"One Piece" has been undeniably one of the most popular and longest running anime in Japan today. The original intention of the author, Eiichiro Oda regarding its end date, was thwarted because of the response of avid fans to his iconic manga and its anime adaptation. However, the question still lingers on whether when, what, and how would the "One Piece" finale chapters be presented.
With the introduction of new characters and seemingly unending adventures, one after another, a fan cannot help but ask when and how the end of this anime would come. The original intention of the author regarding the length of his work was just a five-year conjecture. However, with the great response and demand for more series, the manga and anime were able to outlive and outlast other anime and manga series for almost 19 years now since the author started his work on the anime back in 1997.
The anime which should have ended in 2002 is still remarkably on top the anime list for most fans. Perhaps it is one of the reasons why the creator strived to open new adventures and introduce new characters on his work. But believe it or not, the current "OP" is far from being over. The manga and anime may last for another 15 to 16 years, for it just has passed one-half of the story according to ReelDown.
This may sound impossible, but the genius behind the anime has already mapped out the ending and the last volume of the manga according to Rocketnews24. The ending and its finale are already in place, and even the author himself pointed out that the storyline would be explored thoroughly leaving now loose ends. But on the details of which, Oda remains silent.
And for such reason and as means of speculation, information on how "OP" would end or what would it like be when the finale comes has been spreading online. "One Piece" finale chapters have been highly debated and rumored, which even included the speculated the fight between Sabo and Akainu, to avenge the death of his brother Ace.
Apart from that, an interesting conjecture was also presented on a Youtube channel that the iconic manga and anime series will end with each of the main characters achieving their individual goals. The use of the ancient weapons would likewise be witnessed in the latter part of the series, the death of Shanks, and even the fall of the Celestial Dragons in the end.
Though there is no exact way to determine how the creativity and genius of Oda will influence the finale of his iconic manga, fans can surely expect that it would surely be worth the wait. Guess we would just have to wait for further details and even analysis regarding the said anime.
