Every story is born from sparks of inspiration, and POWER ON is no different. This novel is my love letter to the anime and manga that shaped me. You may notice echoes of familiar worlds within these pages—but rather than copying, I've taken the spirit of those stories and reshaped them into something new.
✨ Main Inspirations
Bleach – The biggest influence on character dynamics. Juichi's serious yet grounded nature, Renji's loyal rival energy, and Sakura's sharp, composed presence all carry the spirit of Bleach's bonds. Illusions, hidden truths, and high-stakes clashes also echo its tone.
One Piece – Adventure across seas, pirate battles, and the balance between humor and danger. The Puzzle Islands Arc, in particular, is my tribute to the thrill of setting sail into the unknown.
Naruto – Generational inheritance, clan conflicts, and the unshakable bonds between comrades. The Buddha Clan's legacy and Juichi's training arcs reflect this influence.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure – De Monté's vampiric descent and inevitable return are inspired by JoJo's unforgettable villain arcs. The idea of shifting protagonists across generations also comes from JoJo's part-based storytelling.
Attack on Titan – The War Front Arc carries its grim survival tone, where armies clash and humanity fights against overwhelming darkness.
Fate/Stay Night & Fate/Zero – Mythic bloodlines, destinies shaped by ancestors, and the looming weight of fate add depth to POWER ON's world.
🌌 What Makes POWER ON Different
While these series lit the path, POWER ON is ultimately its own saga. It's not just the story of one hero, but of many—the battles, sacrifices, and destinies of warriors across generations. Every volume shifts the spotlight, and every protagonist adds a new layer to the myth.
This is the tale of courage, love, betrayal, and power… passed down like a torch through time.
