I distinctly remember going outside and playing basketball while listening to music, a habit that I’ve always had when trying to brainstorm. I racked my brain for characters that I had seldom written about before. As I often do, I started with the five human characters that are most interesting to me - Krillin, Tien, Yajirobe, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu. I neglected to write about Krillin, Tien, or Yajirobe, as I had already written about them in A Front, Tien: Origins, and Why Bother? respectively. I eliminated Chiaotzu too, because I couldn’t think of anything interesting for him - I reserved his story for a later date. Thusly I settled upon Yamcha, and began to think of a storyline.

I racked my brain for characters that I had seldom written about before. As I often do, I started with the five human characters that are most interesting to me - Krillin, Tien, Yajirobe, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu. I neglected to write about Krillin, Tien, or Yajirobe, as I had already written about them in A Front, Tien: Origins, and Why Bother? respectively. I eliminated Chiaotzu too, because I couldn’t think of anything interesting for him - I reserved his story for a later date. Thusly I settled upon Yamcha, and began to think of a storyline. A plot point that I had previously introduced in Tien: Origins was that Yamcha was secretly torn up over Bulma leaving him. I felt like that character point had been underplayed in Tien: Origins after the second chapter, so I elected to write a story about that. I knew at the time that I wanted to write a fairly short story, and that I also wanted it to be about Yamcha’s isolation and how the world had left him alone. I chose the story title “One” to depict this, because, as the saying goes, one is the loneliest of numbers. A lot of the other touches involving this number followed thereafter. The number “one” is used no fewer than six times throughout the story, and the story is also 1,111 words long. This was never intended to be a trait that would be replicated in future stories - it was instead planned as a one-shot with a couple of fun easter eggs inside. However, a lot of the easter eggs in this story would later be carried over to future stories in the collection in order to provide a sense of connectivity between the stories. I wrote this story very quickly, probably in the span of about 45 minutes. I did not listen to music at all while writing the story, something that is very rare for me to do. In fact, this may have been the only story that did not feature music in the song-writing process. The basic theme of the story is that Yamcha is no longer suited for human society and is therefore relegated to a life of relative seclusion and isolation.
