The story
In the latest chapter of “One Piece,” currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, Zoro appears to slice off an enemy’s right hand — but in the very next panel, the severed hand lying on the ground is drawn as a left hand. Social media users spotted the discrepancy, and it quickly became a hot topic on 5ch as well. Thread opinions were split over whether it was a simple drawing error or an intentional plot hint, though the prevailing view leaned toward “no defending this,” backed by images showing the enemy’s hands intact and matched up just a few chapters earlier. Still, some posters shrugged it off, noting it would likely just get fixed in the collected volume.
What people said
Guess that was already brought up, huh
Can't be helped
By "even," you mean it happened more back in the old days — why'd you think that counts as a defense?
He's basically a Celestial Dragon (One Piece's untouchable ruling class) — above even the editor-in-chief
That's about the only defense I can think of
An AI would've missed it
Or maybe he just messed up again, plain and simple
Both hands were clearly intact and matched up just recently, so there's no defending this
That's exactly why people are saying it's foreshadowing, not a mistake
There's no way he'd make a mistake like this
Probably if they pointed it out, they'd just get yelled at
Same clan, that much's confirmed
Toei: "…Yes, sir."
End result: the art got prettier, but the content turned to garbage — ☆1.7
Bumped from its Sunday-morning slot and losing viewers to Demon Slayer reruns, the late-night One Piece Elbaf arc's Amazon review score is dead last — a number only a minor trash anime could pull off

Lol, lame
Honestly, for something this simple you could just snap a reference photo first and trace it, no big deal
The character designs seem intentionally dorky on purpose, but at least he'll never end up like Toriyama (Dragon Ball creator, often cited for simplistic designs)
I like the designs, but this time the Knights' outfits feel recycled from Impel Down
Wanted more of that eccentric touch that really shows off the Celestial Dragons' madness
Cut off MUMA's Nidhogg's head, stick it on as an arm, and round two begins
As long as it's fixed in the tankobon (collected volume), who cares
If it gets fixed, that means it wasn't foreshadowing after all 😭
There's no way Odacchi (affectionate nickname for Oda) would make a mistake
Nice try, hater
Not talking about it? Are you secretly a hater too, lol
Background and Discussion Points
One Piece currently runs on a biweekly publication schedule, with Eiichiro Oda handling most of the artwork while assistants and editors check panel-to-panel consistency. This time, the topic was a panel showing the enemy’s severed hand lying on the ground as a left hand, immediately after a scene depicting Zoro cutting off the enemy’s right hand. Thread posters were split — some argued “a slip like this at this point is unusual,” while others floated the idea that it might be foreshadowing — but images showing the enemy’s hands intact and matched up just a few chapters earlier suggest it’s more likely a simple drawing error. As commenters noted with examples from other long-running series like Dragon Ball, this kind of slip isn’t unusual for weekly or biweekly manga, and is typically corrected when the chapters are compiled into a collected volume. What often trips readers up is the assumption that a famous creator wouldn’t make mistakes — a premise that makes minor art inconsistencies like this one especially prone to going viral as a talking point.
