Gear 5 Luffy causes excitement among Dragon Ball And One piece Fans
Although both One piece And Dragon Ball are legendary series, fans have always compared the two to find out which is better. While One piece has better manga sales and a successful live-action adaptation, Dragon Ball has a better reach with a worldwide audience and a larger fan base. Comparing the two series would only lead to arguments among fans.
And that is exactly what happened when the One piece Premier Show news was shared on X. Dragon Ball Fans began trolling the show’s animation, pointing out that Akira Toriyama’s masterpiece is more iconic than One piece.
Even One piece Fans retaliated with shouts Dragon Ball because despite 40 years in the business there is no proper film adaptation.

Dragon Ball is literally more iconic, stop trolling, maybe one day in the future when it has made its way around the world like DB OP has, it could be more iconic, who knows

No, Dragon Ball is on a much higher level as a global franchise, One Piece’s competition is probably Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball is still above all that

So good live action = most iconic????
Dragon Ball is clearly the more iconic type, no question

Dragon Ball is the original for a reason. It’s the anime that started it all. All the popularity of anime was made possible by Dragon Ball. You have to respect your elders
