Weird..... Indeed a masterpiece in its own way but it was weird to read a story in such a different take... This chapter definitely brought me some memories from Death Note.... It was pretty much as Death Note but with a comedic twist..... Good enough to really consider the author as outstanding mangaka.... DN = WANTED! Ch. 2 XD

Maybe this chapter was an inspiration for Ohba-san ideas for Death Note.... Who knows XD

Awesome, Eiichiro Oda fuckin Rullz, i really loved the story, it's like one piece + death note by the way the story was very original.

Now I know what was Death Note's origin. Eiichiro Oda had some seriously magnificent projects before he became One Piece's author and "God's Gift For the Future" is certainly one of them.

much better than chapter one, really enjoyed it both character and plot wise, the end was very epic and God was the man

God Note is much more powerful then a mere deathnote.

First story was nice, I loved this one. Like everyone else, my mind jumped to memories of Death Note but unlike the rest, I even felt a bit of early Yu Yu Hakusho here. Bran was a great character & so was God to a lesser extent. The humor was solid and I loved the conclusion featuring the precursor to Sanji's "Shitty Geezer" in there. Great stuff, hope the rest continues along this line.

I actually really enjoyed this one. Definitely did get some Death Note vibes, only this was able to be used in order to save people as well. What an irresponsible God, btw.

Saving the child damn nice. Reminds me of Yu Yu Hakusho.

I found this story so well written, clever and funny all at the same time. Oda is a great writer.

I liked when God was explaining about his special pen and Bran just started walking away xD I would love this to be animated (I don’t think it is, although I’ll be over the moon if I’m wrong)

Spotted Ultraman, a Super Saiyan and Buddha amongst the bystanders; there are probably more. Bran (who looks like Zoro) also got a similar scar to Luffy’s at the end; liked that detail.

Really liked the art in this one. Humor was good as well and it was hilarious seeing all the funny faces Oda drew to save time in all the large crowd scenes.

Reading all the replies here I absolutely see the death note and yu yu hakusho parallels. Also the God's mess up here reminded of the god from 100 girlfriends, could this be a possible inspiration?
