CATDOLL: "One Piece" author Eiichiro Oda asked the editor to die for the manga!

The classic youth manga "One Piece" has attracted the love of anime fans all over the world with its interesting settings and passionate battles. The author of this work, Eiichiro Oda, is also known in the industry for his hard work. It was previously reported that he only slept three hours a day and worked all year round. This situation seems to have continued to this day. Everyone knows that Oda is very strict with his work requirements. Recently, the editor of "Weekly Shonen JUMP" revealed that Eiichiro Oda had said to his editor-in-chief: "For "One Piece", you must work with the awareness of dying!" His editor-in-chief was also moved by Oda's spirit, and Eiichiro Oda really worked with this awareness.

"Weekly Shonen Jump" editor interview:

Kawashima: What impressed me most when I accepted the OP role was that Oda told me, "Die for One Piece." (Laughs) He meant that I should work with this awareness. In fact, Oda-san also drew the OP with this awareness. When I heard Oda-san say this, I was shocked at first, but I was also very moved. I thought, "This person really draws with awareness."

Hattori: When I accepted the responsibility, Mr. Kawashima invited me to dinner. There, Mr. Kawashima said to me, "Be nice to Mr. Oda." In short, Mr. Oda is aware of his life for his comics, so he asked the editor to do the same.

Hattori: Oda has very high requirements for work. Because he is the one who works the hardest, he requires the editors to work hard as well. This is the platform for Oda-san. He has done his best, and we also feel that we have to make corresponding efforts. But there will always be times when we are lazy. If Oda-san finds out, he will scold us. But there is nothing we can do about being scolded by Oda-san.

Dooda: Oda-san is just like an F1 car that keeps working hard. His engine is already excellent, and with his hard work, he runs very fast. But we are ordinary people, like a light-displacement vehicle. So when he was editing, he was always in the accelerator.

Asada: Oda-san has a clear goal and works hard for it. It's as natural to him as breathing. I'll tell you something that happened before the series started. I went to Oda-kun's house and he had already drawn many original drawings for the color pages. And they were all drawn with markers. That was a time when markers were not mainstream.

It seems that Mr. Oda has been working very hard until now, but everyone has also noticed that the rate of suspension of One Piece comics has been increasing recently, and many fans are worried that Oda's health has reached the point where he can no longer bear it. Regarding Oda's "working hard" attitude, many fans also said that although it is a good thing to be serious and demanding at work, everything will be bad if it is overdone. In any case, Mr. Oda should pay more attention to his health.
