Dragon Ball, One Piece, and UNREAL Creativity 

R.I.P Toriyama

Great video concept, made me more interested in checking one piece out

I love one piece. It's my favorite shonen anime but not my favorite anime. I agree generally with your points, Oda is a brilliant writer and generally he will always come back to a character or concept he put in. Over all I'd say that Oda is more creative. His power system, world building, and general characterization is all better than Toriyama's. While Toriyama may have popularized many things, that doesn't mean he's the most creative. Still I love Dragon Ball and some other Toriyama works as well

The one piece is the eight star dragon ball. I'd laugh if I saw that too 😂

rip to the biggest of bros

u a hidden gem fr

So, in the end, you really didn't say that much ;) Just that you like both anime. For me, time has a lot of influence on anime and writing. Toriyama-san started his writing in 84, while Oda-san has begun in 97. Oda-san has grown up with Dragon Ball, while Toriyama-san has grown up with manga from the 70's. The whole manga scene kept evolving through each period and beyond. Dragon Ball Z and Super are therefore two different beasts, even though they are both Dragon Ball. My ideas on both anime is that, like you, I love them both, each for what it is. But I never compare them in the vacuum of only DBZ and 1P. I campare them together with Naruto and Bleach (the rest of the big three), plus for me Fairy Tail (I did not see Gintama, HxH and Inuyasha, but they far in the same caragory). In my opinion, Toriyama was one of the first, and by far the most well known, to start the Shounen protagonist trope: The main hero that has unlimited stamina and growth possibilities. Naruto, Ichigo, Natsu etc follow that blueprint very well. Toriyama also was the one that made famous the Shounen sidecharacter trope: All the cool characters that first were far more powerful adversaries of the protagonist, then become his friends and aren't able to keep up with the hero and a handful characters that the hero need to compete with. A few examples. In DB: Tien, Yamcha, Piccolo, Krillin, etc. In Naruto: Chouji, Neji, Kakashi, Lee, Gaara, etc. In Bleach: Chadou, Inoue, all the captains and lieutenants, all the arrancar, etc. And this is where Oda-san hugely and most importantly differentiates from the rest. Luffy looks to be falling in the same main hero trope when you start watching/reading One Piece, but very quickly starts to show things are very different in this manga. Firstly, this world he is living in is full of hardcore people that Luffy after 1000 episodes still has a hard time beating, if he is able to defeat them at all. And those hardcore people have friends and organisations of themselves that Luffy has NO way of defeating at all on his own. But Luffy isn't fighting alone, like Goku, Naruto and Ichigo does. Luffy has nakama, nakama he needs REALLY hard to survive his world. Nakama that one way or another are as strong or even stronger than him. And all that together brings out what is Oda-san's unique thing and by far my favorite thing of One Piece: where other mangaka keep 10% of their characters an important part of the story and let the other 90% catch dust, in One Piece 90% of the characters stay relevant and only 10% might not be able to do somthing after their arc, but then even for good reasons. Even from when Luffy is a child, he has made contact with people and he has a pure heart that can't be betrayed. But he is not a person that can exist on himself. He is an idiot without a sense of direction and any clue what he really must do. He needs people to point him in the right direction, help him out when he makes the wrong ones, be there for him when things go wrong, just like regular people. And because of Oda-san's superb world building and keeping all characters relevant, the world is alive to do just that for Luffy. I dare even to say that Luffy isn't even Oda's main character. Yes, you follow Luffy's crew most of the time, but what is happening all over the world with all different kinds of people is just as important for us and Oda-san. From all the different Strawhats to the rest of the Bad Generation to the Yonkou to the Marine and the Shichibukai to the Revolutionaries and all the different groups in between like all the Kingdoms Luffy has visited and helped and all the single characters from all over the world that Luffy met. And now comes the GREATEST thing of One Piece: all these characters keep being relevant to the story because behind the screens, Oda-san keeps doing things with them, making them able to help or hinder Luffy as they do their own thing. And if it is one thing I love about One Piece, it's the help from an unexpected angle and person. And just because Luffy did a thing a few hundereds of episodes ago for or against them. Oda-san's worldbuilding is not to be underestimated. If I only name a few characters and just think for yourself what they have meant for the story: Sir Crocodile, King Nefertari Cobra, Coby, Bon Clay, Teach, Oakiji. And those are just a handful of easily a 1000 characters you remember and many of them still make a difference for the whole world and for Luffy.

What is this guy talking about? It’s the general consensus that pre time skip OP is better than the post time skip. So you can’t say people cite early DB as the best parts but not OP. OP fans are delusional
