One Piece will take a vacation for one month as Eiichiro Oda gets ready for the manga’s 25th-anniversary events and the manga’s “final saga,” according to the official Twitter account for the series. From the 30th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump on June 27 to the 33rd issue, the manga will take a hiatus.
On July 25, the magazine’s 34th edition will contain the resumption of the series. On Monday, Shueisha released the magazine’s 27th edition, meaning that the manga still has two chapters to go before the break.
One Piece Film Red’s release in theatres, the manga’s 25th anniversary in July, Oda’s intentions to travel to Africa to oversee the filming of the live-action Netflix series, and the conclusion of the Wano Country arc all coincide with the summer being very challenging, he claimed in a comment.
In the summer, those individuals advised that Oda take a sabbatical for roughly a month, but at first, Oda was against the idea. However, he claimed that he later changed his mind and realized that he needed some time for planning, thus he is now taking a hiatus. Oda continued by saying that he is sadly unable to travel to Africa because of the pandemic.
The One Piece Film Red movie’s guest cast members, theme song artist, trailer, details on a “Uta Project,” and a fresh poster image created by Oda will all be unveiled during a Livestream event on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. JST (6:00 a.m. EDT).
In August 2020, Weekly Shonen Jump hinted that One Piece was “heading toward the approaching final saga.” The Wano Country arc’s conclusion is currently drawing near in the manga.
In 1992, while he was still a senior in high school, Oda finished in second place for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine’s Tezuka Award for new creators. On July 19, 1997, he started publishing the One Piece manga as a serial in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump.
The manga had 490 million copies in circulation globally as of July 2021. The manga set a Guinness World Record in 2015 for “the most copies issued for the same comic book series by a single author” after winning the 41st Japan Cartoonist Awards in 2012.
Oda predicted that the series would end in 2024 in an interview he gave in 2019, but only time will tell if his prediction would come to pass. In any case, by the end of July at the latest, we will witness Luffy take the most critical steps toward realizing his destiny, marking the beginning of the end for the most popular manga series in the genre’s history.
When 2019 arrived, Oda declared that the One Piece storyline “will end in five years.” He reiterates his earlier declaration, “I want to reconstruct the previous arc so that I can finish it as rapidly as possible,” in this statement.
