Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, recently expressed his opposition to the limitation on erotic images on the One Piece Base app launched by Shueisha and Bandai Namco Entertainment in Japan. The app allows users to take a picture of themselves and have it transformed into Oda’s distinctive art style for their profile image.
Oda was disappointed to learn that not all images, particularly those with adult or hentai themes, could be converted into One Piece illustrations. Despite his initial excitement about the app, Oda felt restricted by the editing department’s decision to exclude certain types of images from the conversion process.
Although Oda acknowledged the app’s potential for fun, he believed that it could attract even more users if it allowed for a wider range of image conversions, considering the appeal of erotic content in popular media.
For those unfamiliar with One Piece, the manga follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate with the ability to stretch like rubber after eating the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit. Determined to become the king of the pirates, Luffy embarks on a journey to find the legendary treasure known as the “One Piece.”
In addition to his work on One Piece, Eiichiro Oda has inspired aspiring artists and manga enthusiasts worldwide, including author Danica Davidson. Davidson, known for her manga art instructional books and comics, collaborates with professional manga artists to create engaging and educational content for readers of all ages.
