If you were a kid in the early 2000s, you probably grew up trying to catch new episodes of Naruto, Dragon Ball, and One Piece on Cartoon Network, Toonami, or 4Kids after school. At the peak of shonen anime's reign on children's television, playgrounds at recess were filled with kids pretending to fight with twig kunai, sailing on seesaw boats, and collecting pinecone dragonballs. Naturally, with all these cool powers and adventures knocking around in kids' heads, things were easily jumbled, mixed, and synthesized. It wasn't really that crazy to see a rasengan brought into battle against a Devil Fruit eater, or an opponent claim that his rubber skin could deflect the effects of a shurikan. Now, thanks to ai, these fusions of our childhood imaginations are brought to life. Check out these images produced by @the_ai_dream of the world of One Piece if our fav Naruto ninjas were transported there.
