The reason I submitted to Shonen Jump’s newcomer award was purely because I wanted to go to ‘the place where Akira Toriyama was.’ Not once did I ever consider applying anywhere other than Jump. I didn’t make it in time for Dragon Ball, but after One Piece began (Issue 34, 1996), not long after that, Toriyama-sensei’s series Cowa! also started (Issue 48, 1997). That made me incredibly happy. To be running a series in Jump alongside Toriyama-sensei was like a dream come true.” — Eiichiro Oda
