Part 3 Of The Discussion Between Takehiko Inoue And Eiichiro Oda

Recommended Videos

You may remember that back in June, we linked to the translation of a discussion between Takehiko Inoue (Vagabond) & Eiichiro Oda (One Piece). Part 3 of this piece just went up, and you can give it a read here.

 

Here’s a short excerpt:

 

Inoue: Had you thought about the overall concept from the beginning?

 

Oda: Yes. The story’s end hasn’t changed once since the beginning. The problem is that I haven’t been able to really digest all the things that are happening along the way toward the end.
How do you go about your storytelling?

 

Inoue: Hmmm. When I begin I don’t think about the overall concept or the ending at all. It’s really impressive how you can think about it and stay engaged from the beginning.

 

Oda: Really, it’s only the goal that I’ve made a decision on.
