Oy, just to clarify, I know and understand that ripoffs can happen and do exist, but I still find the comparisons dumb and the best case you could realistically make is inspiration (SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN MANY ANIME AND ALL MEDIA). Thats my piece, Thx.
If they read rave master then they would have something that Mashima 'ripped off' but, oh he created it. But seriously musica is a mix of gray and gajeel.
Never thought Fairy Tail as a ripoff of One Piece. One Piece was always more of a continuous adventure, while Fairy Tail is a series of quests in a sense.
One Piece is _supposed_ to be a continuous adventure but always gets sidetracked harder than the Pokemon anime during the filler (recent seasons aside because Pokemon actually dropped the "continuous adventures" aspect of the anime, RIP our heroes getting lost in the forest for the millionth time). Now Jojo's Stardust Crusaders on the other hand is a continuous adventure. At least until they reach Egypt...
Not in manga theme but artstyle. Earlier style of Hiro Mashima, rave master, is so close with Eiichiro Oda One Piece at that time. Now they both have clearly distinct style.
I really hate when people try SO HARD to get people to hate on fairy tail. Its like they hate it to the point of blaming anything and everything on the anime/manga.
i don't hate fairy tail, i literally watched and read the entire thing and I'm also reading the continuation of it(100-year quest), yet even after all this i still think fairy tail is trash(plot-wise and character-wise), some things like fairy tail can be enjoyable to read or watch even if they are trash, but saying they aren't trash is simply not true.
@@MrGalRoz i completed the whole anime lol. Honestly I just find it annoying how their source of power always comes from friendship. “The power of fRiEndShiP” their power scales don’t really exist either, they would literally go from fighting a super intense enemy then they magically beat them at ease without any scenes of hardcore training to get better. And the fight scenes look very unrealistic, there’s no blood 🩸 no bruises 😴 and no scratches no cuts after a fight scene to show the damage they’ve done or been through during a fight. They don’t show any of that in the anime at all.
@@mangamandrew Rave Master, Fairy Tail, and Eden's Zero. I thought you were just talking about Fairy Tail and Eden's Zero since that's where the majority of self plagiarism debates come from. I have seen plenty of people make similar comments on Fairy Tail copying Rave though. So I made the "thrice" joke since I didn't know which one you were referencing.
@@Calruxio even including rave it's one twice. Fairy tail copied rave. That's one. Edens zero copied fairy tail/rave. That's twice. There never was a thrice in any situation.
Yeah its just the surface. In fact I think Fairy Tail is the opposite of One Piece. In Fairy Tail they care about their reputation, while in One Piece they dont. For example, in the first episode of Fairy Tail Where Bora impersonated Natsu and called himself Salamender. Natsu of Fairy Tail got so mad and fought him, because he isn't a member of Fairy Tail. On the other hand, in One Piece when there was a group impersonating the Strawhats .The real Strawhats didn't give a shit because their reputation is already awful
I'm not a fairy tail fanboy but I feel like fairy tail isn't as bad as people make it out to be sure it doesn't come to the level of one piece,naruto,bleach but it still is enjoyable with the soundtrack and everything. The only thing people have against is prolly the overuse of " Power of friendship" and the rushed ending
You forgot to mention that FT ripped off the fact that the human species is divided into two sexes (How original of you Mashima), characters designs tend to have two eyes, two arms and two legs, and both worlds have blue skies... Honestly though, comparing tropes is ridiculous. It's like saying Star Wars "Rips" Gilgamesh's Epic.
Fairy Tail and One Piece are two separate anime, not ripoffs or clones or anything. Both are good and have their flaws in their own way. I highly enjoy both these anime.
I’m not a FT fan, but I’m glad you spreading the word how FT isn’t a rip-off, like sure you can see the influence, but every series has something influenced by something else.
@@casteanpreswyn7528 lol it’s well documented just google “fairy tail plagiarism” You are asking me ,like have u watched both series and found nothing copied?👀
Plus Natsu and Luffy’s goals are both different, Luffy wants to become the king of the pirates and Natsu wants to find his dad which then later on Changed to him wanting to complete the 100 year quest
Yes Luffy wants to find the one piece and become the pirate king while natsu I remember wants to find his dad and know wants to complete the 100 year quest
People who Say FT is a OP clone are the same people who clamim Black clover is a Naruto Clone despite both examples being different with only very surface level Comparisons
U do know that the clone concept for asta was inspired by Naruto right? Which the mangaka was up against a law suit because of it and more regarding similarities.
@@phlofsachin3212 Naruto and Asta fundamentally are different characters. While they share similarities such as Being underdogs and persevering, The difference between the two is that Black clover is moreso about the world recognizing Asta as the pillar he already was, whereas Naruto is about the title character growing into that pillar. The other thing with the demon, While also Similar Is also different. Kurama Is namely more of a character and plays a deeper role with Naruto than the demon does With Asta. I've read both and frankly the similarities all namely come from the fact they're both Shonen series with similar setups. Yuno and Sasuke are radically different and Black clover has grown it's own identity (on top of being much better than Naruto in my opinion but that's beside the point) PS what the fuck do you mean by Clone concept for Asta?
@Lionard Kirsch the beginning of the final sasuke vs naruto fight I agree. The latter half I just kinda went meh. Part 1 fight got me hooked all the way
One piece and Fairy tail are completely different the only one who looks like a one piece character is Gildarts and even then Gildarts has a completly different personality to Shanks
Nope, there are a lot more than just Gildarts and Shanks. Still, I don’t think FT is rip off of OP. They are both completely different. Though, there are some “rip offs,” it’s too minor to call the whole series a rip off of one piece.
Also Shanks is far from the most unique character design of One Piece. It's not that strange there are characters in other anime that are a lot like him. I was playing Xenoblade and Dunban is extremely similar to Shanks.
This whole thing really reminds me of how manga fans used to call Black Clover a MHA, Naruto, and Fairy Tail rip off during its earlier volumes, when in fact there were other elements that separated it.
And that also reminds me of popstars. When Lady Gaga started her career everyone said she is copying Madonna. Now people say Ava Max is doing that with Lady Gaga.
@Beh Reh it was at the early start that people were calling it a rip-off, just on the basis that Asta wants to become the mage-king and is always shouting for non-sense. I saw people saying that "oh it's just annoying naruto again with fairy tail's magic" like it's not what any shonen protagonist does

Fairy Tail was my first anime, and it was the only one I watched until it was over. I decided to pick up One Piece next since I always heard about how similar they were supposedly. Well, they're similar in that they both have shonen protagonist tropes... and then the similarities sorta stop there. While I've personally come to find One Piece a better written story, Fairy Tail definitely strikes gold on some aspects that One Piece avoids sort of by design. I guess overall my point is I love both series and never felt like they were too extremely similar in any way that other shonens aren't also similar.
If possible, I would like to Know the aspects that FT strikes gold on while One Piece avoid sort of by design, because I read/watched both series so far and except if this is part of the 100 years quest spin-off that I haven't yet touched, I don't think Fairy Tail handles any Shônen aspect better than One Piece and it also is very far away When it comes to depth, world Building, character development, storytelling, creativity especially during fights, art style, less plot armour and a lot lot lot less plot holes in One Piece, better arc conclusions, better backstories in One Piece. The only Thing I can think of in which Fairy Tail is Better than OP is OSTs andand music, and this is Just anime related. If You care Enough to Tell M What u think are the things that are better done in Fairy Tail than One Piece, I Will be glad to hear.from u.
@@badreddinebelabed9156 Fact 1 Even One Piece fans admit the main characters of One Piece are garbage. They’re poorly written, static, gag ridden trash that have barely any character development over 900+ chapters,which is appalling for a series this long. I’ll go over each of my problems with them: Plotffy: Where do I start. Generic shounen MC with barely any originality. He’s the spitting imagine of Roger, has a similar personality to him and even wears his hat. He’s turning more into a Goku wannabe post TS e.g. haki “blooming in extreme situations” just like zenkai. He’s just your average shounen, happy go lucky, food loving idiot Luffy has no character development in terms of progression. He’s still recklessly impulsive and makes the same dumb decisions he did pre TS. Luffy really should have matured more after Ace’s death. Luffy beating Crocodile, Lucci, Doffy, Cracker and Katakuri weren’t because he was necessarily stronger, but because the plot required he did. Oda had to either dumb down or nerf his opponents just to make his win more acceptable. Luffy Vs Katakuri was arguably the worst offender of this. Zoro: He somewhat became more serious, however his personality isn’t as balanced as it was pre TS. The struggle within his fights played a big part characterising his character and without it he’s nothing. Now he’s just a bland, one dimensional, typical badass that turned into a poor man’s Guts over the timeskip. Better yet, a more accurate description is he’s become a try hard, Mihawk clone. Nami: She started as a useful, important member of the crew. She’s rather static for the rest of the series. Most of the time she’s just an annoying, bossy, over emotional bitch that’s used as a “damsel in distress” like most female Op characters. Her boobs grew too much over the timeskip and she’s used as fanservice all the damn time. Nami post TS is basically Orihime 2.0. Usopp: Poorly written, inconsistent character. Usopp has signs of bravery nearly every arc, only for him to regress back into a bitch the next arc. His character was ruined the most because of Op’s long term storytelling. I can already imagine Oda continuing this form of development until the final arc where he conveniently stops acting like a pussy. Most of his fights are won out of comedy e.g. Perona, Sugar. Usopp is not relatable nor is he the most human out of the crew, that ship sailed the minute Oda’s dumbass had him perform superhuman feats like tanking a 4 ton bat. He’s just a pussy that hasn’t changed at all. Usopp leaving Robin to run away is still the lowest moment of his character. Sanji: The perverted (borderline sexist) love cook. These days he’s become a giant meme in the fandom, which is understandable. Sanji’s so fodder and takes so much Ls that it’s even debatable if he’s still in he monster trio, that’s how low his character has fallen. His oversensitive fanboys overhype every little feat he shows e.g. Sanji cheap shotting Bobbin and Oven and the other half of the fandom just spend their time nitpicking on his character over every little thing. Sanji has no character progression. WCI focused a lot on Sanji, but it felt like Oda was trying to recapture Robin's character arc but handled it poorly. Most of the arc shows him acting out of character e.g. mopping around, crying and acting like a bitch. You would think he would have had learnt from the events with Robin to have more faith in his crew but nope. His “I want to return to the Sunny!” was the most bootleg Robin speech ever. It lacked the same emotional build up as hers’ and just fell flat, in fact it was hilarious if anything. Back to Sanji’s character arc, after everything Sanji experienced e.g. being confronted by his past and family, his character didn’t have any meaningful development. Sanji didn’t learn or grow in any real way, his personality and morals are exactly the same because they were never properly challenged. His character is basically the same it’s been since day 1. It baffles me that most of the fanbase seem to care more about Sanji’s W/Ls and whether he’ll wear the raid suit than his lack of development, but whatever. Sanji’s character lost me when he put his own morals above saving Robin in Enies Lobby. He was cemented as trash when Oda decided to dial up his nosebleed gag to 100. His gags are by far the worst in the series. The fact it was used as a actual plot point in Fishman Island was a joke. Chopper: Objectively worst strawhat. Chopper used to be the cute, useful doctor of the crew but then Oda flanderized him after the timeskip. Now he’s just the awful mascot of the crew used to sell merchandise. His design is lame. His forms are garbage. Chopper barely uses any of his other points besides Kung fu point (terrible design) and Monster point. MP in his uncontrolled version used to be beastly, but ever since he did that stupid dance post TS it went downhill. Now it’s just laughably weak that even giant kids neg him. Also, the 3 mins time limit is a joke. What happened to arm point? Cloven style? Scanning for weaknesses with brain point? Why doesn’t he use heavy and horn points? It’s as if Chopper had better control over his df pre TS. Not to mention, Chopper is criminally underutilised (along with Robin). The only note worthy thing he did in WCI was capture Bruluee, but that wasn’t enough to redeem him. Chopper’s by far the biggest letdown post timeskip. His development is bare bones at best, just a offhand line of him not minding being a monster if it’s to help Luffy become PK. Franky: Right now all he serves is this soppy, cyborg who loves screaming “SUPERRR!!” while he does his stupid pose every 5 mins. His fight with Senor pink weren’t that good, the only decent thing to come out of it was Senor Pink’s backstory Robin: Bland and useless. Robin doesn’t talk, she doesn’t fight, she doesn’t have any real interesting character interactions with the rest of the crew, she doesn’t have that much screentime, she doesn’t have many memorable contributions each arc, Robin’s just there... Poor Robin’s only 1v1 fight is in Skypiea and besides that she’s stuck on fodder control. She isn’t even a character anymore, just a plot device. All she’s good for is reading poneglyphs and giving exposition from time to time. Brook: Probably my least favourite because he never was a character, just a walking gag. 90% of his dialogue is skull/ panty jokes or “YOHOHOHO”. His jokes aren’t funny, they got old real quick. He doesn’t have as much interesting character interactions with the rest of crew seeing as he joined so late. He’s useless in fights and they’re boring as hell since it’s just him blitzing his opponent. Brook’s got no development and barely contributed every arc (Brook getting some shine in WCI doesn’t change the fact he’s been useless for 4 straight arcs). Pointless character

@@Basiliskkk nope i just read your trash comment how dumb you comment such some of the hate for fairy tail is more toxic than MHA fandom🤮 no one fandom is pure without toxic fans
@Beh Reh euh... I read and watched Fairy Tail and It is far from being good, I Won't be hating on it cauz I was never a big fan of it, so I Don't feel the dissapointment that real Big fans felt at the end of the manga, because the Hiro Mashima went waay too far with the trash he had created near the end that he didn't even Care anymore, especially on How Acnollogia (surely wrong spelling lol) got defeated by Natsu lmao. Overall it is a shame because Fairy Tail had the potential to be great but Mashima Wasted it.
@@badreddinebelabed9156 No, think about it hard, there was a good reason why Acno was defeated. I. His body and soul was separated II. His body was bound by motion sickness. III. Not to add fairy sphere. IV. Acno was paralyzed. This was a team work kill not plot armour.
@@itzabhinav2220 It was a PLOT Armour, cauz Sickness motion was never a real weapon throughout the series, it was meant as a gag and nothing more, also Fairy Sphere was a huuuuuge plot hole and just an asspull to save FT guild members back in tenro island, and the fact that Acnologia was supposed to be immune to Magic and none of the reasons You mentioned does take his immunity away, but still he gets defeated by magic and in One single blow, he got ONE SHOTED, the main Villain of the story Got one shoted After being hyped for more than 300 chapters, and Mashima always does that ALWAYS, with Zeref, Ilene, Kagura, Jura... Etc, Fairy Tail is hated because it deserves to be hated, it is a very very bad Manga but overhyped and overrated as hell.
I'm honestly surprised there were people who actually took the "fairy tail is one piece ripoff" seriously, I always thought it was just a silly meme/joke because of the barebones surface-level similarities that never actually seem to go anywhere. Sad that this video was necessary.
In my time being a weeb my favorite anime is Fairy Tail while my favorite manga is One Piece, I've re-watched and re-read them both and I really don't get it. People just want to shit on Fairy Tail because it's "objectively bad" when that's subjective. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love One Piece and Fairy Tail almost equally (I like Fairy Tail just a little more tho) and I know of their flaws because each has loads. I think people need to stop being children and bandwagon on hating a series just because they we're inspired. Like it's so stupid it reminds me of when people say one TH-camr ripped anothers video off when on a site like TH-cam it's impossible to make a 100% original video???
I was never into FT’s manga or anime, but the word “ripoff” is wayyyy too overused nowadays. People just like using it to make themselves feel like their series is objectively superior, and the most original thing in existence.
Same with describing something as "mid", it's become something to say when an anime gets popular. It's lost it's meaning because these people circle jerk just to feel that they're cool for being ✨different✨
"Trash" or "Garbage" is also overused when talking about Manga/Anime series (and beyond) and it's frustrating. What's wrong with saying something's okay/average/decent (To them)?
It's especially the toxic naruto fans(not all naruto fans are toxic) that are always being stuff about My Hero Academia and Black Clover saying it's a ripoff but in reality its inspiration. Naruto even does this as Kishimoto himself stated that his story is inspired by Dragon Ball and Hunter x Hunter.
@@gamerninjah8508 like they don't even put their effort in the anime? Calling it a trash ? Umm that's rude! And being rude is not a common thing. Imagine ppl eat what I cooked (with time and effort in it ) and say " this tastes like trash" 👁️👄👁️. Officer! I swear I don't touch the knife it just happen🌝. Ppl say whatever tf they want without caring others feelings and when karma hits back "tHe wOrLd Is CrUeL" ✋😃
I fr don't get this whole One Piece ripoff shit. From the research i've done, i know that Mashima hasn't read Shonen Jump since his teen years, and OP started publishing 2 years before his first work, Rave Master. I don't think he even read OP based on this data. I will say that Gildarts does look like Shanks, but that's all the similarities. Their powers, the roles they play in the story, even personalities, from what i can tell is NOTHING alike. Seriously i wish people could just turn their freaking brains on and think for a nanosecond. I've done my research, so why the hell can't others do the same? Fairy Tail and OP have different themes, different plots, they're nothing alike when it comes down to it.
One thing that Fairy Tail does better than One Piece is that it allows its women to battle more frequently. Now, I'm not gonna say anything about which one does its battles better. Just that whenever a new arc appears in Fairy Tail, I can at least reasonably assume there will be a 1-on-1 fight for at least 1 girl (usually Lucy or Erza), sometimes even more (Juvia, Wendy, Cana, Mira etc.). Meanwhile, in One Piece, I have to pray constantly for at least 1 fight involving a female character, that doesn't usually end up as her being support for another main character. As mentioned in the video, Oda's characters are better, and his fights are awesome. But I just think his women are not utilized as much as they should be, at least in terms of battles.
The only comparisona between one piece and fairy tail I made are as follows; - certain characters look like other characters. I dont care. - they are both long running shounens with large fanbases. Edit - I forgot the third comparison: I love both stories, albeit for different reasons, and I love one piece more, but I love both stories.
Basically any shonen copies DBZ if it includes a Goku archetype. Shoot, even non-shonen anime have a Goku archetype. There's a ecchi romance action series called Sekirei whose female lead is a gung-ho fist fighter that's slow on the uptake, eats a ton, trains a lot, is super friendly to everyone unless they piss her off, loves fighting/training, and wants to be the strongest. Oh, and her name is a food pun/word, just like 90% of early DBZ villains.
@@HSMJose7 Yeah like in Fullmetal Alchemist where the brothers are important to Father's plan or Hunter X Hunter where Gon and Killua are placed in near death situations but get out of them with pure Nen strategy.
I hate it when people complain about plot armor because all fiction protects the main characters from dying until the end because if not the villains will win and the story would get an unhappy ending. Without plot armor the heros would not survive for very long.
(it's hard to explain for me in english) hiro machima like too much make is character taking huge damage and nearly loose to make their win more "impactful" and cool. his characters are often in situation where in other anime they could die but you know he don't want to kill his characters. at the point you were you don't buy in when he try to make some stack
though I love OP, especially the manga, people trying to use OP to shit on Fairy Tale is so stupid. Creators can have similar ideas and character designs, that doesn’t the mean the author is trying the rip off of the other, like calm down.
@@luckyjohny181 lol fairytail got a bad rep because of the tournament arc(2015),story writing quality droped compare to the previous earlier arcs , character used the power of friendship and asspulls to win certain fights thats when the anime online community declared it as a shit tier anime it wasnt the op fans lol.
Funny you should mention Osamu Tezuka, who was famous not just for his manga, but the fact that he reused certain characters in different roles across different manga like they were recurring actors for directors, just like Mashima does (even in Rave Master itself, which reused Plue from one of Mashima's earliest one-shot manga). But of course, Tezuka gets a pass while Mashima gets "self-plagiarism" videos dedicated to talking about how much he sucks rather than acknowledging the fact that other artists (more prominently visual novel authors and circles, from my experience) have done this sort of thing long before him (plus the whole "six faces" art style thing in general).
4:10 Kind of. Shanks though can have a cold heart towards those he considers enemies. For example he almost was ready to kill Ace before he learned about the connection with Luffy and he didn't even blink when one of his men just shot another pirate right in front of him. In a lot of shots with him he's actually really scary and if you didn't know any better you would think he's a villain. To me Shanks just feels much more wild. Like a pirate who knows he's strong and does not care what others think of him. While Gildard is more of a prettyboy. Not quite to the point of a prince charming but he looks like he takes much better care of his physical appearance.
What you said about one piece's anime adaptation is so right he one piece fans have suffered so long for no reason I'm glad I read the manga and only use the anime to look back on scenes I wanted to see animated like bink's sake
Honestly there are only two reasons I watch the anime at this point. First to see fights animated because apparently that’s the only thing toei knows how to do right and because I watched all the way up to wano act 1 in the anime, so I’m kinda used to the anime’s pacing.
@@Brawlnana dude if you havent read the manga especially on the colored site do yourself a favor and please do it is infinity better with infinity better pacing
nothing is perfect and if you see people say somthing is perfect just assume they are talking persenaly for them. As for what i can say about one piece that is 100% true is that nothing! not in manga or anime compares to One Piece.
@@AsecasJavi Yeah, I like the concept of Haki, but I don't like how it's executed, and how it's basically a necessity rather than something that just helps out a lot.
@@-emerald-1553 I hate that Luffy doesn't have to think outside the box anymore he just remembers his training on the island and comes up with a bullshit power up. Dressrosa is the worst offender, Zoro masters sword haji which is difficult as fuck, then every soldier sees that and says ohoooh and does the same. Also every ability is combined with haji now it's disgusting. We don't have fruits anymore they don't matter besides how the power looks
I remember how this was huge at the time when Fairy Tail was out and quite honestly I never saw why, I mean Oda is a genius in story telling and Mashima has characters your truly love but neither would plagiarise each other so to me it seemed so idiotic, what’s more neithers art styles were close to each other’s so the comparison there begins to falter right in that statement. I love both series and know them well but I’d never compare the two and say they were close in comparison.
People actually compare Fairytail and One Piece like this??? The only comparison I’ve ever seen is people saying Fairytail being boring as shit compared to One Piece.
Dude Fairy tail has 1 character that is basically a copy paste Shanks i am not joking and the character designs tries to be like one piece (Both mangakas were apparently students in the same art school or something like that)
Boring? I've seen a few things from one piece and it wasn't as hyped as it's fans make it out to be. I've honestly been bored or cringed at it just as much, if not more so, than any other shounen.
buster My guy, I’m not saying Fairytail is boring. I’m saying that’s the only comparison I’ve heard between OP and it, so can you put away your hate boner? It’s scaring the kids.
I enjoy both series for different reasons. Fairy Tail will always hold a special place in my heart. I've never watched an arc that made me more sad than Fairy Tail Zero. Downright broke me. Poor Mavis. 7 long years. One Piece gives me hype but FairyTail always gives me the lump in my throat. Cana's story is also gutwretching and super relatable.
Fairy tail is like one piece? The story, character development and environment are very different but if you think there the same then you just trying make excuses to seem like fairy tail is a really bad shit im a one piece fan and im disappointed people think that fairy tail is a rip off version of one piece
I do think Mashima was INSPIRED by oda because he has the same understanding to make sure every charachter is getting something important to do. Hiro’s also pretty good at foreshadowing too but I think this makes sense because their friends but I don’t think Fairy tail’s a rip off of One Piece.
@@RedfurredPikachu technically that means Hiro Mashima was inspired by Akira Toriyama because Eichiro Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama, I think Mashima was inspired by Toriyama too because many mangaka are inspired by him Db was probably the biggest influence in anime/manga History, too many people are thinking that inspired by someone means ripoff
@@ssjkaryuusennin Actually, the biggest influence in anime\manga history would be Kinnikuman, since it was the manga were many of the Shounen tropes started, like new transformations, villains getting always bigger and biger with their plans, tourament arcs, basicall every trope in Shounen can be traced to Kinnikuman
@@victorsantos4531 that isn't the definition of influence, maybe it was the thing where all of it started but it's not even close to be as popular as Dragonball and many Mangaka said that Db was their inspiration and btw the start would probably be DC with Superman not Kinnikuman or something else like a mythology
@@ssjkaryuusennin No, I know that. and Kinnikuman was very popular in the past, what I'm saying is, Kinnikuman was the inspiration and precurssor of a lot of the thng DB used in his story, and since DB was the manga that inspired alot of mangaka today, it' probably the biggest one. But yeah, in regards to popularity and influence, DB would be the the biggest since it inspired the BIG 3 and a lot of other mangakas who were also inspired by the Big 3 and DB as well
Love both Fairy Tail and One Piece. I read the manga for both. For me it's obvious that the series aren't rip offs of one another. The only major similarity is that they both have friendship as a main theme but that's far from an exclusive to One Piece thing. But man... I really bought into the Guildarts and Shanks look alike thing. That's crazy how similar they ended up looking in the anime yet how different they looked in the manga. I just remember seeing the two anime images and though it never came to mind before then it was surprising how similar they looked.
I think one of the reasons they get compared a lot is because the similar theming the straw hats and the guild have behind them. Besides that similarities are pretty small compared to how large the series are. I think at best theirs a chance mashima wanted to make a similar series theming wise but that would just be inspiration at most and it's impossible to prove anyways it just be speculation. The only examples mashima has in the manga that I think you could even argue were imitations was Laxus/ Vivis goodbyes and the Kuma/Oracieon Seis guy designs. Both of their good byes ending with a send off where they point to the air is a bit strange. And the 2 guys both having simular strange body shapes, blocky faces, and a book in their hand. That's being said even if the first one was intentional that's one moment in over 500 chapters and one character design that's distinct enough to be considered a refference at best so he is far from a copycat and the idea that it was is probably just spread because people are to lazy/ incompetent to point out the real problems in the series.
Never knew that One Piece fans were calling Fairy tail a ripoff to this degree besides the typical claims like with Gildarts being a Shanks clone and the similar character designs of the Oracion Seis and The Shichibukai, but damn..... Smiling is considered a ripoff?
I'm super late but as far as I can tell this video is in response to a loud minority. "One Piece fans" absolutely do not call Fairy Tail a rip-off, plenty of them even like Fairy Tail as well. While I'm in total agreeance with the fact that One Piece and Fairy Tail are very different in story and art, and that Fairy Tail is a good story with its own merits, the amount of people in the comments acting like One Piece fans are rabid and obsessive is a little disheartening. I just don't like that it's hard to criticize anything anymore without creating a bandwagon of opinionated name-calling and insulting.
@@gregorypan Now that you mention it... Most examples of FT being called a OP rip off actually came from Naruto fans... But fr, OP fans like FT? That's new
@@balsamon69 Now I might be falling into my own trap of loud-minorities, but I've always felt Naruto fans tend to be more rabid when it comes to comparing their favorite Shounen series to other series. The arguments Naruto fans get into with One Piece fans despite the stories being extraordinarily different in tone, and the authors being great friends, is just ridiculous. And I remember when Black Clover was coming out, Naruto fans kept calling it a Naruto-clone just because the main character's friend/rival character is edgy like Sasuke. But, like, all it takes is reading like 20 chapters to very quickly realize that the two are in fact very good friends and only act antagonistically towards each other because they're competitive and determined. Also, you would be surprised about how many people in the OP community actually like FT, it's true that I've seen people in the community dunking on FT, but let's be real, pretty much every anime community dunks on FT. At the end of the day it's more written for slightly younger viewers than the big 3 Shounen, so anime fans love to make fun of the friendship themes, powerups, and cheesy one-liners. But as someone who watched it when I was younger, I enjoyed it a lot and I still think the setting is one of the most creative and fun settings I've seen in any anime. And on those posts of certain toxic OP fans dunking on FT, most other OP fans actually usually defend FT, which is why I felt a little put-off by the topic of this video, since I felt I usually saw OP fans being pretty supportive of FT compared to other communities. Maybe its because I only interact with the OP community on Reddit, and most of the people in that community are pretty old, so usually a bit more mature.
@@gregorypan It's a nice change of pace to hear that FT is being defended, for once. I love how a lot of people, from my experience, who dunk on FT either just say buzzwords like it's poorly written and the like with no elaboration, or just say "FT is trash" with no further elaboration, or actually bother to use arguments, the latter of which i can actually respect, especially if they have valid criticisms. But i guess that's just the Internet for ya, replace FT with literally any other anime and it's safe to say next to nothing will change. There is stuff to criticize it for, undoubtedly. Some arcs suck, some fights suck, gags can be hit or miss, and the overall stories of the arcs can get very formulaic. And yeah, early on when i started watching in i noticed that it's a lot more like... childish? For younger audiences than other shonen, hell even Rave Master, would be more appropriate. It's most noticeable with the vocal tics a lot of characters have, like the GMG pumpkin guy saying "-kabo" at the end of every sentence, or the villains having maniacal laughs. I guess people expected it to be more serious and were disappointed when the opposite turned out to be true. I think if you are to go into FT with different expectations, or none at all, you'd have a better time. P.S. i wanna elaborate on when i called it formulaic, what i mean by that is a couple of things, first is the abundance of the "Organization N" groups, like the Element 4, the Oracion Seis, Thunder Tribe, to a lesser extent, the 7 Kins of Purgatory, the 12 Spriggan Shields, i am amazed i can actually remember all of them. But, point being, is that once you figure it out, you can kinda predict how the arcs will go. Shit happens, the guild gotta fight some bad guys, defeat the bigger bad, then uncover some secret or a plot twist, relevant to said arc, like what is Jellal's connection to Erza, who is E.N.D, and what is Zeref's connection to [Spoilers]. It's not a huge problem, the arcs were still fun, but in contributes to it's formulaic nature. 2nd is a way smaller scale problem, and something that personally got on my nerves - characters don't die. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't put them into danger all the time. Oh no, Lyon jumped off the cliff with the Oracion Seis guy! Nah he's fine, obviously. Oh no! Wendy made the super weapon self-destruct and she and Charle can't move, and share a really emotional scene together. Nah they don't die, get real. There are more examples, but that's enough for me. If you don't want your characters to die, don't put them into a fatal situation all the time, it's as easy as that. It just feels cheap, like Mashima trying to pull the same April Fools prank on me for 5 days in a row, that never even worked initially.
@@balsamon69 Big agree. I actually used to be a pretty big Fairy Tail hater myself (despite loving it when I watched it) because I just got swept in the anime community hatred for it and I was still pretty young at the time. Nowadays I realize most of the criticisms I had towards it weren't necessarily untrue but were very unfair given the audience/story Fairy Tail was trying to tell. I'm a big believer that media made for younger audiences doesn't need to be dumbed down, but I also think that younger people typically tend to enjoy stories for the hype and emotional highs and less for the nuance and story/character progression. Which is why I think it's super unfair to really go hard on Fairy Tail for having a lot of silly gags and repeated plot-points when plenty of other well-known and even respected media does more or less the same thing. The Avengers franchise (the same/similar stories told over and over again but with different actors, jokes, and fight sequences), Dragonball Z (Way overpowered bad guy, Goku training arc, all his allies die/get beat, Goku comes in at the end and wins with a powerup, except that one time Gohan did something), and pretty much every isekai story created after 2015 in general. All of these are some of the most popular media in the world right now, yet all fall into more or less the same traps as Fairy Tail. So at the end of the day, I think there are better shows that are made for children/younger teenagers, such as ATLA or even One Piece (which does have some typically-Japanese sexism in it but for the most part tells a far more nuanced narrative that also provides extremely good examples regarding gender, race, and status equality), but I would still place Fairy Tail above average on the scale of good/bad media. Sure, a lot of stuff is repeated or silly, but at least the general messaging is positive, the characters are unique enough to stand on their own, and the music and world-building are amazing. (One of the reasons I got into music composition was Fairy Tail's OST) SAO gets as much flack in the anime community as Fairy Tail, and I think it along with most isekai anime actually deserves a lot of it. Not only are most if not all the criticisms very accurate, but in general the message behind the stories is very warped and pretty messed up. I'm not saying all entertainment needs to have positive messaging, but if something is clearly marketed towards younger viewers (like most isekai is), you really should consider what your story is teaching them. Kirito's extreme edginess, the general misogyny in harem stories (don't get me wrong I actually love harem stories but only the ones targeted to young adults that can make the distinction between pure entertainment trash and valuable fiction), inappropriate/extreme/needless acts to make the antagonists bad using shock factor and once again, more misogyny disguised as heroism, and characters that are literally all cardboard cutouts. If it wasn't as popular as it was, it wouldn't be that much of an issue, but as someone who also got very sucked into SAO and now highly regrets that phase of my life, I'm just glad anime like One Piece, Fairy Tail, and Naruto shaped my overall views on anime/manga. All have their respective flaws, but generally each have moments of actually intriguing storytelling, emotional impact, and all around great distinctive art. All are very different in how they approach these things, so I don't tend to like comparing them. This is already way too long, but to conclude I think criticizing something is way easier than defending something, and as the typical Shounen scene is full of younger viewers, most of them are going to trend towards bandwagoning. I fell into this trap, and as a teacher, I also watch as a lot of my students who watch anime also fall down this trap. It's really unfortunate that people can't enjoy something these days without being attacked for it. I understand and support the need for criticism, but most people don't understand the distinction between constructive criticism and ranting for the sake of clout and entertainment. As I've grown up I've watched as the people around me grow more and more cynical, even the younger generations, for no other reason than to look "woke" or fit in with the masses, even if the masses are wholly wrong or misinformed about something. It's really sad, because I know a lot of people are going to end up skipping over or avoiding things like Fairy Tail and instead watching trashy isekai anime #45. Despite its flaws, Fairy Tail shaped a lot of my career path, personality, and views on relationships. As cliche as the "power of friendship" trope is in anime, it's a by far better message than the "I can do everything by myself and everyone else is just a tool for my glory" of modern isekai/SAO.
The biggest difference is this - one series knows how to get their stories and arcs completed in a timely matter and the other doesn't know when to stop. Can you guess which is which?
I never saw it as a rip off when fairy tail first came out, sure that one guy look like shanks but I thought it was just a coincidence which does happen sometimes and I love both of these two shows equally for a real long time and I never thought badly about either of them
I'm a one piece fan, and the fact that so much people think that fairy tale is a rip off really make me pissed. Even thought Oda is a good manga writer, that doesn't mean that he invented everything.
Gildarts didn't fight achnologia for any real reason and he is a part of the main group sometimes. All we know about Shanks is that he's really cool, and he hasn't done much. They're not the same character. Until of course, Shanks starts blowing shit up.
It’s obvious, shanks wanted more screen time, so decided to be in fairy tale and get featured in one piece occasionally. So they are the same person, change my mind.
I am both a fan of Fairy Tail and One Piece. Yes, there are also other people like me. The first time I watched One Piece, I remembered Groove Adventure: Rave. And the first time I watched Fairy Tail, I remembered One Piece. Probably because of the world-building and the humor (they all pulled it off perfectly). Eichiiro Oda and Hiro Mashima are two of my favorite mangakas, not only because of their art styles (which closely resemble each other) but with how they tell their stories and make you get invested in their characters.
As of writing this I'm currently 20 episodes away from being caught up in One Piece and I've already read and watched Fairy Tail and need to catch up on the FT 100 Year Quest manga, but I love both series. Is Fairy Tail a rip off? Nope. Are there similarities? Yup. Is One Piece anime poorly executed from the source material? Yup, with several exceptions. Is Fairy Tail Anime well paced? Yes, except for Tartaros and the very end of the series. Overall, I refer back to an interview between Kishimoto (Naruto) and Horikoshi (BNHA): "any super power story will have some similarities......the the things you've read just come out in your own work, like he realizing now he drew Naruto as a kid, then young adult, then married with a kid-- and that's part of what he liked about Dragon Ball. But he never meant to imitate it." -Kishimoto While Mashima has openly said that he's a fan of One Piece, that doesn't mean he's actively ripping off Oda - he's just drawing what intrigues him. Couple that with the similar series that both of them grew up with, then you have two artists that think and draw similarly that eventually take different directions (which is reflected in their styles).
Speaking about Tartaros anime pacing, I think it was handled well, but if it were a bit longer it could be better, but my biggest problem with the anime in Tartaros Saga was the animation, it felt so low quality like they were out of budget, specially Igneel VS Acnologia, oh gosh, it loked embarassing the majority of time
The thing with the similary is that, both Oda and Mashima started the series using a more cartton and rounded style for their works, which really can give a vibe of similarity, since they're using the same art style, but with time, Mashima wnt so far away from the cartoon style it could never be called a rip-off. I remember in 2013 when Facebook was full of people saying everything was a rip-off and I was just like "Are those people dumb?"
This is almost as dumb as when people were saying that FT and Eden Zero's characters look nearly the same as if Artstyle doesn't exist or that no other artist has ever done that before. Drives me up the wall when people scapegoat FT (Or any other "Non Big 3/5" series for that matter) for BS reasons.
@@ggkg3197 Fair enough. He also did something similar with Jellal and Sieghart, a major character from Rave Master. Elsie's main pursuer Justice is also a part of this, but we've only seen him in 1 chapter briefly so whether or not he has more similarities beyond the look of his ether gear isn't known yet.
._. did they forget fairy tail and eden's zero are both by the same guy but i think he's trying to make a manga with similar characters but different plots? as far as ive read eden's zero it has a different plot sure, they have similarities but at the same time theyre both _different_
I love when you say “[Manga Artist] owns the rights to long black hair” because apparently no one really thinks about how stupid it is to claim that a certain trait is “copied” when in actuality it is a commonly used thing. It’s basically like saying “OH NO BUCKY FROM THE AVENGERS IS BEING RIPPED OFF BY SHIRO FROM VOLTRON BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE A SIMILAR MECHANICAL ARM!!1!!”
I like both , but. I hate when one piece fan boys harass Fairytail like saying “fairytail isn’t “a real” anime “. if this the anime fandom then it needs to burn to the ground
Ricardo Silva long hair has now been copyrighted by Akira Toriama, nobody else is allowed to use long-hair in their stories other than him, otherwise it’s a glorified RIP-OFF.
Yes, that's what he meant by both being inspired by Akira Toriyama. Both of them are clearly inspired by the themes and settings he used. By this I mean the combination of fantastical settings inspired by foreign mythologies found in the Shounen work of Osamu Tezuka, with the more Ecchi elements introduced when Go Nagai invented that genre.
I’m a huge One Piece fan. I agree with you 100% that the pacing in the anime has gotten bad. I stopped watching the anime after Punk Hazard and have exclusively read the series while occasionally coming back to see adapted highlights. I do disagree on the music though. I love the soundtrack. Lol
I agree with most of ur points except the OST. One piece OST smacked fairy tail OST and the fact that u said some people might not like that OST angers me idk why 💀💀💀 who in their right head would hate such a hyped OST (and btw u kinda exaggerated the "play this all the time" no it kinda didn't but aight)
I don't know. I find myself listening to fairy tails ost a whole lot more and don't really find a lot of one piece's to be all that good. This is coming from someone who likes one piece eons more than I liked fairy tail but if I had my way i'd probably replace the one piece anime soundtrack with the pirate warriors soundtrack lol.
What he means is that Fairy Tail has more Iconic tracks. I am a fan of both series, and I have to agree with him, I only know that specific OST for One Piece, however I know basically ALL the Fairy Tail OSTs.
@@Arturo1026Br idk man, one piece OST is def more iconic. Like u can spot it so easily, oh shit this from one piece. And don't worry, I watched fairy tail aswell 🤣🤣 it's just opinionated I guess
@@Arturo1026Br yeah, as I said, opinionated. I just think OST like "the very very very strongest" is too well known and good for someone who watched one piece. But fairy OST still good, don't get me wrong. But yeah, it's opinionated. Imo, one piece OST smacked fairy tail OST.
Yknow i was with you up till you said that the one piece soundtrack wasnt as good as fairy tail, one piece's soundtrack is fantastic. That song you played was called overtaken, the ones you didnt mention were mother sea, which makes me cry literally anytime i here it, the very very very strongest, desperate situation, and to the grand line. Thats not even taking into account the manifold character themes that SLAP such as zoros, sanjis, frankys, or katakuris, or the absolute bangers of in canon music like binks sake, nekomamushi, bone to be wild, and for the new world. (Thanks brook those songs are awesome)
Fairy Tail isn't a One Piece ripoff but I'm still made about you dragging it down. One Piece > Fairy Tail always and I'm saying that as a Fairy Tail fan. The story cannot be beaten.
I think the One Piece anime is getting a bit misrepresented here.. I mean sure the pacing can be pretty stretched later on.. but the osts are good.. which I disagree with you on.. the main elements and emotional parts themselves are still in the anime and are executed really well. The animation usually steps up when it needs to and is constantly improving. I am sure one day I would like a more refined version that is more friendly to new people and rewatchers.. but imo it's already pretty good as is.. (even with the pacing).
Well as a OP fan and anime wtcher, nope, they aren't. Dressrosa is the worst case of that, a lot of the emotional parts are so stretched ou and repeated so many times it becomes annoying and boring! And yeah, OP has good OSTS, but they rarely use them, they generally most use the same ones. And man, the One PIece animation in Dressorssa and Whole Cake was not good! Whole Cake looked plastic as fuck, with no depth, and Whole Cake was suposed to be a fun place but with a lot of darkness looming in it, but he colors were so saturated and plastic, with no sense of depth, Big Mom design in the aime was just goofy, not a mix between gody and creepy, just goofy, One PIece got better here in Wano, but Dressrosa and Whole Cake are like, the biggest examples of how bad the One PIece anime can be handled
@@victorsantos4531 Wait seriously? WCI was one of the better adapted arcs. As for the saturated colors, I'm pretty that was Oda's choice, cause if you've seen any work of his in color, he tends to go all out and wild
Shhhhh... 🤫 we do not talk about the One Piece anime when hyping up One Piece. (Specially after the time skip) But you have to admit One Piece's Japanese voice actors are jus fantastic!👌
Here's the difference between the two: *One Piece:* It's basically a Japanese version of _Pirates of the Caribbean._ *Fairy Tail:* It's _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ takes place in the Medieval Ages.
@@easter_god both are supposed to be just loose comparisons. I'm sure you wouldn't say Luffy and his crews adventures were EXACTLY like those in the movie. The titles are just to get you to see the base comparison. Its a joke
Shanks also does not have a crazy unique appearance. So if you want to have a strong mentor character who's middle aged they're going to look like Shanks no matter what. Someone who's old enough to have a lot of wisdom and seen a lot of the world but still young enough to be an active player and be a powerhouse. I think a character that's much more similar to Shanks is Dunban from Xenoblade. Since they are both using giant swords, they are both around the same age, they both have lost an arm, they both have passed on the signature item to the protagonist and are both still active fighters.
I actually don't like One Piece, couldn't get into the story, whereas Fairy Tail was way more interesting to me when I was watching it ! I never understood why Fairy Tail got so much hate (plus the soundtrack is awesome !)
The only character I thought looked a lot like Gildarts was Silver who is literally in the same universe. I never understood where the whole "Fairy tail is a One Piece ripp-off" came from. Some people just hate on Fairy Tail for the sake of it.
Not to mention, people like to compare Natsu to Luffy, despite the fact that their not as similar as people think. They both Lovable idiots with Spiky Hair and abilities rare to their world and who are good at fighting and big appetites. But otherwise, everything else is different. In Looks, Luffy is fit, but skinny. He wears a red no sleeve vest that's buttoned up most of the time, and blue shorts that are a little tight and go down to his knees. and he wears a Straw Hat over this Shorter, Black, Spiky Hair. Nasu is more Muscular than Luffy (especially after the Time Skip). His Hair is Pink and Longer, and their Faces look nothing alike. Luffy's arms are longer. Natsu wears a Black Vest with One Sleeve, and White Baggy Pants that go down to his Shins. Not to mention, Luffy is a Rubber man, while Natsu is a Demon who sometimes has Dragon parts. They both wear Sandals, and have spiky hair, that's it. Training and Fighting wise, Luffy and Natsu both started Training at around 7-9 years old, did Survivalist Training (Both even fought giant monkeys as children), and have a Brash Fighting Style that relies on Brute Strength, Perseverance, and Dumb Luck. But unlike Luffy, Natsu was trained in actually Martial Arts by a Goddamn Dragon, while with Luffy, it was more akin to Survivalist Training and Street Fighting with no actual guidance or anyone to teach him. Natsu has more actual combat Experience fighting off against people just as strong and even stronger (like how Guildarts would knock him into orbit sometimes), while Luffy at a similar age was only fighting off against monkeys and Regular ass Pirates with no outlandish Strength or Power Feats. Luffy's Training in Haki may have given him some Training, but nothing outlandish past Haki and basic Strength Training, and Natsu is older by a year with Luffy being 19 while Natsu is about 20+. Natsu's abilities are allot rarer than Luffy, because even though in the One Piece world, people capable of using Haki or Devil Fruit Users are supposed to be rare, you can't really go 1 arc without meeting a new Haki/Devil Fruit user, while there's only 9 Dragon Slayers in Fairy Tail (7 if you include the fact that Natsu killed Agnilogia and Ignia). Natsu also has a more Strategic approach to his fighting that include utilizing his adaptability in combat to work around his opponents Strengths, Weaknesses, and Abilities, while with Luffy, it's mostly just Brute Strength and Dumb Luck. In Powers, both characters have Enhanced Physiques like Super Strength, Speed, Durability, etc., but that's were they separate. Luffy has a rubber Body due to Eating the Gum Gum Fruit that allows him to Stretch, Extend, and Inflate his Body however he wants, and uses Haki, a Spiritual energy that gives him 3 abilities: the ability to see far or in Invisible objects as well as a Pseudo Precognition ability; The ability to cover himself in a spiritual metal that is as basically his skin and has no weight to it, but increases his Durability; and the ability to Knock out Weaker Opponents by blinking. He also has accelerated Healing. He also has 3 separate forms (maybe 4 if he has a 5th Gear) other than his base form that include accelerating his Blood-flow to increase his abilities, or inflating certain parts of his body to increase his Weight, Attack Potency, and sometimes, his abilities, and he augments them with Haki. These forms are limited to how much his body can take since some of the forms damage his body the more he uses them , or a specific Time Limit. Natsu has the ability to eat Fire to Replenish his magic and Heal his wounds or any Damage he's previously took, mold his Flames into certain appendages and control what they burn, is completely immune to fires from this plain (he has been affected by God Slyer Flames, and Flames of the Celestial Spirit World), can augment other peoples fire to his own, and can pretty much do Whatever he wants with fire, and progressed in this after he ate the Flames of Ignia in the 100 Year Quest Arc in the Manga to where he can incinerate Magic. He also has increased Senses and a Slight Healing Factor. He has quite a few forms, but only 6 of these forms are Permanent. These forms include embracing his Dragon and Demon Abilities, and Augmenting his powers with the Flames of Ignia or Lightning. All of them increase his Destructive and Attack potency and his Physical attributes, and are only limited by his Level of Magic (That, plus he can only instinctually go into Dragon Force and hasn't't completely Mastered it). Nothing is similar. Personality wise, They may be Lovable, Stupid, Combative, a little naive, and Have massive Appetites, but that's it. They may love their Friends, but Natsu's More open, and is more willing to accept others. Most of the time Luffy gets into a fight, or makes an enemy, it's because his enemy has separate views than his, like how Black Beard likes freedom, but also likes anarchy, and live with a survival of the fittest philosophy with no remorse for anyone. While Akainu is for order, but against freedom, with a need to dominate and kill anyone in his path. Natsu stays consistent, and mostly makes enemies with anyone who hurts his friends. Plus, Luffy is more of an instinctual Idiotic, while Natsu seems more like a Rational and Down-To-Earth type idiot, and is allot more relatable and realistic than Luffy. While Luffy just seems like he's in his own world all the time and seems more random most of the time. Asperations. Luffy aims to be the King of the Pirates. And Natsu doesn't have a goal. He doesn't aim to be the Wizard King, the Leader of Fairy Tail, or the most powerful in his world. He just wishes to be as strong as he needs to be to protect his friends. To live a peaceful life with his friends, Drinking, Fighting, and just having fun. Their Aspirations are nothing alike. Both are the big 5 of anime (along with Goku, Naruto, and Ichigo), but their symbolism is different. Luffy is the Symbol of Adventure and Courage, while Natsu is the Symbol if Friendship and Wonder. With Luffy, he inspires to make everyone be Courageous so that they can live life as an Adventure, while Natsu inspires everyone to make friendships to live with you and be there for you to make life easier and better. They're not the same! A better Comparison is Luffy and Goku.
I literally never understood why is everyone comparing the two. It almost Got me to the point of asking in OP groups why do they think so but didnt wanna start some sort of argument
Ripoff? Nah, never thought that. Yea I always considered Fairy Tail to be Diet One Piece, but just because of similar feels between them. That wouldn't be the first time I felt two manga have similar feels. As for the anime? I dunno, I only read the manga.
100% agree , great video! Also I would like to point out that fairy tails sound track is made by the same guy that made all the Naruto soundtracks. One piece does have some banger openings and closing songs though.
I hope one day, some years after One Piece ends, a new anime adaptation will be made and, let's be real, its so far away in the future i'll probably watch it with my children of a girl i havent even met yet. And still i hope OP will get the HxH adaptation treatment, please give it to me.
Never once did I think it came anywhere near one piece feels. Just because shanks and gildarts look similar in anime ONLY. People who hate the troupe of "I'll fight and live for my family" won't like fairytale and are shallow people
If so Black Clover is huge rip off of Fairy Taill. Look at "Black Bulls" and compare it to the members of "Fairy Tail". It is impossible not to notice the rip off characters.
one piece and fairy taill are comepletely differetn stories but i always say that people who like fairy tail should read one piece because fairy tail and one piece are the same in the sense that you feel an emotional connection to the main cast, people always say the reason they love fairy tail so much is because they felt a part of the guild but people who read one piece always say they feel like they're a part of the strawhat crew. so that's why i say they're similar, not ripoffs but similar in that sense. also i recommend one piece to fairy tail fans because let's be honest the story of fairy tail is kinda all over the place but with one piece in my opinion it's alot more thought out so i can reccomend it to fairy tail fans because it gives the same feeling to a slightly lesser extent as fairy tail with a better story.
When one piece was released Luffy was considered extremely similar to Goku which was one of the reasons for it's success. It came out the same year DBZ ended and since Luffy was so similar a lot of DBZ fans migrated to One Piece.
6:05 A lot of those scene's are also incredibly generic ones. Like Usoph being injured is not really a unique thing and you can find a scene like that in pretty much every manga of reasonable length. Oda also takes a lot of inspiration from things. Like Impel Down being based on Dante's infurno, Wholecake island being based on Alice in Wonderland, Skypia having a lot of Christian and Roman influences.
Oy, just to clarify, I know and understand that ripoffs can happen and do exist, but I still find the comparisons dumb and the best case you could realistically make is inspiration (SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN MANY ANIME AND ALL MEDIA). Thats my piece, Thx.
U buggin for saying Fairy Tail's anime is better than the One Piece in every way that's funny
@@LeJoyBoy23 Yo there is this little thing called opinions dumbass.
True , One Piece is much better than Fairy Tail though.
@@LeJoyBoy23 they were talking about the quality of an adaptation and directly said that the one piece story is way better than fairy tail's, dumbass
If they read rave master then they would have something that Mashima 'ripped off' but, oh he created it. But seriously musica is a mix of gray and gajeel.
Never thought Fairy Tail as a ripoff of One Piece. One Piece was always more of a continuous adventure, while Fairy Tail is a series of quests in a sense.
Agreed
Yeah me too
One Piece is _supposed_ to be a continuous adventure but always gets sidetracked harder than the Pokemon anime during the filler (recent seasons aside because Pokemon actually dropped the "continuous adventures" aspect of the anime, RIP our heroes getting lost in the forest for the millionth time). Now Jojo's Stardust Crusaders on the other hand is a continuous adventure. At least until they reach Egypt...
One piece has bigger arcs that's all it's still shonen
AWoah ADexter no why I am getting the replies
I’m a one piece fan and I legit thought it being a “one piece ripoff” was a meme
Me too
I think it was a meme with some validity
Everything is a meme if you can put the proper spin on it ! Just like anything can be joked about if the joke is good enough.
Same
Not in manga theme but artstyle. Earlier style of Hiro Mashima, rave master, is so close with Eiichiro Oda One Piece at that time. Now they both have clearly distinct style.
I really hate when people try SO HARD to get people to hate on fairy tail. Its like they hate it to the point of blaming anything and everything on the anime/manga.
Exactly I get the hate but its becoming so much I don't understand anymote
tbh i hate when ppl say fairy tail or sao or bleach is overrated when all these anime gets the most hate out of any anime-
@@amarazaman4868 fairy tail was ass tho.
i don't hate fairy tail, i literally watched and read the entire thing and I'm also reading the continuation of it(100-year quest), yet even after all this i still think fairy tail is trash(plot-wise and character-wise), some things like fairy tail can be enjoyable to read or watch even if they are trash, but saying they aren't trash is simply not true.
@@MrGalRoz i completed the whole anime lol. Honestly I just find it annoying how their source of power always comes from friendship. “The power of fRiEndShiP” their power scales don’t really exist either, they would literally go from fighting a super intense enemy then they magically beat them at ease without any scenes of hardcore training to get better. And the fight scenes look very unrealistic, there’s no blood 🩸 no bruises 😴 and no scratches no cuts after a fight scene to show the damage they’ve done or been through during a fight. They don’t show any of that in the anime at all.
Let’s be honest. The only person that Hiro plagiarizes is Hiro: twice.
Hey...thrice if you include Rave. XD
Jokes aside, Eden's Zero is actually pretty good. It's like a shounen styled version of Kingdom Hearts.
Calruxio Did he have a series before Rave? If so, then it would be thrice.
@@mangamandrew Rave Master, Fairy Tail, and Eden's Zero. I thought you were just talking about Fairy Tail and Eden's Zero since that's where the majority of self plagiarism debates come from. I have seen plenty of people make similar comments on Fairy Tail copying Rave though. So I made the "thrice" joke since I didn't know which one you were referencing.
Calruxio okay, that’s fine. Rave and Fairy Tail have less similarities but they are still there.
@@Calruxio even including rave it's one twice. Fairy tail copied rave. That's one. Edens zero copied fairy tail/rave. That's twice. There never was a thrice in any situation.
These comparisons are dumb. People are just reaching for straws.
Missed opportunity here
"Fairy Fail is a poor man's One Piece"
@Aaron Hussey thank you for saying it
Yeah its just the surface. In fact I think Fairy Tail is the opposite of One Piece. In Fairy Tail they care about their reputation, while in One Piece they dont. For example, in the first episode of Fairy Tail Where Bora impersonated Natsu and called himself Salamender. Natsu of Fairy Tail got so mad and fought him, because he isn't a member of Fairy Tail. On the other hand, in One Piece when there was a group impersonating the Strawhats .The real Strawhats didn't give a shit because their reputation is already awful
@@sleverlight Its a manga about pirates lamo
Who the hell do you except to play fair .......
But the artwork is alot similar
fact: i watched fairy tail because of the soundtrack
Fairy Tail top 3 OST with Bleach and possibly Naruto
Along with Haikyuu it's one of my favorite soundtracks.
And for feels
I'm not a fairy tail fanboy but I feel like fairy tail isn't as bad as people make it out to be sure it doesn't come to the level of one piece,naruto,bleach but it still is enjoyable with the soundtrack and everything. The only thing people have against is prolly the overuse of " Power of friendship" and the rushed ending
That's fine.
You forgot to mention that FT ripped off the fact that the human species is divided into two sexes (How original of you Mashima), characters designs tend to have two eyes, two arms and two legs, and both worlds have blue skies...
Honestly though, comparing tropes is ridiculous. It's like saying Star Wars "Rips" Gilgamesh's Epic.
Fairy Tail and One Piece are two separate anime, not ripoffs or clones or anything. Both are good and have their flaws in their own way. I highly enjoy both these anime.
I’m not a FT fan, but I’m glad you spreading the word how FT isn’t a rip-off, like sure you can see the influence, but every series has something influenced by something else.

U do know that the clone concept for asta was inspired by Naruto right? Which the mangaka was up against a law suit because of it and more regarding similarities.
@@phlofsachin3212 Naruto and Asta fundamentally are different characters. While they share similarities such as Being underdogs and persevering, The difference between the two is that Black clover is moreso about the world recognizing Asta as the pillar he already was, whereas Naruto is about the title character growing into that pillar. The other thing with the demon, While also Similar Is also different. Kurama Is namely more of a character and plays a deeper role with Naruto than the demon does With Asta.
I've read both and frankly the similarities all namely come from the fact they're both Shonen series with similar setups. Yuno and Sasuke are radically different and Black clover has grown it's own identity (on top of being much better than Naruto in my opinion but that's beside the point)
PS what the fuck do you mean by Clone concept for Asta?

Nope, there are a lot more than just Gildarts and Shanks. Still, I don’t think FT is rip off of OP. They are both completely different. Though, there are some “rip offs,” it’s too minor to call the whole series a rip off of one piece.

Also Shanks is far from the most unique character design of One Piece. It's not that strange there are characters in other anime that are a lot like him.
I was playing Xenoblade and Dunban is extremely similar to Shanks.
@@MrMarinus18 nah, he's pretty unique.
This whole thing really reminds me of how manga fans used to call Black Clover a MHA, Naruto, and Fairy Tail rip off during its earlier volumes, when in fact there were other elements that separated it.
And that also reminds me of popstars. When Lady Gaga started her career everyone said she is copying Madonna. Now people say Ava Max is doing that with Lady Gaga.
Also, isn't the mangakas of black clover and mha good friends irl?
@Beh Reh i never said that it is. Other people called it a ripoff
@Beh Reh it was at the early start that people were calling it a rip-off, just on the basis that Asta wants to become the mage-king and is always shouting for non-sense. I saw people saying that "oh it's just annoying naruto again with fairy tail's magic" like it's not what any shonen protagonist does

Fairy Tail was my first anime, and it was the only one I watched until it was over. I decided to pick up One Piece next since I always heard about how similar they were supposedly. Well, they're similar in that they both have shonen protagonist tropes... and then the similarities sorta stop there. While I've personally come to find One Piece a better written story, Fairy Tail definitely strikes gold on some aspects that One Piece avoids sort of by design.
I guess overall my point is I love both series and never felt like they were too extremely similar in any way that other shonens aren't also similar.
Toady, you did exactly what I did...
If possible, I would like to Know the aspects that FT strikes gold on while One Piece avoid sort of by design, because I read/watched both series so far and except if this is part of the 100 years quest spin-off that I haven't yet touched, I don't think Fairy Tail handles any Shônen aspect better than One Piece and it also is very far away When it comes to depth, world Building, character development, storytelling, creativity especially during fights, art style, less plot armour and a lot lot lot less plot holes in One Piece, better arc conclusions, better backstories in One Piece.
The only Thing I can think of in which Fairy Tail is Better than OP is OSTs andand music, and this is Just anime related.
If You care Enough to Tell M What u think are the things that are better done in Fairy Tail than One Piece, I Will be glad to hear.from u.
@@badreddinebelabed9156 Fact 1
Even One Piece fans admit the main characters of One Piece are garbage. They’re poorly written, static, gag ridden trash that have barely any character development over 900+ chapters,which is appalling for a series this long. I’ll go over each of my problems with them:
Plotffy: Where do I start. Generic shounen MC with barely any originality. He’s the spitting imagine of Roger, has a similar personality to him and even wears his hat. He’s turning more into a Goku wannabe post TS e.g. haki “blooming in extreme situations” just like zenkai. He’s just your average shounen, happy go lucky, food loving idiot Luffy has no character development in terms of progression. He’s still recklessly impulsive and makes the same dumb decisions he did pre TS.
Luffy really should have matured more after Ace’s death. Luffy beating Crocodile, Lucci, Doffy, Cracker and Katakuri weren’t because he was necessarily stronger, but because the plot required he did. Oda had to either dumb down or nerf his opponents just to make his win more acceptable. Luffy Vs Katakuri was arguably the worst offender of this.
Zoro: He somewhat became more serious, however his personality isn’t as balanced as it was pre TS. The struggle within his fights played a big part characterising his character and without it he’s nothing. Now he’s just a bland, one dimensional, typical badass that turned into a poor man’s Guts over the timeskip. Better yet, a more accurate description is he’s become a try hard, Mihawk clone.
Nami: She started as a useful, important member of the crew. She’s rather static for the rest of the series. Most of the time she’s just an annoying, bossy, over emotional bitch that’s used as a “damsel in distress” like most female Op characters. Her boobs grew too much over the timeskip and she’s used as fanservice all the damn time. Nami post TS is basically Orihime 2.0.
Usopp: Poorly written, inconsistent character. Usopp has signs of bravery nearly every arc, only for him to regress back into a bitch the next arc. His character was ruined the most because of Op’s long term storytelling. I can already imagine Oda continuing this form of development until the final arc where he conveniently stops acting like a pussy.
Most of his fights are won out of comedy e.g. Perona, Sugar. Usopp is not relatable nor is he the most human out of the crew, that ship sailed the minute Oda’s dumbass had him perform superhuman feats like tanking a 4 ton bat. He’s just a pussy that hasn’t changed at all. Usopp leaving Robin to run away is still the lowest moment of his character.
Sanji: The perverted (borderline sexist) love cook. These days he’s become a giant meme in the fandom, which is understandable. Sanji’s so fodder and takes so much Ls that it’s even debatable if he’s still in he monster trio, that’s how low his character has fallen. His oversensitive fanboys overhype every little feat he shows e.g. Sanji cheap shotting Bobbin and Oven and the other half of the fandom just spend their time nitpicking on his character over every little thing.
Sanji has no character progression. WCI focused a lot on Sanji, but it felt like Oda was trying to recapture Robin's character arc but handled it poorly. Most of the arc shows him acting out of character e.g. mopping around, crying and acting like a bitch. You would think he would have had learnt from the events with Robin to have more faith in his crew but nope. His “I want to return to the Sunny!” was the most bootleg Robin speech ever.
It lacked the same emotional build up as hers’ and just fell flat, in fact it was hilarious if anything. Back to Sanji’s character arc, after everything Sanji experienced e.g. being confronted by his past and family, his character didn’t have any meaningful development. Sanji didn’t learn or grow in any real way, his personality and morals are exactly the same because they were never properly challenged. His character is basically the same it’s been since day 1.
It baffles me that most of the fanbase seem to care more about Sanji’s W/Ls and whether he’ll wear the raid suit than his lack of development, but whatever. Sanji’s character lost me when he put his own morals above saving Robin in Enies Lobby. He was cemented as trash when Oda decided to dial up his nosebleed gag to 100. His gags are by far the worst in the series. The fact it was used as a actual plot point in Fishman Island was a joke.
Chopper: Objectively worst strawhat. Chopper used to be the cute, useful doctor of the crew but then Oda flanderized him after the timeskip. Now he’s just the awful mascot of the crew used to sell merchandise. His design is lame. His forms are garbage. Chopper barely uses any of his other points besides Kung fu point (terrible design) and Monster point.
MP in his uncontrolled version used to be beastly, but ever since he did that stupid dance post TS it went downhill. Now it’s just laughably weak that even giant kids neg him. Also, the 3 mins time limit is a joke. What happened to arm point? Cloven style? Scanning for weaknesses with brain point? Why doesn’t he use heavy and horn points?
It’s as if Chopper had better control over his df pre TS. Not to mention, Chopper is criminally underutilised (along with Robin). The only note worthy thing he did in WCI was capture Bruluee, but that wasn’t enough to redeem him. Chopper’s by far the biggest letdown post timeskip. His development is bare bones at best, just a offhand line of him not minding being a monster if it’s to help Luffy become PK.
Franky: Right now all he serves is this soppy, cyborg who loves screaming “SUPERRR!!” while he does his stupid pose every 5 mins. His fight with Senor pink weren’t that good, the only decent thing to come out of it was Senor Pink’s backstory
Robin: Bland and useless. Robin doesn’t talk, she doesn’t fight, she doesn’t have any real interesting character interactions with the rest of the crew, she doesn’t have that much screentime, she doesn’t have many memorable contributions each arc, Robin’s just there... Poor Robin’s only 1v1 fight is in Skypiea and besides that she’s stuck on fodder control.
She isn’t even a character anymore, just a plot device. All she’s good for is reading poneglyphs and giving exposition from time to time.
Brook: Probably my least favourite because he never was a character, just a walking gag. 90% of his dialogue is skull/ panty jokes or “YOHOHOHO”. His jokes aren’t funny, they got old real quick. He doesn’t have as much interesting character interactions with the rest of crew seeing as he joined so late.
He’s useless in fights and they’re boring as hell since it’s just him blitzing his opponent. Brook’s got no development and barely contributed every arc (Brook getting some shine in WCI doesn’t change the fact he’s been useless for 4 straight arcs). Pointless character

I'm honestly surprised there were people who actually took the "fairy tail is one piece ripoff" seriously, I always thought it was just a silly meme/joke because of the barebones surface-level similarities that never actually seem to go anywhere. Sad that this video was necessary.
In my time being a weeb my favorite anime is Fairy Tail while my favorite manga is One Piece, I've re-watched and re-read them both and I really don't get it. People just want to shit on Fairy Tail because it's "objectively bad" when that's subjective. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love One Piece and Fairy Tail almost equally (I like Fairy Tail just a little more tho) and I know of their flaws because each has loads. I think people need to stop being children and bandwagon on hating a series just because they we're inspired.

"Trash" or "Garbage" is also overused when talking about Manga/Anime series (and beyond) and it's frustrating. What's wrong with saying something's okay/average/decent (To them)?
It's especially the toxic naruto fans(not all naruto fans are toxic) that are always being stuff about My Hero Academia and Black Clover saying it's a ripoff but in reality its inspiration.

✋😃
I fr don't get this whole One Piece ripoff shit.
From the research i've done, i know that Mashima hasn't read Shonen Jump since his teen years, and OP started publishing 2 years before his first work, Rave Master. I don't think he even read OP based on this data.
I will say that Gildarts does look like Shanks, but that's all the similarities. Their powers, the roles they play in the story, even personalities, from what i can tell is NOTHING alike.
Seriously i wish people could just turn their freaking brains on and think for a nanosecond. I've done my research, so why the hell can't others do the same?
Fairy Tail and OP have different themes, different plots, they're nothing alike when it comes down to it.
One thing that Fairy Tail does better than One Piece is that it allows its women to battle more frequently. Now, I'm not gonna say anything about which one does its battles better. Just that whenever a new arc appears in Fairy Tail, I can at least reasonably assume there will be a 1-on-1 fight for at least 1 girl (usually Lucy or Erza), sometimes even more (Juvia, Wendy, Cana, Mira etc.). Meanwhile, in One Piece, I have to pray constantly for at least 1 fight involving a female character, that doesn't usually end up as her being support for another main character. As mentioned in the video, Oda's characters are better, and his fights are awesome. But I just think his women are not utilized as much as they should be, at least in terms of battles.
Lets be real if one piece came out after fairy tail this conversation woud be very different
Duh
If-if-if
yes yes it would BUT I GUARANTEE PEOPLE WOULD STILL CALL FAIRY TAIL THE RIP OFF
Except one piece is actually good and fairy tail isn’t 😂
@@phantxmtv1322 I think… both are good but one piece is better in my humble opinion
Anyone who thinks that FT is a rip-off of OP has clearly never seen either of them.
The only comparisona between one piece and fairy tail I made are as follows;
- certain characters look like other characters. I dont care.
- they are both long running shounens with large fanbases.
Edit - I forgot the third comparison: I love both stories, albeit for different reasons, and I love one piece more, but I love both stories.

Actually that laying on ground smile was done by gohan first actually......soo they copied toriyama🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jk
Toriyama has influenced many mangaka though, and Oda has said so before I think 🤔
Dragonball is the biggest influence in anime and manga history (One piece, Naruto, bleach and many others)
Basically any shonen copies DBZ if it includes a Goku archetype. Shoot, even non-shonen anime have a Goku archetype.
There's a ecchi romance action series called Sekirei whose female lead is a gung-ho fist fighter that's slow on the uptake, eats a ton, trains a lot, is super friendly to everyone unless they piss her off, loves fighting/training, and wants to be the strongest.
Oh, and her name is a food pun/word, just like 90% of early DBZ villains.
Maybe you should express yourself more respectful
@@Ryan-pg1tw do u know. What jk means

Funny you should mention Osamu Tezuka, who was famous not just for his manga, but the fact that he reused certain characters in different roles across different manga like they were recurring actors for directors, just like Mashima does (even in Rave Master itself, which reused Plue from one of Mashima's earliest one-shot manga). But of course, Tezuka gets a pass while Mashima gets "self-plagiarism" videos dedicated to talking about how much he sucks rather than acknowledging the fact that other artists (more prominently visual novel authors and circles, from my experience) have done this sort of thing long before him (plus the whole "six faces" art style thing in general).
4:10
Kind of. Shanks though can have a cold heart towards those he considers enemies. For example he almost was ready to kill Ace before he learned about the connection with Luffy and he didn't even blink when one of his men just shot another pirate right in front of him.
In a lot of shots with him he's actually really scary and if you didn't know any better you would think he's a villain.
To me Shanks just feels much more wild. Like a pirate who knows he's strong and does not care what others think of him. While Gildard is more of a prettyboy. Not quite to the point of a prince charming but he looks like he takes much better care of his physical appearance.

People actually compare Fairytail and One Piece like this??? The only comparison I’ve ever seen is people saying Fairytail being boring as shit compared to One Piece.
Dude Fairy tail has 1 character that is basically a copy paste Shanks i am not joking and the character designs tries to be like one piece (Both mangakas were apparently students in the same art school or something like that)
@@raulrojas9253 Your name explains it
@@raulrojas9253 yeah but aside from the design, they are NOT the same character. PERIOT
Boring? I've seen a few things from one piece and it wasn't as hyped as it's fans make it out to be. I've honestly been bored or cringed at it just as much, if not more so, than any other shounen.
buster My guy, I’m not saying Fairytail is boring. I’m saying that’s the only comparison I’ve heard between OP and it, so can you put away your hate boner? It’s scaring the kids.
I'm glad I didn't see any "first" comments

That was a reply! HA!

Lmao no
I am a huge one piece fan, and all I can say is...damn man, knowing how badly the anime was truly treated, it hurts
I enjoy both series for different reasons. Fairy Tail will always hold a special place in my heart. I've never watched an arc that made me more sad than Fairy Tail Zero. Downright broke me. Poor Mavis. 7 long years. One Piece gives me hype but FairyTail always gives me the lump in my throat. Cana's story is also gutwretching and super relatable.
Fairy tail is like one piece? The story, character development and environment are very different but if you think there the same then you just trying make excuses to seem like fairy tail is a really bad shit im a one piece fan and im disappointed people think that fairy tail is a rip off version of one piece
I do think Mashima was INSPIRED by oda because he has the same understanding to make sure every charachter is getting something important to do. Hiro’s also pretty good at foreshadowing too but I think this makes sense because their friends but I don’t think Fairy tail’s a rip off of One Piece.
@@RedfurredPikachu technically that means Hiro Mashima was inspired by Akira Toriyama because Eichiro Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama, I think Mashima was inspired by Toriyama too because many mangaka are inspired by him Db was probably the biggest influence in anime/manga History, too many people are thinking that inspired by someone means ripoff
@@ssjkaryuusennin Actually, the biggest influence in anime\manga history would be Kinnikuman, since it was the manga were many of the Shounen tropes started, like new transformations, villains getting always bigger and biger with their plans, tourament arcs, basicall every trope in Shounen can be traced to Kinnikuman
@@victorsantos4531 that isn't the definition of influence, maybe it was the thing where all of it started but it's not even close to be as popular as Dragonball and many Mangaka said that Db was their inspiration and btw the start would probably be DC with Superman not Kinnikuman or something else like a mythology
@@ssjkaryuusennin No, I know that. and Kinnikuman was very popular in the past, what I'm saying is, Kinnikuman was the inspiration and precurssor of a lot of the thng DB used in his story, and since DB was the manga that inspired alot of mangaka today, it' probably the biggest one. But yeah, in regards to popularity and influence, DB would be the the biggest since it inspired the BIG 3 and a lot of other mangakas who were also inspired by the Big 3 and DB as well
I enjoyed my time with fairytale i never really thought that it was a copy they are both they're own animes
Love both Fairy Tail and One Piece. I read the manga for both. For me it's obvious that the series aren't rip offs of one another. The only major similarity is that they both have friendship as a main theme but that's far from an exclusive to One Piece thing.
But man... I really bought into the Guildarts and Shanks look alike thing. That's crazy how similar they ended up looking in the anime yet how different they looked in the manga. I just remember seeing the two anime images and though it never came to mind before then it was surprising how similar they looked.
its clear these people havent read/seen multiple shounons animes lol cuz i watch/read both and am like these are shounon tropes lol
I think one of the reasons they get compared a lot is because the similar theming the straw hats and the guild have behind them. Besides that similarities are pretty small compared to how large the series are.
I think at best theirs a chance mashima wanted to make a similar series theming wise but that would just be inspiration at most and it's impossible to prove anyways it just be speculation.
The only examples mashima has in the manga that I think you could even argue were imitations was Laxus/ Vivis goodbyes and the Kuma/Oracieon Seis guy designs. Both of their good byes ending with a send off where they point to the air is a bit strange. And the 2 guys both having simular strange body shapes, blocky faces, and a book in their hand. That's being said even if the first one was intentional that's one moment in over 500 chapters and one character design that's distinct enough to be considered a refference at best so he is far from a copycat and the idea that it was is probably just spread because people are to lazy/ incompetent to point out the real problems in the series.
Never knew that One Piece fans were calling Fairy tail a ripoff to this degree besides the typical claims like with Gildarts being a Shanks clone and the similar character designs of the Oracion Seis and The Shichibukai, but damn..... Smiling is considered a ripoff?
I'm super late but as far as I can tell this video is in response to a loud minority. "One Piece fans" absolutely do not call Fairy Tail a rip-off, plenty of them even like Fairy Tail as well. While I'm in total agreeance with the fact that One Piece and Fairy Tail are very different in story and art, and that Fairy Tail is a good story with its own merits, the amount of people in the comments acting like One Piece fans are rabid and obsessive is a little disheartening.
I just don't like that it's hard to criticize anything anymore without creating a bandwagon of opinionated name-calling and insulting.
@@gregorypan Now that you mention it...
Most examples of FT being called a OP rip off actually came from Naruto fans...
But fr, OP fans like FT? That's new
@@balsamon69 Now I might be falling into my own trap of loud-minorities, but I've always felt Naruto fans tend to be more rabid when it comes to comparing their favorite Shounen series to other series. The arguments Naruto fans get into with One Piece fans despite the stories being extraordinarily different in tone, and the authors being great friends, is just ridiculous.
And I remember when Black Clover was coming out, Naruto fans kept calling it a Naruto-clone just because the main character's friend/rival character is edgy like Sasuke. But, like, all it takes is reading like 20 chapters to very quickly realize that the two are in fact very good friends and only act antagonistically towards each other because they're competitive and determined.
Also, you would be surprised about how many people in the OP community actually like FT, it's true that I've seen people in the community dunking on FT, but let's be real, pretty much every anime community dunks on FT. At the end of the day it's more written for slightly younger viewers than the big 3 Shounen, so anime fans love to make fun of the friendship themes, powerups, and cheesy one-liners. But as someone who watched it when I was younger, I enjoyed it a lot and I still think the setting is one of the most creative and fun settings I've seen in any anime.
And on those posts of certain toxic OP fans dunking on FT, most other OP fans actually usually defend FT, which is why I felt a little put-off by the topic of this video, since I felt I usually saw OP fans being pretty supportive of FT compared to other communities. Maybe its because I only interact with the OP community on Reddit, and most of the people in that community are pretty old, so usually a bit more mature.
@@gregorypan It's a nice change of pace to hear that FT is being defended, for once.
I love how a lot of people, from my experience, who dunk on FT either just say buzzwords like it's poorly written and the like with no elaboration, or just say "FT is trash" with no further elaboration, or actually bother to use arguments, the latter of which i can actually respect, especially if they have valid criticisms. But i guess that's just the Internet for ya, replace FT with literally any other anime and it's safe to say next to nothing will change.
There is stuff to criticize it for, undoubtedly. Some arcs suck, some fights suck, gags can be hit or miss, and the overall stories of the arcs can get very formulaic.
And yeah, early on when i started watching in i noticed that it's a lot more like... childish? For younger audiences than other shonen, hell even Rave Master, would be more appropriate. It's most noticeable with the vocal tics a lot of characters have, like the GMG pumpkin guy saying "-kabo" at the end of every sentence, or the villains having maniacal laughs. I guess people expected it to be more serious and were disappointed when the opposite turned out to be true. I think if you are to go into FT with different expectations, or none at all, you'd have a better time.
P.S. i wanna elaborate on when i called it formulaic, what i mean by that is a couple of things, first is the abundance of the "Organization N" groups, like the Element 4, the Oracion Seis, Thunder Tribe, to a lesser extent, the 7 Kins of Purgatory, the 12 Spriggan Shields, i am amazed i can actually remember all of them. But, point being, is that once you figure it out, you can kinda predict how the arcs will go. Shit happens, the guild gotta fight some bad guys, defeat the bigger bad, then uncover some secret or a plot twist, relevant to said arc, like what is Jellal's connection to Erza, who is E.N.D, and what is Zeref's connection to [Spoilers]. It's not a huge problem, the arcs were still fun, but in contributes to it's formulaic nature. 2nd is a way smaller scale problem, and something that personally got on my nerves - characters don't die. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't put them into danger all the time. Oh no, Lyon jumped off the cliff with the Oracion Seis guy! Nah he's fine, obviously. Oh no! Wendy made the super weapon self-destruct and she and Charle can't move, and share a really emotional scene together. Nah they don't die, get real. There are more examples, but that's enough for me. If you don't want your characters to die, don't put them into a fatal situation all the time, it's as easy as that. It just feels cheap, like Mashima trying to pull the same April Fools prank on me for 5 days in a row, that never even worked initially.
@@balsamon69 Big agree. I actually used to be a pretty big Fairy Tail hater myself (despite loving it when I watched it) because I just got swept in the anime community hatred for it and I was still pretty young at the time. Nowadays I realize most of the criticisms I had towards it weren't necessarily untrue but were very unfair given the audience/story Fairy Tail was trying to tell. I'm a big believer that media made for younger audiences doesn't need to be dumbed down, but I also think that younger people typically tend to enjoy stories for the hype and emotional highs and less for the nuance and story/character progression.
Which is why I think it's super unfair to really go hard on Fairy Tail for having a lot of silly gags and repeated plot-points when plenty of other well-known and even respected media does more or less the same thing. The Avengers franchise (the same/similar stories told over and over again but with different actors, jokes, and fight sequences), Dragonball Z (Way overpowered bad guy, Goku training arc, all his allies die/get beat, Goku comes in at the end and wins with a powerup, except that one time Gohan did something), and pretty much every isekai story created after 2015 in general. All of these are some of the most popular media in the world right now, yet all fall into more or less the same traps as Fairy Tail.
So at the end of the day, I think there are better shows that are made for children/younger teenagers, such as ATLA or even One Piece (which does have some typically-Japanese sexism in it but for the most part tells a far more nuanced narrative that also provides extremely good examples regarding gender, race, and status equality), but I would still place Fairy Tail above average on the scale of good/bad media. Sure, a lot of stuff is repeated or silly, but at least the general messaging is positive, the characters are unique enough to stand on their own, and the music and world-building are amazing. (One of the reasons I got into music composition was Fairy Tail's OST)
SAO gets as much flack in the anime community as Fairy Tail, and I think it along with most isekai anime actually deserves a lot of it. Not only are most if not all the criticisms very accurate, but in general the message behind the stories is very warped and pretty messed up. I'm not saying all entertainment needs to have positive messaging, but if something is clearly marketed towards younger viewers (like most isekai is), you really should consider what your story is teaching them. Kirito's extreme edginess, the general misogyny in harem stories (don't get me wrong I actually love harem stories but only the ones targeted to young adults that can make the distinction between pure entertainment trash and valuable fiction), inappropriate/extreme/needless acts to make the antagonists bad using shock factor and once again, more misogyny disguised as heroism, and characters that are literally all cardboard cutouts.
If it wasn't as popular as it was, it wouldn't be that much of an issue, but as someone who also got very sucked into SAO and now highly regrets that phase of my life, I'm just glad anime like One Piece, Fairy Tail, and Naruto shaped my overall views on anime/manga. All have their respective flaws, but generally each have moments of actually intriguing storytelling, emotional impact, and all around great distinctive art. All are very different in how they approach these things, so I don't tend to like comparing them.
This is already way too long, but to conclude I think criticizing something is way easier than defending something, and as the typical Shounen scene is full of younger viewers, most of them are going to trend towards bandwagoning. I fell into this trap, and as a teacher, I also watch as a lot of my students who watch anime also fall down this trap. It's really unfortunate that people can't enjoy something these days without being attacked for it. I understand and support the need for criticism, but most people don't understand the distinction between constructive criticism and ranting for the sake of clout and entertainment. As I've grown up I've watched as the people around me grow more and more cynical, even the younger generations, for no other reason than to look "woke" or fit in with the masses, even if the masses are wholly wrong or misinformed about something. It's really sad, because I know a lot of people are going to end up skipping over or avoiding things like Fairy Tail and instead watching trashy isekai anime #45. Despite its flaws, Fairy Tail shaped a lot of my career path, personality, and views on relationships. As cliche as the "power of friendship" trope is in anime, it's a by far better message than the "I can do everything by myself and everyone else is just a tool for my glory" of modern isekai/SAO.
Someone send this to the anime man
The biggest difference is this - one series knows how to get their stories and arcs completed in a timely matter and the other doesn't know when to stop. Can you guess which is which?
No... please enlighten us
I never saw it as a rip off when fairy tail first came out, sure that one guy look like shanks but I thought it was just a coincidence which does happen sometimes and I love both of these two shows equally for a real long time and I never thought badly about either of them
I'm a one piece fan, and the fact that so much people think that fairy tale is a rip off really make me pissed. Even thought Oda is a good manga writer, that doesn't mean that he invented everything.
Fairy Tail fans: Why do others think we’re ripping off another anime?
Sonic fans: First time?
sad but true
I never thought Fairy Tail was a ripoff, but you'll never convince me shanks and gildarts are not the same guy.
Gildarts didn't fight achnologia for any real reason and he is a part of the main group sometimes. All we know about Shanks is that he's really cool, and he hasn't done much. They're not the same character. Until of course, Shanks starts blowing shit up.
Honestly understandable 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watch the video
It’s obvious, shanks wanted more screen time, so decided to be in fairy tale and get featured in one piece occasionally. So they are the same person, change my mind.
@@AAA-dz1ur they don't even have the same haircolor
I am both a fan of Fairy Tail and One Piece. Yes, there are also other people like me.
The first time I watched One Piece, I remembered Groove Adventure: Rave. And the first time I watched Fairy Tail, I remembered One Piece. Probably because of the world-building and the humor (they all pulled it off perfectly). Eichiiro Oda and Hiro Mashima are two of my favorite mangakas, not only because of their art styles (which closely resemble each other) but with how they tell their stories and make you get invested in their characters.
As of writing this I'm currently 20 episodes away from being caught up in One Piece and I've already read and watched Fairy Tail and need to catch up on the FT 100 Year Quest manga, but I love both series.
Is Fairy Tail a rip off? Nope.
Are there similarities? Yup.
Is One Piece anime poorly executed from the source material? Yup, with several exceptions.
Is Fairy Tail Anime well paced? Yes, except for Tartaros and the very end of the series.
Overall, I refer back to an interview between Kishimoto (Naruto) and Horikoshi (BNHA): "any super power story will have some similarities......the the things you've read just come out in your own work, like he realizing now he drew Naruto as a kid, then young adult, then married with a kid-- and that's part of what he liked about Dragon Ball. But he never meant to imitate it." -Kishimoto
While Mashima has openly said that he's a fan of One Piece, that doesn't mean he's actively ripping off Oda - he's just drawing what intrigues him. Couple that with the similar series that both of them grew up with, then you have two artists that think and draw similarly that eventually take different directions (which is reflected in their styles).
Speaking about Tartaros anime pacing, I think it was handled well, but if it were a bit longer it could be better, but my biggest problem with the anime in Tartaros Saga was the animation, it felt so low quality like they were out of budget, specially Igneel VS Acnologia, oh gosh, it loked embarassing the majority of time
@@victorsantos4531I thought it had the best looks aside from that fight. Which kinda makes sense since the dragons are tough to animate
The thing with the similary is that, both Oda and Mashima started the series using a more cartton and rounded style for their works, which really can give a vibe of similarity, since they're using the same art style, but with time, Mashima wnt so far away from the cartoon style it could never be called a rip-off. I remember in 2013 when Facebook was full of people saying everything was a rip-off and I was just like "Are those people dumb?"
This is almost as dumb as when people were saying that FT and Eden Zero's characters look nearly the same as if Artstyle doesn't exist or that no other artist has ever done that before. Drives me up the wall when people scapegoat FT (Or any other "Non Big 3/5" series for that matter) for BS reasons.
Look at erza scarlet from fariy tail and elsie crimson from edens zero. NOW THATS A PROBLEM
@@ggkg3197 Fair enough. He also did something similar with Jellal and Sieghart, a major character from Rave Master. Elsie's main pursuer Justice is also a part of this, but we've only seen him in 1 chapter briefly so whether or not he has more similarities beyond the look of his ether gear isn't known yet.
._.
did they forget fairy tail and eden's zero are both by the same guy
but i think he's trying to make a manga with similar characters but different plots? as far as ive read eden's zero it has a different plot
sure, they have similarities but at the same time theyre both _different_
its even funnier bc Eden Zero HAS the same creator as FT
I love when you say “[Manga Artist] owns the rights to long black hair” because apparently no one really thinks about how stupid it is to claim that a certain trait is “copied” when in actuality it is a commonly used thing. It’s basically like saying “OH NO BUCKY FROM THE AVENGERS IS BEING RIPPED OFF BY SHIRO FROM VOLTRON BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE A SIMILAR MECHANICAL ARM!!1!!”
I like both , but. I hate when one piece fan boys harass Fairytail like saying “fairytail isn’t “a real” anime “. if this the anime fandom then it needs to burn to the ground
By the Logic that gajeel copied monkey d dragon couldn't be Said that monkey d dragon copied raditz ?
(P.S by that Logic)
Ricardo Silva long hair has now been copyrighted by Akira Toriama, nobody else is allowed to use long-hair in their stories other than him, otherwise it’s a glorified RIP-OFF.
Yes, that's what he meant by both being inspired by Akira Toriyama. Both of them are clearly inspired by the themes and settings he used. By this I mean the combination of fantastical settings inspired by foreign mythologies found in the Shounen work of Osamu Tezuka, with the more Ecchi elements introduced when Go Nagai invented that genre.
Shanks and Gildarts look somewhat similar to each other mostly from hairstyle alone ? .... clearly it's a ripoff /s.

As a fan of both, I just wanted a cross over.
One big thing that I love about Fairy Tail and it will never change: The music 🎶
I’m a huge One Piece fan. I agree with you 100% that the pacing in the anime has gotten bad. I stopped watching the anime after Punk Hazard and have exclusively read the series while occasionally coming back to see adapted highlights.
I do disagree on the music though. I love the soundtrack. Lol
I agree with most of ur points except the OST. One piece OST smacked fairy tail OST and the fact that u said some people might not like that OST angers me idk why 💀💀💀 who in their right head would hate such a hyped OST (and btw u kinda exaggerated the "play this all the time" no it kinda didn't but aight)
I don't know. I find myself listening to fairy tails ost a whole lot more and don't really find a lot of one piece's to be all that good. This is coming from someone who likes one piece eons more than I liked fairy tail but if I had my way i'd probably replace the one piece anime soundtrack with the pirate warriors soundtrack lol.
What he means is that Fairy Tail has more Iconic tracks. I am a fan of both series, and I have to agree with him, I only know that specific OST for One Piece, however I know basically ALL the Fairy Tail OSTs.
@@Arturo1026Br idk man, one piece OST is def more iconic. Like u can spot it so easily, oh shit this from one piece. And don't worry, I watched fairy tail aswell 🤣🤣 it's just opinionated I guess
@@visible6517 maybe for you, but for me it's the opposite
@@Arturo1026Br yeah, as I said, opinionated. I just think OST like "the very very very strongest" is too well known and good for someone who watched one piece. But fairy OST still good, don't get me wrong. But yeah, it's opinionated. Imo, one piece OST smacked fairy tail OST.
The Soul Eater music in the background 😂😂
Now I just want to go and create a picture compilation of anime characters lying injured/dirty on the floor while smiling xD
Yknow i was with you up till you said that the one piece soundtrack wasnt as good as fairy tail, one piece's soundtrack is fantastic. That song you played was called overtaken, the ones you didnt mention were mother sea, which makes me cry literally anytime i here it, the very very very strongest, desperate situation, and to the grand line. Thats not even taking into account the manifold character themes that SLAP such as zoros, sanjis, frankys, or katakuris, or the absolute bangers of in canon music like binks sake, nekomamushi, bone to be wild, and for the new world. (Thanks brook those songs are awesome)
Fairy Tail isn't a One Piece ripoff but I'm still made about you dragging it down. One Piece > Fairy Tail always and I'm saying that as a Fairy Tail fan. The story cannot be beaten.
Both my favorites
The only similarity I see is Fairy Tail’s Guildarts looking like One Piece’s Shanks.
Classic anime tropes in two shows in the same genre.
I couldn't even watch the OP anime until the Wano arc. Until now it's been a real disservice to the manga.
I think the One Piece anime is getting a bit misrepresented here.. I mean sure the pacing can be pretty stretched later on.. but the osts are good.. which I disagree with you on..
the main elements and emotional parts themselves are still in the anime and are executed really well. The animation usually steps up when it needs to and is constantly improving. I am sure one day I would like a more refined version that is more friendly to new people and rewatchers.. but imo it's already pretty good as is.. (even with the pacing).
Well as a OP fan and anime wtcher, nope, they aren't. Dressrosa is the worst case of that, a lot of the emotional parts are so stretched ou and repeated so many times it becomes annoying and boring! And yeah, OP has good OSTS, but they rarely use them, they generally most use the same ones. And man, the One PIece animation in Dressorssa and Whole Cake was not good! Whole Cake looked plastic as fuck, with no depth, and Whole Cake was suposed to be a fun place but with a lot of darkness looming in it, but he colors were so saturated and plastic, with no sense of depth, Big Mom design in the aime was just goofy, not a mix between gody and creepy, just goofy, One PIece got better here in Wano, but Dressrosa and Whole Cake are like, the biggest examples of how bad the One PIece anime can be handled
@@victorsantos4531 Wait seriously? WCI was one of the better adapted arcs. As for the saturated colors, I'm pretty that was Oda's choice, cause if you've seen any work of his in color, he tends to go all out and wild

Here's the difference between the two:
*One Piece:* It's basically a Japanese version of _Pirates of the Caribbean._
*Fairy Tail:* It's _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ takes place in the Medieval Ages.
I don't really see the latter one.
@@easter_god They all have different elemental powers
@@SpectreBagels ok? But is that really enough to say that it's "medieval avatar"? And not everyone uses elemental powers in the first place.
@@easter_god both are supposed to be just loose comparisons. I'm sure you wouldn't say Luffy and his crews adventures were EXACTLY like those in the movie. The titles are just to get you to see the base comparison. Its a joke
@@SpectreBagels well yea you got a point there but i still don't really see the second one
Shanks also does not have a crazy unique appearance. So if you want to have a strong mentor character who's middle aged they're going to look like Shanks no matter what. Someone who's old enough to have a lot of wisdom and seen a lot of the world but still young enough to be an active player and be a powerhouse.
I think a character that's much more similar to Shanks is Dunban from Xenoblade. Since they are both using giant swords, they are both around the same age, they both have lost an arm, they both have passed on the signature item to the protagonist and are both still active fighters.
Are you forgetting We Are.That is the most catchiest song I have heard.
I don't think he was speaking about OPs, but more about soundtrack in general
One piece op 20 is the best op in one piec prove me wrong
He just glossed over all the positives of the anime because apparently it’s unwatchable
I actually don't like One Piece, couldn't get into the story, whereas Fairy Tail was way more interesting to me when I was watching it ! I never understood why Fairy Tail got so much hate (plus the soundtrack is awesome !)
I got into fairy tail first and I think it’s easier to get into than one piece but I still prefer one piece. I think fairy tail is way too overhated
I mean if you like FT pretty sure you'll like One Piece.
@@zeroxenoverse9251 Well not really because I tried getting into one piece, read about ten of them and didn't like it.
The only character I thought looked a lot like Gildarts was Silver who is literally in the same universe. I never understood where the whole "Fairy tail is a One Piece ripp-off" came from. Some people just hate on Fairy Tail for the sake of it.
Not to mention, people like to compare Natsu to Luffy, despite the fact that their not as similar as people think. They both Lovable idiots with Spiky Hair and abilities rare to their world and who are good at fighting and big appetites. But otherwise, everything else is different. In Looks, Luffy is fit, but skinny. He wears a red no sleeve vest that's buttoned up most of the time, and blue shorts that are a little tight and go down to his knees. and he wears a Straw Hat over this Shorter, Black, Spiky Hair. Nasu is more Muscular than Luffy (especially after the Time Skip). His Hair is Pink and Longer, and their Faces look nothing alike. Luffy's arms are longer. Natsu wears a Black Vest with One Sleeve, and White Baggy Pants that go down to his Shins. Not to mention, Luffy is a Rubber man, while Natsu is a Demon who sometimes has Dragon parts. They both wear Sandals, and have spiky hair, that's it.
Training and Fighting wise, Luffy and Natsu both started Training at around 7-9 years old, did Survivalist Training (Both even fought giant monkeys as children), and have a Brash Fighting Style that relies on Brute Strength, Perseverance, and Dumb Luck. But unlike Luffy, Natsu was trained in actually Martial Arts by a Goddamn Dragon, while with Luffy, it was more akin to Survivalist Training and Street Fighting with no actual guidance or anyone to teach him. Natsu has more actual combat Experience fighting off against people just as strong and even stronger (like how Guildarts would knock him into orbit sometimes), while Luffy at a similar age was only fighting off against monkeys and Regular ass Pirates with no outlandish Strength or Power Feats. Luffy's Training in Haki may have given him some Training, but nothing outlandish past Haki and basic Strength Training, and Natsu is older by a year with Luffy being 19 while Natsu is about 20+. Natsu's abilities are allot rarer than Luffy, because even though in the One Piece world, people capable of using Haki or Devil Fruit Users are supposed to be rare, you can't really go 1 arc without meeting a new Haki/Devil Fruit user, while there's only 9 Dragon Slayers in Fairy Tail (7 if you include the fact that Natsu killed Agnilogia and Ignia). Natsu also has a more Strategic approach to his fighting that include utilizing his adaptability in combat to work around his opponents Strengths, Weaknesses, and Abilities, while with Luffy, it's mostly just Brute Strength and Dumb Luck.
In Powers, both characters have Enhanced Physiques like Super Strength, Speed, Durability, etc., but that's were they separate. Luffy has a rubber Body due to Eating the Gum Gum Fruit that allows him to Stretch, Extend, and Inflate his Body however he wants, and uses Haki, a Spiritual energy that gives him 3 abilities: the ability to see far or in Invisible objects as well as a Pseudo Precognition ability; The ability to cover himself in a spiritual metal that is as basically his skin and has no weight to it, but increases his Durability; and the ability to Knock out Weaker Opponents by blinking. He also has accelerated Healing. He also has 3 separate forms (maybe 4 if he has a 5th Gear) other than his base form that include accelerating his Blood-flow to increase his abilities, or inflating certain parts of his body to increase his Weight, Attack Potency, and sometimes, his abilities, and he augments them with Haki. These forms are limited to how much his body can take since some of the forms damage his body the more he uses them , or a specific Time Limit. Natsu has the ability to eat Fire to Replenish his magic and Heal his wounds or any Damage he's previously took, mold his Flames into certain appendages and control what they burn, is completely immune to fires from this plain (he has been affected by God Slyer Flames, and Flames of the Celestial Spirit World), can augment other peoples fire to his own, and can pretty much do Whatever he wants with fire, and progressed in this after he ate the Flames of Ignia in the 100 Year Quest Arc in the Manga to where he can incinerate Magic. He also has increased Senses and a Slight Healing Factor. He has quite a few forms, but only 6 of these forms are Permanent. These forms include embracing his Dragon and Demon Abilities, and Augmenting his powers with the Flames of Ignia or Lightning. All of them increase his Destructive and Attack potency and his Physical attributes, and are only limited by his Level of Magic (That, plus he can only instinctually go into Dragon Force and hasn't't completely Mastered it). Nothing is similar.
Personality wise, They may be Lovable, Stupid, Combative, a little naive, and Have massive Appetites, but that's it. They may love their Friends, but Natsu's More open, and is more willing to accept others. Most of the time Luffy gets into a fight, or makes an enemy, it's because his enemy has separate views than his, like how Black Beard likes freedom, but also likes anarchy, and live with a survival of the fittest philosophy with no remorse for anyone. While Akainu is for order, but against freedom, with a need to dominate and kill anyone in his path. Natsu stays consistent, and mostly makes enemies with anyone who hurts his friends. Plus, Luffy is more of an instinctual Idiotic, while Natsu seems more like a Rational and Down-To-Earth type idiot, and is allot more relatable and realistic than Luffy. While Luffy just seems like he's in his own world all the time and seems more random most of the time.
Asperations. Luffy aims to be the King of the Pirates. And Natsu doesn't have a goal. He doesn't aim to be the Wizard King, the Leader of Fairy Tail, or the most powerful in his world. He just wishes to be as strong as he needs to be to protect his friends. To live a peaceful life with his friends, Drinking, Fighting, and just having fun. Their Aspirations are nothing alike.
Both are the big 5 of anime (along with Goku, Naruto, and Ichigo), but their symbolism is different. Luffy is the Symbol of Adventure and Courage, while Natsu is the Symbol if Friendship and Wonder. With Luffy, he inspires to make everyone be Courageous so that they can live life as an Adventure, while Natsu inspires everyone to make friendships to live with you and be there for you to make life easier and better.
They're not the same! A better Comparison is Luffy and Goku.
Luffy is a much better character than luffy and natsu
@@lawrencegutierrez9261 What?
@@narakubadass3876 what?
@@lawrencegutierrez9261 "Luffy is a better character than Luffy and Natsu?"
I literally never understood why is everyone comparing the two. It almost Got me to the point of asking in OP groups why do they think so but didnt wanna start some sort of argument
The OP's music problem is the same that I had with DBS, I love the music but they play it almost everytime that I want to die...

Even if it was true and there was some influence it doesn't make it a rip-off.
Ripoff? Nah, never thought that. Yea I always considered Fairy Tail to be Diet One Piece, but just because of similar feels between them. That wouldn't be the first time I felt two manga have similar feels.
As for the anime? I dunno, I only read the manga.
Franky has Popeye arms and uses soda like spinach. So he is a rip off.
I don't know why people hate fairy tail, i find it really enjoyable and it’s full of comedy
Great video man, I’m glad someone managed to say that Fairy Tail isn’t a Rip Off. And I agree with all your points. Keep up the good work
It is a rip-off, read rave from the same author lol
Javi A secas notice how he said fairy tail not rave master and second of all rave is nowhere near the same as one piece
@@AK-tw1vf Notice how I said rave master was a story and fairy tail is almost the same as rave master not mentioning one piece at all
Nah, it never was. Just bad troll attempt lol.
Both of them ENDED the world by the power of friendship
The power of nakama power ups
*Magic of Friendship:* OMAE WA MU SHINDEIRU!!!!
But one piece doesn't have much "power of friendship"
@Just a random Gamer Otaku -a genius btw- Yeah, it’s just some friends going along for a ride.
One piece is not ended yet and doesn't have power of friendship. Where was "power of friendship" when kuma completely destroyed the strawhats
I don’t really like Fairy Tail but it’s definitely not a ripoff, people are just stupid...
As a fairy tail fan, thank you
Show literally is nothing like One Piece lol
Your videos butter my biscuits thank you
100% agree , great video! Also I would like to point out that fairy tails sound track is made by the same guy that made all the Naruto soundtracks. One piece does have some banger openings and closing songs though.
You sir just earned my respect
I hope one day, some years after One Piece ends, a new anime adaptation will be made and, let's be real, its so far away in the future i'll probably watch it with my children of a girl i havent even met yet. And still i hope OP will get the HxH adaptation treatment, please give it to me.
Never once did I think it came anywhere near one piece feels. Just because shanks and gildarts look similar in anime ONLY. People who hate the troupe of "I'll fight and live for my family" won't like fairytale and are shallow people
If so Black Clover is huge rip off of Fairy Taill. Look at "Black Bulls" and compare it to the members of "Fairy Tail". It is impossible not to notice the rip off characters.
Fairy Tail female designs are better than One Piece's.
Change my mind.
one piece and fairy taill are comepletely differetn stories but i always say that people who like fairy tail should read one piece because fairy tail and one piece are the same in the sense that you feel an emotional connection to the main cast, people always say the reason they love fairy tail so much is because they felt a part of the guild but people who read one piece always say they feel like they're a part of the strawhat crew. so that's why i say they're similar, not ripoffs but similar in that sense. also i recommend one piece to fairy tail fans because let's be honest the story of fairy tail is kinda all over the place but with one piece in my opinion it's alot more thought out so i can reccomend it to fairy tail fans because it gives the same feeling to a slightly lesser extent as fairy tail with a better story.
When one piece was released Luffy was considered extremely similar to Goku which was one of the reasons for it's success. It came out the same year DBZ ended and since Luffy was so similar a lot of DBZ fans migrated to One Piece.

A lot of those scene's are also incredibly generic ones. Like Usoph being injured is not really a unique thing and you can find a scene like that in pretty much every manga of reasonable length.
Oda also takes a lot of inspiration from things. Like Impel Down being based on Dante's infurno, Wholecake island being based on Alice in Wonderland, Skypia having a lot of Christian and Roman influences.
