T: Yes, as a writer for the jump, sometimes I feel not to be much compared to you (I guess it refers to the fact that One Piece is one of the flagship series of Shonen Jump)
O: Mr. T is too humble. When I was attending, I had always loved your work for their originality.
T: I do not like stories that follow a predefined scheme. I always try to make things more interesting, more unexpected. I pay much attention to your work too. Your story is very emotional. (? I have my doubts about the last sentence so I translated literally)
O: Haha, usually I created the character first, and then I invent a story in keeping with this character. Mr.T and you?
T: Sometimes I'm out of ideas and it tires me. I generally watch western movies, martial arts series, short series of legends and history for ideas.
O: I see. It's a good idea. Your characters are great. The drawing must ask you a lot of effort, right?
T: Just a habit to take. Maybe I'm more influenced by the old school.
O: The arc of ants is almost finished? I think the second half of the arc ant is very special, and it inspired me a lot.
T: Thank you. I just drawn that way as if, as there were lots of breaks in between. It has been some changes in my style for the ant arc. I am impressed that OP always retains the same style.
O: There are times when I would like change my style, but it's risky. I'm sure Mr. T understand.
T: Yes, the editors were concerned with the style of HxH and they were worried that readers do not appreciate, but I still continued. I want to show clearly what I have in mind.
O: So where is HxH? At half?
T: Hard to say. I still have five or six stories in mind. If all goes as planned, there should be at least 3 or 4 stories after the ant arc. Course of time, unexpected events occur and fuck up your plans. therefore, OP is more than half? (So for all of those who think the Dark continent will be the last arc
)
O: Yes, I think I'm going a little fast. When a story is half over, I'm already thinking about the following story to my readers, so the story a bit rushed.
T: That means you do not miss imagination, which is a good thing.
O: The editing is very helpful. In general, I give them the story in outline, and they are the ones that help me work out the details.
T: Shonen Jump Magazine has a lot of good manga with wide range of topics. Everything seems that they can continue much longer. The new ones look promising.
O: One Piece once worked in collaboration with Toriko. I think the manga (Toriko) closely resembles the beginning of HxH. He must have been influenced by Mr. T.
T: I think the same thing, but my world is bigger than his. It's more like OP(One Piece). Haha.
O: I see Mr. T still has a sense of humor.
