Considering that Sabo wasn't formally introduced until Luffy's flashback ~Chapter 600...this kind of setup is insane. I can't think of an author in any medium that foreshadows to this extreme...and it's part of why I love One Piece so much. You literally can't rule out any minor plot point balooning into something much much bigger later on. It honestly feels like I'm being rewarded for following the story closely, rather than being disappointed in seeing certain plot points be forgotten or go absolutely nowhere. |
The only other writer I can think of is Martin with the Game of Thrones novels--and his started to fall apart by book four. Of course, he was following a ridiculous amount of threads so it's kind of understandable.
