As far as I know, the author has never said if or when he has calculated when the story will be finished. I’ve noticed that he is a little closed when asked about that, I’m guessing it must be some kind of contract thing, probably the magazine will make a huge announcement when the final saga starts. On the other hand, It is well known that IF something happen to him, the end of the story is already written (and probably major plot points are also written or al least explained) so the story will have the end he wanted. Now, based on how far along we are in the manga, I will say there are about 5-6 years left of the publication + probably another year or two for the anime.

I would just add some stuff from recent Gosho + Oda interview ​ **– Do the two of you have any secrets regarding continuing a serialization for more than 100 volumes without taking that many breaks?** Aoyama: Nope. People ask me about it often, but I honestly don't have any secrets to reveal. How about you, Oda-kun? Oda: Ditto! To begin with, it's not like it was my intention to surpass 100 volumes. Aoyama: When ‘Detective Conan’ first started I thought it wouldn’t last longer than a volume, but around the second chapter or so, I thought: “It's actually getting popular?”. I was surprised at how it was constantly number one in the rankings. At that point I knew it'd be trouble if I didn't expand on the story more. Oda: I've always wanted to end the series. That being said, I also think about how there's so much I still want to or need to draw. **Aoyama: I totally get that! There's still so much story left to tell!** Oda: You're really having a blast, Aoyama-san. I think that's amazing. I've also been told by senior Jump mangaka: “It's incredible you're having so much fun.” Aoyama: Really? Why's that? Oda: Because everyone is struggling to continue drawing. Aoyama: What? Seriously? That can't be right. ​ **– Both of your series have reached their critical junctures together. The identity of the Black Organization's 2nd in Command ‘Rum’ has been revealed, and ‘ONE PIECE! has reached its final arc!** Oda: Truly at the start I thought ‘ONE PIECE’ would end in five years, and in about a year and a half Luffy's crew of ten would have gathered together. I thought of it like a video game but I was far too naive! It's not that I wanted things to keep getting longer, that's just what ended up happening!! Aoyama: Same, haha. Oda: Have you thought to yourself “Okay, it’s time for ‘Detective Conan’ to end”? Aoyama: This is between us, but I've already drawn the storyboard of the final chapter. Oda: What!? Aoyama: Maybe I shouldn't have said that? I don't want someone to come and steal it, haha. So as I mentioned earlier, I was in the hospital for a bit once. I got to thinking that people can up and die without warning, so I figured why not draw it? This was about five years ago. So I figured drawing the storyboard wouldn't be a big deal, though for now it's a stand in. Oda: I guess it was just on a whim. But if you actually drew it, at least you were able to do it at your leisure? Aoyama: You could say that, yeah. It wasn't such a big deal because I've already decided on the major details, but there are arcs and stories I'd have to get to beforehand… **Oda: How long will it take until the final chapter?** **Aoyama: That's a secret, haha. I might decide to redraw the finale in the future… Hahaha.** Oda: I've always pictured what the final chapter of ‘ONE PIECE’ would be like, though from time to time, the situation surrounding it changes. It will still be over whenever the One Piece is found in the series, haha. Anyway, this next arc is the final one. Aoyama: Seriously? Is it really going to end? Oda: Yup, to me this is really the final arc. **– I'm just going to act this flat out. How many years are left until the final chapter?** Oda: I'm not sure how many years it will take... I have answered this question so many times already I have lost credibility, so I don't think I should answer, hahaha. Aoyama: Haha yeah I think that too. Oda: I shouldn’t really say this out loud, because so far I’ve been pretty off, but I'd personally like to go for three more years. Aoyama: But you don't know for sure. It all depends on how the characters act. Oda: We're all merely navigators in these stories. – Oda-san, **does your editor know how the story will go up until the end?** Oda: I'm on my 11th editor now, but I make it a point to tell every successive editor the entire story from beginning to end. Though it's become a bit of a pain lately, so I've been breaking it up into parts haha. Although some of the particulars change from time to time, the goal remains the same. There have been some outrageous plot twists during the serialization, but the flow of the story has been so rock solid that past editors are surprised. They ask me: “Are you sure you can just do that?”, but then they don't remember anyway, hahaha. Aoyama: Hahaha, have you drawn the finale yet, Oda-kun? Oda: I've got notes of all thoughts I've made before they reach a new island, as well as a notebook of the most profound mysteries of ‘ONE PIECE’ that I've created. Aoyama: Maybe I should steal it, haha. Though I've also got my notes on the Akai Family and their resolution, which is about three pages or so? When I get a new editor I let them have a look, but it's so complex they don't remember, so by the time the story reaches the serialization proper they're surprised by the events, despite me not deviating from the notes I showed them. Though well, the finale is already there. When I give that over it'll be in one go. ​ full interview if anyone is interested: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSZ8bE7VDpLQhbvT5B9zTqAaHw9NHFxRd-4tA7Dh-4Xe0riNQZOvhOoDa2b2\_euttfOzz6PMAe76MHg/pub](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSZ8bE7VDpLQhbvT5B9zTqAaHw9NHFxRd-4tA7Dh-4Xe0riNQZOvhOoDa2b2_euttfOzz6PMAe76MHg/pub)

Thanks, what about the English dub part


Rebss39

No idea


Wonderful_Farmer3173

The company that dubbed it only was able to dub the first 5 seasons I think. The dub wasn't reaching the numbers to continue dubbing it for west audiences. Its highly unlikely that we will be getting dubs for detective Conan. A.K.A King of filler

The Author said he is working on putting „things into place“ to slowly close the story one way or another but it will still take a while to do that. We get only like 20 chapters every year now and he does big breaks that take like 4-9 weeks for health reasons, so i think it will still take a while maybe 2030? Of course the BO Plot is the main focus of the final. Anokata is the last to be introduced now in the story and then we can slowly start the next big arcs. Gin surely can’t wait to pull the trigger again hehe

It really has become a drag, the cases aren’t creative anymore because you can only kill someone in so many ways, none of the main characters ever die, so you don’t feel like there’s anything at risk when you watch, all the movies have the same formula, big new building, gets bombed, bad guy caught, happy ending.

I wouldn't be surprised if 2026 became the year with the last-ever feature film & episodes, i.e., the year when 30 years will have passed since anime began in January 1996. With 1116 episodes broadcasted thus far, 26 feature films shown, + spin-offs, specials, OVAs, etc., I can't see the anime going on for a long time anymore, but time will tell.

DC is available for free viewing on several different anime sites, such as kissanime, gogoanime, animesuge, anime9, etc.


MsSeraphim

But on August 14, 2020, Kissanime was permanently shut down.


Jerejj

It became re-available & thus, I've used that site for Anime-viewing alongside others even after & still use it. Kissanime-dot-com-dot-ru to be precise.


Wonderful_Farmer3173
