I want to say a few things. 1) Fuji doesn’t want to interfere. He has already said enough of lines to make this clear. So he helps civilians or helps with his muscle power but he is not going to stop Doflamingo or the cage even if theoretically he would be able to do it until the last possible...

No it doesn't. She can heal people just fine. What requires her life would be the restoration of an object like a building. For example if Franky destroys the factory she theoretically could “heal” the factory but this would take her life as a price. Healing people is easy for her and does not...

I am with the people who think this was a terrible outcome, mostly because of the execution but a lot of arguments were already made so I will not repeat them. However I want to talk about something else. Many seem to think this Manga will go through all three of his high school years. This is...

I feel like I have argued this to death but losing will not help him as a character especially if you have pages like this and especially this one. So I would even argue that winning would be more beneficial to his character than losing. I mean what would come from a loss we haven’t seen...

A Japanese television show once calculated how much money Oda makes. Greg from OP Podcast (and so on) translated it and posted it:

I have to butt in, in this discussion. Seing Kurokos passes is not the only thing you see in chapter one. You see Kuroko himself who has the ability to erase his presence. From this point it was obvious for everyone or at least should have been to expect “superpower” basketball. Basically the...

Re: Shokugeki no Soma 86 Spoiler Thread It is only unpredictable for people who do not know the basics of storytelling. Let me tell you a secret that is not a secret. Soma is going to win the whole tournament and this was clear from the moment this tournament was announced. Why is that? Because...

The magazine is more important than individual series. The magazine sells 2.8 million issues every week. The rankings show for which series the people buy the magazine for and the magazine is a gigantic advertising platform, to easily or better said, more easily (because it is not that easy)...

Re: Hiatus X Hiatus - To Resume June 2014! It is true that Oda is one of the hardest working people in the business but he also has a team of assistants. I think it was nine or maybe a dozen. I don’t remember the exact number but it was quite high. Yet he sleeps barley 4 hours a night...

Re: Hunter x Hunter Chapter 349 Discussion/ 350 Predictions Least demanding?? In which kind of dream world do you live? Seriously. Do you not know anything about the schedule of a weekly manga artist? They work 7 days a week, yes no days off and usually sit in a room with no windows and...

Re: One Piece 757 Spoiler Discussion You really should read more or pay more attention to the stuff you read. This trope is used in every battle manga multiple time. Hell in the first chapter of One Piece it is used and after that dozens of times. Yes like already mentioned multiple time...

I thought so once too but now I doubt it. During the 1 month break Oda took before the time skip circulation only fell 50 000 which is insignificant. Oda also takes regularly breaks and circulation doesn’t seem to be affected. I think the percentage that buys the magazine for just one series...

He didn’t plan it to be 5 years. He thought he will need 5 years to tell the story he had planned. The three powers, what one piece is, the straw hats, the war on marineford and Ace’s death are all things he planned 1 year before he even started the Manga. The tale grew in the telling is a...

He is on a lighter schedule. The schedule is 4 chapters, 1 week break, 4 chapters, 1 week break and so on bearing no magazine breaks.

Dragon Ball has sold 230 Million worldwide. So 150 Million in Japan and 80 Million in the rest of the world. The official site for Battle of Gods said so. Here is the ANN article: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2012-12-03/2013-dragon-ball-z/battle-of-gods-film-story-outlined
