Eiichiro Oda, creator of One Piece, is part of the jury and he knows what he wants to see in a new manga.
When asked about his role as a judge, Eiichiro Oda knows what he is looking for. If the story you want to draw is similar to something that is already popular, find something else to draw. I prefer to read a manga that is bad but that only you can draw, more than something good but similar to the work of another artist. Just try it! »He explained quite clearly. In other words, it encourages all artists to draw stories that have nothing similar on the market as Oda himself did at the time. Even so, the creator of One Piece recognized the reason why he became a cartoonist inspired by Dragon Ball, a benchmark.
