inspired by the wizard of oz?
edit"He was also inspired by The Wizard of Oz, claiming not to endure stories where the reward of adventure is the adventure itself, opting for a story where travel is important, but even more important is the goal.[5]"
Source says "Akashiya also asked Oda about the goal of the main characters in the story, the titular "One Piece" treasure. Akashiya asked if the treasure was "family bonds," and Oda replied, "No, I hate that kind of thing." Oda elaborated, saying, "That's like the ending of The Wizard of Oz, which I watched when I was a kid. Adventuring that long, and having the adventure itself be the treasure, is really dissatisfying. Those kinds of stories are impossible. It feels like, 'I've gone on this long adventure, so give me the treasure!'""
I'm not sure this counts as 'being inspired by', even if we included being inspired to do the opposite out of spite---it seems more like Oda brought up the Wizard of Oz as an example because of the interviewer's question. He certainly does not clearly state that he was inspired to make the treasure at the end of the journey more important than the journey itself because of The Wizard of Oz or as a result of his childhood frustration with it. (The article right now also seems a bit misleading about the story of The Wizard of Oz, lol.)
Not sure if I think this can be edited into something relevant, informative, and correct; or if it should be completely removed from the article. Suggestions? Butter no parsnips (talk) 04:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Butter no parsnips: I reworded and moved the sentence to the conclusion section to make it more accurate to what the source actually says. Thanks for pointing this out. Xexerss (talk) 04:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Clean-up needed in occurence
editof the word "manga". Understandably, it will appear. Unnecessarily often though, at my time of writing. Tried to begin but realised the article it is too vast for a morning sitting. Please undertake the work of substituting/removing the word "manga" in its many superfluous instances.
One Piece as Science Fantasy
editThe One Piece should honestly be categorized as a Science Fantasy franchise. EmperorAlexander99 (talk) 12:53, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
First volume cover and plot
editI revive the topic of adding a consistent plot and the first volume cover as profile picture. The reason are all of the next: 1. The premise is not enough to understand the entire story all in all 2. We have also many, many not only Japanese manga, but movies and TV series that have their own plots on them, why not with One Piece? 3. The very first volume cover as profile picture will avoid newcomers who know nothing about the series to get spoiled about future events. As I remark clearly enough, volume 61 has all members of Luffy's crew up until the timeskip, which is, in fact, a spoiler I believe to have something right with these statements, however we can still discuss these issues even further beyond
PD: Is the start of the series the 19th or 22nd of July? That topic remains unclear to me 181.92.49.206 (talk) 18:54, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
