The rivalry between the wings (Zoro and Sanji) of the future Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy, has always been one of the most heated discussions among One Piece fans. While one-half of the fandom is always rooting for Zoro and his achievements, the other half is always pointing out the injustice that has been done to the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, this time the Sanji fans have targeted Toei Animation, the production studio that animates the One Piece anime series, and called them out for butchering a specific scene from the manga that highlights one of Sanji’s moments. The scene takes place during their fight against the Seraphims, and fans are not happy with it.

Chapter 1113 of One Piece brought with it the biggest revelation ever made in the history of the series.

Fans believe that this catastrophe could result in the end of the One Piece universe or that it could start the final war between the Straw Hat Pirates and the World Government.

Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece, experienced the most significant growth in his strength during the time skip. After losing his brother Ace and almost losing his crew during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Luffy decided that he and his crewmates needed to grow their strength to face the upcoming opponents.
Strawhat Pirates in One Piece
Time Skip is one of the greatest narrative aspects used by manga creators like Eiichiro Oda and Masashi Kishimoto. Although the major role of a time skip is to fast-forward a narrative, they also tend to improve the strength and abilities of the main characters. The only problem with them is that they also increase the age of the characters.
However, Oda, in one of his interviews, revealed how he tackled this problem. He intentionally introduced the two-year time skip so that Luffy and his crew wouldn’t grow too much in age...

The anime genre is one of the biggest and most widely known sources of enjoyment, boasting countless shows. Despite the numerous anime available to the audience, the indisputable fact remains that One Piece is the greatest anime and manga series out there. Consequently, Oda sensei is often regarded as the greatest mangaka ever.
Franky in One Piece
The One Piece world is immense, with numerous characters introduced ever since its debut on July 22, 1997. The ability to draw so many characters who are different from each other highlights the exceptional drawing skills of Oda sensei. However, despite his remarkable talent, there is one character in One Piece that he finds challenging to draw. If your guesses are either Zoro or Luffy, you would be mistaken. The individual most difficult to draw is none other than Franky Shogun.

The wings of the Future Pirate King, Roronoa Zoro, and Vinsmoke Sanji might be in the same crew, but as One Piece fans know, they do not see eye to eye with each other. They have been at each other’s throats since the beginning of the series and this rivalry has only gotten stronger since then.

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece has introduced many rivalries in the series, however, none are as interesting as Zoro and Sanji’s rivalry. With a pinch of comedic elements, this rivalry makes the storyline especially the battles more interesting.

Alzheimer's and its consequences for the family dynamics is a staple diet of international, festival-friendly cinema, as we can see year after year. Usually, the very topic is used to tell a terminally tragic story, but other roads are also possible. How about a journey of reconciliation?
This is the case with Patrick Dickinson's “Cottontail”, developed from his earlier short “Usagi-san” (2013). The film premiered at Rome Film Festival last year, bringing its auteur the award for the best debut (fiction) feature. It was also screened at Belgrade International Film Festival – Fest, just before its release in Japan, which is, in its own merit, a success for a small indie that is predominantly a British co-production.
However, the story starts in Japan, where recently widowed former writer Kenzaburo (Lily Franky) has to come to terms with his beloved wife Akiko's (Tae Kimura) passing as the consequence of Alzheimer's. In his stubbornness,...

The Straw Hat Pirates have been on an adventure in the world of One Piece for almost 30 years. The crew has enjoyed many happy moments but has also faced many sad situations together.

One Piece anime fans have expressed concerns about the health of veteran voice actor Kazuki Yao following recent changes in his voice acting performance.
Yao, who has been the voice of Franky, for nearly 20 years, has reportedly been experiencing slurred speech in his latest portrayal of the character. This has sparked discussions on social media, with many expressing worry and offering well wishes.
The concerns stem following the premiere of the new Egghead Arc in One Piece. Fans noted a noticeable difference in Yao’s speech patterns during the episode that aired on Feb 14, 2024, particularly in a scene where Franky struggles to steer the ship in rough seas. Some viewers found his dialogue difficult to understand due to the slurring.

One Piece manga is currently at the climax of the Egghead Island arc. The Straw Hats are busy fighting the Marines, and the Giant Pirates have joined the battle to aid Luffy’s crew. While Egghead Island is on the verge of destruction, the panel shifts and focuses on another part of the world, where Catarina Devon and Van Augur of the Blackbeard Pirates were present.
They were approached by Caribou. Caribou is the captain of the Caribou Pirates and made his debut after the time skip. He had a bounty of 210 million berries and had infiltrated the Thousand Sunny to travel with the Straw Hats. In the latest One Piece chapter, he revealed his wish to join the Blackbeard Pirates. He joining the Yonko crew would be similar to serving him the world on a golden platter.

All photos by Daryl Harding It's one thing to watch Spy x Family but it's another to walk around in its world. To celebrate the release of the Spy x Family Code: White anime film in Japan and the New Year's holiday, the series set up an interactive exhibition that I had the lucky chance to experience. And boy, I was excited (or should we say waku waku ?) to play all the games the exhibition had on offer. But, I wasn't the only one waku waku for the series. Being held in Ikebukuro, you couldn't go down the main Sunshine Street without coming across the Forger family. Banners featuring the characters were on light poles, and music from the series blared out of the speakers, putting a spring in everyone's step as they heard "Soulsoup," "Todome no Ichigeki" and the rest of the franchise's wonderful soundtrack. This all led to...

Hiding one’s identity using an alias, a made-up family, is a commonplace trade secret in the world of espionage. In order to infiltrate and extract confidential information, more often than not, spies have to live a dual life by creating a persona, an entire world of their own, to deceive the public. But even this well-known backdrop, tinged with supernatural elements, intelligent comedic flair, subtle commentary on social expectations, and usual Shounen zaniness, can create a unique and memorable narrative, as shown through Mangaka Tetsuo Endo’s seminal work Spy x Family. It is of little surprise the immense popularity of the manga has been followed by similar appreciation in the anime adaptations of the series as well.
With equal parts action, thrill, humor, and heart, Spy x Family veers more towards the slice-of-life genre of manga than traditional shounen ventures. Revolving around the unlikely family members consisting of protagonist trio Twilight,...
