The artist responsible for Saitama has taken a crack at the future King of the Pirates.
It's no secret that countless manga artists are big fans of some of their"competitors" in the manga game, often praising old and new series circulating worldwide. There can even be friendly rivalries as Bleach's Tite Kubo has had a friendly fued with none other than One Piece 's Eiichiro Oda during their friendship's history. In a new released piece of art, Eiichiro Oda's Monkey D.
So how did this anime crossover come about? Recently, Oda had shared a new take on a classic anime villain from the series, Eyeshield 21. If you're unfamiliar with Eyeshield 21, it's a sports anime that focuses on North American football, a sport that isn't as well covered as many others in the anime world such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, and boxing. Long before Saitama hit the ground floor running, Murata was the artist on Eyeshield 21's manga that ran from 2002 to 2009.
One Piece ManAlongside Monkey D. Luffy stands the star of Eyeshield 21, Sena Kobayakawa, as Yusuke decided to bring them together for a rare crossover. While Luffy has met the Z-Fighter during a wild anime crossover event, he has yet to come face-to-face with the"hero for fun" himself. Considering how popular both One Piece and One-Punch Man remain, it is a possibility that the two might one day join forces or even engage in a fight for the ages.
