While One Piece is not a series that gets into that much controversy, it was recently pulled into one when they revealed the real age of one of the characters from the series: Jewelry Bonney. The controversy involved the age of the character and how she was shown in the original story were completely different.
Jewelry Bonney in One Piece
In the anime and the manga she was shown as an adult woman but her age was later revealed to be 12 years old which she was hiding with the powers of her devil fruit. As there were some debatable scenes in the series, the real age of the characters made them more and more controversial.
However, One Piece is not alone in this move of hiding a character’s age and depicting them as much older than they already are. Another anime that shares a similar connection with One Piece...

The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village arc has been nominated for Anime of the Year at the 2024 Anime Awards and I couldn't be more excited. Year after year, arc after arc, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba leaves me downright breathless.

The Demon Slayer franchise continues to do everything that needs to be done to take it to the top of the shonen category, with the series definitely holding one among the highest places of the category currently. And although the animation and the artform in general is probably the main reason, it would be also interesting to see how the third season fares in terms of context.

The third season of Kimetsu no Yaiba, aka Demon Slayer, premiered its finale today, and right afterward, it was announced that the show would definitely be returning for its fourth season. The finale ended with the slayers killing Hantengu, the Upper Moon Four, and now they need to train even harder to face off the remaining demons. But the question is, “Who are these demons, and where did they come from?” Also, who was the first demon, and why did he create all these monsters in the first place? The progenitor of demons on earth is called Kibutsuji Muzan, and today we take a look at how Kibutsuji became a demon in the Demon Slayer anime.

This Demon Slayer review contains spoilers.
Demon Slayer Season 3 Episode 7
“You don’t need a reason to help people.”
At first glance, the title of the latest Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba episode, “Awful Villain,” has a very straightforward meaning. Hantengu and Gyokko represent some of the deadliest demons that Tanjiro has ever faced, but “Awful Villain” asks the audience to consider if it’s perhaps Tanjiro and Nezuko who are the real enemies in this story. “Awful Villain” is a Demon Slayer entry that’s still dense in combat and twists. However, the episode’s primary goal is to argue that the recent massacres of these Upper Rank demons are actually justified and are for the greater good, while the “heroes” represent the real problem.
This is a powerful idea to entertain, but it’s unfortunately not fresh territory for the shonen series. Demon Slayer has successfully made its audience empathize with past villains,...
