“Who is stronger? Goku or Luffy?”- this debate is so fatal that it has claimed the mental peace of otakus for years. But as a diehard fan of Dragon Ball and One Piece, did you know that Goku and Luffy are actually on friendly terms?
If you had no idea then welcome to the collaboration special episode of Toriko where the main protagonists of One Piece and Dragon Ball were invited to join in the fun. In this hilarious episode, the heroes participated in an invigorating event to determine the strongest.
However, fans pointed out some anomalies in the collaboration project, which hugely impacted Goku’s stats.

Note: This article was written by Jameel Raeburn. What’s the ideal starter anime? It’s the question for every anime enthusiast who is recommending a series, or an exploratory watcher curious to dive into the world of anime for the first time. However, there’s no clear answer. While anime is thankfully more accessible than it’s ever been, there are so many characters, plots, genres and themes that you might feel overwhelmed at first glance. You may turn to friends to hopefully nudge you in the right direction, but you can get thirty conflicting answers from thirty different people. The idea of what’s the perfect starter anime has been hotly debated online. In an interview with Michael B. Jordan , the actor revealed his five anime recommendations for those who haven’t watched it before. “ One Piece , Dragon Ball , Naruto , Bleach , and Hunter x Hunter ” were his responses.

The animation of One Piece has significantly grown since the time skip. Earlier, the series was mostly known for its characters and storyline, but for the past few years, the series has worked extensively on its animation, which has resulted in the anime series producing some great moments for One Piece fans.
Zoro vs. King
The prime example of this is the Zoro vs. King fight during the Wano arc. The fight was animated by Katsumi Ishizuka, one of the biggest animators in the anime industry. Ishizuka has worked on a bunch of anime series, but he is most known for animating major One Piece fights like Zoro vs. King, Law vs. Blackbeard, Luffy vs. Crocodile, Luffy vs. Lucci (first), and many more.
However, the animator has hinted at another upcoming major fight in the One Piece anime. The fight is between Monkey D. Garp and Aokiji Kuzan, the tenth...

Emperors of the Sea, or Yonko in the One Piece universe, are the strongest pirates who rule the seas. When the series started, the four Emperors who were introduced were Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks. Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Kaido were previously part of the same crew, with their captain being Rocks D. Xebec. Shanks was a part of Gol D. Roger’s crew.
The Yonkos – One Piece
However, as the new pirate era started, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido were either defeated or killed by others to bring in the new age of pirates to take their place. The new and current Yonkos of the sea are Luffy, Blackbeard, and Buggy, with Shanks being the only one who has still retained his title.
The main sources of power among these emperors are either Haki techniques or Devil Fruits, which make them extremely dangerous. Among the four emperors, the strongest right now is Shanks.

The origin of Devil Fruits is unknown to the One Piece world, except for Dr. Vegapunk, who, although he may not entirely know about their origin, has quite a decent understanding of them and has given a theory about how the Devil Fruit works. When this idea was initially introduced in the story, it was widely accepted by fans because of Dr. Vegapunk’s importance as a character.
Devil Fruits – One Piece
However, one fan theory that has been making the rounds on the internet negates Dr. Vegapunk’s idea of Devil Fruit and its origins. This theory originated from a recent revelation in the chapter, and it links the Devil Fruits to the concept of souls and their struggle to pass to the afterlife in the One Piece world.
The theory postulates from the announcement that Vegapunk made in One Piece Chapter 1113. While the chapter is going to be...

The One Piece fandom has been waiting for Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, to become the King of the Pirates for over 25 years. His journey has been filled with adventure and excitement, but still, he is a long way from achieving his dream. He still has to go through a lot of challenges to even come close to his dream.

Luffy has been wanting to become the Pirate King since he was a child. He has worked hard to get close to his dream. He assembled a crew and fought some of the major antagonists of One Piece to finally become the Emperor of the Sea. Now the title of Pirate King is his next step, but it won’t be as easy because villains like Blackbeard are also trying to do the same.

The only Emperor of the Sea left from the previous era of One Piece, Red-Haired Shanks has been a mystery for One Piece fans for a long time. Even with one hand, Shanks has maintained his image as one of the strongest characters in the entire series, and he even proved it when he defeated the entire pirate crew of Eustass Kid in just a few moments.
Shanks vs Eustass Kid
However, Shanks losing his arm was not a coincidence. It was revealed in an interview that Eiichiro Oda’s editor suggested that Shanks was too strong for One Piece and it would make the story too boring, which is why Oda decided to cut his arm off when he saved Luffy from Sea King.
Initially, it did not affect the story much. Shanks still went on to become the Emperor of the Sea and retained his title as one...

Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is undoubtedly one of the biggest if not the biggest fantasy series of all times, so it doesn’t really surprise us that it’s been an inspiraton for many authors from different fields. Whether it’s other authors who have used Tolkien’s series as a basis for their own fictional worlds, or authors who have adapted Tolkiene’s stories into other media, many have been inspired by the fantasy epic and we can understand why that is, as The Lord of the Rings is a truly amazing franchise.

From the beginning, Netflix's live-action remake of One Piece was always going to face some challenges. Television and anime are very different mediums, and there is always a certain amount of artistic license when adapting the latter for the former.
Most fans would agree that the producers handled this transition quite well. The show scores 85% on the Tomatometer and has a massive 95% rating from Rt viewers. But now it faces a new challenge.
Season 2 will see the Straw Hats venture further afield
The upcoming season of the show will see the crew tackle the Alabasta Arc. This means heading out to the Grand Line, a treacherous part of the ocean filled with potential dangers.
As they discover new islands and encounter some pretty nasty pirates, Luffy and his gang will encounter many new Devil Fruit users and a wider range of Devil Fruit abilities. This may be the biggest...

One Piece has had its fair share of dark moments, even though it is listed as a comedy series. The series has been quite popular in the anime and manga world for reflecting on controversial real-world dark themes like discrimination, political corruption, slavery, dictatorship, human trafficking, etc.
Big Mom (Credit: Toei Animation)
Discussing such issues requires the series to portray them through narratives and storylines that get pretty dark but still offer a moral lesson. It is one of the reasons One Piece is considered to be one of the best anime and manga series of all time. While there are many dark plots discussed in the series, there is one that, according to many fans, went too far.
The narrative revolves around the past of the former Emperor of the Sea and the captain of the Big Mom Pirates. It was used to focus on the dangerous eating disorder that Big Mom suffered from.

Rappers like Cochise prove that's not the case, making his love for anime known to anyone who listens to his music.

Boa Hancock is one of the most powerful female characters in One Piece. She was introduced in the Amazon Lily arc, and since then, she has been an ally of Luffy and his crew. She helped Luffy reach Impel Down to save his brother Ace, and she even helped him get better after the Paramount War in the Marineford arc.
Boa Hancock – One Piece
Boa Hancock recently made an appearance in the story when Blackbeard decided to go after her Devil Fruit abilities. Many believe that she is one of the worst-written characters in the series because her role is quite short compared to her powers, which does not do justice to her character and her abilities.
However, there is a chance that Eiichiro Oda might be saving her for the final war and will bring her back to help the Straw Hat Pirates fight the World Government during the conclusion.

Of all the American streaming services, Netflix is the one that relies most heavily on international projects. Its most critically and popularly acclaimed films and series are regularly projects originating in Europe, K- and J-dramas streamed on Netflix receive high ratings on review aggregators, and, of course, the company is betting big on anime.
Japanese animation arrived on the service in 2014, when Knights of Sidonia was announced as Netflix's first 'original' anime series, followed by many other original and licensed, failed and successful projects, as well as live-action adaptations from Death Note to One Piece, and now, 10 years later, the Netflix series Delicious in Dungeon has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
On that note, the huge deal was the April 5 addition to Netflix's library of the feature-length anime film Suzume by renowned Japanese filmmaker Makoto Shinkai. The film received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike during its theatrical release,...

However, Morita once revealed in one of his interviews that he prefers anime voice acting over games because it feels more like a conversation compared to video games, where they are just normal dialogues.

Akira Toriyama’s magnum opus, Dragon Ball, has been entertaining fans for over 40 years. Over time, the series developed into a narrative that has been distributed into different sequels and spin-offs like Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and the latest addition to the franchise, the upcoming Dragon Ball Daima.
Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball
However, the death of Toriyama has left a big question for Dragon Ball fans. The question is whether or not the series will continue after the death of its creator. Dragon Ball Super was midway into its story when Toriyama passed away and the manga since then has been on an indefinite hiatus.
But this is not the only problem for Dragon Ball fans. The Dragon Ball series has been going on for so long, and along the way, it has introduced a number of great storylines and characters, but it has also left...

The live-action adaptation of the extremely popular anime, One Piece, managed to live up to the fans’ expectations, something which is quite rare these days. With just the first season out right now, the series stands at a score of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, whereas the audience score for the film is 95%. Needless to say, both fans and critics were more than pleased with the outcome of Matt Owens and Steven Maeda’s hard work.
Netflix’s One Piece
However, while everything seems to be right on point with the adaptation, it looks like fans have one complaint – the wigs. From Emily Rudd’s Nami to Chioma Umeala’s Nojiko, fans cannot begin to comprehend what went wrong with the wigs department over at Netflix and some even wonder if the streaming platform’s star series Stranger Things took up the entire budget of the streamer had for wigs.

No one knew what the future would hold for Berserk and its protagonist Guts, until a year later, Miura’s friend and manga artist Kouji Mori announced, along with Studio Gaga, that they would try to preserve Miura’s legacy by continuing Berserk without him. Although it was a tough decision, it surely worked in the favor of the series and the memory of Miura.

Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, experienced the most significant growth in his strength during the time skip. After losing his brother Ace and almost losing his crew during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Luffy decided that he and his crewmates needed to grow their strength to face the upcoming opponents.

Time Skip is one of the greatest narrative aspects used by manga creators like Eiichiro Oda and Masashi Kishimoto. Although the major role of a time skip is to fast-forward a narrative, they also tend to improve the strength and abilities of the main characters. The only problem with them is that they also increase the age of the characters.

Action shonen anime dominates the medium, for better and worse. Every big franchise eventually gets an original movie — or a dozen. "One Piece" has 15, "Dragon Ball" 24, and "Naruto" has 11.
The problem is that these mostly tend to be non canonical movies without much consequence. They are cute, fun adventures, for sure. Still, they are more concerned with providing fan service than providing substance. The best ones are those that manage to make the most out of their non canonical status and present truly experimental movies, like the best of the "One Piece" films.
Now comes "Spy x Family: Code White," a movie based on one of the most popular manga, published in Shonen Jump magazine — which makes this technically a shonen anime movie, regardless of its actual genre. The premise is simple. Loid is a spy, Yor is an assassin, and together they fake a family for convenience (and for...

Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, has blessed the anime and manga communities with his works. His creations like Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump have opened the realm of manga to a global audience that has now fallen in love with the anime and manga industry, making it one of the biggest entertainment artworks of all time.

However, Toriyama revealed in an interview that he did not plan to send the drafts of his magnum opus, Dragon Ball, to Weekly Shonen Jump. Rather, he wanted to send it to Weekly Shonen Magazine at first but, ultimately, was forced to get his work published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Toriyama’s first manga, Dr. Slump, was already a big deal in Weekly Shonen Magazine at the time.

Luffy’s journey to become the King of Pirates has taken him through several perilous journeys and the fans have always been a part of it. Everyone knows Luffy as the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika user and the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Due to the mangaka’s habit of creating mysteries, fans often make their own theories. But recently, Eiichiro Oda revealed the original design of Monkey D. Luffy and the fans were not ready for it. Like most creators, Oda sensei had initially thought of different designs for Luffy. When the initial design was published online, fans quickly noticed a major difference between the two versions.

While Berserk may not be something that has the same appeal as its fellow manga and anime series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Sailor Moon. However, there is no denying that the series has survived the test of time, establishing itself as one of the greatest manga to be ever written. Therefore, it can be proclaimed Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus has greatly contributed to pop culture, with its dark atmosphere and an outstanding antihero.
Guts in Berserk manga
While Kentaro Miura’s manga stands tall as a towering achievement in the world of manga, delving deep into the complex themes of power, philosophical concepts, and the darkness present within us all. While one might believe that the mangaka artist would have a serious source of recreation, that was not the case as he used to find joy in playing girl games when he was not crammed in his workspace.

After years of thinking Luffy had consumed Gomu Gomu no Mi, a simple Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, One Piece finally revealed in chapter 1044 that it is a Mythical Zoan fruit whose identity was disguised by the World Government.
The real identity of the Gomu Gomu no Mi is Hito Hito no Mi: Nika, which allows its user to gain the abilities of the Sun God, Nika. The legend of Nika has been passed down for generations and records of his existence are only available in ancient texts.
But after the revelation of the Sun God, fans quickly figured out that there are four other Gods, and one of them could even be in Luffy’s crew!

The sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates, Usopp, has been considered the weakest member of the Straw Hats after the Wano arc in One Piece.

Since Egghead started, he has not been able to do something major in the narrative, and one of the main reasons for this is the fact that his power level is too low compared to the future opponents that the crew is going to face. While he might get away with it during Egghead, he seriously needs to grow in terms of strength because the next arc (Elbaf village) will put a special focus on him.

If you take all the genres in anime and combine them, the result would be One Piece, which has everything one needs. From bewitching battles to very calculated and thought-out arcs, foreshadowing that knows no bounds, or Ost that is going to make you feel like you’re floating.
When we talk about One Piece, we also need to chat about Luffy, as he is the main character of the series and is on a journey to overcome obstacles and become the pirate king. Luffy has become a very popular name among the masses since his debut in anime.
