This statement has sparked a debate among fans of both One Piece and Dragon Ball, with some arguing that it is a sign of Oda’s brilliance and others arguing that it is a sign of his arrogance.
So, what does Torishima’s statement really mean? And what does it say about the difference between One Piece and Dragon Ball? Will it give an edge to Dragon Ball in the battle of Dragon Ball vs One Piece?
Dragon Ball vs One Piece
Oda is known for his meticulous planning and attention to detail. He has said that he has the entire story of One Piece mapped out in advance, and he is known to often scrap entire chapters if he is not satisfied with them.
This level of control over his work has led to some critics accusing Oda of being a perfectionist or even a control freak. However, Oda’s fans argue that his vision is what makes One Piece so special. This is also reflected in the recent One Piece live-action series. Oda is said to have full control of the progression of the series.
I don't know anything about Manga, but it seems the One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda took full editorial control of the Netflix series, and it shone through. Absolutely no cringe politics stuffed into it. Its an artistic success.

Dragon Ball is a manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. Toriyama has said that he was not originally interested in creating a long-running series. However, he was persuaded to continue Dragon Ball by his editor, Kazuhiko Torishima.
Torishima played a key role in the development of Dragon Ball. He often suggested ideas to Toriyama and helped to shape the story. The two men had a close working relationship, and Torishima is credited with helping to make Dragon Ball one of the most successful manga series of all time.
Different Approaches: Dragon Ball vs One Piece
The difference in approach between Oda and Toriyama is reflected in their respective editors. Oda has said that his editors are afraid to disagree with him, while Torishima was not afraid to challenge Toriyama’s ideas.
This difference in approach has both pros and cons. On the one hand, Oda’s total control over his work allows him to create a vision that is entirely his own. On the other hand, it is possible that Oda’s editors could have helped to improve the story by suggesting different ideas or challenging his assumptions.
In the case of Dragon Ball, Torishima’s willingness to disagree with Toriyama helped to make the series more coherent and well-structured. However, it is also possible that Torishima’s interference stifled Toriyama’s creativity to some extent.
Oda (2018): I'll put and end to OP when the time has come no matter what Shusieha asks me to prolong the series. It totally depends on my own desicion.💪
*Dragon Ball and Yu Yu Hakusyo were prolonged contrary to the authors' intention. Torishima, former DB editor regretted it.— sandman (@sandman_AP) March 21, 2023
Which is better Dragon Ball vs One Piece?
It is worth noting that One Piece and Dragon Ball are very different manga series in terms of tone and genre. One Piece is a more lighthearted and comedic series, while Dragon Ball is a more serious and action-packed series. There is no doubt that both these mangas are excellent in their own right.

This difference in tone is reflected in the relationship between the creators and their editors. Oda’s editors are more likely to let him have his way, while Toriyama’s editor is more likely to challenge him. The battle between Dragon Ball vs One Piece will be a long one yet.
