The thing about One Piece for me is that the length has this weird binary, its so daunting to see the amount of chapters when you first start but when you get up to particular parts, depending on who you are (arlong park, alabasta, waters 7), the length actually becomes something you are extremely excited for. Youll find yourself wishing it never ends as you want to continue this journey with the characters for as long as you can.

So many long manga (and american comics) get bogged down with complex lore and stuff that requires you to have an extensive knowledge outside of the thing your reading!

However, invincible is an american comic that side steps this all together, being a linear series with the same writer and artist throughout, with its story being completed.

One big advantage that Jump+ has over Jump Classic is the infinite size of Jump+ means that they don't really need to run the calculus of "will this series do better than any of these up and comers that are waiting in the wings that we can give the pagecount to instead." There's no need to judge Jump+ series relative to one another.

30 mins and taking a year to read all of One Piece challenge accepted. Day 1: I managed to finish Ch 1. Though I wasn't fully invested in reading while I was on break, hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to make much more progress. It's honestly interesting how much Oda foreshadows in just that first chapter from Shanks using Conqueror's Haki on the sea serpent, to Luffy's naming scheme for his moves. It'll be interesting seeing how things go with my fragmentary knowledge of One Piece. Day 2: Managed to make it to the start of chapter 6 today, I love how simple it yet impactful Oda utilizes a glare. Day 3: Made it to chapter 12 today, so definitely keeping the same pace as yesterday. I really love Luffy almost infectious optimism, and reached the introduction to the infamous Buggy. Day 4: Made it to the start of Chapter 18 today, and honestly it's been a minute since I've read such an optimistic manga, feels fantastic. Honestly wish I could read more than 30 mins but the challenge stands as such, but I should be caught up by day 200 at best if I continue reading at this pace. Day 5: Made it to Ch. 23 witness the sweet defeat of Buggy, and gotta say I really hate the way he blames Shanks for his own foolishness, and a bit of a weird info dump with Gaimon and his small island. Day 6: Only read a bit today Usopp's introduction up to the reveal of the scheme so mid way through 25 I think. Day 7: Picked up the slack from yesterday and made it to Ch. 32 I really like the immediate contrast of going from the Buggy's design of a rather flamboyant pirate crew to the dark and blood thirsty Neko Crew. Though Luffy did just stomp all of them thanks to Jango's hypnotism. Day 8: Damn it's already been a full week and I'm at ch 40, the fights and characters have been incredible so far, honestly I kinda put off One Piece for a while probably cause of the 4 Kids version, and I regret doing that. Also as much as it seems Haki wasn't planned you can still see seedlings of inspiration for like Luffy being able to keep up with Kuro's attacks. Day 9: Made it to the start of ch 46 today with Usopp joining the crew as their sharpshooter, and now Luffy's year of customer service torture has begun. Also it might just be the fact that I'm a Yakuza fanboy, but I kinda just imagine a Yakuza introduction card for every Marine. Day 10: Man I'm know Oda slides in some real world people, but I wonder if he meant for Mihawk to oozes Koji Igarashi style, also on Ch 51 now with Nami stealing away with the Going Merry leaving Luffy and the rest to fight in the wreckage. Day 11: On to Ch 56 and man I love Sanji's fighting just devastating maul kicks should probably look up some of the fights to watch them in motion but the impact of the hit is still there. Day 12: Man Sef and Sanji's days on the island was heart breaking, and following that up with Ging begging for Sanji's life and finally the best down of Creek but we're onto Ch 63 now. Day 13: Damn Creek just didn't wanna stay down honestly thought the fight wasn't gonna last as long as it did, but we're onto Ch 68. Day 14: On to Arlong Park with the start of ch 73 honestly can't wait to see this dude go down. Though I find the billion belli deal to be a bit foolish of Nami like she should know this man is a ruthless pirate. Day 15: Ch 78 started god it's going to be rough getting through some of Nami's backstory, but boy do I wanna see Arlong go down. Day 16: Made it to Ch 86 god damn is it great seeing the Merman get the shit kicked out of them, by such a rag tag group. Day 17: I never expected One Piece to be so bloody, Zoro just running around with a cut that nearly bisected him, and my dude still wrecking face. Oh and I'm onto chapter 91 where almost a tenth of the way there. Day 18: On to chapter 97 and if memory serves should be seeing the return of Buggy's crew along with Smoker. Day 19: Only got to Ch. 99 I had a major headache today, but hey almost at the big 100 plus return of some old faces, and some new ones like Smoker, and the sergeant that wants to reclaim the best swords (I forget her name I know she's playable in PW4) Day 20: we're officially onto the grand line I think maybe it's just the red line my brains a bit fried onwards to Ch 106 Day 21: Been slowly down a bit cause of summer time allergies but we're onto Ch 108 and dealing with Whisky Peaks. Day 22: At the start of Ch 114 I really just wanna storm though the series, but next I'm guessing will be Choppers island as we move towards Alabasta Day 23: Ch 117 and no deer bro but dinosaur though honestly been slowing down cause of life and things. Day 24: Ch 123 been picking the pace back up kinda heart break that Mr. 5 completely derailed the fighting between the giant buddies, but now to enjoy Luffy, Usopp, and......... a duck? Wreck all the faces. Day 25: On Ch. 129 we've cleared through Ms. Golden week, Mr. 3 along with the refight against 5 and Valentine, now off of Little Garden and on our way to Alabasta Day 26: We're onto Ch 134 with Nami sick the group head south running across Wapol and his ravenous appetite even going as far as trying to eat our rubber man's ship and even himself, but we've made it to Drum Island in search of Pika.... I mean a Doctor that's definitely not voiced by Pikachu in the anime. Day 27: Ch 141 Nami is recovering but what's this Sanji and Luffy are obsessed with a evil blue nosed reindeer what a world, and Wapol is back to reclaim his kingdom, Zoro swims through snow, and jacks a man for his jacket is this a fever dream? Day 28~: Might've missed a few day from learning my new job but we just finished Chopper's backstory ending off on Ch 146 with Luffy decking Wapol. Day 29~: Made it to Ch150 love Luffy defending the fake doctors flag with his life, though a bit foolish that he lost Wapol while watching Chopper show off his rumble ball

I’m a bit surprised One Piece doesn’t pull in new Readers. Over the Pandemic, I saw dozens of “Starting to read One Piece”-shows on KZread, in Podcasts, etc, and many brought the Manga to a new kind of Audience. In particular, Booktube somehow seemed to be drawn into One Piece. But I guess they also showed, how much of a commitment starting One Piece really is…

It’s pretty impressive what the line up has been the past year. The likelihood of getting more series like JJK, SpyXFamily, CSM, or KNY with insanely great adaptations is almost like a small renaissance.

The manga's title "pppppp" is musical notation that translates to "pianissississississimo" meaning "incredibly quiet." Just in case you thought that title wasn't stupid enough.

I only got into anime when I was around 14/15. Im 17 now and even before I started anime I knew of dragonball z and ofc the big 3 (bleach naruto and one piece). I dont know how to explain it, but there's a certain feeling I get whenever I see anything regarding these series. Whether it be clips, art, news or reviews I get a heavy feeling of nostalgia despite never watching those series until recently. I watched all of naruto and fell in love with it, taken a break from one piece after alabasta and currently in the middle of the arrancar saga of bleach. From watching these 3 series I can see why they are so legendary, thus making it harder to process that newer fans dont know of their existence

I recently just caught up to One piece after casually reading and taking breaks from it since 2018. While a large task, i loved every moment of it, and the manga made me cry my eyes out so many times with just how well Oda conveys his characters gut wrenching emotions to us. And it was all thanks to Super Eyepatch Wolf for getting me into it, everytime i was on break and needed some motivation to hop back in i watched his two videos on the series. It has become my favorite series and now that i’m actually caught up a part of me feels almost lost not having 100s of chapters to binge read in the future

Red hood had a very strong start and then it entered its training arc (I’m a massive fan of training arcs in anime, more than most for reference) which was exciting. The location and building promising great things and then suddenly the hard gruelling very unique sounding training regiment that they hyped up turned out to literally just average military training followed by a barely interesting game of basically un altered cops and robbers as the final exam.

Even the initial arc of Red Hood was a bit of a hassle. Rather than just have Velou go “hey I want to go with you and avenge my father figure”, they kept him in the hamlet for another 3-4 chapters. Compare to say, Demon Slayer, where Tanjiro didn’t really waffle after being saved by Giyu and immediately went to get trained and slay demons on the side. Red Hood had a good concept, but yeah execution is just as important - ESPECIALLY for the early chapters.

There's a beautiful ironic poetry in the knowledge that the sun is setting on the reign of One Piece. As the series gets closer and closer to its Endgame, it feels appropriate that a new generation of Shonen Giants are rising to fill the void. One of the main themes of One Piece is older legends of previous generations stepping aside for the future legends of the next generation. Whitebeard and Gold Roger being at peace with death, knowing that people with dreams who seek freedom will always fill the world. And I think Oda, when One Piece does eventually wrap up, will be able to feel a similar pride and peace seeing all the future generations of manga author he inspired who may possibly surpass him.

I really hope that the change in landscape will create better work environments for these artists. After all, the most impressive thing about One Piece's author Oda is not that he's just a better artist or story teller than all these other authors (not as a diss, Oda is crazy talented, but so are the other jump authors) it's that he's probably about the only person alive who can what he does and has been doing for over 25 years. 25 YEARS: One Piece started in 1997, the series is more than 2 times the age of its target demographic.

I’ve deeply enjoyed this experience and it got me back into a creative mood of drawing and even trying out animation in my free time.

with what was said about one piece, if anyone still isn't giving one piece a chance. i just started one piece just under a couple weeks back, and I 100% understand the idea that the sheer amount of information makes it difficult but i have managed to find no difficulty in reaching chapter 375 (first chapter of Enies lobby), still being able to recount all the events from romance dawn to water 7. I found it massively helpful to temper my expectations of how long it will take to catch up. It's massively important to pay attention to current events instead of getting too excited about getting to the future arcs, it is an easy enough series to take in without the FOMO of not being caught up. so if anyone still hasn't read one piece try it, or even pick it back up with this in mind. never force yourself to catch up, if you start to struggle reading, its most likely time to put it down so you can take it all in.

It's not like there's anything mentioned in this video that would support that hypothesis. What's this? A Dr. Stone reference? What's that doing there? But even if One Piece will receive a sales boost near its conclusion, it won't be as Jump's _dominant_ title-it'll be as another Jump classic that's finally coming to a close. There's a difference between "top-three manga dominating the medium's top magazine" and "another classic," and I think that's the point SEW is making. The era of One Piece has ended; the era of teens fighting occult monsters has arrived.

Chainsaw Man's all but garunteed anime success will peak interest in more series like it and Yukinobu being a former assistant of Fujimoto will turn more heads than it arguably already has. That's not even factoring in the series' own actual merits which are very much there (imo anyway).

Wow, that was an awesome analysis and really brings to light many things about the potential future of Jump. Thanks Super Eyepatch Wolf

My younger brother is 15 years my junior, and he's only just now getting into anime and manga. It's so exciting getting to geek out about series' I love all over again!! But the reason he got into anime is entirely because of watching Ghibli films on Netflix. It feels so good to excitedly nerd out about anime at someone, and to actually have their eyes light up in excitement too, rather than roll them in derision at you for being in your 30's and still rambling about "kids shows".

I feel like I knew *something* was changing in the manga sphere five years ago when Made in Abyss got adapted for television and became a monster hit despite being such a niche proposition. I couldn't tell you what that was at the time, but I think that opening up of restrictions brought about by online publications, now really coming to fruition with the massive successes of Jump+ in that arena with similarly strange, quirky or grim series, combined with that new audience coming to manga from a completely different perspective and the original audience for a lot of those legacy series getting older and looking for different kinds of stories to supplement more familiar and comfortable material, is as good an explanation as any. It feels like there's a paradigm shift happening right now, and I'm really excited for where that takes us.

@chrisossu2070

Of course, Jump+ is also way more of a crapshoot when it comes to success. With so many more titles allowed onto the platform compared to the print magazine, it's much easier for a title to be overlooked, and barring some exceptions, the greater proliferation of titles in general means that even the successful titles in Jump+ probably won't sell as many volumes as the successful ones in base Shonen Jump.

18:14 Crazy how Ayashimon is now axed

As a long time One Piece fan, I am not saddened by the fact that One Piece is "declining in sales". One Piece is a manga that will go down into history which not many manga can say about themselves. And frankly I don't believe that all of the manga that are popular now will be remembered for as long as One Piece will, if at all. The trend nowadays is "high action in a short amount of time" but One Piece has never been about that. It has always been about the long term goal, struggle and growth of the characters. That is why I believe that eventghho One Pieces sales per chapter might be dropping, but when it ends it will most likely make the series more approachable (as there isn't more adding on top) and for those that had already loved it for years, me included, will keep its legacy shining like gold in their memories.

There's a beautiful ironic poetry in the knowledge that the sun is setting on the reign of One Piece. As the series gets closer and closer to its Endgame, it feels appropriate that a new generation of Shonen Giants are rising to fill the void. One of the main themes of One Piece is older legends of previous generations stepping aside for the future legends of the next generation. Whitebeard and Gold Roger being at peace with death, knowing that people with dreams who seek freedom will always fill the world. And I think Oda, when One Piece does eventually wrap up, will be able to feel a similar pride and peace seeing all the future generations of manga author he inspired who may possibly surpass him.

It was definitely a treat to see manifest itself in my feed because they are always a blast.

I think there will always be long running series, because there will exist stories like One Piece, that require a longer format in order to expand the world lore, and some writers like Oda are just overflowing with creativity. However, keeping a sucessful series running as a mangaka is hard work, and most of the artists from some of the most notorious manga ever written have shivers with the idea of doing it again. So a shorter ,more direct running series would open up possibilities because a LOT more authors would be able to keep up, and there would be many more titles launched on a yearly basis, allowing particularly sucessful authors to transfer, if they wish, to a long running format. This could be a game changer for Jump PS: "What's Bleach"? Oh god...

I love this type of videos, i hope you keep doing it for a long time

@@internetera1523 sad news, thank s for the info

The thing about One Piece you fail to mention is that it's simply completely saturated its own market. One Piece is so old that there are used copies literally everywhere, its on every public library shelf, the anime is constantly airing, it has become such a household name that it's just like Dragonball. Everybody knows it and can cheaply purchase it through various means other than buying new copies in the store. Demon Slayer will get to the same point as One Piece and DB soon, but eventually it will have reached an equal saturation point. Additionally, Oda's age is showing in a different way: Unlike all of his younger colleagues, he has to take a break every 3 to 4 issues by now to not break down and that basically means a 25% reduced output, leading to 1 volume less over 12 months than his contemporaries.. and in case of OP, one volume easily means 2+ million in sales over a year, maybe even 3. The pandemic and JJK's good placement by the Jump PR department also meant that a lot of the people starved for new content after binging Kimetsu last year could easily switch to Jujutsu in what I can only see as a brilliant form of crosspromotion by the magazine. It seems in recent years Jump has managed to quite successfully pace the adaptations of its potential megahits like JJK, SxF, CSM and soon maybe Dandadan, Sakamoto Days, Mashle and Blue Box in such a way that they can generate mini hypeplosions to really push one title for a year - a strategy that goes well with their emphasis on "shorter" titles in the 150-300 chapter range compared to the 00s tendency of extending everything to 300+ chapters once it gets popular. It remains to be seen if other publishers can mimick this model or if this was just a lucky coincidence fueled by a public stuck at home during the pandemic...

@@sharebear421 Break down the overall sales in Japan and look at the sales per volume... Demon Slayer has reached something insane like 4+ million sales per tankobon, which puts it in the same tier as DB, Slam Dunk, Fist of the North Star and yes, One Piece. This is de facto the point of complete saturation as such a level of sales combined with an anime usually means that in a population of 120 million every 30th person owns a copy and the others know about it well enough to make an informed purchase decision. Now consider that many people live together and share copies as families, the amount of copies in public libraries, online means of consumption and more... Only very few titles reach that point and I have no doubt Kimetsu will, too. Not so sure about JJK, though. Do not confuse absolute and relative numbers, keep in mind the market cap and you will see that DS's rise is unprecedented and brought upon by a very unlikely set of circumstances: The pandemic and its changes on media consumption, the viral episode 17 of the anime, etc. Of course merely 20 volumes wont reach the absolute numbers of a similary popular series with 100 volumes, but it might eventually reach #1 in relative sales.

"What's Bleach?" Even before he said it I literally knew that was the quote that was going to come out of his mouth given the context of it being an earth shattering sentence stated by a younger college. I knew what the younger college was going to say that because I'm would be that younger college. Like I'm not totally unaware of the older era of manga. That was the sort of stuff I knew existed on TV but I was also too young to be allowed to watch. And as I grew up I went back to see some of those classic series like Naruto. But yeah, there is a lot of stuff from that time that I have no idea about. I only learned what One Piece was like 2 years ago and know even less about Bleach. Literally the only thing I know about that latter series is the name, I couldn't even confidently recognize a Bleach character in a line-up of other manga protagonists. Frankly, I'm a bit intimidated by any manga which names itself after a cleaning agent. For even more reference to how unaware I was about older series, my introduction to Dragon Ball was through Dragon Ball Z Kai. When the series first started airing, I legitimately thought this was an entirely new show. I was like "hey, this is pretty good!" and watched it my friends. It was only during the Android Saga when I tried to look up some episodes online did I learn that DBZ had been a cultural phenomenon for 2 decades prior. I was totally blown away by this discovery, imagine thoroughly enjoying something new only to find out people had already been hardcore fans of that thing for 20 years. And yeah, I also recognize that the landscape of anime must be so different today compared to what it was years ago. I can tell it's different because I'm always hearing jokes from anime vets about how anime is stigmatized and how difficult it was to watch the shows. But when I hear those jokes, I can't really relate to them because anime seems way more mainstream these days. How can there be stigma surrounding it when middle schoolers unapologetically watch and enjoy anime like any other tv show? But I guess that for better or for worse that's what the world of anime and manga looks like today. And for what it's worth, I'm ok with it. We seem to have much better access to quality anime, quality subs, and quality dubs. Anyone can watch the newest anime series if they really want to. And the regression of stigma towards anime means that there ware no social barriers either. Overall, I'm quite happy with the status quo we find ourselves in. The worst thing you can say is that newer series aren't as good as the older ones but even then, new anime fans can still watch those older anime series and in todays streaming world, it's even easier for new to see the older series than it was for the contemporary fans. It really feels like we gained so much more while losing nothing.

We have fun! :3 Listening to the end of your video I just remember this one conversation we had with someone at the con (older than us) and we all agreed we as an older generation have to give the younger fans grace and room at these things or the cons'll start dying. Times are changing, but we can still help spread that joy. Anywho, hoping you release the 2023 version of this soon!
