by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Summary

  • Elbaf Arc reveals final antagonist, Imu, leader of Celestial Dragons
  • Luffy is close to finding One Piece, only needs one more Road Poneglyph
  • Oda dislikes fans predicting and theorizing the ending, may change it if guessed accurately

The climax of One Piece appears to be approaching, with fans eagerly anticipating that Oda’s narrative will become even more captivating than before. Currently, we find ourselves in the midst of the Elbaf arc, and it’s safe to say that this is the most thrilling storyline post-timeskip for the series.

It’s clear that what we’ve seen so far is just the beginning, as greater, more intense events lie ahead, fueling fan anticipation. However, it’s important to note that the ending of One Piece, as envisioned by Oda, might be significantly different from what fans ultimately receive, causing a global surprise among fans everywhere. This is because Oda has hinted at the possibility of making an unexpected twist in the story’s conclusion. Here’s the reasoning behind it.

One Piece’s End Is Edging Closer

  • Elbaf Has Revealed The Final Antagonist
  • Luffy Is Close To The One Piece

As an observer, I’ve noticed that One Piece enthusiasts are well aware that we’re currently in the series’ Final Saga. Previously, Oda, the creator, hinted to us fans that once the Wano Country arc concludes, the end of One Piece would be approaching swiftly. This revelation took many by surprise, as it was widely believed that the conclusion was still a distant prospect. Now, we find ourselves deep within the Final Saga, with the story unfolding in the Elbaf arc at present.

The arc we’re currently in appears to be leading towards the conclusion of the entire story, as hinted by elements like the Elbaf Mural and Harley texts. Furthermore, Eiichiro Oda has unveiled the principal antagonist for the Elbaf saga within One Piece, and it is none other than Imu, the head of the Celestial Dragons. This unexpected revelation by Oda suggests that we’re nearing the end of the series for many fans.

Beyond that point, it’s equally important to consider that Luffy is currently quite near the “One Piece”. He possesses three out of the four Road Poneglyphs required to reach the Final Island. In essence, if he finds one more, he will become the Pirate King. This suggests that the conclusion of One Piece is drawing near, and fans are eagerly anticipating it. However, since there’s still a significant amount of the story left to unfold, there’s a possibility that creator Oda might present an unexpected ending, depending on how much of the remaining plot fans can predict.

Oda Doesn’t Like Fans Predicting His Story

Oda Has Stated On Multiple Occasions That He Prefers To Keep Delivering Surprises

Oda truly cherishes his fanbase and generally has few complaints about them. Yet, there’s one aspect that he deeply dislikes: the tendency among One Piece fans to speculate and foretell future occurrences. While some predictions are off the mark, others turn out to be surprisingly accurate. At TopMob, we have accurately predicted several future events too. Nevertheless, Oda isn’t a fan of this fan activity.

Lately, I’ve noticed a ripple in the community of One Piece enthusiasts in Japan. It appears that Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has hinted indirectly that he isn’t fond of fans attempting to foresee future plot developments. This revelation has led to significant changes within the community. For instance, one of the largest theory websites in Japan has purged all their speculations. Even popular YouTubers seem to have been influenced by Oda’s sentiments. What makes this even more intriguing is that Oda himself warned that he would alter the ending of One Piece if someone correctly predicted it beforehand.

Oda Said He Would Change The Ending If Fans Predicted It

During his college days, as per Oda, he had already conceived the ending for the series “One Piece.” Essentially, this means that Oda had a clear idea of how the story would conclude even before it started. He has also revealed this ending to numerous individuals. Among those who are privy to the ending are all of Oda’s editors and some members of the anime staff. As an added precaution, Goro Taniguchi, the director of “One Piece” Film Red, is fully aware of the series’ conclusion.

Although Oda has the ending mapped out, he’s open to altering it if global fans can fully understand what it entails. However, this isn’t necessarily positive. While Oda values unpredictability, straying too far from his original idea could potentially weaken the narrative, and it seems unlikely that he would make such a drastic change.
