He produces magnum opuses of media regularly, while adhering to his strict near-weekly publishing schedule. No other author could replicate a similar feat - Oda could write The Tempest if given a weekend, but Shakespeare would not be able to survive the Shonen Jump editorial process

People deride Luffy and the rest of the strawhats for “being too simple”, but this is a reflection of their own simple-mindedness. They are unaware that Luffy's straightforwardness is what makes him compelling; blissfully ignorant that his character is a Nietzschean post-modernist reconstruction of the archetypical hero. Oda is clearly prioritizing transcendent thematic clarity over pedestrian notions of complexity - which lobotomites appear to be unable to comprehend

The sheer audacity of fools that downplay Oda's creative genius is unparalleled. The amount of foreshadowing that he is able to effortlessly integrate into the overarching narrative is unmatched. When Skypiea mentioned a Sun god and Luffy danced around a bonfire, only adolescents dismissed it as coincidence. It is not enough to simply praise it as masterful foreshadowing, Oda possesses a level of narrative clairvoyance that marks him as a god among men

When simpletons make the ridiculous claim that the story has been "dragged out" or has "poor pacing", they are broadcasting their inability to engage with a long-form story that doesn't constantly feed their dopamine receptors. Complaining that you aren't constantly being fed epic fight scenes and instant gratification is just a showcase of your inadequate attention span. Did people complain that the Mona Lisa took too long to paint? If not, why do imbeciles whine about One Piece taking too long to end? Goda is composing a multi-generational odyssey that takes the audience on a journey which demands a level of patience, wit, and wisdom to complete

If you have reached this point and remain stubbornly mired in your own ignorance; the absolute artistic merit on display has been unable to sway your uninformed convictions - please examine the mathematical reality of the situation. One Piece is the best-selling manga of all time. It has outsold the Bible and Superman, and is already being studied in universities along with other masterworks

You can cling to your blissful stupidity, and hate One Piece in a desperate attempt to battle your own feelings of insignificance in the grand scheme of things, but the world has already spoken. Your favorite series will be relegated to obscurity in time; One Piece will be etched into the very bedrock of human culture

Oda is objectively the finest author of our generation
