Tony  You shut up, its still a speculation, do you even analyze it from the beginning? Naruto hasn't been confirmed to being gone, just because he hasn't been in the last few chapters doesn't mean he's gone lol kiddo

Im sure the author already know that if he remove Naruto, the series will plummeted down to the hell hole. Everyone loves Naruto, so him removing it will be such a huge impact in Boruto series

So I'll just say it again then, epicgames have out best games for free, even back then people are saying they'll go down because of giving too much free games, and yet still stand strong until now. Even with such a huge caliber as steam, they give out bad bad games 🤣🤣

Aside from oda illness, most of manga author can hardly escape illness no matter if they're still young or old. Its really burdening the mind to think about story far ahead and drawing the art for hours and hours while sitting can't be good for your health in long-term, now that if you think about it, oda's peers also had the same problems, not to mentions even the younger generation had the same problems of not having enough rest and no workout

One Piece isn't easy to jump in if you're new, since it does have lots of episodes and you'll be having to watches a few dozens to actually enjoy it, all the OG anime basically had lots of episodes and they all had slower paces, not like the new anime era where 1 season only had 12 to 24 episode at max

Chaboter  right now with the vast series of anime, maybe. But back then? No way, its still the OG top contender with OP and DBZ, not to mention some honorable series like HxH, Inuyasha, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop, and many more
