The Philosophy Behind the Absence of Death
In a 2018 interview, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, shared a unique perspective on storytelling that sets his work apart. “The reason I don’t want to draw scenes where people die is because I want to draw a party after the battle,” Oda explained. This philosophy highlights his desire to focus on the positive and uplifting aspects of life, even in a series filled with epic battles and intense conflicts.
Parties as the Ultimate Form of Friendship
For Oda, a party represents the pinnacle of friendship and camaraderie. “A party is my ideal form of friendship,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of celebration and togetherness. By avoiding death scenes, Oda ensures that the story can always culminate in joyous, heartfelt gatherings that bring characters and readers together in a shared sense of triumph and unity.
The Grand Finale: Ending One Piece with a Celebration
Oda’s vision for the conclusion of One Piece is deeply rooted in this philosophy. “I want to end One Piece with a big party,” he revealed, envisioning a finale that encapsulates the series’ core values of friendship, adventure, and celebration. This approach not only promises a satisfying conclusion for the Strawhat Pirates but also reinforces the themes that have made One Piece beloved by millions of fans worldwide.
