In 18 years of publication, One Piece had about 8 or 9 editors. That is, each one worked for about two years or two and a half years with Oda. You can see the difference in how the arcs are developed based on the editor?
> Editor #1 Takanori Asada: “Back when the very first volume of One Piece went on sale, Oda and I went to a bookstore in Hibarigaoka where we were secretly watching over the readers buying the One Piece volume. I still remember the middle schoolers buying it in the beginning.”
> Editor #2 Takahiro Habuta: “Even with the deadline getting closer and closer, Oda was still drawing the uncountable number of people during the big clash in front of the [Alabasta] Royal Palace between the Royal Army and Rebels. I could only think, ‘if only this was just a ten versus ten battle he’d have the manuscript done more quickly…’ I wasn’t able to tell him that though (laughs)”
> Editor #4 Naoki Kawashima: “The best memory from my own time as an editor was being able to witness the ten year anniversary of One Piece. Being involved in [the organization of] all sorts of events reminded me of just how great One Piece is! And seeing just how passionate Oda is towards [his] manga really left a great impression on me every single day.”
> Editor #5 Kôhei Ônishi: “It was 3 a.m., the middle of the night, when I received a fax from Oda, the chapter’s rough draft. That scene where Zoro stands up for Luffy and takes on a Warlord of the Sea [Bartholomew] Kuma’s attack…!! He didn’t mention this scene to me during the meeting at all so I was so surprised and at the same time moved that I was crying my eyes out!”
> Editor #6 Akira Jean-Baptiste Hattori: “[My favorite moment were] the movies that Oda was very much involved with since production started, [especially when] “Strong World” and “One Piece Film: Z” became a big hit. If Oda’s involved it’s sure to become interesting, which is, I think due to Oda’s attitude towards his work, thinking whether or not something is really fun or not until the very end. I was very glad to be able to work with him.”
Akira is now the editor of World Trigger, I think.

I don't really care.
All I can tell you is that One Piece of Shit is overrated and I can't wait for this shit to end so the pleb start shutting the fuck about it.

Dragon Ball had three and you can see the difference between them through the storyline. The first, Torishima, worked with Toriyama in Dr. Slump and the first phase of Dragon Ball, which has more adventure and comedy, as well as Dr. Slump. The second was Yu Kondo, who took over during the the most serious arcs, focused on fighting: Saiyan, Freeza and Cell. And Fuyuto Takeda worked in the Boo "mess" arc.

wait what, he's a real person? Is majority of the Bakuran people real?
>>139044589
Well all of Bakuman characters are based on real people in WSJ, but only loosely. I guess this guy is much more on-point with his prototype, he even mentions in manga how he's getting One piece.

Oda's previous editor, the one during post timeskip stuff like Fishman Island and Dressrosa had to be bad.
Things have gotten a lot better with the new editor conceding with the Zou arc.

No, you're just finally accustomed to the weekly pacing.
>>139045097
I've been reading weekly since Impel Down.
Zou is by far the best arc in the New World yet, and I don't think Oda getting a new editor is just a coincidence.
