Eiichiro Oda recently announced a three-week hiatus for the One Piece manga, which is about to conclude the opening segment of its Final Saga with the Egghead Arc. Breaks like this are not a new phenomenon, although their frequency has gradually risen of late. This news also comes after the death of a true titan of manga, Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball and one of Oda's childhood heroes. It stands to reason that Oda must still be reeling from this tragedy, and he even referenced its impact on him in his message.
