Additional Context:
An animator for the anime “One Piece” faced backlash on social media for their depiction of the character Jewelry Bonney in a bath scene in episode 1090. The controversy stems from Bonney’s abilities, derived from the Toshi Toshi no Mi (Age-Age Fruit), which allow her to change her age. While she appears as a woman in her early 20s, she is canonically only 12 years old. This led to criticisms and harassment of the animator, as some fans felt that the scene sexualized a minor character, despite the character’s adult appearance being a result of her powers.
The animator, known as KDA on social media, received a range of negative comments, with some people accusing them of sexualizing a child. However, many fans defended the animator, pointing out that they were simply following the character design and direction set by “One Piece” creator Eiichiro Oda. The animator responded to the controversy by stating that they were unaware of Bonney’s actual age while working on the episode and apologized for any misunderstanding, but not for how Bonney was depicted.
This incident highlights the complexity of depicting characters in anime who can transform their bodies and ages, as well as the challenges animators face in interpreting such characters. It also reflects the growing concern over the harassment of artists and animators by online communities over their work.
