- Art style : Character designs
Kubo easily. His designs can simply be beautiful at times, the emotion, the lighting, etc. you can tell what a character feelings or intention from just shots like these:
I don't think anyone would disagree that it's Oda very easily. Oda, one man, managed to build a world with so many characters, plot lines, cultures, etc. that it makes my jaw drop that when upon reading it, it's near-perfect. My favorites are the minor details that make me realize how many connections a single character can go out for. Most recent example being Yamato giving Ace the Vivre Card. Oda didn't have to put that there, but he did and it makes me appreciate even more on how Ace meant more than just to Luffy when it came to that Vivre Card. I LOVE Oda when he does things like this.
Neither lol. But the closest is Togashi/Kubo. Loved how both Gon and Ichigo progressed as the story went on, for better or for worse in terms of how others perceived them in their story.. One Piece isn't finished yet + the Main Cast are still mostly the same and Naruto the characters got SO MUCH WORSE that it felt as if I was reading something else.
- Fights (choregraphy, etc...)
They all have different fights. Kubo is the best for pure action, Kishimoto delivers hard on is very much skilled when portraying martial arts, Oda is a god at hyping up fights, and Togashi is very intricate with his power structure which I appreciate.
- Plots (Drama, executions , etc...)
Uh, Togashi, not close lol. YYH and HxH are classics. Bleach never had a "quality" story to begin with (I believe it was always character-driven), Naruto's story got worse as it went on, and One Piece although having a better story than the previous two also suffers from typical shonen BS + the story now is weaker than pre-timeskip, at least imo.
since you guys love debating OP vs HXH or Bleach vs Naruto a lot even in spoiler threads
