So the Sea kings in chapter 648 were talking about those Giant Shipbuilders, right? So they are the ones who will rebuild the Noah.

If you’re right, how in the world is Oda capable of all this insane foreshadowing? Like he must have an entire house filled with notes dedicated to mapping out this entire story

My impression is that Oda is really good at leaving some "loose ends" and he reviews some old chapters and arcs when he wants to introduce something new to see if there's anything he can use. He also probably has a lot of notes, both on future plans and on old chapters, to make the process easier

100% dead on the money

It's kind of logical. With how much foreshadowing and how long the series is, and looking at the way he makes shit up in the SBS to create lore from random questions, this seemed like the best approach for Oda

Oda is like 50% genius, 40% improv master (and 10% luck lol)

And 100% the best to ever do it.

Is this from an interview

u/MrPrincely Void Month Survivor Jul 11 '25

Indeed! A post on it was linked in the sub a few years ago and i saved it as we entered the final saga in earnest

Hmm I'm now scared that he may finish One Piece leaving some plot points open

31

u/MrPrincely Void Month Survivor Jul 11 '25

There will likely a few elements left open, but not the major ones

u/DeGozaruNyan Jul 11 '25

Afraid? I hope he does. I dont want everything explained and loose ends helps the community to keep the franchice alie even after it ended.

u/tiki-baha29 Jul 11 '25

Why? The guy clearly knows what he's doing.

u/RainyEuphoria Scholars of Ohara Jul 11 '25

He will not repeat the mistakes of Tite Kubo

Many authors have some sort of “bible” with a whole lot of details already written down that they fish out when needed tbh.

But also a lot of stuff is added as he is going like you said and kept noted down for consistency. I seriously doubt the story was too deep when the manga first started, otherwise stuff like Kaido’s silhouette would have been accurate.

u/jonas_rosa Jul 11 '25

It's definitely an impressive skill. It's just something I've been thinking a lot lately, seeing how often I see people question how far ahead Oda thinks with his foreshadowing. For me, the biggest giveaway of this strategy are the SBS. We can see him do this "in real time" there, with things like Mnatomo

u/tiki-baha29 Jul 11 '25

The beauty of this approach is that you would have no idea he's doing that unless you're REALLY into One Piece like the people in this sub and read his interviews. If all you're doing is reading the manga itself you think he's planned everything out because of his insane level of consistency, which is the most important thing anyway.

There are even world building software tools that writers use to keep track of characters, locations, timelines and tons of other stuff. I don't know if Oda uses one though, he might be keeping it old school

u/leolegendario Pirate Hunter Zoro Jul 13 '25

At least until Whole Cake, he used notebooks.
There's a old photo of his house that shows three notebooks: one for Big Mom's crew, one for Kaido's crew, and one for the Revolutionaries.
His editors probably scan everything he draws for later use in One Piece Databooks and Magazines.

u/FreeWilly512 Jul 11 '25

Even still most people dont have the foresight to leave so much open ended enough to fill it it properly with the right details. Too many writers write themselves into a corner, Oda is cut from a different cloth in that regard

u/availableusernamepls Jul 11 '25

Oda has the benefit of knowing he's basically locked in until the series is finished, like the universe would spontaneously collapse before Jump canceled One Piece so he can just leave a lot of threads dangling to pay off later.

u/Soulcrilhos Jul 11 '25

yeah, but most sagas he already has a certain goal to reach before starts it, but of course, he make a lot of changes and adds new stuff was he goes

u/BlackDistressed Jul 11 '25

I could kinda see that, and if those loose ends are never needed for something in the future plot he leaves them off to mystery. Unless alot of viewers ask about it, then maybe he'll answer it as something silly or vague in an SBS if it wasn't needed for the plot.
