Oda: About spin-off, I came up with a magnificent story about Garp.🔥 I'd like to draw his relationship and talk with Akainu, Aokiji, Smoker, Hina, Coby, Cipher Pol and Roger. Other than that, Revolutionary Army spin-off focusing on Dragon would be interesting and serious. (2018

Oda: One Piece will be on break between Jump issue 30-33 due to the preparation for the upcoming arc, a trip to the US for Netflix TV drama and Film Red. (*Later Oda gave up to the trip due to Covid-19 spreading.) Oda's drawing for Red and Uta's VA will be out tomorrow😍

Not only fans but also surprisingly *Oda's editor* Hattori was against the idea of killing Ace. But Oda had made up his mind ever since he came up with Ace as a character. Oda after watching the anime got angry: I wonder why Ace had to be killed in that harsh way..😥

Oda: Pay attention to Luffy. (2021)
Next time Nika appears, he'll show his face. (2021)
Audience won't be satisfied if Luffy beats Kaido with just a strong punch. (2016)
Skypiea party is his 3rd favorite in the series, where the same SFX was used as "drums of liberation"😆(2020)

@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp Translation: My health hasn't improved, so I decided to spend much time on taking care of myself.
No. 399..I'm making advices to my assistants about background effects.
31
According to Oda's message in Jump Festa today, Shanks will begin to move in 2021. Oda also said he was impressed with Kimetsu no Yaiba getting super popular in Japan.😍
32
@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp Translation: About characters, I've finished the inking process over pencil drawing for 10 chapters! There may be some fixes, though. I'll continue drawing my manuscripts for the next 10 chapters. Plus, I'll announce how inking whole chapter is proceeding. I have tons of drafts😋

Today a OP fan from India appeared in a TV show and obtained a straw hat with Oda's signature. Shanks' VA gave it to him like chapter 1. Here is my translation of Oda’s reply to his fan letter.😊
34
Oda loves One Piece smartphone apps and spends a lot of money on them. He pulls the gacha until he gets super-rare characters like Shanks. Oda said he sometimes wonders why he has to spend so much time and money to get these characters, which Oda created himself.🤣 (2020)
35
When Oda drew the Amazon Lily arc, he was worried that his daughters might consider him a pervert. One day, his daughter asked him, "Dad, you really like boobs, right?" Sadly, Oda realized he was no longer able to behave proudly as a father in front of his daughters.🤣 (2019)
36
Oda in Jump Festa: Shanks is inded a mysterious character. Will he meet Luffy in Film Red? He has many scenes in the film. I'm surprised Wano arc isn't over yet.😅 I've been looking forward to drawing "that" final scene of Wano arc!😍
37
Here is my translation of Oda's message for chapter 1000 released 1 hour ago😍👍
38
Oda's editors mustn't miss a phone call from Oda since otherwise he gets mad. They place their mobile phones on the chest when sleeping.😅 In 2017, editor confessed he had suffered from *phantom vibration syndrome* where it felt like his mobile phone was vibrating when it was not
39
Shanks was afraid about the damage Kidd may cause, but Beckman just looked relaxed. Oda: Shanks isn't perfect. The important scene in ch.1 is where Shanks was at a loss when Luffy got abducted. Anyone can draw a cool character. Beckman just smiles and supports Shanks.😊 (2022)

Label of the liquor next to Shanks says, "Number 5, 67", which might be inspired from "Destiny" symphony No.5 Opus 67 by Beethoven. It may be Oda's answer to the question in chapter 96, "His dream or his destiny..?"😋 #OP1054
41
[Lost in translation] Buggy, Shanks and Kaido/Big Mom declared they will get the One Piece. But they all used different definitions of *get* in the Japanese chapters. Shanks (奪る) sounds much more aggressive than Kaido/Big Mom (獲る). Buggy (取る) sounds peaceful. #ONEPIECE1082 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp Translation: I have no choice but to stand up when coloring my current drawings. Besides, I have to stand up when drawing a line of the panels. I can't keep my posture even for 10 minutes, so I have no choice but to roam around. No choice.😥
43
Here is a compilation of important ONE PIECE events that were not planned well in advance.😊
44
Zoro’s "best friend” (親友) in the last panel probably refers to Kuina, not Luffy considering he has used the word 親友 only for Kuina in his life. BTW, Smoker described Zoro as Luffy's partner (相棒) and Roger called Rayleigh his "partner" as well.😋
45
Oda (2022): I've been earning much money despite me just enjoying my ridiculous drawings. So, I decided to spend my money on ridiculous stuff.🤣 (ex. shark toilet, dragon bath, etc)
46
Here are Oda's sketches of Shanks and Ace in Strong World outfits. I wonder if this means Oda planned to include them in the film. If so, what would the story be like…?🤔 Oda says in this sketch, "The current hair-style of Shanks is totally different from 10 years ago." twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
47
Here is Oda's drawing when he was 15 years old. It is now on display at his junior high school. 🥰
48
Oda (2016):When Kaido was introduced, I said Luffy can't beat such a strong guy yet. And I'm yet to know how Luffy will defeat him. My audience won't be satisfied if the reason for defeating Kaido is just because of Luffy's strong punch. Luffy and I must find a solution somehow😋
49
Viz official translation about Big Mom implying some/one of One Piece as a treasure do exist in Wano is accurate. Japanese fans are hyped at this line.😍
50
Oda was depressed and wondered if he should quit One Piece when his daughter complained, "Dad, you're too busy to spend enough time with me.." A few years later, she started having a chihuahua dog.😋 (2012)
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
