One Piecehas been trending since the beginning of Monkey D. Luffy vs. Rob Lucci on the Egghead Island. Even though there are several anime that are pretty good and competing for first place,One Piecehas made the first position its stronghold. Thousands of readers preferOne Pieceover other manga, and Eiichiro Oda has worked hard to achieve that level of popularity.
But it was not always like this. Before the rivalry of the Big Three of anime, Eiichiro Oda was hell-bent on surpassing a certain manga on the Weekly Shounen Jump. It always used to come up on top, and at one point, Oda sensei became desperate. The manga that challengedOne Piecewas none other thanDetective Conan, which is still going on.
Eiichiro Oda Was Determined To DethroneDetective Conan
Detective Conanis one of the most popular anime ever. It is about a young detective who transformed into a kid due to some medication and has been solving cases in disguise. The manga serialization began in 1994 and is still going on.One Piecebegan serializing in 1997, and Eiichiro Oda sawDetective Conanas his enemy. Whenever he saw it, it was always on the top, making him desperate to dethrone it.

During an interview,Detective Conancreator Gosho Aoyama said to Eiichiro Oda that the latter pretty soon surpassedDetective Conan. Oda sensei answered,“At that time, I was really desperate. I don’t know about what happened. When the serialization started I was doing the best I can, which made me stop looking at my surroundings.”Even thoughDetective Conanstarted three years earlier, Oda sensei’s determination paid off.
In one way, theOne Piecefandom should be thanking Gosho Aoyama sensei for creatingDetective Conan. It helped Eiichiro Oda to drive himself wild and work harder to grab the top spot. Initially, Aoyama sensei was the driving force behindOne Piece’s successful reign as the most-read manga on Manga Plus. Even after 25 years, Monkey D. Luffy and company are still ruling supreme over the new generation of anime.
One PieceandDetective ConanAre Two Of the Longest Running Series
One PieceandDetective Conanare two of the longest-running series ever. The former has 108 volumes in total, and the latter has 104 volumes in total. Both of them have crossed 1100 episodes and have a fandom that can make any other fandom jealous. WhileOne Pieceis about Monkey D. Luffy gathering a pirate crew and fulfilling his dream of becoming the pirate king, Detective Conan is about an excellent kid detective.
Gosho Aoyama’s seniority did not stop him from becoming great friends withEiichiro Oda. Eiichiro Oda also saw Gosho Aoyama as his enemy and was frustrated to see how good he was with his writing. Even though Oda sensei became frustrated, it somehow motivated him to surpass his rival.One Piecefollows a linear plot whileDetective Conanbrings up new cases.
