Eiichiro Oda explains Monsters story in the manga In an extra panel at the end of the one-shot, Eiichiro Oda explains the reason behind the title. He explained: \u201cA dragon-slaying manga, Monsters. I kinda forced the title when I made this manga. I mean, when I drew this, I was in the mood for titles with \u2018ters\u2019 ending a lot. Something like \u2018Drifters\u2019 \u2018Southern All Stars\u2019 or \u2018Grift-ers\u2019 and \u2018Mobsters\u2019 from movies. I really wanted to have a title like that, so when I decided on the basic storyline, I thought: \u2018Ah, there will be a dragon and a bunch of strong guys. They\u2019re all like monsters. That\u2019s it: Monsters!’\u201d In the next point, he added: \u201cNow for the story. The story revolved around the fact that I simply wanted to draw something like a dragon being slayed in a double-page spread. I also wanted to draw something about a clash between a rough Samurai and a noble knight. \u201cIf I use cooking as an example, it would be something like eating a home-made samurai\u2019s miso and a medieval knight\u2019s marinade flavored by a cowboy film with a side of \u2018dragon soup\u2019 and a bottle of refreshing \u2018chivalry rose\u2019\u2026 \u2018How is your dinner?\u2019 \u2018Lovely, chef, it tastes very acrobatic.\u2019 \u2018Thanks madam.’\u201d Lastly, Oda shared that he drew the Monsters manga as a 19-year-old. \u201cI drew this when I just finished my job as an assistant to Kaidani Shinobu-sensei, and started to help Tokuhiro Masaya-sensei\u2019s \u2018Jungle no Ouja Taa-chan,’\u201d he recalled. \u201cI can never forget; I was 19 and that was during\u2026 s-summer? Eh\u2026 fall? \u2026 Spring? Hrmm? Maybe summer? G-guts? Ah, I want to eat guts hotpot.\u201d Monsters will premiere on Netflix on January 21, 2024. As per Netflix, it\u2019s official synopsis reads, \u201cA Samurai\u2019s path leads him to a waitress whose hometown was destroyed by a dragon. He doesn\u2019t want any trouble \u2013 but it finds them anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
