In a surprising twist though, he is going to be replaced by the former editor ofJujutsu Kaisen! This has set fans into a spin of questions and speculation. What really prompted this? Will the new editor bring anything special to the series, or keep things just the same? The more one thinks, the more one sinks within its endless possibilities!

Reportedly,Eiichiro Oda, the mastermind behindOne Piece, recently announced one of the most unexpected and drastic changes that is going to happen with its editorial team. It has been declared that Anayama Kaito, who had taken charge as the editor in February 2023, is soon resigning.

However, this has left fans quite puzzled as they are now discussing the possible reasons why such a decision was taken anyway. Fans are going to be looking closely at how this change affects the series that they love so much.

What might have triggered such a sudden change?

No matter how you look at it, the whole scenario of this sudden editorial staff change is bound to leave fans on the brink of curiosity. Naturally, some are gossiping that perhapsAnayama Kaitowas removed because he might have pursued Oda multiple times, requesting to take fewer breaks and keeping a strict production schedule. And that could easily piss Oda off.

However, some are excited by the idea that the formerJujutsu Kaiseneditor, Junya Fukuda, will handle the series. According to them, there is a greater chance of more epic fight scenes if Fukuda takes over. So not all fans are optimistic about this move, as there are also people who might not tolerateany unexpected change in the overall narrative.

Another reason for concern is the secrecy that has surrounded theOne Piecestoryline. One fan pointed out that Katsuhi-san is now privy to the deepest secrets of the series, and his resignation has raised concerns about leaks or changes to the story. Fans are now just anxiously waiting to see if this editorial change will bring any noticeable differences to the beloved manga!
