In 2021, Oda sent a celebration message to Tite Kubo, Bleach mangaka. Oda: Years ago, Kubo went on the radio and openly said, “I hate Oda.🥺” So, do I hold a grudge against Kubo? Yeah, I do. That said, his comment didn’t strike me as particularly rude. In fact, I don’t dislike him. If anything, I kind of respect the audacity it took to say something like that in public.🥰
I remember reading Kubo’s debut manga. We’re around the same age, after all. My first impression was, “Wow, this new mangaka can really draw. The concept is solid too.”
You could tell from his art alone that he was a pretty confident guy. Now that he’s mentioned me like that, I’ll say this with complete confidence: someone like Kubo is an incredibly competitive, hard-working person.
You’re probably a bit embarrassed now, Kubo.😁
You’re a man of effort. Respect!! And congrats on Bleach’s 20th anniversary. Let’s grab a drink sometime soon.🍺

💢 An Iranian Shahed drone heading toward enemy targets today was seen bearing a sticker reading “In memory of Tupac Shakur” and “Killuminati,” referencing his 1996 album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.
The album’s opening track, “Bomb First (My Second Reply),” is about defiance, survival, and resistance to power — themes that closely mirror Iran’s wartime messaging.
Iranian forces and allied groups have increasingly incorporated global anti-establishment pop culture into their messaging and psychological warfare — in their viral LEGO videos and with references like this.
🎶 Lines from the track resonate with that framing:
“We didn’t even come to hurt nobody… but it’s my life or your life”
“Got nothin’ to lose, got nowhere to go”
“Ride for the cause… I’ll die for the cause”
“Plan, plot, strategize… and bomb first”
