Using Shimabukuro comparisons, Oda is level 99, Shimabukuro is level 5 and Tabata is still in the egg. Pokémon feelings.. Which doesn't say much. XDUsing Shimabukuro comparisons, Oda is level 99, Shimabukuro is level 5 and Tabata is still in the egg. Pokémon feelings.. Click to expand...

SnS has nothing to do with it. Studios are just not interested for obvious reasons. See the reality. Click to expand...

He was probably just joking around/exaggerating or just being extremely humble. I do think Oda is a "higher level" but I also feel Shimabukuro is underrated at least outside of Japan. I'm surprised how many people didn't know Shimabu and were surprised to know about his relationship with Oda. I guess Toei's bad adaptation of Toriko didn't do much with pushing his series out there.If the gap was that huge then there would've been no way that they competed with each other during the early days of One Piece/Takeshi.Yeah Tabata is an egg compared to Shimabu and microbe compared to Oda.If you want a pokemon reference then Tabata is a magikarp holding an everstone.I know it doesn't. I was kinda joking but there could definitely be studios interested. It's up to the production committee/Shueisha.
