One piece is the definition of "It's the journey, not the destination." Nothing the One Piece could actually be would be worth 23 years worth of content hyping it up.
(I myself am still a fan of the "one-(head)-piece" that make someone a king, but has to be an item that has been around since the first season theory. Gee, I wonder what that head-piece could be?)
I've only seen the live action series. Are you talking about loofys hat?
No idea what that theory is.
The one piece is the friends we made along the way.
Oops sorry, no, it's the more powerful than God fruit. Still can't swim in seawater tho.
Gol D Roger had the straw hat way before visiting Laugh tale. That would be worse than "It was all a dream", or "The one piece was the friends you made along the way". Both of which have been debunked by Oda.
Personally I subscribe to the theory that the World Government is whom split the world into 4 pieces during the Void Century. Whatever the One Piece is - it will have the power to rejoin the 4 oceans.
It would solve every dream of all the Straw Hat Pirates. It would literally make the world One Piece again.
Favourite theory I heard was that the One Piece refers to all of the oceans being joined by destroying the strip of land in the centre of the cross shaped continent. They foreshadow it by having every character dream about the different types of fish all co-habiting in the same ocean.
It's definitely a one-piece swimsuit.
It should be illegal to recommend shows with more than 1000 episodes.
If you like it fine, but I saw it and the pacing is straight up horrible even if the worldbuilding is neat.
There are battles that take literally more than 5 hours without counting the intros and recaps. Even my longest D&D battle was shorter, and those are freaking turn based.
Fuck the animes pacing, it's unbearable. Luckily https://www.onepace.net exists
Not for nothing, but the manga is paced much better and can be read legally, easily, and digitally for a $3/month subscription. Took me like a month and a half to read the whole thing.
You've made your opinions clear about long recommendations, so take it or leave it. You were interested once before, though, and it might be worth checking out.
Yep it's the same with a lot of these super long series, they are much more digestible and addictive in manga form.
Read the manga
This is my same thought with soap operas. Not that I want to but how would you even get into a show that had been running 5 times a week for 30+ years?
I tried to watch the ocean cut of Naruto, which basically edits each arc down, cutting out unnecessary flashbacks and recaps, along with intros and intros, making it into basically a series of films.
It's still 40 films worth of content and 3+ hours per film sometimes (I think, it's been a while), and the pacing is still absolutely fucked which is a symptom of basically every episodic anime when binged.
Shonen manga is notorious for having winding stories with no narrative endgame planned.
Even the DBZ anime at 291 episodes is brutally long and drawn out, with a narrative that obviously repeats itself to the point of self-parody.
Everybody is gonna enjoy what they want to enjoy, but cmon.
I just rewatched Yuyu Hakusho and it became obvious real quick nothing planned from arc to arc. Even when the creators want a clean end, their editor will push for more if it's popular enough. I can respect Demon Slayer for committing to the final villain that was setup in the beginning.
A lot of these types of media have a really great premise and initial story before it devolves into every Shonen stereotype ever and way the hell too long and specific arcs.
Like One Piece's original formula of sea travel, pirate action, and island story worked great. It only suffered from Toei's asanine pacing for the Anime.
Now it's basically 99% Island and nothing else. No one even acts like pirates anymore, and each Island lasts so long it actually gets boring to watch or read.
The real crime here is that each chapter is about 15 pages, with currently 1101 chapters, yet the each anime episode is 24 minutes long and there are currently 1087 episodes.
Toei has milked this content harder than their infinite stalling in DBZ.
One Piece is great, but it is a big investment. Worth it IMO. If you're not sure, watch the Netflix live action. It's only 8 episodes and is pretty faithful to the original.
I was laid off, and in my 13 months before getting a new job, I didn't watch a single episode.
And it's a high risk investment at this point. I hope Oda stays healthy to see through his masterpiece.

You haven't read Detective Conan it seems. At least with One Piece the plot is progressing.
I vaguely remember there was an old line in Conan about how the de-aging poison would kill Shinichi if not reversed soon. Guess they had to conveniently forget that to preserve their commercial mascot.
Omg it's still ongoing? I remember being a kid, when the anime was on TV. That means the manga should be even older.
I checked a few months ago and they still haven't caught a single man in black

Chapter 1176?
The quality of the anime has some serious dips, but the manga is absolutely god tier from start to finish (or current latest chapter).
Like the Bible, I maybe haven't read every single word, there was the title, something something with a ship and a cross, then a damn long register, but I think, I got the essence. It's a boring antediluvian scam, kinda like Elon has written it...
First time I've seen the word antediluvian used in a context that wasn't referring to the ancient super vampires from Vampire the Masquerade.
I think it's more like a soap opera to the Japanese, that's a guess though. It started in 1998 or 99, which means if you were 5 when you started watching it, you're in your upper 20's which is wild. I think there are people that cut out all of the filler of the anime that you can watch and the netflix adaption is about 4 years' worth.
It's called One Pace, it's a fan edited version that takes out filler and overly long panning shots etc. to make the pacing of the anime match the manga more closely.
I realize that’s something I really like about unvoiced JRPGs, and manga; my reading pace dictates the scene’s pace, and I’m a decently fast reader. I’m not going to rush delivery on a dramatically impactful line, but I also won’t linger on some duke blabbing about the history of his house’s conflict with the weekend’s villain.
And most importantly, the flashbacks.
So. Many. Flashbacks.
The Netflix Live action One Piece didn't even cover all of the East Blue Saga, which ran from 1997 to 1999 originallly.
INB4 they jump the shark, finds One Piece, but now all of a sudden there's a Second Piece.
When I had a kid at home who liked one piece I learnt that the show has no end. You can watch it while you want to and you'll get a little story progression. You don't need to start at the start, you don't need to watch to the non existent end
It was fun to watch the first twenty or so episodes then jump to the current state (current state circa 2007)
Biggest media I've followed must be Jojo, and that's because each part changes the characters and setting, keeping it fresh.
If you're not reading right now, then you're missing out on the story of the saddest family in existence.
Great, definitely a pass.
I'm somewhere around 350 episodes I think. My least favorite would be the episodes with a lot of screaming. I know it's Anime and a bit of that is expected but some get to a whole new level.
The anime has been in production so long it's extremely hit or miss, depending on where in the show's run you look. The effort put into the production falls of a cliff several times. It's part of the reason I personally can't stand it in comparison to other anime series or even the manga.
It's a pity, some of the OP movies are excellently produced and I'd really like it if a version of the whole story with FMAB level production quality existed. But that'd be a massive undertaking at this point, so it is unlikely to happen.
The episodes airing currently have pulled their shit together on the animation, but they are still re-cycling the same old OST recordings and SFX samples, making the anime unwatchable for me.

All that matters is that we know the one piece, the one piece is real
