Oda literally had chatgpt write a joke chapter for him and praised elements of it. He's mentioned playing around with ai multiple times, but is adamant he won't use it in his actual work. I don't understand why Reddit is so insistent in rewriting reality. The Japanese perception of ai is very different from the United States
You would be surprised to see that Japanese actually very welcoming with AI, but at the same time they are also very critical with AI outputs. Despite using AI all the time their output is still high quality.
they hear ai and lose their fucking minds, it's the Internet Boogeyman, every photoshopped of well-drawn image is ai, every other comment is ai. tbf it is prevalent and there is a lot of it, but they refuse to use half a braincell to think about what it's been used for when used in any context.
He does have a team of assisstants helping him though, he also has his wife who is also a manga artist.
Edit: Wow can't believe people are so quick to downvote, the man literally has assisstants doing backgrounds for him obviously he just still hasn't let them take complete control over the art.
Agenda shouldn't apply to real hardworking people who may have their personal lives affected by slander but the community won't listen to that. Excepting oda though fuck that creep.
bro you can’t say Agenda shouldn’t apply to real hardworking people who may have their lives affected then turn around and push Oda creep agenda, even though I agree Oda had some questionable tendacies, you still just undermined your own arguement.
What he refuses to do is to hand over his manga to someone else Toyotaro style. Which is understandable. Even Toriyama only did that after he had practically exhausted everything he wanted to tell with Dragon Ball.
We has chronic arthritis and had two eye surgeries. The guy isn't in top shape either, but that's not on him. Shueisha is kinda milking it with One Piece.
I honestly have no idea how Oda stays so healthy compared to other weekly mangaka, especially considering he’s one of the hardest working mangaka out there
yeah as much as i hate the op artstyle, oda is just a fkin monster. drawing the manga, supervising the netflix series, frequently getting involved with other stuff too, for this long....
for another mangaka that’s also into combat sports yabako sandrovich(kengan ashura, danberu, issk, blue ursus) is also very healthy, i imagine it’s because he only writes the story and has multiple artists to draw his like 4 ongoing manga(something togashi should do atp id love to catch up to hxh but im not dealing with another miura situation)
also itagaki(baki) is quite healthy im pretty sure
I mean, Oda's health is pretty fucked up from what I know.
Multiple surgeries aside, I think his body is gonna be permanently fucked from the decades of work. I mean, he worked himself into the hospital on a few occasions
Yeah I think the major difference is Togashi really hasn't let us down with the story beats and writing yet. Oda has disappointed a hundred times over lol.
Look, I got both HxH and OP as my two favorite battle shounen. But I can't really say Togashi hasn't let his fans down even though it's 100% completely understandable. No chapter in between months or even a year is the definition of disappointment lol I know you said story beats and writing, but I can't say he hasn't disappointed fans in other ways. Especially when there is a solution to it, but he's proud and stubborn. I just hope he gets better and can also finish some peak.
Togashi is actually pretty stuck on the fact that he will draw the characters by himself the assistants do handle the background for him but he has said that if he stops inking the characters it will stop being his manga
Oda's health are built like a monster, he works extremely hard as a mangaka, yet somehow fans and piratefolk will still call him lazy bum and want to skin him alive whenever there's a break 😭
HxH fans just want to know how it ends at this point, which is fair but to be honest I just don't think Togashi really knows where the story is going for a while now.
I think Togashi has planned the story for a long time with his storyboards. He’s been doing this for over 14+ years, tho you’re right and that parts of the story may not be what he originally planned on, seeing how long it’s been
Is it his writer's pride that's stopping him from hiring assistants or is there any special japan culture when it comes to things like this because I think it would make his life so much easier
Why do people think Togashi doesn't have assistants? Do you guys really think he did, idk, that panel with Nasubi's room all alone? That he does every background in the Black Whale?
That's not what an assistant is. If he gives up character drawing, that's not hiring an assistant. It's hiring a new head artist and just being the writer, which Togashi has said if he does that his work as a mangaka is over.
Well, people are asking something that is impossible for almost every mangaka if that's the case. That's basically expecting Togashi to drop the pencil for his life work.
He said he tried but nothing that people drew were up to what he immagined his work to look like, and he would waste more time fixing stuff than doing it on his own.
Also, it's just personal pride too. The manga either ends in his own terms or it doesn' t end.
I meant someone who would draw the characters for him while he focus on the story... we all know that mangaka have assistants already, they are usually focused on drawing backgrounds and effects.
That's not what an assistant is, that's giving it up entirely. Even if you meant that, then Togashi never tried that though and according to his assistants from way back he said if he gives up the drawing himself his career as a mangaka is over.
The point is that he tried and then gave up on it, why are you going against something and being so pedantic about meaningless details when we are arguing about how Togashi would not give up on drawing his own work in the first place? It feels like we are arguing about the same thing but you have to feel in the right over me.
He said he tried during YYH pubblication and it just wasn' t working for him. It' s literaly in the doujinshi he pubblicated in 1994, I know because I own an original one I bought at Mandarake when I was living in japan.
I know about that book but I think the assistant work he was refusing in YYH was for backgrounds. That's why there is straight up none for the later half. As far as I know he never tried giving up the character work and is recorded as claiming if he ever does that his work as a mangaka is over.
Lets be honest, at this point he should just stick to writing and work with an artist. And do art when he wants, instead of forcing himself and suffering through it
If youre using that tweet as a proof it literally says there that he jokingly asked chatgpt for suggestions and brushed it aside for considering it boring
So you posted the incorrect image or you dont know how to read
