The dichotomy of One Piece can make anyone balk. On the one hand, you have the World Government, fraught with Celestial Dragons, the most corrupt and ruthless people alive. And on the other hand, you have pirates, some of whom are trustworthy, but the others are no less evil than the nobles.
So, who do you choose as the rulers of the world? When no side has the correct answer, you simply have to choose the lesser of the two evils. This explains why even a corrupt body like the World Government has some morally upright people working for it: Garp, Sengoku, Kuzan, and Kuma are some examples.
But who draws the line between bearable and unbearable evil? How could Garp let Ace die in front of his eyes by the very government he serves? According to a theory, he, too, was forced to choose the lesser of the two evils.

Big Mom has one of the largest families in the history of One Piece. Her family, also known as the Charlotte family, comprises 85 children, of whom 39 are daughters and 46 are sons. She has had these children since she was eighteen, and she has taken 43 husbands, with her eldest son being Charlotte Perospero and her eldest daughter being Charlotte Compote.
Big Mom Pirates
While all the children of Big Mom have been shown in the series, her husbands have been kept a mystery except for Pound, who is Big Mom’s 25th husband and the father of Charlotte Chiffon and Charlotte Lola. The main reason behind Big Mom’s husband being a mystery is that they are not very relevant to the One Piece narrative.
However, according to the One Piece theory, one of Big Mom’s husbands was the captain of the Beast Pirates, Kaido, and together they had three children: Katakuri,...

Eiichiro Oda has always been one for foreshadowing with some of the most subtle details possible. One Piece being as long as it is, the foreshadowing is almost endless, taking fans back hundreds of episodes and chapters behind to discover how the mangaka gave away major details without paying any attention. While he is not the first to do so, the attention to detail brings about a certain sense of thrill when discovering how easily such things get missed.

While manga and anime are both ongoing at a steady pace, the other spectrum of the world is seeing the escalating feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Anime and manga fans have always compared Luffy, Ichigo, and Naruto, the protagonists of “The Big Three”: One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. While these comparisons primarily focus on the strengths and abilities of the characters, there are other aspects that fans need to consider while trying to prove which character is the better protagonist.

Although the stories of Ichigo and Naruto have ended in their respective series, Luffy still has a few years left. One Piece has just entered the final saga, and it gives Luffy a chance to prove that he is a better protagonist than Ichigo and Naruto. And there is one aspect of the narrative that could help him gain the title.
This aspect involves Luffy writing his own legacy. Unlike Ichigo and Naruto, Luffy does not follow in the footsteps of his father, and that’s what makes him unique.

Dev Patel, Jason Momoa, Olivia Rodrigo and James Wan are the entertainers topping Gold House’s A100 list of the most influential Asian Pacifics across culture for 2024.
Annually released on the first day of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month since 2018, this year’s A100 also includes Keanu Reeves, Hayao Miyazaki, BTS member Jung Kook, Academy president Janet Yang and — in a sign of the relative plenitude of Api-fronted content today — key creatives and cast members from Avatar: The Last Airbender, 3 Body Problem, Past Lives, One Piece, Expats, Elemental, Shōgun and The Sympathizer.
“This year was special: Asian Pacific leaders had a record number of records broken while building a more inclusive tomorrow for all, particularly in new avenues like AI,” Gold House CEO Bing Chen and COO Jeremy Tran said in a joint statement. “Gold House is honored to celebrate so many new and established leaders who are committed to both equity and excellence.

As the final phase of One Piece has already started with the Egghead Island arc, there are still some storylines and characters that Eiichiro Oda has yet to introduce in the story. One of them is the anticipated “pirate with the eye patch”, who, according to the creator, might be one of the most important characters of the series.
One Piece
In 2007, Oda talked about a pirate with an eye patch who was going to bring a huge change to One Piece. This came as a shock to One Piece fans because, despite One Piece being an anime and manga series about pirates, it has never once featured a pirate with the stereotypical eye patch.
However, Oda did not mention whether a new character would be introduced or whether an old character would get an eye patch. This led to many fans believing that the anticipated pirate with the eye...

During the Paris Fan Festival, Taz Skylar, the actor cast to portray Sanji in Netflix’s One Piece Live-Action series, opened up about the initial wave of negative comments he faced on social media following the casting announcement.
During the festival’s Q/A session, Taz recounted his very first exposure to criticism and it was around the time when the One Piece casting news came out. He revealed that his friends informed him that his name was trending on Twitter alongside references to his resemblance to rapper Eminem.
“The best way to get me to do something is tell me I can’t do it,” Skylar stated, revealing that rather than being deterred by the negative feedback, he found motivation in the challenge. “I remember I laughed because I was like, you know what, they have a point. I do kind of look a little bit like Em,” he added.

Chugong’s Solo Leveling Manhwa made history this year after being the most anticipated anime series of 2024. Produced by A-1 Pictures, Solo Leveling broke multiple records and reached the top with just 12 episodes, making it one of the best anime series of all time. Not only that, the series surprised its fans by announcing the second season right after the last episode of the first season was released.
Sung Jin-woo in Solo Leveling
While fans wait for the next season, the series was able to achieve something that has been only done by Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man. The series surpassed Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan on Crunchyroll and became the sixth-highest-rated anime on the platform. This is an incredible feat considering the popularity of Attack on Titan.

Almost every Dragon Ball character has a well-defined body. If you think of major characters like Goku or Vegeta, their stunning physique is always considered to be the gold standard. Yet, it turns out Akira Toriyama never studied muscle structure!
Yes, you read that right. Legendary mangaka Akira Toriyama admitted to not learning muscle models in a discussion with Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece. Oda, who is a huge fanboy of Toriyama, was equally shocked by the news.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been one of the biggest crowd-attractors in recent times, and deservingly so. Studio Ufotable’s unbelievable animation, paired with Koyoharu Gotouge’s gripping tale of struggle, has proved to be the golden combination for blockbusters.
Yuma Takahashi has produced the Demon Slayer anime and worked with it since the first season was produced in 2019. In an interview with Anime News Network, the producer opened up about the anime’s creation process and Koyoharu Gotouge’s role in it.
Tanjiro in Demon Slayer season 3 Was Koyoharu Gotouge Deeply Involved in the Animation Process of Demon Slayer?
According to the interview, Koyoharu Gotouge looked over the scenarios, character designs as well as settings of the Demon Slayer anime. They were intimately involved with the anime creation process. However, the writer also had immense trust in Ufotable, and rather than constantly nitpicking about changes, they just adhered to providing useful advice.

After becoming renowned in the manga world, Mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge sensei’s Demon Slayer went on to conquer the anime world as well through its anime adaptation of the same name. And while the fan-favorite masterpiece story still holds an edge in both industries among other superhit and widely acclaimed projects, One Piece remains one of its strongest competitors in both.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
That being said, there is one thing that gives a further edge to Kimetsu no Yaiba over Eiichiro Oda sensei’s storyline. But this one thing isn’t related to the stories of the sagas, but rather, the animated versions of them, in which Gotouge sensei’s story seems to have effortlessly passed its opponent, thanks to all the new techniques used to efficiently transform the anime into its best version.

The narrative of One Piece has frequently pointed out the fact that Shanks’ crew is the only Emperor crew in the series who do not possess any kind of Devil Fruit abilities. He has reached such great heights in the Pirate world only because of his Haki abilities. This is indeed an incredible feat, and no other crew has been able to do this.
Shanks in One Piece
However, there is a theory going online that states that Shanks might have a Devil Fruit, and it has been kept a secret from the One Piece fans. The fruit not only provides him with basic Devil Fruit powers but also helps him with his strongest Haki ability. This Haki ability is called Future Sight, and it is the advanced version of Observation Haki.
According to the theory, the Devil Fruit is called the Time-Time Fruit, and it was previously used by Kozuki Toki,...

The Dragon Ball franchise has amassed a large fanbase over the years and Hollywood had its eye on adapting the popular franchise in live-action. There were a lot of expectations and with the negative track record of manga adaptations on the big screen, it was a big responsibility that 20th Century Fox and director James Wong took with the film.

Unfortunately, Dragonball Evolution was widely panned when it was released, with fans finding nothing redeeming about the project. Years later, the film’s writer Ben Ramsey apologized to fans for letting them down and acknowledged that he went onto the project for financial reasons and not as a fan of the franchise.

One Piece’s live-action announcement was certainly surprising. Given the history of live-action movies and series, especially in the anime genre, fans initially had their expectations low, and there was a general belief that the Netflix series would be another disappointment.

Yet, surprisingly and fortunately, the series was an immense success. Not only did the series remain true to the source, but it was the casting and actors who stole the spotlight. While actors like Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, and others impressed fans with their talents, Taz Skylar as Sanji stole the show, with many fans declaring his Sanji better than the anime’s version. In a recent appearance, the actor revealed how the negative comments regarding his casting really pushed him to the extreme.

Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto, One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, and Bleach by Tite Kubo are the well-deserving Big Three of the anime and manga world. These three series form the foundation of Weekly Shonen Jump, and they have proven their worth with a strong fan base that has followed them for years.
Naruto in Naruto Shippuden
Although all three of them have their own respective qualities that define them and their popularity, fans have always debated which anime or manga among the three is considered to be the best. They have compared storylines, characters, attacks, animations, sales, fanbase, and much more, but everyone has their own opinions.
However, there is one aspect where Kishimoto’s Naruto has been better than One Piece and Bleach. The trait is overly sexualizing female characters. A post on X(Formerly Twitter) pointed out that both Oda and Kubo have been accused of being sexist...

Chapter 1113 of One Piece shocked the fandom by finally revealing the anticipated message of Dr. Vegapunk to the world. The message might be the biggest revelation in the Egghead Island arc, and it has raised a lot of questions in the minds of One Piece fans. But they will have to wait for the next chapter to find out more details about the message.
Dr. Vegapunk in One Piece
Dr. Vegapunk announced at the end of the chapter that the One Piece world is going to sink soon. As soon as the message was spread through the world, One Piece fans started connecting it to the final scheme of the World Government. The message has once again proved that Eiichiro Oda is the god of foreshadowing because he has already hinted at all this in the previous panels of One Piece.

But if it’s massive for fans, did you ever think how overwhelming it would be for the editors who have been entwined with the work since day 1?
These poor souls have to develop ideas with Eiichiro Oda, and listen to him spin a thousand theories about the best way to catch fans by surprise. In a recent interview, one hilarious fact about a One Piece editor came to light.
Why did One Piece‘s editor fall asleep during a call with Eiichiro Oda?

As we have written on more than one occasion, the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime is slowly heating up for its third part, which is scheduled to air sometime this year. We have also reported that the series is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the anime’s premiere with a special exhibition in Japan, which is part of the preparation for the upcoming arc. Now, as we have said, the Bleach anime is on a break while the manga is officially over (although fans are hopeful that another arc might appear in the future), which is actually a great time to revisit the series as a whole and reveal some shocking and surprising information about how the series was created as a whole.

What is it about Virgin River that keeps Netflix users coming back for more, making it one of the most popular shows on the streaming service?
Some might say it's the laid-back vibe that pervades the titular Northern California town. Some will say it's the romantic intrigue and drama that intertwines each storyline. Well, we'd say it's the talented ensemble cast who never fail to impress with their chemistry, dynamism and commitment to the story.
And one of the undisputed favourites for Virgin River fans is Martin Henderson, who portrays Jack Sheridan. The 49-year-old heartthrob's charm and humble nature make the hearts of almost every viewer beat faster, but now Henderson's career is about to take a drastic turn, as from Season 6 he will not only be responsible for playing the role of Jack, but for other duties as well.

In their quest to create a unique character, mangakas often build an overpowered or ‘stronger than the rest’ protagonist, who has plot armor from the get-go. Whether it is Dragon Ball or One Piece, the heroes are always a class apart. So, how come Naruto turned out to be such a goofy loser?
For Masashi Kishimoto, off-screen character development is not a viable option, which is why he built Naruto from scratch. For a major part of the anime, the protagonist is seen losing, suffering, training, and getting defeated until he learns from all his mistakes.
Consequently, watching Naruto’s journey helped readers and watchers develop a close bond with him.
How is Naruto ‘Different’?
Masashi Kishimoto took inspiration from himself while creating Naruto. He was a poor student, who gave up very easily. He created Naruto to resemble what he always wanted to be: resilient. In an interview published...

Tanaka has been voicing Luffy for almost thirty years, and she has done a great job portraying the character over the years.

However, as she is getting old and the series is still a little far away from the conclusion, the creators might have to find someone else who could do justice to the character of Luffy. This has also become a major concern for Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece. Oda never imagined that the series would go on for so long.
In an interview, Oda talked about how Masako Nozawa, the character who voiced Dr. Kureha in One Piece, offered to take Tanaka’s role as Luffy’s voice actor in One Piece.

The major credit for Chopper’s cuteness goes to Ikue Ootani, the voice actor for the character.

The Dragon Ball franchise has not only left a huge impact on generations of children, teens and young adults, but also on the manga industry. So, after the original Dragon Ball manga concluded in 1995, a huge vacuum was created in its place.
While many wanted to take advantage of it and further their own manga, very few could actually survive in the market. The same is true for Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

One Piece has been trending since the beginning of Monkey D. Luffy vs. Rob Lucci on the Egghead Island. Even though there are several anime that are pretty good and competing for first place, One Piece has made the first position its stronghold. Thousands of readers prefer One Piece over other manga, and Eiichiro Oda has worked hard to achieve that level of popularity.
But it was not always like this. Before the rivalry of the Big Three of anime, Eiichiro Oda was hell-bent on surpassing a certain manga on the Weekly Shounen Jump. It always used to come up on top, and at one point, Oda sensei became desperate. The manga that challenged One Piece was none other than Detective Conan, which is still going on.

Note: This article was written by Jameel Raeburn. What’s the ideal starter anime? It’s the question for every anime enthusiast who is recommending a series, or an exploratory watcher curious to dive into the world of anime for the first time. However, there’s no clear answer. While anime is thankfully more accessible than it’s ever been, there are so many characters, plots, genres and themes that you might feel overwhelmed at first glance. You may turn to friends to hopefully nudge you in the right direction, but you can get thirty conflicting answers from thirty different people. The idea of what’s the perfect starter anime has been hotly debated online. In an interview with Michael B. Jordan , the actor revealed his five anime recommendations for those who haven’t watched it before. “ One Piece , Dragon Ball , Naruto , Bleach , and Hunter x Hunter ” were his responses.
