We all know Oda-sensei worships Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball.
Ever notice how similar Luffy's personality/attitudes are to Goku's?
And Zoro acts like Vegeta a lot.
Heck, Usopp = Krillen? Well, maybe not, but what are your thoughts?
What other similarities are there between OP and DB(Z)?
I've always thought that Zoro acts more like Piccolo, myself. Jyabura is very much like Tao Pai Pai, and Sogeking is a lot like Saiyaman - both have the major superhero stereotypes and such. Usopp is kind of like a mix between Krillin and Mr. Satan, I think. But the connections are definitely there, in many ways - just like I expect that sometime in the future this conversation will be had about One Piece and some other new manga.
Yeah, I'm not complaining or anything. I just think it's funny.
The scene in DBZ manga where Vegerot gets turned into a piece of candy by Majin Buu and proceeds to beat the crap out of him…as candy??
That is the same kind of twisted, hilarious humour found in OP. :biggrin:
Don't doubt candy man. A chocolate covered peanut can kick ass.

I essentially agree with all of this.
Goku and Luffy are always happy, except when they kick ass, and they both LUV :wub: meat.
I think this is a topic that's been discussed a lot, but this thread seems like as good a place for it as any.
If you spoiler me, I will eat you with tater tots.
