New One Piece Twist Sparks Reaction: 5ch Says ‘Should’ve Wiped Out the Pirate King…’

Written by

in

In the latest chapter of One Piece, a scene depicting the apparent final boss expressing regret with the line “I should have wiped out the Pirate Kings back then” became a hot topic on Nandemo Jikkyo (5ch’s “anything goes” livestream-commentary board). The thread buzzed with the usual running joke about “when is this series ever going to end” and speculation on just how long Imu’s flashback arc will drag on.

How come Rocks didn't just flip over and become fully healthy?

Domi Riva's power is probably just some kind of mind control — the whole "dies, flips over, comes back to life" thing is probably tied to that instead.

Is there really any benefit to doing Akuwaru here?
10Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:00:34.46ID:1KmZ5qzx0
Is it finally going to end?

It has nothing to do with One Piece or the Pirate King, so no, it's not ending.

Apparently it wraps up whenever the Reiwa era ends.

The guy's been alive for over 800 years — what has he even been doing all that time?
30Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:10:38.81ID:qYzqCWXJ0
>>15
Those 800 years were probably peaceful and uneventful
so of course he didn't do anything.

Next time: tragedy in Imu's past…!!

Bet we're getting the twist where he gets one-punched by a gorilla and goes down, then Joy Boy saves him.

Ahyahyahya!! The apple old man is dead!!

It took two years to beat Kaido
so if this guy's the final boss, it'll probably take five.
25Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:06:08.39ID:LykIzBFv0
>>22
Counting from when the fight against Kaido started with just a handful of people?
No way it'd take that long, come on…

There's still a ton of hinting left before the flashback's ready to go

Calling it now — Imu and Joy Boy were best friends when they were young, but their visions of an ideal world gradually diverged and they had a falling out, or something like that.
28Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:09:42.97ID:lluARUXZ0
Oda: "One Piece's serialization is ending… aaaaand!! Starting next week, One Piece SECOND begins!!" BOOM!!

It's probably going to end up like this anyway.

Is drawing everything from someone else's point of view instead of the main character's some kind of sickness or what?
Hasn't it been rough ever since the New World arc?

He's always wanted to do his own version of Dragon Ball's Namek arc.
46Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:21:53.78ID:fgQF+DcI0
Blackbeard hasn't even been beaten yet, and the real final boss is Roger.
53Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:26:44.32ID:LQV3P+wn0
>>46
Nah, the final boss is Joy Boy.
51Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:25:36.14ID:MkRMlvRh0
You guys keep complaining, but if One Piece actually ends, there'll be nothing left worth reading in Jump — that's the scary part.

Hunter x Hunter.

The scary part is the editors whose paychecks depend on it.
55Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:27:16.37ID:3zSKCkp80


Just from this alone you can tell no other manga can seriously compete.
63Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:29:56.93ID:Upw4vJEd0
>>55
Compete at what, lol?
67Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:30:55.65ID:r+xxsjD20

Isn't that ripping off how in Demon Slayer, anyone who uses Breathing techniques dies young?
64Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:30:19.51ID:48yEd/zy0
And now, we go into the flashback.
66Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:30:37.24ID:Jw2ecV9p0
>>64
Nope, it's going on hiatus.
68Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:32:35.94ID:7sBb2GNJ0
Hey, when are they actually going to use that ancient-weapon-looking thing from the experiment?
If it's not being used on Elbaf, what was even the point of it?
69Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:34:33.06ID:vqZZjaXW0
>>68
He's probably just doing it because he's got time to kill.
75Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:35:54.04ID:d5k3Ebnc0
>>68
They're in the middle of paying off foreshadowing, just wait.
74Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:35:49.96ID:CyOt0usrM
The incompetent guy who just hid his name and left it at that

Meanwhile Monkey "D" Luffy's name is plastered all over the world on wanted posters, lmao.
98Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 09:06:10.40ID:sGdUMnGV0
>>74
And after that they go and make Marshall D. Teach one of the Seven Warlords, lmao.
79Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:40:12.62ID:u3YxOlym0
Imu's flashback looks like it's going to be a long one
Probably eats up a whole volume.
80Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 08:40:31.63ID:+43XsPlZd

He's the final boss
Three volumes, easy.
