I made a timeline of all One Piece chapters by year, saga, and arc. (25 years, chapter 1-1050)

2008 was a good year. Amazing ending of Thriller Bark, all Sabaody archipelago and the beginning of Amazon Lilly. What a rush.

2004 was pretty much all LRLL, which, while some people certainly quite enjoy it, I'd still say it's probably the weakest of the years

I honestly miss the old chapter, like I know we get a lot more story done now but I don't like staying on the same island from multiple real world years, I liked when we got to see more of the diffrent islands on the grand line more.

True, a roller coaster of emotion too since the crew was beaten and Luffy knowing Ace was going to be executed.

2008 was also when crappy low quality speed scanlations started and the trend kept going for years thanks to mangapanda.

2006 to 2010 is GOAT

i came into reading One Piece during the beginning of Thriller Bark. It was good stuff.

Same with 99 and 2000 going in to baroque works after loguetown and meeting your first shichibukai. Good time for one piece fans

I been waiting for years to binge watch the entire series. I cannot wait.

Love to get a print of this at the end of the series

Agreed

!remindme 4 years

!remind me 5 years

You should probably have that mentioned in your will.

!remindme 4 years

a poster on a wall would be kinda nice! the artwork is kinda enough but can still be polished. how to make this a pc wall paper though?

!remindme 4 years

Concur

marinford was very short… shit is shorter than punk hazard

Don't get me wrong, we all appreciate Oda's work. But I think it really goes to show that shorter arcs are (generally) better arcs

I look at some of the arcs and i'm like "they were that short?"

little garden being 15 chapters is wild

Yup! Specially marineford.

I went the reverse, Drum Island is only two chapters shorter than Arlong Park???

Thriller bark was my first exposure to OnePiece and it felt like a whole series when it wrapped up.

Lol how fast it went to Arlong beaten, when you had to watch the Anime as a kid it felt soooo, arr, long

Pre TimeSkip one piece hits different!

Pre Timeskip had more comedy in it. You could tell that Oda was having a fucking blast writing them.

The writing has improved time skip IMO. But pre time skip was a simpler world that we didn’t understand as much so it has a great adventure feel

This is really cool. Thanks for making it

Hey thanks! Glad to see that people love it.

Very informative but what I really appreciate is the design here with the colors and the characters.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making this one.

Its the first time I see one of these that look really good. Theyre usually a mess.

Excellent graphic, easily readable, well designed and not overcomplicated. That 2008-2011 chunk looks incredible, there's so many cool little arcs hammed together, kinda miss it. Hope Oda finds a way to do some shorter stories again after Wano, be a good refresher.

Thanks! Though I still can find more improvements that should’ve been done lol.

Yeah this is better designed than 90% of

This data is beautiful! Love the color and art choices, so pretty to look at

Fish man Island was 10 years ago let that sink in.

Actually 12. 10 years and a week ago exactly was the alliance with Law

I remember that because it burnt me out so much that when Punk Hazard didn't start off with a bang I stopped reading weekly and didn't return to One Piece til 2019

Biggest surprise is how long syrup village was. The better part of 98 really?

Imagine being a weekly reader in 98. It must’ve been brutal to read Syrup Village week-to-week

Or Foxy.

Honestly now I realize that those two week breaks in between really did affect how long this arc was.

now that you mention it.....wow. 2006 had 3x as many chapters as 2020 and 2021 each

Should be noted that the number of chapters/year went down since Oda started to get breaks so it’s not just that the arcs are bigger (though they are).

And, the number of pages are fewer too.

dataisbeautiful

was Syrup village really almost a whole year?

half a year, two lines represent a year.

Wano by a long shot the longest arc. It’s been so long since a new arc started, gonna be a weird transition lol

This doesn't seem right. I distinctly remember Impel Down starting during autumn 2008 and not in 2009.

He made each row only 20 chapters long, Oda started writing 49 chapters a year but now does around 39. The arc lenghts in this graph are correct, but the years are just there to give a rough view on what year the arcs were written or it wouldn't have a rectangular shape.

nicely put together

Can’t wait for Enel to reappear

Joke or

Holy shit man, I joined in the manga mid- Dressrossa and I felt like I'm here for the last couple chapters. Turns out I've been here for a third of the journey - and by the time it ends, probably 50% of it.

been here since the 4kidz tv english dub in 2004. this series has been over half of my life.

I love this overview! Super clear and on point, thanks for putting it together! 🫡

Loving the patterns, colors, art, and timeline information. It puts a few things into perspective.

Thanks for your appreciation.

From the time MJ and the Bulls were on their way to complete a second three-peat, their 6th time in the Finals in 8 years, to the Warriors trying to win a 4th ring in their 6th time in the Finals in 8 years, One Piece was around. Talk about longevity and greatness, wow.

Love when

I wonder if the community will decide to split Wano into two? Wano and Onigashima arcs. I can see that being possible.

It’s possible. I followed whoever making the wiki page lol. Possibly similar to what happened to water 7 and ennies lobby.

Looking at this is making me feel like One Piece is too short.

Damn i started watching around the end of Arabasta, no wonder the French dub was stuck in East Blue.

You fucking madlad

The entirety of Marineford was 35 chapters. It’s been 51 chapters since roof piece started. That’s nuts

I adore when people make timeline art of One Piece.

2004-2010 goat years

Long Ring Long Land GOATED

True. And that was one piece as a company of my school years.

Wano took 4 years I was expecting new arc in 2022 ;_;

Soon. If you’ve been keeping up with the manga, we’re probably at the tail end.

Hopefully we’ll get a new arc this year. I think it’ll be Elbaf or beehive island as smaller arc before the final saga with god valley in it.

Great dataviz

It blows my mind that we have been hanging out with Momo and Kinemon since Punk Hazard in 2013 and all of the samuri stuff is wrapping up and reaching its conclusion nearly a decade later. It feels like they have been part of the crew for so long now, longer than Vivi ever was. The end of an era.

Alabasta and Water 7/Ennies Lobby will always be my favorite arcs.

Man… the run from water 7 to post enies lobby really was incredible

Damn Albasta was written in 2001. That arc is still one of the best I've read

It's 2022 and Water 7 / Enies Lobby is still one of the best anime arcs of all time, followed closely by the absolute mindfuck that is Sabaody Archipelago.

4 years wano wtf

I can't wait for the ulvoseidon saga!

This deservers to be in

it took fucking 10 years for kinemon and momonosuke to get to its final chapter as of today holy shit

I always forget how short Thriller Bark is. Didn't feel like it when it was current.

Wowww this is great! Would like to see timeline of anime adaptation in this style too.

Was just thinking today it would be interesting to see a chart like this! Awesome job!

Thanks!

The Samurai had to wait twenty years to see Kaido fall.

Woah…I’m only at Arlong Park…

I just finished Drum Island but I’d say Arlong Park is my favorite arc so far

This is a good show to start watching?

after almost 400 chapters and we finally reached the conclusion of punk hazard

Nice data visualization.

I Love this picture so much

!remindme 4 years

Now do episodes!

Beautifully laid out. Hope you keep it updated to the end

Should I be ashamed that I’m only really familiar with the chapters from 1997 to 2002?

If one piece was to be release post 2020, the anime will get cancel early. 1 year and they only manage to get to orange town. And also 1 year hiatus every arc 🤣

So this is how getting old with your loved ones feels like🥹

I stand by that the East Blue was the best one piece ever was, and this graph shows it better. Each little story took around 10 to 20 chapters and now you have entire arcs that take twice as long as the entire east blue put together.

Me a dubbed anime watcher ---😂

Bruh fishman island and dresrosa were so fucking long!

I miss the days when Skypea was the longest arc.

2004 is probably been the worst year for one piece 😂 Poor guys used to read foxy week by week...

After the Foxy Arc, the rest of the year almost finished the entire Water 7 arc which were some of the best chapters in the series

Caught up to the manga in Wano act 2. Crazy to think it’s almost over

Oh my word, you are beautiful. This is something I didn’t know I wanted and you are beautiful for giving it to me.

I'm at Thriller Bark :)

[удалено]

Nope, still going strong as always.. The grand theme of the story is still the same, the characters barely aged lol. Story wise it’s 2-3 years, while in real time it’s 25 years.

I’ll buy a poster of this after end of series

How do I get into this anime when it’s already over 1,000 episodes?

I chose to read it instead and it’s been pretty fun

The impel down and marineford arcs are a lot shorter than I remember wth

I am on the sky island saga I have a long way to go

This deserves a frame.

Saw this on

This guy has been a pirate for over 20 years and hasnt found shit.

Bruh they literally took home treasure from Sky Island and Thriller Bark

High res please!

Man I feel old. I was in it since the beginning of the anime, then took a hiatus when they cracked down on all the fan subs. It was right before thriller bark. Then kids happened, and finally go caught up about a year ago thanks to crunchy roll. I had a bootleg of east blue back in the day, saw that arc at least 5 times.

And to think Luffy still hasn’t found the One Piece…

dressrosa and whole cake should have swapped chapter lenghts.

Is it Arabasta? Why do they pronounce it Alabasta?

All official English translations use Alabasta. But Oda has spelled it both ways multiple times, so really either one is correct.

My 11yo son is getting me into Anime and we’ve been wanting to start One Piece but I can’t commit the time needed to catch up on 25 years of episodes. Any advice on where to start or which arcs we can pick and choose to get enough background info to start watching current episodes?

1998 is dire. A full year in syrup village. Thank fuck I wasnt reading chapter by chapter at that point.

Dude this is perfect!

I watch one piece only after an arc has finished...so I haven't watched it in years because wano is HUGE

People in 2042: "Ahh Wano, when One Piece was half done..."

[удалено]

Wild that I began watching one piece at the start of Dressrosa, it took me about a month and a bit of binge to catch up, (got to ‘Lucy’ and his tournament) then just binged the Manga since, can’t believe I read this every week for almost 8 years

I’m stuck on Zou

Started reading the manga last weekend, am almost done with skypiea. Its so enjoyable

I don’t even watch One Piece and salute your dedication. Stay thirsty my friend

Dressrosa really should have been shorter, we felt it at the time but even now looking back it was certainly true. All the running, the Doffy clone, the cage.

I hope post wano arcs are not as long... but with one or two (probably) more straw hats, the fighting arcs are going to become even longer as in classic oda style, we'll get another baddie for each of them to fight...

Dude wano doesn't feel that long

What was it like for OP readers reading about Luffy not having his crew for 2 whole years in 2009-2011?

I'm in Fishman-Island so roughly half way there. Wohooo! There is plenty left to go!!! Makes me happy!

It was in Skypia saga when I first read One Piece, almost 20years now huh ?

This is awesome! I'm always impressed with how talented people in this subreddit are. If you ever decide to sell this as a poster let me know!

You did great.

The entire time I've been a one piece fan the current arc has always been Wano-

I started watching back in 2011 and then they stopped airing them on my local TV channel so I couldn't watch any up until 2018 around the whole cake island arc. I am now trying to catch up with the latest ones consistently :v

Ngl once one piece is completed and you add the last saga it will be a nice art piece to have on your wall.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but this makes me feel the complaint about Wano's length to be somewhat exaggerated. It's not all that much longer than the Water 7 Saga, which to me can be viewed as one single thing You could even compare the raid on Onigashima for Wano to the the raid on Enies Lobby for Water 7, it's all one cohesive story.

The main difference for me is the W7/EL is paced extremely well and Wano deeply struggles with pacing issues throughout the whole thing. It makes it feel way longer than it actually is.

It is a bit different I would say - Water 7 saga was a self-contained saga. Wano is just a continuation of a saga that is lasting since Kinemon and Momo met the crew - that is going on for a decade now. When Water 7 saga started we didn't know CP was a thing - compare it to Beast Pirates which we knew a lot about years before we ever got to Wano. Let's not even mention that BM is the main (co-)antagonist for 7ish years now.

I remember hearing "wedding cakeyy" for months and months.

The woes of reading by the week...

Thanks for sharing :)

Very useful. Thanks!

I love what you did

Awesome!!! Take my upvote, sir!

Well done

Nice job man.

Maaaan to think it’s been over a decade since the New World Era began

Dang I was born a skypiea

This is cool as hell

AMAZING work! Have you thought instead of making row of 10, if you can make each row a volume?

WOW 909 started Wano? We have had over 100 chapters in this arc holy cow. Also it looks like the chapter dropped July 2018? Its been over 46 months on this arc O.o

It’s almost 150 at this point…

Yeah there have been a lot of great parts, but for me personally 100 chapters is just too long a time to spend on an arc. I'm ready for a change and a new adventure

Little garden is so tight. Highly underrated.

This is neat. It’s cool someone took the time to throw it together

Kaido has been a menace for the longest. This is nice and another one at the end of one piece would be very useful.

I appreciate this a lot. I love that you separate Saga's and Arc's, I feel like people get those confused so this clears that view up

What a time to be alive

This is dope! Great job!

Damn that's hella cool

Nice, it’s been a long journey. Thank you for putting it in this format

Amazing design, I love it

This is fucking majestic

very well done graphically and design wise, easy to follow and nice to look at

Dressrosa gave the feeling of being longer, I think it was due to the separation of the crew

Remind me in 3 years

!remindme 5 years

!remindme 4 years

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

!remindme 1 year

why is kinemon saga not named

Thriller Bark <3

Pre TS took 3 months in universe 🥲

Currently on Fishman Island and it's been a STRUGGLE to get through

Yo this is such an appealing chart. As a kinesthetic enthusiast I appreciate this very much

Damn I caught up in Punk Hazard. It’s crazy to think I’ve been reading weekly for almost ten years now

I want a woman as thicc as the Wano Saga. Damn.

Something very aesthetically pleasing about this

Thats excellent

😮

This is great, thanks for putting it together!

This is a really good-looking infographic bro

This is so cool
