he is the #1 mangaka by the popularity of the work. One Piece sales even crossed Batman's. He will be the number #1 for decades in the future too. But by influence on fellow mangakas, he will be in the top probably in the third spot only after the legends Tezuka and Toriyama.

In the end public acceptance matter as artist.
There are many great manga but not popular never become successful in sells .

It's the same argument as commercial cinema vs art cinema.
Movies like marvals earn billions , and some good quality movies couldnt earn more than millions..

On topic for me yes...Given his achievements and his work is also good (nothing is perfect)

Easily.His work ethic is second to none.He is so invested in the series for so many years that it's just absurd.His art is great when he decides to draw well, his foreshadowing and worldbuilding ability is insane.
It's not about the One Piece being Top 3 mangas which just can't be the case when the man writing the story sleeps like 4 hours a day for the last 20 years, but I don't see how Oda is inferior to other mangakas.

Tezuka

All easily 100% better than Oda, like lightyears ahead imo. Then you have people like Toriyama who, while I am not their biggest fan, I still think are better than Oda. Oda is like, top 15 at best

Some prefer world building, some the characters, some the art styles, and so on. There are many aspects you can take into account.

For myself, I rate world building much higher than anything else. For sure all (or most) aspects have to be at least 'good' if you wanna like something. I love to learn lore and more abt the world, even more than following the Protagonists.

That said Oda is imo not only the best Mangaka, he's my favourite creator of any kind of art.
Also Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter, these will be my all time favourites bc of beautiful worldbuilding.
But Oda's One Piece is simply above them, his world building is like from another world and I love it.

Togashi is in no way a better mangaka than Oda.His art is low-quality and lazy and he doesn't have a remotely comparable amount of work ethic.Oda has devoted his entire life to his story.
It’s clear that Togashi had no clue how to end HXH, so he just opted to stop writing it and quit while he’s ahead

If only DBS quality was as spectacular as Z :josad:
I still can’t believe that they actually went with some random fodder wishing (from some random dragon balls weaker than Shenron’s) to become stronger than UI Goku, and the wish actually succeeded :suresure:

Worst writing ever
