One PieceandNaruto’s rivalry go way back to the late 1990s. Even though the former began a couple of years beforeNaruto, they have always been considered rivals. While the two fandoms often get into heated debate sessions, their creators have always been good friends. Masashi Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda share a special relationship and are full of praise for each other.
WhenNarutoconcluded, Oda had a special message to his friend cum rival. He drew the Straw Hats inNarutoavatars. The same was seen in Kishimoto’s masterpiece when Naruto’s Hokage stone face had the Straw Hats Jolly Roger drawn on it. Apart from the manga reference, Kishimoto also drew one of the popularOne Piececharacters for a cell phone application.
Masashi Kishimoto’s Roronoa Zoro Had Everyone Excited
Roronoa Zoro is one of the most popular characters inOne Piece. He is Monkey D. Luffy’s first mate and is a specialized swordsman. Throughout the last 25 years, he has defeated multiple strong foes and is one of the monster trio. Roronoa Zoro is Eiichiro Oda’s creation, but the fans found thatMasashi Kishimotoalso drew Zoro for a popular cell phone application. Line is a popular messaging app that is extensively used in Japan.
There are multiple sticker options in the app, along with many anime characters. One of the stickers happens to beRoronoa Zoro, and there are various types of Zoro stickers. The exciting thing about those stickers is that it was designed by the Naruto creator. People could not believe how accurate the character looked to the original design. Kishimoto’s art style perfectly fits the swordsman and shows how well-versed the mangaka is with his rival’s magnum opus.
According to the fans, Zoro stickers had a certain charm to it. It is a rare incident to see both the fandoms appreciating the collaboration. Even though it is just a panel of stickers, the Naruto creator did leave his signature mark of focusing multiple stickers on Zoro’s eyes. The fans hilariously called out that Kishimoto has a thing for eyes and if possible, would have added a dojutsu to his left eye. Nonetheless, such collaborations prove how close Masashi Kishimoto andEiichiro Odaare.
Fans React To Masashi Kishimoto’s Zoro Stickers
Masashi Kishimoto is one of the best manga artists the anime industry has ever experienced. Naruto has massive popularity overseas, and his drawing Roronoa Zoro had both fandoms excited. Anyone can have access to those stickers from 120 Yen. Everyone appreciated Kishimoto’s efforts and commented on how realistic it looked. On Reddit, they shared their opinions about the unique collaboration.
With Kishimoto having drawn aOne Piececharacter, the fans want Oda to draw aNarutocharacter. If they had known earlier, Line could have made a bunch of profit from it. Both the manga artists could have drawn multiple characters, and Line being an international app, people from worldwide would have bought the stickers.
One PieceandNarutois currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
