Eiichiro Oda is the creator of the best and biggest anime and manga series, One Piece, which has been running for over 20 years. However, his brilliant idea in developing One Piece did not come without its consequences. Oda has an unhealthy working habit that has affected his lifestyle, as he admits himself.
According to the One Piece news translator, Sandman (@Sand_AP), Oda recently opened up about how working on the series, One Piece has worsened his health. “The biggest change since I started One Piece is my weight,” Oda said in a 2022 interview cited on Instagram @mugiwarainfo. “I worked without eating for several days and then ate once I finished, so my weight increased,” he said. “The doctor warned me about my high blood pressure, but I thought it was not a problem,” he continued.
Despite downplaying concerns about his high blood pressure, Oda believes that the One Piece franchise can succeed without him if his health deteriorates. However, this is not necessarily the case for One Piece fans (Nakama). They recognize the importance of Oda’s role in the series, as he is currently committed to finishing the manga’s last storyline.
On the other hand, Oda has also recently been involved creatively in the live-action television series for One Piece on Netflix. Interestingly, the live-action series will not be released until it meets with Oda’s approval. This is believed to be because Eiichiro Oda does not want to present a live-action version that is not good enough for One Piece fans.
In conclusion, Oda’s unhealthy working habits have affected his health over time, which is a concerning issue for One Piece fans. However, he is still committed to finishing the One Piece storyline, and we hope that he will take care of his health along the way.
