessed that...
