>still as popular as ever
What, in your own words, is the secret to One Piece's success? What makes it so good that it still holds up 20 years running?
One Piece has been going for over 20 years
Nostalgia. Same reason people still watch Dragonball despite Super being an insult.
oda literally stole everything that made DBZ popular for one piece
we are one arc away from luffy having a attack that changes his hair colour
OP came out at the perfect time, especially the anime. DBZ was over and anime started to become popular/mainstream outside of Japan.
And now people are so invested in it, why would they stop after already reading/watching 500 chapters/episodes?

The same thing that made old video games good, they were about a love of creativity and the studios weren’t ruined and still fresh.
Oda never sold out, he loves One Piece way more than most other authors seem to love their stories, and readers like that.
im posting this before the "hunterFags" show up
spread the word boys, theyre actually beta cucks, youtube clip very related
Because the manga keeps legitimately getting better (in general). Oda is actually not a total hack when it comes to writing something this fucking long THUS FAR at least.

>Oda never sold out, he loves One Piece way more than most other authors seem to love their stories
That's the thing though, every author loves their own work, but how come Oda manages to keep up expectations this long without his manga turning into shit?
Most long-running mangaka fall into a trap where things get more and more shit over time, yet Oda's quality never really dropped over the years while every other mangaka's has.
