This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
Summary
- One Piece fans rejoice: No break after Chapter 1149
- Chapter 1150 will drop on time on June 1st
- Oda taking breaks due to health and extensive workload
One Piece fans are always delighted when no break is announced on a Sunday with the latest chapter drop. Sadly, due to Oda's health, this is not as common as it used to be a few years back.
One Piece: Oda Reveals A Pirate Even Stronger Than Luffy And Zoro
Luffy and Zoro are powerful, but Oda revealed a pirate in One Piece stronger than both in One Piece.
As the story heats up in Elbaf, the last thing fans want is another break. That said, fans should also understand why Oda takes breaks and why they should be more patient on break weeks. But, all that doesn't matter today, as fans just got great news from the Shonen Jump Magazine. One Piece is set to continue next week.
No Break After One Piece Chapter 1149 Confirmed
Chapter 1150 Will Drop On Time
One Piece is definitely the most popular manga series out there, being the best-selling series by a landslide. The manga has been ongoing for almost three decades now, with far over 1100 chapters out. Sadly, the creator, Eiichiro Oda, has been taking more and more breaks due to how exhausting the work is, which is understandable. Due to that, it’s always stressful for fans to see if there will be a break or a new chapter every new Sunday.
One Piece chapter 1149 dropped today, on Sunday, 25 May, and with it came the big announcement as well. Fans can rejoice as One Piece chapter 1150 will come out on time on Sunday 1st June, meaning there is no break next week. The start of June is going to be phenomenal for One Piece fans.
What comes after is still unconfirmed, but seeing how many breaks Oda has taken recently, especially thanks to Golden Week, it’s unlikely he will take a break even after One Piece 1150. Instead, he’ll likely take one after One Piece chapter 1151.
Why Has Oda Been Taking So Many Breaks?
Oda Has Been Taking Breaks For Many Reasons
A few years ago, Oda was not taking many breaks at all. However, the longer One Piece goes on, the more breaks Oda has been taking, and while disappointing to fans, this is definitely for the better.
Eiichiro Oda deals with some health issues and needs rest. Furthermore, the work of a manga on a weekly basis is very hard. Oda has previously stated he barely sleeps and doesn’t have much time to eat or spend time with his family.
Oda has also been getting involved in some projects revolving around One Piece that aren’t the manga, such as the One Piece Live Action by Netflix. This definitely takes some of his time at some points in the year.
One Piece: Oda Finally Reveals Who Is Stronger Between Zoro And Sanji
Zoro and Sanji are both powerful, and Oda finally reveals who is stronger between the two in One Piece.
Recently, Oda got an extra break week due to Golden Week, which is a major holiday week in Japan.
Fans should definitely be more patient with Oda as he delivers his story on an almost weekly basis with few breaks. One break every 3 weeks for him is only one break week in a whole month of working all the time.
