There isn’t a historical consensus around which Shakespeare play was written first, or when exactly it would’ve been written, but the furthest back I can find anyone claiming is 1588 for Titus Andronicus. Since Shakespeare died in 1616, that would make his writing career 28 years long, at the longest.
The fist chapter of One Piece was published on July 22nd, 1997. That means the Manga is currently 28 years old, turning 29 in 2026. So yeah, Shakespeare could never have written One Piece, because One Piece has taken longer to write than Shakespeare was alive and actively writing.
Eiichiro Oda could write A Midsummer Night's Dream but Shakespeare could never write One Piece.
So, this got me curious;

Shakespeare didn’t have the equivalent of slop-loving weaboos in his day and an industry happy to force feed it through their eye sockets either.
If Shakespeare fans could read this, they'd be very upset

This post is bait for the bcj posters who want to talk about anime. Im writing all of your guys names down and never forgetting a single one
In your death note?
Light was such a dumb fuck how do you get caught with a tool like that
Someone's highschool english teacher told them manga doesn't count as a book.
Shakespeare could never write the toothbrush scene. He would simply be too afraid/cowardly
This is true because the filthy Elizabethans didn't even have toothbrushes.
Shakespeare should add more ironic pedophilia if he wants his writing to be recognized as masterpiece
I’ve seen what anime series have been popular. They weren’t “ironic” about their pedophilia.

Incredible! Shakespeare could never.
How could you make a list like this? Top 10? That makes no sense, unless every spot is Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Shakespeare could never write something like Zetsuen no Tempest
Is that the fuckin babadook?
I don't know who this Sakespeare is, but it's cool that I now know that he's not worth reading.
Fujimoto could write Hamlet but Shakespeare could NEVER write Fire Punch
The Tempest, but Miranda looks 12 but is actually 9000 years old.
JK that'd still suck balls
Well, both give me a headache.
Ok, I get it cringe but the pic is from Ping Pong the Animation it is only 12 episodes and it is so good. If you like anime you should watch it.
Fr, best anime oat imo.
Excuse me?
Mostly because he couldn't speak japanese
Anime fans continue to baffle the rest of the world
Jesus fucking Christ. Normalize bullying again...
