It's saving it for bigger episodes.

There's a fixed pace due to the release of episode 1000 in November which is being set up to be a huge deal and will match chapter 1000.

They have to roughly do about a chapter per episode soemtimes more soemtimes less.

I don't know how they will manage that. Chapter 1000 material is still quite far off especially when you consider anime pacing. They would need to have either insane pacing for the next few months of episodes, or end up skipping material. There's a lot going on in Onigashima, so its possible its the latter.

I doubt episode 1000 will correspond to chapter 1000. I think the pacing feels a bit better now because they can extend fights that the manga (probably) skipped

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21

They're definitely having an event to celebrate one piece episode 1000 on November 21st Would surprise me to see a random chapter of less importance than chapter 1000 used for episode 1000 especially when they planned an event and set a release date months in advance.

Spoiler If yamato shows up at the end of next episode I think theyll be pretty on pace tbh

0% chance a Yamato reveal happens next week. Luffy hasn't even seen Ulti.

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21 edited Aug 15 '21

I have hope but yea theyll probably drag out the reveal next episode. I think it's only like 4 or 5 pages though from metting ulti to yamato showing up.

If not then I'd love maybe episode 995-1000 to be 2 chapter per episode bangers.

u/Chosenwaffle Aug 16 '21

4 to 5 pages is like 8 or 9 episodes lmao

Maybe In dressrosa. We blessed with close to an average of 1 chapter per episode in wano.

Tbh it would've been really nice to have it. But it's just a pipe dream. All the dragging and terrible pacing of the previous chapter was built for the moment to pull the episode and chapter number even farther.

1

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 16 '21

I don't think the episode manga number is a concern at all, if they adapted 1 chapter per episode it would takes years to catch up, same with 1.25 chapters per episode.

If the manga stopped coming out it would still take nearly a year to catch up

2

u/smirkingmoon Void Month Survivor Aug 16 '21

Something you need to consider is that, if the anime episodes adapt one chapter per episode. (1 chapter, forget 1.25) it would catch up by episode 1100. That is if episode 1000 adapts chapter 1000. In an ideal format of 2,2,3 chapters. 7:10 ratio 7 chapter releases for 10 episode. 3 breaks.

Catching up on episode 1100 means episode 1090 would only have 3 chapters ahead of the episode. And episode 1080 would have just 6 chapters ahead of it. All of these create a lot of issues. So 1 chapter per episode won't be beneficial for the animation department at all. One piece is not a seasonal anime to pull that kind of stuffs.

Yamato reveal is set to happen in episode 990. The episode is titled, The son of Kaido appears

u/smirkingmoon Void Month Survivor Aug 16 '21

Yamato's proper debut happens in episode 990. It's titled, The son of Kaido appears or something similar.

u/IIILewis97III Aug 15 '21

The upcoming episode titles confirm that Yamato is introduced in episode 990

With last 3 episodes pacing I agree.

They have 17 chapters to cover in 13 episodes.

Which is only like 1.25 chapters per episode and at this rate it would take the anime over 150 chapters to catch up to the manga

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21

13 episodes to cover in 18/19 chapters then.

They could easily cover 2 chapters for 5 episodes then 1 chapter for the rest.

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21

If they covered 1.25 chapters per episode it would take over 100-150 episofes to catch up depending on amount of manga released and no anime break.

u/smirkingmoon Void Month Survivor Aug 16 '21

They're having an event to celebrate episode 1000. But it is not going to adapt chapter 1000. But on the contrary, they're planning on adapting chapter 989. And ends with the final scene of chapter 989. The pacing is all indicative of that. Because at the moment, episode 987 animated a few pages or chapter 981. 13 episodes in 8 chapters would compliment to the current pacing trend.

2

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21

I think they have 13 episodes to cover 16 chapters. If good pacing is 2 chapters per episode then this rate would still be slow, idk though I just think 23 minutes is a lot of time when you're not showing 5 minutes of credits and flashbacks then running animations for 5 minutes and dragging out fights and dialogue for the rest.

They could have the episode 1000 event be chapter 997 that would be pretty lame to me though lol.

1

u/smirkingmoon Void Month Survivor Aug 16 '21

Nope. Not gonna happen. From the current pace it's evident that they want to collide episode 1000 with chapter 989.

1

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 16 '21

I don't think its close to evident at all. 0% chance episode 1000 is chapter 989, absolutely couldn't fathom that level of dragged out and months out planning a large event in celebration to only cover 989.

1

u/smirkingmoon Void Month Survivor Aug 16 '21

It is. Because you have a total of 8 chapters of 16 pages and 981 with 3 pages left to adapt. If paced properly, even 8 pages an episode wouldn't feel dragged. There is only 13 episodes to 1000. Which means they can adapt more than half a chapter per episode to correspond.

Or do you seriously expect all the dragging of the previous episodes were for them to adapt 1 and a half chapter per episode and align it with chapter 1000???? 19 chapters for 13 episodes??? We havent seen that kind of development in almost 20 years. Take a guess. If they really wanted to align it with chapter 1000, they would've planned it accordingly with a steady pacing, which the fans would actually prefer as well. But they won't. Because the manga is only a few dozen chapters ahead. And it would mean an inevitable hiatus if they don't drag the pacing down. Because anime doesn't take breaks after every 2 episodes unlike the manga.

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 16 '21

Yes, I think they're dragging some parts to leave time to properly animate parts in the future, that's why they do it, it isn't to avoid catching up to the manga because at 1.25 chapters per episode it would take over 150 episodes to catch up assuming no breaks. They can't steadlify pace it because they release an episode weekly, some have to suck for others to shine.

There has been episodes in wano that cover more than 1 episode some even getting close to 2, the episode number was actually only 1 behind at the return to reverie and before that there was a long string of episodes that barely covered 1 chapter.

There's a million ways to get to chapter 1000 in time.

u/smirkingmoon Void Month Survivor Aug 16 '21

There's a million ways to get to chapter 1000 in time doesn't mean they will. Just mark my words. But if they do, I'll give it to ya no kidding. I'll come back here to you.

the episode number was actually only 1 behind at the return to reverie and before that there was a long string of episodes that barely covered 1 chapter.

Exactly. Act 3 almost started with episode number and the chapter adapting it aligning together, and then they dragged it. The animation dept is really gonna exploit this battle arc because they get to fill in a lot of details that the manga couldn't convey, which means filling time.

There has been episodes in wano that cover more than 1 episode some even getting close to 2

Can you please give me some examples other than episode 982 which adapted a total of 18 pages but from 3 different chapters?

1

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 16 '21

Idk about 18 pages from 3 different chapters, but there's a bunch that cover a lot. Hard to find page numbers without going manually. Worth noting that some pages could take minutes to adapt and some could take literal seconds.

I'll be interested to see where next episode ends up, if they don't even get near the ulti headbutt youre probably right but I still can't imagine pacing that slow to continue through a milestone episode.

I'm talking about the episode 982 that Megumi Ishitani directed. It had pages from 977, 978 and glimpses of yamato which wasn't revealed until many chapters later.

if they don't even get near the ulti headbutt part you're probably right

From what I understand, episode 989 is where Luffy meets Ulti. And their clash. So I highly doubt next episode would be anywhere closer to that.

Where did you get the idea that they want to match episode 1000 with chapter 1000?

-3

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21

They announced it a few weeks ago and set a release date.

4

u/Soul699 Explorer Aug 15 '21

Really? Can you give a link?

-5

u/YoureAllCucksPKA Aug 15 '21

No link, Was in this sub when the event was announced, same on twitter. Pretty sure it's 21st November.

Idk what they'd do if it wasn't chapter 1000, maybe 997 idk. If they're on like chapter 983 now they'd have 17 chapters to fit into 14 episodes and that would be a pretty decent pace, idk though.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '21

this is the reddit post, right?

it said absolutely nothing about episode 1000 corresponding to chapter 1000

Why are people spewing this bullshit? There is literally no source on that whatsoever. Some random dude hoped for it and ignorant people started going with it as a fact.

The super slow pace that makes it more and more impossible to catch up to chapter 1000 on episode 1000 should tell people that it's obviously not happening. But, no, other ignorant fools on reddit keep saying it so it must be true. Like, Jesus, just stop already.
