A Frustrating Delay
In 2015, Suguru Sugita, the 8th editor of One Piece, found himself frustrated with Eiichiro Oda for submitting his manuscript later than usual. Deadlines are tight in the world of manga publishing, and the pressure can be immense. Sugita’s annoyance was understandable, as timely submissions are crucial to maintaining the series’ release schedule.
The Emotional Impact of Rebecca and Kyros
However, all frustrations melted away when Sugita finally received and read the manuscript. The chapter where Rebecca meets Kyros was so profoundly touching that Sugita couldn’t help but cry. The emotional depth of the scene, capturing the long-awaited reunion between a father and his daughter, struck a chord with the editor, making him forget his earlier irritation.
Oda's Own Tears
The emotional impact of this chapter wasn’t limited to Sugita. Eiichiro Oda himself shed tears while drawing the heartfelt reunion. Oda’s ability to pour genuine emotion into his work is a testament to his dedication and connection to the story and characters he has created. This shared experience of crying over the same chapter highlights the deep emotional resonance that One Piece can evoke, even for those involved in its creation.
