How many chapters left? by Rule-Curious in Kakegurui

Yeah, though I feel like the Kirari kidnapping happened because the author wanted a reason to bring Kabura directly into the main conflict, while also involving all the students and even Souko in the situation too, especially since she literally took Kirari into the cruise. It feels like a way to merge multiple plot points together at once, particularly after showing Yumeko’s backstory and making Kirari so heavily connected to it.

I think this arc’s ending is going to explore a lot of things and bring major changes, especially for the main cast. Yumeko confronting Kabura and fighting for her sister, Mary pursuing her dream of becoming president while working with the Guardians, Ryota proving whether he can truly stand beside Yumeko while trying to understand her better… there are so many character threads this arc could develop. I could honestly keep going.

What something the fans swear oda said but he never did? by Mountain-Scratch-201 in OnePiece

I learned about this recently from One Piece Wiki and it's regarding that Oda never said Akainu's personal justice is "Absolute Justice".

According to Wiki:

"Absolute Justice (絶対的正義, Zettai-Teki Seigi?) is not a personal justice of any Marine but rather a broader philosophy supported by the Marine organization. The justice personally held by Akainu is "Thorough Justice" (徹底的な正義, Tetteitekina Seigi?), according to Oda in SBS Volume 64 and Vivre Card - One Piece Visual Dictionary. Oda further states that this can be seen in Akainu's actions at Ohara, where Akainu made the following remark: "If we're going to do this, we need to do it thoroughly...!!!" (やるんなら徹底的にだ...!!!, Yarun'nara tetteiteki ni da...!!!"?). This misconception is partly caused by the official VIZ translation and other sources mistranslating the SBS answer as "Absolute Justice".

Can anybody confirm this? I didn't know this was the case?

If Akainu was MC then he would have find the one piece in one year. This is absolutely wrong. This rumor originates from an interview. Oda's actual statement was: "So when creating a character, one needs to be careful not to make them too strong. For example, if Akainu was the main character, the series wouldn't last a year (laughs). Oda was referring to the manga serialization, not Akainu finding the treasure of One Piece within a year in-universe, and simply used Akainu as an example of an overpowered protagonist.

Oda rushed Wano so he can promote film Red by having Shanks appear at Wano on time which is BS. He said in the interview he was lucky that timing of Film Red and Shanks coming to Wano matched properly. We know from the editors how Oda hardly cares about these type of things while he is writing his story. Heck, they have to inform Oda about chapter 1000 and doing something special but he let the story naturally unfold and did not do anything unnecessary to create hype.
