Hello everyone; I'm DBZFan12. As my username implies, I am a fan of Dragon Ball Z. I hadn't really been interested in One Piece until late 2016. I invited a friend over to my house one weekend and she brought her XBOX One and a copy of Burning Blood with her. I had thought I told her that I didn't know much about One Piece, and, when I reminded her of this, she told me that she knew, but thought that playing a One Piece game might get me interested in it and broaden my anime horizons.

I had to admit that she did have a point. I really could have stood to watch more anime - and, indeed, STILL could stand to do that - as the only anime I had ever been interested in at the time were: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z (no particular interest in Dragon Ball GT or Dragon Ball Super); Pokemon; Digimon; and, unbeknownst to her at the time, Speed Racer. And her method of using a One Piece video game to get me interested in it wasn't a bad one. Tie-in video games can be an effective way to get someone interested in the source material. Hell, Legacy of Goku 2 and later Budokai Tenkaichi 3 are what got me interested in Dragon Ball Z in the first place.

Anyway, we played Burning Blood, and, after about 30 minutes, I was hooked; now I'm a fan of One Piece.
