User:The Forgotten Beast/Ruined FOREVER

Fans realize something Eiichiro Oda and Toei do not, that robust 18-year-old million-dollar franchises, while seemingly healthy, are in actuality as fragile as two bricks tied together with tissue paper. One mistake, one bad mis-step will cause the entire thing to shatter and fall apart; and the manga would be ruined FOREVER .

Fortunately, there is hope. The manga fanbase has resolved to remain ever vigilant against something that could Ruin One Piece Forever, and call out a warning if they see something that could potentially do so.

Some fanboy conservationists suggest a more extreme approach, that the manga should abandon all attempts at re-invention and instead cater exclusively to the old-school fanbase who liked things as they were during the earlier arcs. Though attractive, this approach may prove impractical as a long-term solution.

Ruined Forever remains a serious threat to the manga and in the foreseeable future, though it's possible a proposed initiative requiring all fans to purchase the annual Volume and DVD releases (as well as every piece of needless merchandise pumped out by the Toei/Jump greed machine) could ensure our fragile brand's continued existence.
