New One Piece color spread of the series’ most prominent women features a female character headcanonned by trains as a man. Another instance of invalidation

Anime Drama! and it’s one piece! my favorite!

Context

There’s been a long-standing HEATED debate over whether Kaido’s daughter, Yamato, is trans (FtM) because she identifies as Kozuki Oden. Moreso, it’s because she wants to be like him and idolizes him. If Oden was an amorphous slime, so would she. Basically an obsession. Yamato is the character below

The trains’ arguments come from a scene where she bathed with men and a few instances where Kaido called her his son.

The chud:chudglassesglow: counteroffense is that Oda, the author of One Piece, has gone on record in an SBS (little end of volume question column) saying she’s a woman, it’s in her official vivre card character profile, and her character introduction on reveal is “Kaido’s daughter” and that her identity as Oden is “self-styled”

Drama :yotsubafish:

Oda recently published this color spread with a lot of the series’ most prominent women

What’s even more notable, but went under the radar was the exclusion of Kiku (MtF) who is about the best representation that trans people will ever get in popular shonen anime. No fetish, not weird or grotesque, and both a strong and somewhat reasonably developed minor character. See below

Excellent post and the formatting is just :marseychefkiss:

Oda like most Japanese men has always had a very bad image of women. You'll notice how the female characters in One Piece are either 10/10 Gigastacies or grotesque creatures. He received a lot of criticism but casually brushes it off like it is not a big deal. I mean it isn't and I'm certaintly not the type of man to complain about muh mysoggyknees in manga but given how popular One Piss is you'd expect a more diverse depicition. Thank god, we have the hideous :marseytrain2:s in OP to remind ourselves who the real enemies are, r-right? I don't even know what I'm writing here and I have no idea who Kiku or Yamato even are but the seethe this page generated is insanely funny to me. Anime/Manga fans are very easy to one piss off and it is always a delightful meal or something more accurate like a cola light.

Also, I never really noticed how ugly One Piss actually looks. Well, I should rather say new OP as the panels are cluttered, full of reactions and other misc. shit that deters the reader from actually reading. I have once heard it described as 'visual noise' and that seems very accurate. Anyways, One Piss sucks for like what 5 years now and I hate it.

Oda has wanted to become a LN author for the longest time as evidenced by his latest chapters, some new chapters of one piece are all dialogue.
