Oda (2000): My fans often encourage me, "Draw longer than Kochi-Kame's serialization. (122 volumes in 2000)", but it's totally impossible for me!
*As of 2023, it seems very possible that the number of One Piece will exceed 120.😊
Oda has just drawn Lucci and made it genderbent via AI illustration generator.❤😅 (source: OP official YouTube account)
Howling Gab attacks with cutting howling. He hates insects and ghosts.
Rockstar attacks with his "smashing-up sword style". He digs a hole with his sword like a drill. He has a strong sense of justice and wants others to follow rules.
Hongo is a doctor and so familiar with weapons that he can rip apart weapons instantly. He loves a clean environment. Building Snake is a navigator. He attacks with a stomping kick. He fights with acrobatic juggling two-sword style. He is good at defense.
Big Mom's final attack in chapter 1039 is actually a Japanese pun that means "3000 Leagues in Search of Mother", an anime in the 1970s. Big Mom releasing such an attack in the hardship might tell us about her desire to meet "mother" aka Carmel..🥰
Oda drew a tiger with Luffy to celebrate New Year. He will draw a rabbit next year since these are based on the Chinese zodiac.😊
Oda (2007): I'm working hard to draw fights with dramatic stories. If I had drawn a pure battle manga, it'd have been easily overwhelmed by Dragon Ball. I had to avoid competing with DB that was so entertaining that I myself was addicted to. (Oda called Toriyama "god" in 2001.😆)
Here is my first-half summary of the heartwarming interview between Oda and Watsuki in “Rurouni Kenshin Exhibition official artbook” published last week. Other than this summary, they talked about manga technique about how to make good drawings. 😍
Here is Oda's message for Rurouni Kenshin exhibition that starts this month. The author Watsuki, Oda's mentor, said he should have reduced the number of 10 Swords, an antagonist group. Oda made a similar statement in 2017 that he should have reduced the number of Shichibukai. 😋
