    Realistically, One Piece should be wrapping up sometime in the next decade, hopefully in the next five years. By the time Wit catches up to the first big arc Alabasta, it’s likely that the actual anime will be wrapping up.

    One Piece also recently switched to seasonal instead of releasing episodes weekly. I’m not sure how much Toei and Wit are working together on this, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Wit’s releases will be coming when One Piece would otherwise be off-air.

    Also, Oda is kinda a hack writer. He loves the JJ Abrams style of mystery boxes with no plan for how to pay them off. Going back through and adding setup for some of the later story beats that weren’t foreshadowed properly is something that the live-action show has been doing, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this remake is going to take some of those notes.

      “in the next decade” as if this isn’t The Simpsons of anime (mostly due to the fact that it’s been airing for 30+ years)

        I mean, it is going to end lol. Oda’s said that the current saga is the last one, and judging by what all’s happened in Elbaph so far I do believe him. The issue is that even if it’s only going to go for three more arcs, One Piece arcs are insanely long, mostly for no reason.

        For as much as it gets memed, idk if Oda actually has any interest in a 2 Piece or w/e. I think instead of just making endless episodes, they’re gonna milk it with endless remakes.
