MrBeast responded to complaints from some One Piece fans who felt he was only getting into the anime because it’s currently popular.
Okay, so the whole drama started when MrBeast changed his profile pic on X to Luffy from One Piece. It blew up instantly! Before that, he actually asked his followers if he should finally start watching One Piece, but he said he was a little intimidated by how many episodes there are – like, a lot of episodes! It just kind of spiraled from there, honestly.
MrBeast announced he’s become a fan of the anime series after seeing support from fans and creators like iShowSpeed, even changing his profile picture to show it. While many welcomed his support, some criticized him for only getting involved now that the anime has become widely popular.
