No shit Hiro plagiarized OP. Just as Kishi has done so with DBZ (G.O.A.T.)

There's no way to get around the obvious One Piece influence.

Yep FT has copied OP multiple times, for example in the current arc:

- Eternal flame + frozen city = punk hazard
- Treasure Hunter Lala who keeps saying "super" = Franky

Not to mention that the current arc has jsut started...



However Oda striked back with his current arc:
- The "fairies" hunting
- Smile factory hidden under corida coloseum = dragon graveyard
- Luffy fighting in a coloseum = GMG
- Luffy's fake name is Lucy


Some might say coincidence, but I dont think so.

Lol Oda and Hiro are not beefing.

I wouldn't even touch this topic if it was just art or aesthetics, but this is another thing.

This is a clearer version, and the anime version as well.

Copying? No. Heavy Heavy Heavy Heavy Heavy Heavy influence? Yes. Hiro Knows what sells. He has had Naruto and OP to look at for greatness and took some of the best ideas from them and added them to his manga. Some of them are so blatant like Shanks and Gildarts its pathetic. Bad ass character with red hair and facial hair loses their arm in a fight with a beast. Also the strongest in their verse.


But with that said, there is MUCH that isn't copied. The whole concept of magic. That was an original idea from Hiro. What about how they are fighting dragons? Dragons were mentioned from the first few episodes of FT. We never even seen a dragon until Punk Hazard. Hiro couldn't have copied that from OP. He also adds A LOT of fanservice in his manga as well. Why? Because he knows what sells. Thats not just for men too. I know a few girls who like to drool over Grey. Hiro was cleaver enough to make his obvious fanservice with him not so obvious and give him a backstory as to why he likes to run around naked all the time.


Basically, yes. There are a lot of elements in Fairy Tail that are also in One Piece, but not everything is. They are two complete different stories. Now if Natsu was shouting something like "I'm going to be king of the fairies" and trying to find some treasure like the One Coin or something, there could be a definite case on copying. But it's not. It is just heavily influenced, not copied.

Lmao Fairy tail is a much much better version of One piece really,

Both are chilidish and rather pointless, however FT seems to string together a better plot and much better character design then OP's garbage

Hell no, dude. The character design, yes. But One Piece's story godstomps FT's. That shouldn't even be debatable because FT's story is pretty shitty.

(Fighting Festival (Meh) - Tenrou was good though. Fairy Tail's only good arcs. Tower of Heaven was OK. I only liked Phantom Lord for Gajeel.)

Just ignore him. He is a OP hater and hasn't even seen it. He doesn't even realize his avatar and sig are just a copy of Crocodile from One Piece.

What in gods name are you talking about..

The guy in my ava and Sig is way more interesting and original then any stupid ass character that will ever exist in One Piece, which i have seen 200 episodes of and its still shit

Don't ever compare him to such garbage again :|

now that that is out of the way

I personally like the FT's story much more, as One piece is non interesting and pretty boring, not to mention its Humor is dryer then just about any anime besides DBZ
