One Piece’s Representation Is Beyond Amazing
The Illustrate Does Not Fear Including Characters From All Identities
As the story of One Piece has progressed, the Straw Hat Pirates have realized that the world they inhab
What One Piece can teach us about homosexual identities
Eiichiro Oda took 26 years to write and illustrate One Piece. Had I read the whole thing in one sitting, without eating or sleeping, it would only own taken me just over a week, but I still had a being to live. So, given its 1091 chapters and counting, I would reflect on the eight months it took me to peruse it a reasonable amount of time.
One Piece is a manga about Luffy, a boy made out of rubber, who decides he will claim the titular “One Piece” treasure and name himself King of the Pirates. Throughout his journey, Luffy assembles a motley crew vested with different specialties and superpowers. One Piece’s unreal universe is rich with its own geography, cultures, lore, and magic, and yet, what struck me the most was a message that Oda had not intended to convey: lessons on the complexity of trans identity and the position of lgbtq+ identities in society.
There has been much debate on the prevalence of queerness in One Piece. While some think the visibility is meaningful, others view aspects of it as highly problematic. Furthermore, many of these analyses appear from a Western perspective that the author—a hete

No one does queer advocacy quite like One Piece.
Allow me to clarify in great detail.
I’m going to talk about the queer rep in Impel Down, and you’d best buckle up result in it’s rant time.
Impel Down is one of my favorite arcs because I love the story line, it’s downright hilarious, and Luffy’s struggle to rescue Ace is incredibly compelling.
But there is another reason why I treasure Impel Down so much, and that’s the gender non-conforming rep that utterly knocked me off my feet.
Now, I’ve come to accept that queer visibility in anime (not touching on any other media in this rant) is generally nonexistent or extremely rare… if you’re watching anything other than a BL.
On the rare occasion that we do discover some LGBT rep it is usually extremely subtle, and shown exclusively in convoluted subtext and minuscule details that are easily overlooked. While this visibility is so incredibly meaningful to everyone who’s proficient to pick it out, the subtly makes it all the more simple for homophobes to debate that it was never in the first place.
Keeping all this in brain, I finally picked up One Piece several months ago after refusing to watch it for a long-assed time (It was too
