Since the author Eiichiro Oda revealed the approximate time of the end and revealed a little description, fans have been even more vocal about the ending of "One Piece".
However, with the bad end of anime such as "Attack on Titan", more and more people are beginning to worry that "One Piece" that has been serialized for more than 20 years is already doomed to turn over.
Is it really impossible to write a perfect ending?
In fact, it is possible to refer to several ending routines in the movie.
(1) Break through the predicament and get catharsis
"The Shawshank Redemption", which has long dominated the top of the Douban and IMDb lists, is to use layers of preparation and superb statements to substitute the audience into the story, and finally the protagonist breaks through a seemingly impossible dilemma and pulls the emotions to the highest point, thus winning the resonance of thousands of viewers.
In fact, most movies are this routine, but based on different genres, whether the "goals" and "dilemmas" of the characters are more obvious.
(2) Kill the character and create tragedy
This is also everywhere.
The ones who killed the supporting characters, just in the hot movies, "Dune" and "Chosin Lake", are both;
The one that killed the protagonist, Avengers 4.
Of course, it is not simply to let the character die, in addition to having enough preparation, you must first make the character come alive, that can make the audience feel painful.
(3) Dark ending, leaving no hope
Dedicated to disillusionment episodes.
Such films often use dark stories to provide a warning effect on reality.
The classic "Seven Deadly Sins" is like this, and the characters end up in a dilemma, how to choose is to lose, shocking;
There is also the victory of the villain, such as "Old No Dependence", the bad guys are not judged by the law in the end, which is the best criticism of society.
(4) Super reversal, careful thinking
Mostly used in suspense movies.
There can be multiple reversals of "The Invisible Guest", and the reversal to the end catches the audience off guard;
It is also enough to have a reversal of "Fight Club", combined with the theme of the idea of shocking people.
This is a very test of the director's skill, and if it is not good, it is laughed generously and has become a funny comedy.
(5) Echo before and after, perfect closed loop
A big category of time travel is that the characters go back to the past, but can't change the past, and the final ending falls into a closed loop, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", Alfonso Cuarón really made the final crossing scene more exciting than the novel.
There is also the classic science fiction "Twelve Monkeys", the ending explains the foreshadowing of the opening, and the audience suddenly realizes that there can be a kind of pleasure similar to the decryption game. And in the end, another ending routine was added.
(6) Create suspense, the intention is still not exhausted
That is the sixth kind, which does not give a clear ending, leaving the audience with room for imagination.
"Twelve Monkeys" explains the closed loop of the male protagonist's fate, but the ending makes the entire human destiny stop at the crossing of female scientists.
The audience is suddenly enlightened at the same time, the intention is still not finished.
This routine must be played by Nolan.
In his masterpiece "Inception", he used a gyroscope to make countless audiences fall into brainstorming, and also pushed the topic of the film to a phenomenal level.
As long as the plot is exciting enough, this ending is often very popular.
So here's the problem.
Of these six endings, what kinds can One Piece use?
First, due to the length of the article, it can only give the protagonist Luffy a huge difficulty in the final stage, and then make a final chapter around this difficulty.
The long running time is an important reason for fans to worry about the bad ending, because the more you write, the more mistakes there will often be, the contradictions in the setting, the collapse of the combat power system, and the forced protagonist aura, these problems have been exposed.
Therefore, the most ideal can only be that Oda pours all his efforts into the final ending, the plot content is full, can return to the level of the judicial island chapter, some of the loopholes in the setting, I believe fans will also selectively ignore.
Second, will Oda choose to kill an important supporting character, or even Luffy?
Because Oda has revealed that he wants a banquet-style, fun ending, even if it happens, it can only be the end of the ending, and finally become a battle with a vengeful nature, not the tragic end like Ace helping Luffy block the fatal blow.
Otherwise, it will be a funeral instead of a banquet.
The third dark ending, based on "One Piece" or to be drawn for children, so directly Pass.
If the fourth kind of reversal is to be reversed, it can basically only be made from a few ultimate suspense.
Ancient Weapons;
Blank 100 years of history;
The Great Treasure of Ralph Drew;
Several key fruits have a hidden effect, etc.
Oda has confirmed that the Great Treasure will not be a vague, symbolic concept, but something real.
If it's really unexpected, it can really be a bit of a super reversal.
Fifth, there is no hope of forming a closed loop by traveling through time and space, and after Oda explains that the fruit of time cannot be crossed back, he should have abandoned this easy to collapse setting.
That's not how Attack on Titan collapsed.
If you want to use it, it can only be that after Luffy became one piece in the end, he went to sea again, which was reflected in the opening chapter.
Sixth, if it is finished, Oda should have a good rest for a long time, and will not continue to work. But it is not necessarily impossible to leave suspense, for example, after Luffy finally went to sea alone, he met a mysterious figure and made a will inheritance.
Five of them can be used, and if they are all used, can this ending be perfect?
Before and after entering the finale, an important character dies.
This person is most likely redheaded, or, Usopp.
The murderer, the ultimate boss, is Not surprisingly, Blackbeard. After all, there are so many important preparations in the first and middle periods (meet Luffy before the empty island and gain the ability to double fruits), and if he is not set as the final obstacle, the front cushion will become a waste pen.
A great war between Blackbeard and Redhead is likely to take place, and if Redhead is killed, it is likely to inspire Luffy's unprecedented anger and, incidentally, more potential.
However, this may be more than many people guessed, so it may be unexpected, or Usopp was killed.
Usopp's dream is to become a "brave warrior at sea", heroic to die, save the team, is definitely a manifestation of bravery. And everyone else has more specific dreams to accomplish, so others won't be bento.
Usopp and Luffy's friendship is obvious to all, Oda still let them fight in the Water Capital, if he is killed, then Luffy's anger value is not lower than the redhead death.
After a funeral, entering the finale, Luffy encounters an invincible difficulty, Blackbeard, who may need more external forces to win the battle, depending on how wonderful Oda can write and whether he can achieve the catharsis of the first ending.
On the way, you can insert a reversal, such as Blackbeard wins first, reaches Ralph Drew, but he can't get the big treasure, and then Luffy arrives, understands the secret of the big treasure, and wins.
After the victory, it was the banquet-style ending envisioned by Oda.
But it's also sad, as members of the Straw Hat Pirates disembark one after another.
Luffy, who became One Piece, decided to go back to sea because that's what it means to be One Piece.
Like Captain Jack said, head to the horizon.
Finally, luffy flew out to sea and met a small child, wearing the same straw hat that sent him red.
His original straw hat has been destroyed in the great war, or he has given it to the redhead, and Blackbeard broke the straw hat during the battle with the redhead, and Blackbeard also used the rotten straw hat to hit Luffy hard.
As for how the straw hat came about?
This is left to the audience to reverie.
Oda has said he will end One Piece in five years, and if anyone guesses that it is causing "spoilers", he will consider modifying the ending that has been set so far.
