User blog comment:Sentomaru/Are Devil Fruits too common?/@comment-1916732-20121022002946

Well i dont think their too common. I mean DF's are just like the Ki blast equivelent to DBZ. But unlike DBZ, Oda has the difficulty of making each power different. In DBZ, the only real change in Ki blasts were color and maybe certain ways they were used. When Oda first started, he didnt think One Piece would be popular to the point where he would need to make so many DF's. The popular the series got, the more fruit ideas he got. From people throwing booger bombs to people making a fixed area their operating table.
