A TikToker named Otaku Void has sparked outrage among Japanese anime and manga fans due to a shocking lack of knowledge. Not only did he make serious factual errors, but his confusing mix-ups left netizens speechless.
The controversy began with a video titled “Mangaka Who Never Sexualize Female Characters.” In this list, the creator named prominent figures like Hayao Miyazaki, Hajime Isayama, Eiichiro Oda, Koyoharu Gotoge, and Junji Ito. The video quickly reached Japanese viewers and was met with harsh criticism for its glaring ignorance.
Mistaking One Piece’s Author for Zelda Game Producer
The biggest blunder that had Japanese fans laughing in disbelief was the TikToker using a photo of Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the Zelda game series, to represent Eiichiro Oda. This basic mistake suggested the channel was only chasing views without any real understanding of the creators they discussed.
Japanese Fans Mock Claim That Eiichiro Oda Avoids “Sexy” Content
Including One Piece’s author on this list was seen as the most ridiculous joke of the year. Japanese netizens left numerous sarcastic comments:
– Oda not sexy? He openly admits to loving drawing curves!
– Just look at Nami or Nico Robin, Oda’s style is very clear. It’s so distinctive that people take it for granted.
– Clearly no understanding of manga. If Oda didn’t know “sexy,” then no one in the world does.
Other Controversial Names on the List
Besides Oda, including the creator of Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) also drew criticism since the series features an entire “Red Light District” arc full of suggestive imagery. Some fans even mentioned Jujutsu Kaisen and Naruto, arguing that One Piece is actually much more provocative compared to other shonen titles.
