One Piece Creator Shares Adorable Hunter x Hunter Crossover Art

By Nick Valdez

Hunter x Hunter's series creator has had a lot to celebrate recently as the action series has returned to the pages of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and the series creator behind One Piece has shared some special new tribute art to help celebrate! With Hunter x Hunter finally coming back for new chapters after nearly four long years of being on a hiatus, fans of series creator Yoshiro Togashi's works have been celebrating the creator's comeback. Not only that, but the creator has gotten a lot more love from other major manga artists too with the opening of a new art exhibition.

Yoshihiro Togashi's new art exhibition shows off work from not only Hunter x Hunter, but his previous works such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Level E, and more. This new exhibition also includes special tribute art from other creators as well such as One Piece series creator Eiichiro Oda, who has shared a special new tribute bringing Gon, Luffy, and Chopper together for the big occasion. You can check it out below as spotted by @HxHSource on Twitter with a special message from Oda too: 

How Does One Piece's Creator Feel About Yoshihiro Togashi? 

Oda's special message to Togashi begins as such, "A few years ago, I met up with Togashi-sensei for the first time in a long time at a certain place and thanked him. Togashi-sensei said, 'Right?' I can't tell you what about, but I can tell you that I have been grateful to him ever since he judged my work for the Rookie of the Year Award. I have been following Togashi's works since his award-winning works, and I have an image of him as a cunning author who can change his appearance at will."

Oda's message to Togashi then continues with, "He shows his ability in important places. That's why I can't take my eyes off him. The story of Amanuma and Kurama in Yu Yu Hakusho gave me goosebumps. I admired the freedom of Level E. I believe that writers can become slaves to their readers. In that sense, Hunter x Hunter is also free. It's cool!"
