Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It is no secret that One Piece's creator, Eiichiro Oda, is a huge fan of Dragon Ball and his strange compliment to Toriyama during an old interview perfectly sums up just how much Oda admires Toriyama and his art. Oda has always looked up to Toriyama and an interview between the two in the One Piece Artbook proves just how much Dragon Ball has influenced Oda.

Oda even claims that hands and armpits were all he drew after reading the two scenes for the first time. Oda's admiration for Toriyama is all but apparent, so much so that it even seems to catch Toriyama off-guard. That said, Oda could not be more right about Toriyama's attention to detail and anatomy, as it is these seemingly trivial details that made Dragon Ball as influential as it is.

That said, it is all but clear from Oda's ability to quote specific scenes that Oda read Dragon Ball with passion and Toriyama's art inspired him greatly and likely even shaped One Piece as fans know it today. Despite his simple style and character designs, Toriyama paid attention to something as little as the contour of a character's armpit, giving his charming designs just a touch of reality.
