This was a big deal in japan back in 2020. Why is it not added here?

inspired by the wizard of oz?
"He was also inspired by The Wizard of Oz, claiming not to endure stories where the reward of adventure is the adventure itself, opting for a story where travel is important, but even more important is the goal.[5]"

Source says "Akashiya also asked Oda about the goal of the main characters in the story, the titular "One Piece" treasure. Akashiya asked if the treasure was "family bonds," and Oda replied, "No, I hate that kind of thing." Oda elaborated, saying, "That's like the ending of The Wizard of Oz, which I watched when I was a kid. Adventuring that long, and having the adventure itself be the treasure, is really dissatisfying. Those kinds of stories are impossible. It feels like, 'I've gone on this long adventure, so give me the treasure!'""

I'm not sure this counts as 'being inspired by', even if we included being inspired to do the opposite out of spite---it seems more like Oda brought up the Wizard of Oz as an example because of the interviewer's question. He certainly does not clearly state that he was inspired to make the treasure at the end of the journey more important than the journey itself because of The Wizard of Oz or as a result of his childhood frustration with it. (The article right now also seems a bit misleading about the story of The Wizard of Oz, lol.)

Not sure if I think this can be edited into something relevant, informative, and correct; or if it should be completely removed from the article. Suggestions? Butter no parsnips (talk) 04:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I reworded and moved the sentence to the conclusion section to make it more accurate to what the source actually says. Thanks for pointing this out. Xexerss (talk) 04:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
