Two proud, fierce, spiky-haired warriors face each other across a rocky chasm… but why do they both feel so strangely familiar to the other?! A battle for honour is surely about to begin!

Through Dragonball, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, Akira Toriyama had a massive influence on my childhood. I think it’s also pretty fair to say that Pokemon, and especially Lance, would not be the same without his stylistic influence on Ken Sugimori’s early work. So, for all the thrills and inspiration, both to myself and many others, thank you so much Toriyama-san, and rest in peace.

I had so much fun designing a Toriyama-style DBZ design for Lance, putting in a bit of flavour from both his Gen 1 red biker and Gen 2 pointed armour looks. The dramatic cape flourish also pulls a bit from his HGSS art pose, just for fun (and flair)

I learnt a lot picking apart and studying different Dragonball panels and colour spreads to make this crossover tribute, but perhaps the most striking thing was re-reading chunks of DBZ and realising just how good at weekly pulp adventure story pacing Toriyama was.

I already knew he had perhaps the best grasp of dynamic, crystal clear action panelling in the business, but his ability to pace out a weekly story and always have some new twist or wrinkle while maintaining a solid, driving central narrative really stood out to me this time. And that’s not even mentioning all the ad-libbing!

One of the greatest to ever do it in so very many different ways - I am sure his work will continue to inspire not just artists in our current generation, but many young artists in the future as well.

"Honey, I know you're happy to see the kids having fun. But please look at the camera, this is the fifth time we tried to take this pic." - Robin in that cover probably.

“Dear, I know you’re ‘super’ proud of Usopp, but please focus to the front. We might need your power there.” - Robin in that cover maybe too.

Does Oda hinting in colour spread? (7 deadly sins parody)

I am not sure if Oda is giving a hint or not but first thing is saw in the colour spread is 7 deadly sins

In the colour spread there are 7 character using armor including chopper, similar to 7 deadly sins.

In 7 deadly sins team, all of them are using armor except Elizabeth and Hawk. Elizabeth nor Hawk is not one of 7 deadly sins but their friend. Elizabeth is reincarnation Meliodas’ lovers(she reincarnated so many times and meliodas is immortal) while Hawk is Meliodas’ friend or pet in his shop.

Does it ring a bell when i said pet? Here is my assumption: •Chopper resembles Hawk because they both sometimes mistaken as a pet •Usopp resembles Gawther because of the bow •Franky resembles Diane becaue they both giant •Robin resembles Merlin because they have same mysterious aura •Brook resembles Ban since both of them are immortal(ban can heal from any injuries) •Zoro resembles Escanor because they have the strongest arm power(after captain) •Sanji resembles King(?) because Sanji holding flag like spear(?) •Luffy resembles Meliodas because they are both captain(?) •Nami resembles Elizabeth since Nami did not use any armor(?)

Then does Oda purposely remove armor from Luffy and put it on Chopper(crewmate) to hint a King, a Queen and their soldier 😉?
