They believe that if Akira Toriyama had put to Dragon ball the same work and effort that Eiichiro Oda has put on One piece in developing his characters and world ...
Dragon ball would be a better manga and anime?

No shit. Early Luffy is just a poor man's Goku.
Noah Rogers
He just wanted to write a funny manga, but people wanted sickass fights

Honestly hard to say, late Dragon Ball is way more popular and is easily the easiest series to recommend to anyone looking for a fun fighting action, it's easy to digest and despite the memes the action is quick to come in any given arc, there's no doubt a huge room for character improvement was missed by its simple nature but it's also its best feature.

OP was better when it was more simple, tho.

But that's where you play yourself for a fool, because OP doesn't exist - he's a boogeyman, and I've seen quite a few of them pass on.
Grayson Williams
but tell me user ... Don't you think it would have been better or interesting if I tried?
Jaxon Adams
The people who think that shit don't understand Toriyama's mindset. If Toriyama was as dedicated to DB as Oda is to OP, it would be 100 to 150 chapters shorter, because characters like Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo wouldn't make it past Namek, due to Toriyama's obsession with subverting fan expectations.

Pretty much this. I'd say (early) One Piece is better than early Dragon Ball but One Piece became such a mess later on with so many irrelevant threats and subplots, that Z wins easily by focusing on longer but fewer fights against iconic antagonists almost exclusively.

Akira is a gag manga author. His forte isn't to write elaborated stories or rich settings. Dragon Ball would be better if it kept being a gag manga with nice fights here and there.
