One Piece fans slam \u201csexualized\u201d Bonney bath scene Toei AnimationOne Piece is often a trending topic in the anime community \u2013 but a new episode has sparked controversy over its \u201csexualized\u201d animation of Bonney in a bath scene. 2023 was indeed a good year for One Piece, with the anime, manga, and Netflix live-action series leaving no stone unturned to add to the success of the series. When the Wano arc ended in the anime after running for so long, fans were thrilled to dive into the new Egghead Island arc that commenced on January 7, 2024. However, before the anime could garner praise for the battles or Luffy\u2019s new adventures, Toei released a controversial scene in the latest episode featuring Jewelry Bonney. While fans were thrilled to see Bonney back on their screens, they weren\u2019t exactly happy with the character\u2019s portrayal in one particular moment. One Piece sparks controversy over Bonney bath scene Jewelry Bonney is a character who ate a devil fruit that allowed her to manipulate her age. So, she can become an elderly adult or an infant if she wishes. Even though Bonney\u2019s age is never revealed in the anime, avid manga readers already know that she\u2019s 12 years old. Episode 1090 saw Jinbe save Bonney and Luffy\u2019s life \u2013 but the scene that came after has become quite contentious. It showed Bonney taking a bath after taking her clothes off. It\u2019s not explicit, as the nudity is more implied, but fans familiar with her actual age took issue with it. Fans took to social media, where many of them commented that she\u2019s technically a kid and that the animators sexualized the character for fan service. \u201cBonney is originally 12 years old Her devil fruit allows her to age up and down. She is STILL mentally 12. She is STILL 12,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cFor those who don\u2019t know, this is a gentle reminder: Bonney\u2019s true age is 12 years old. Keep this in mind before watching the episode tomorrow,\u201d another commented. \u201cToei so f**king foul for animating bonney like that now theres gonna be even more discourse on whether it\u2019s okay to sexualize her or not and [I know] for a fact some of you freaks will purposefully not recognise the fact Bonney is 12 YEARS OF AGE,\u201d a third wrote. The community has demanded an apology from Toei, but the animation studio has yet to release any statement addressing the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
