We asked an AI to predict the ending of One Piece manga and the response defied all expectations

One Piece is one of the longest and most intricate stories one can come across in this day and age. This is a manga and anime series that has been going on for decades. Mangaka Eiichiro Oda has not only done a phenomenal job with the storytelling but also with creating a world in which each character is unique and has a different skill set.

If there is one topic that every One Piece fan has discussed about, it is the conclusion of this epic saga. Oda is known for his foreshadowing, and fans have come up with various theories. However, this time, we asked Google’s Bard about its prediction of the story’s ending, and the answer was quite interesting to say the least.

Bard is an AI chatbot that was developed by Google, which was formerly based on the LaMDA family of large language models.

Final thoughts

The AI Chatbot not only provided us with what the possible events were, but also went on to explain why these events could occur. At first, the events that the AI Chatbot predicted could seem quite random. However, the predicted events were based on a variety of things that the AI Chatbot accounted for. The most important variable that determined the outcome of the show was the protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy.

Google’s Bard understood Luffy’s personality and his behavior which determined the concluding events. In this case, Bard predicted Luffy and his ragtag crew would take on the World Government and find One Piece, the treasure that every pirate seeks. Then it also tied in the leitmotif of this anime and manga series - friendship and the fight for justice. Furthermore, it also gave fans an idea of how the world would be even after the protagonist’s death. There is a possibility that the manga could end with Luffy becoming the Pirate King. In this case, Bard took a deeper dive and gave insight into the possible cause of Luffy’s death and the message that his crew would attempt to spread even after his death.

Shonen titles don’t shy away from killing the protagonist to elicit an emotional response from the audience. Bard predicts that One Piece could potentially take this route, but it firmly believes that the protagonist’s legacy and his message of friendship and hope will continue to live on for the years to come.
