Oda's work program includes the first three days of the week dedicated to the writing of the storyboard and the remaining time for the definitive inking of the boards and for the possible coloring. [14] When a reader asked who Nami was in love with, Oda replied that there would hardly be any love affairs within Luffy's crew. The author also explained he deliberately avoids including them in One Piece since the series is a shōnen
manga and the boys who read it are not interested in love stories. [15] Conclusion Oda revealed that he originally planned One Piece to last five years, and that he had already planned the
ending. However, he found it would take longer
than he had expected as Oda realized that he liked the story too much to end it in that period of time. [16] In 2016, nineteen years after the start of serialization, the author said that the manga has reached 65% of the story he intends to tell. [17] In July 2018, on the occasion of the twenty-first anniversary of One Piece, Oda said that the manga has reached 80% of the plot,[18] while in January 2019, he said that One Piece is on its way to the conclusion, but that it could exceed the 100th volume. [19] In August 2019, Oda said that,
according to his predictions, the manga will end between 2024 and 2025. [20] However, Oda stated that the ending would be what he had decided in the beginning; he is committed to seeing it through. [21] In a television special aired in Japan, Oda said he would be willing to change the ending if the fans were to be able to predict it. [5] In August 2020, Shueisha announced in the year's 35th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump that One Piece was "headed toward the upcoming final saga.
However, the staff considered them opposites based on their ideals of hope. In contrast to Makoto's heroic ideals of obtaining hope, Nagito instead embraces the idea of despair, believing that from any corrupted work the cast can find salvation. [48][49] The anime End of Hope's Peak Academy introduces a rival to Makoto named Kyosuke Munakata who shares similar ideals but is corrupted due to his friends' death, and thus contradicts Makoto's ideals. Across the story, Makoto carries the "burdens of hope" regardless of how difficult are his challenges, allowing him to redeem Kyosuke. [50] For the third and latest game, Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Kodaka decided to focus on a new theme: lie. This is represented through mysteries and
surprises the player gets while playing the game. Kodaka claims that games would understand the ideals of lies when presented with the culprits. He was inspired by a mafia-like game where the answers are not provided to the player and thus wanted Danganronpa to go through this style in terms of writing. This mostly presented during the new gameplay elements from Killing Harmony as the player can enter into hidden routes when interacting with the rest of the cast. However, Kodaka had mixed feelings about it, finding it would
come across as forced storytelling. Kodaka also refrained from expanding the theme of romance in the game as he felt the cast would look weak if this was implemented.
Sword Art Online has received widespread commercial success, with the light novels having over 30 million copies sold

The anime series has received mixed to positive reviews, with praise for its animation, musical score, and exploration of the psychological aspects of virtual reality, but criticisms for its pacing and writing.

A third world known as Gun Gale Online (GGO) appears in the third arc and is stylized as a first-person shooter game instead of a role-playing game, and is the main setting of Alternative Gun Gale Online. It was created using the World Seed by an American company.
