There are plenty of things in One Piece anime that do not appear in the manga, like filer stories, and vice versa, there are some scenes from the manga that do not appear in the anime like excessive violence. In this article, Dunia Games wants to talk about various One Piece facts that are only known by fans who are reading the One Piece manga!

1. Lola and Chiffon’s Encounter

Lola and Chiffon are the children of Yonkou Big Mom who have been separated for a long time. These twins appear in different arcs, Lola appears in the Thriller Bark arc, while Chiffon appears on Whole Cake Island. 

On the manga mini cover titled “Gang” Bege’s Oh My Family", the twins finally reunited. Because this only serves as a page cover, surely this does not appear in the anime.

2. Excessive Blood and Violence

Blood and excessive violence are something that cannot be shown on television. In One Piece manga, those things still can be shown but under some standards for the reader’s convenience. After all, black-colored blood won’t disturb that much to readers.

For example, in the manga, Shirohige’s face gets destroyed after being attacked by Akainu. Because this scene is considered too violent, this scene is never shown in the anime.

3. Zeff’s Leg

Sanji’s father figure, Zeff, lost his leg to save Sanji, as it is explained in the anime. As a fan who only follows the anime, you won’t know the real story behind it.

The truth is darker than that shown in the anime. A hungry Zeff decided to cut his leg and eat it. It’s very unbelievable and gross, but that’s the truth.

4. Sanji vs Vergo

After the time skip, all Straw Hat Pirates receive a drastic upgrade. Of all of them, probably Sanji’s growth is the most unseen. One thing that is different between the manga and the anime is when Sanji versus Vergo.

In the anime, Sanji is seen struggling against Vergo, but in the anime, he’s shown rather calm when fighting the traitor.

5. CP9’s Story

In the Enies Lobby arc, Luffy and the gang must fight against CP9 to save their friend, Nico Robin. In the end, Robin is saved after all CP9 members are defeated.

Rob Lucci and his gang are lying unconsciously upon being defeated with no explanation about their future, as shown in the anime. But in the manga cover story titled “CP9’s Independent Report”, we can know how they rise from defeat as well as the inclusion of Lucci, Kaku, and Spandam to CP-0.

6. Straw Hat’s Giant Fleet’s Story

In the anime, it doesn’t show what the Straw Hat’s Giant Fleet does after the Dressrossa arc ends, but in the manga, there is a chapter that describes their story, and it does not differ so much from CP9’s journey after losing to Straw Hats.

In the manga’s cover story, it is stated that Bartolomeo and his crew burn the Red Hair Pirates’ flag led by Yonkou Shanks, as well as Baby 5 and Sai’s marriage party.

7. Zoro vs Pica

There is an interesting thing that is shown in Zoro vs Pica in the manga. In the anime, we can see a large power gap between Zoro and Pica, but Zoro never states it directly to Pica.

While in the manga, Zoro mocks Pica by saying that their power gap is too large.

8. Law’s Middle Finger

Similar to blood and excessive violence, rude gestures like raising the middle finger are also never shown in the anime. In the manga, sometimes Law raises his middle finger, while in the anime, that gesture is removed by changing his middle finger to his index finger.

9. Bon Clay Is Still Alive

Bon Clay and Luffy have a strong bond since their encounter before the Arabasta arc. They later reunite in Impel Down, for his friend, Bon Clay is willing to sacrifice his life, and this makes him look cool.

At the end of the Impel Down arc, Bon Clay opened a path for Luffy to go while he sacrificed himself to face Magellan. In the anime, we don’t know his future, but in the manga, it is stated that he becomes the new okama queen on floor 5.5 Impel Down.

10. Luffy’s Power

After the time skip, Luffy’s power difference is seen at Sabaody when he uses Haki and defeats Pacifista with just one punch. In the manga, the power difference shown is massive.

When facing Hody Jones, Luffy even makes Zoro astonished in awe for seconds. During the fight against Doflamingo at Dressrosa, Luffy is seen a more relaxed than shown in the manga. In other words, he can defeat Doflamingo easier.

11. One Piece Manga Holds a Guinness World Record

After 25 years, the One Piece manga has managed to get the extraordinary achievement of being the most-sold manga in history. Shonen Jump magazine editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nagano has received a new Guinness World Record certificate for the One Piece manga with over 500 million copies in print.

This is One Piece's latest achievement after previously receiving an award from the Guinness World Record as the most printed comic book by a single author. The estimated number of manga sold in Japan is 416,556,000 copies plus about 100 million copies worldwide.

12. One Piece was Inspired by Dragon Ball

Eiichiro Oda admits that he has always followed Son Goku's stories since he was a kid by reading Dragon Ball in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Oda also added that Dragon Ball was one of his inspirations in drawing One Piece.

Oda acknowledged the fact that Dragon Ball had changed his life as a manga artist. He also praised the Dragon Ball graphics and story which he thought were best. Working with Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama is Oda's dream since childhood which has come true several times.

These working hours are so unbelievable, right? Oda did this because of his dedication to the One Piece manga. Oda doesn't want to disappoint readers, so he continues to work hard at drawing and writing One Piece stories.

14. Sanji's Initial Name

From the start, Oda never intended to use the name Vinsmoke on Sanji. Sanji's real name that Oda planned was Naruto. This is because Naruto means spiral, like Sanji's eyebrows. This was because the Naruto manga was about to release, then Oda decided to change his name to Sanji.

15. One Piece Was Planned for 5-Years Run

Since 1997, in various interviews, Oda has revealed several times how long it will take for the One Piece manga to end. Originally One Piece was planned for only 5 years. In the release year of the One Piece manga in 1997, Oda said that this manga would be finished in 5 years.

But due to certain factors, Oda keeps the story going to this day. For this reason, many fans also say that Oda is inconsistent.

16. Easter Eggs in One Piece

Oda kept several Easter Eggs in the One Piece manga which was also seen in the anime. One of the famous ones is Pandaman who appears many times in the story. Oda actually created the character Pandaman when he was a teenager inspired by Kinnikuman.

Apart from that, there are other Easter Eggs in the form of the Pandawoman Tomato Gang, and the Unforgivable Mask. Oda has also drawn several fictional brands such as Criminal, Doskoi Panda, and Cyberpanda.

17. Connections with Real-Life Pirates in History

The 2020 Japan Olympics attracted quite a lot of people's attention, especially when several athletes imitated the movements of One Piece characters.

He posed before carrying out the final match in the shot put event on August 5, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.

19. Only 3 People Know the Ending of One Piece

Even though it has been 25 years, the ending of One Piece has never been leaked. Only three people know the ending of One Piece, namely Oda himself, one of the editors, and a child named Hinati Fujinami.

Fujinami had lung cancer so she may not live long. Her last request is to know the ending of One Piece. The Make-A-Wish Institute then made her wish come true by bringing Oda to the hospital where she was.
