Key Takeaways

  • Eiichiro Oda is recuperating, easing fans’ worries about his health.
  • Oda’s health issues include high blood pressure and diabetes.
  • Fans believe Oda should take a break, but pressure to continue drawing persists.

As a long-time One Piece fan, I can’t help but empathize with Eiichiro Oda’s situation. For years, we’ve watched him pour his heart and soul into this magnificent world he created, all while juggling health issues that many of us might find overwhelming.

Following the unexpected interruption in the “One Piece” manga due to its creator’s health concerns, there has been some encouraging news. The official X (previously Twitter) account shared an update indicating that Eiichiro Oda’s health status is on the mend.

As a dedicated One Piece fan, it brought immense relief and joy to hear that the creator, Eiichiro Oda, is on the mend. The sudden break had us all apprehensive, fearing the worst about his health, with this pause seeming more serious than previous ones. However, receiving this update at just the right moment has eased our concerns significantly.

Should Eiichiro Oda Take A Long Break To Focus On His Health?

Fans of One Piece have known about the health issues of its creator, Eiichiro Oda, for quite some time now. This year, he had an eye surgery and subsequently took a short leave. Additionally, he’s taken several shorter breaks throughout the year, primarily due to his ongoing health concerns.

It has been reported that Eiichiro Oda experiences high blood pressure and diabetes, primarily due to an irregular eating pattern. He tends to avoid eating while working on scripts because it makes him feel drowsy. As a result, he often skips meals during the creative process and only eats once his manuscripts are completed. Prolonged fasting followed by large meals can negatively impact one’s health.

Furthermore, it’s been noted that Oda needs to provide his doctor with a daily reading of his blood pressure, often finding it higher than average. However, it’s important to note that what constitutes a normal blood pressure can vary from one individual to another.

Due to his health issues, it’s absolutely understandable for Eiichiro Oda to take a long vacation from the One Piece manga, so he can prioritize taking care of himself. Many manga creators have talked about the downsides of creating a manga weekly. For instance, Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of Hunter x Hunter, had to take an extended break due to his health. If Oda focuses on his health now, he might be able to avoid experiencing the same challenges as Togashi in the future.

One Piece Fans Know Oda Deserves A Rest

Many enthusiasts of the One Piece series wish for Eiichiro Oda to take some time off to prioritize his health, but he may not comply due to the ongoing hiatus in the anime until April 2025 potentially placing extra stress on him to continue illustrating.

At present, the reworked version of the Fish-Man Island storyline from One Piece anime is being broadcasted. Earlier, viewers had issues with the pace of this story arc, so Toei Animation made improvements by cutting down the number of episodes from 51 to just 21.
