One Piece Settles Controversial Wano Finale Translation

08/26/2022 06:47 pm EDT

The War For Wano has come to a close in One Piece's manga, as the Straw Hats prepare for what will be their final adventure from creator Eiichiro Oda. Before setting off into unknown territory, the residents of Wano Country saw off Luffy and his crew members, with one resident of the isolated nation celebrating the demise of Orochi, the pint-sized Shogun who put Kozuki Oden and his family through hell. With Orochi now gone, a translation has been settled when it comes to what should happen to his bloodline.   

Many One Piece fans were thrown for a loop when it was revealed that Yamato wasn't joining the Straw Hat Pirates for the Final Arc, instead, looking to continue his journey as the namesake of Kozuki Oden by traveling around Wano before hitting the seas. Luckily for Yamato and other residents of Wano that fought against the Beast Pirates, Luffy offered them the opportunity to become Straw Hats whenever they wanted. Aside from the likes of Momonosuke, Yamato, and the Nine Red Scabbards, the daughter of Oden, Hiyori, took the opportunity to dance on the grave of the tyrant, Orochi, following his fate of being burned alive after suffering quite a few brushes with death during the War for Wano Arc.

One Reddit User compared and contrasted the "Official Translation" with the "Unofficial Translation" wherein the official sees Hiyori stating that Kurozumi Orochi was "born to burn", rather than the unofficial dialogue which hints at the idea that the entire bloodline of Orochi's must burn:

Hiyori and the other residents of Wano Country certainly seem as though they have been given a proper finale with this latest chapter. The Final Arc's story is still a mystery, with creator Eiichiro Oda keeping the story of the final adventure of the Straw Hats under wraps so far, though the mangaka has hinted at the idea that we will have around three more years of One Piece before the series comes to an end.

The anime adaptation hasn't brought the War For Wano to a close as of yet, with one of the biggest moments having yet to take place in the form of Luffy discovering his Gear Fifth transformation. Needless to say, this will be a moment to remember for the anime series.
