[Schɛrzσ]

Didn't see that coming...
Thanks for telling. ^^

 

[Frikid]

wtf that sucks.
there have been too many OP breaks lately.
This had to happen right when we got doffy vs luffy set up !!

I hope Oda enjoys his Taiwan trip and gives us more pages in manga chapter for the next coming weeks !

 

[Reaper]

again o-o

 

[Uchiha Samater]

which means we will have a superb flashback chapter with a crazy twist ending

 

[VongolaX]

This @sshole takes more breaks than any other artist out there.

So there is a chapter for this week, but none for next week?

Great.....

Btw, thanks for the heads up OP.

You must not read Naruto.

And I believe you're mainly saying that because of the recent break he had for surgery, which was a long time but needed.

Alright this is just some bullshit now. This kind of thing is why they have one or two chapters ahead of where we're currently at, this break is some unnecessary bullshit.

No that is not why manga artists have buffers. Besides it's not 1 or 2 but Oda said in an interview a while ago that he always had 6 chapters ready to be published and some after that where his assistants are working on backgrounds and details.

So people who imply that next chapter will have some kind of special ending because of the break are wrong. Those chapters are basically 'six weeks old'.

Also it has nothing to do with Oda, it's Shounen's responsibility to publish. They know that there won't be any problems if they do regular breaks because it's the number 1 series of all time and nothing will change that. Besides with all the breaks they can add they keep One Piece alive longer. So this is marketing 101.

You have nothing to complain about when you pirate this for free from internet every week. This schedule is nothing new. We've had 4 chapters 1 break for quite some while now. Compared to a lot of other manga's One Piece is released a lot, with more content than most.

 

[Dr Strangelove]

Is it me or are there more breaks than usual? O___o

 

[WhistleBlower]

Ehhh, really that sucks

Oh shut the **** up with that free shit. Whether or not I'm paying, it's the same effect, and the same reaction. There is no difference in this situation between paying and pirating. They are 6 chapters ahead and it doesn't depend on Oda, that just makes it even worse, because there is no reason they should have a break when they have 6 chapters ready to go and Oda's trip doesn't actually affect whether or not they should publish it. Normally, the breaks are understandable, but next to the break for Oda's surgery, this break makes the least sense.

What don't you get about it ? It's about money, not about you.

 

[Punk Hazard]

And that's why it's bullshit. How does putting OP on break make more money anyways? It's still gonna be the same amount of chapters, same amount of merchandise, same amount of episodes whether there are breaks or no breaks, so there's going to be the same amount of money.

Same amount of time ?

nope

you really should start to think when you want to start an argument. It's like you're acting like a moron on purpose. If you would've left out all the breaks in the past 15 years of One Piece I think you could fill 2 entire years with breaks. Go figure how much money you would've missed out on merchandise, episodes and chapters.

episodes aren't even a good example, but there will still be filler
merchandise will keep selling as it is still popular even when on a break
If there isn't a new chapter the old one will still sell for the people who didn't get it yet or missed it or sold out or whatever. If the new chapter is out the old one will drop fast.

That's basic economics. If you don't get that, don't blame Shueisha. But don't complain about it here.

Again you get it for free, go find something else to do for the amount of time you otherwise spend on One Piece, is that so hard ?

If you're distributing 700 chapters, 10 dollars a chapter, you'll make 7000 dollars from the chapters. Regardless of breaks, taking breaks doesn't bring in extra money. Look at DBZ, that ended and is still bring in revenue, and One Piece has reached that level of popularity, so even if it ended 2 years ago, it'd still be bringing in the revenue, regardless of if it distributes 700 chapters over 3 years or 5, you're still only making money for 700 chapters, making money off of amount, not time.
