One Piece Mangaka Eiichiro Oda Faces Backlash for Upcoming Interview with Rurouni Kenshin Mangaka Nobuhiro Watsuki
- Thread starter Yukari
- Start date
You're not wrong.
And I bet this is largely western backlash.
yep, the fact that they still celebrating 25th Anniversary Rurouni Kenshin is saying something about community in japan
I mean doesn't really change how disgusting this actually is. And I'm pretty sure Japan has just as as many folks that are upset about that.
The sales numbers for the Rurouni Kenshin Hokkaido manga, the upcoming live action movie releases and the very fact that there is an exhibition being held says otherwise, I'd think...
My view is that it's not really any of our business considering we don't know them personally (including their relationship) but hey, the Internet's going to Internet.
I was JUST thinking today "boy I sure am glad Oda hasn't been involved in some scandal!", while introducing One Piece to a friend.
Definitely not a good look :/

From what I can tell, this is true, but it's no excuse.
This place is always quick to judge people, except when their favorite video game is involved, so I'm not surprised.
It's totally not our business if Oda wants to conduct interview with his teacher, and there's like 0 harm in that.
Watsuki is disgusting, but I wouldn't expect his previous assistant to totally cut ties with him.
Oda might have owed him a lot for his current success.
Yeah, unless this is coming from inside Japan, it won't mean a thing to them.
I'd agree with you if they were doing this on their own time. But publicly holding an interview together means it's open to commentary, no?
Pretty much It's ordered from Shueisha to promote exhibition event.
200,000 Yen Fined.
User Warned: Inappropriate generalisation.
Given Japan's view on stuff like this, not surprising, unfortunately. Blegh.

Not sure about that, but to celebrate the start of the Reiwa era, Inagaki (writer for Eyeshield 21, Dr. Stone) had a bunch of Jump authors over at his house to celebrate, and they also did a compilation of a sketches for his 8-year-old son.

“うちで令和最初の宅飲み。最近ジャンプ漫画にハマり始めた長男くん8歳のために、皆さま（＆パパ）が即興で寄せ書きをしてくださいました！長男くん、このありがたさが分かるのは何年後だ…！！”

Exactly. If Oda wants to stay in contact with the guy, go for it. But an interview like this? Nah.
$1,900 fine.
Wow that's it! So he's just gonna be more cautious with his child porn because that fine is laughable.
Yeah, that site and Yellow Flash are both hardcore parts of Comicsgate.
No, idea about comics gate but i already edit out.
Does, resetera have a blacksite list?
I thought Kenshin would have been shoved under the rug and given no attention, but the industry is celebrating it? Reminding me of all the celebs clapping for Roman Polanski's movies.
A few mean tweets doesn't really constitute a backlash. It's a super shitty decision on Oda's part to do this - and I don't support it and feel people are right to criticise - but until the Japanese fanbase pick it up and there's a noticeable decline on sales, all this is is a few prominent westerners tweeting out their disappointment.
Given that the two of them have a history together, I can understand the want for an interview, but I really wish it wouldn't happen.

You are making an offensive generalization.
Pedophilia is definitely not ok in Japan, and those so called otaku who likes loli are looked down upon there.
I mean Japan is the country who literally has loli porn not forbidden.
You can buy child idol dvds, where children are in swimsuits, licking white icecream.
A manga and anime industry which sexualizes drawn children and teenagers.
A world known mangaka, who got a slap on the wrist for CP and still continue in the industry and apparently not many in Japan see it as bad.
An AV industry who still has a "loli genre".
A pop idol industry with underaged girls in miniskirts.
Indeed. Desensitization.
I'm not surprised tbh, if the Rurouni Kenshin IP didn't die or the guy wasn't blacklisted after the sentence, then this is really a japan's society issue here.
Disgusting btw, but they consume loli crap so again, not that surprising.

Revised law banning child porn possession goes into effect
A revised law banning the possession of child pornography in Japan goes into effect Wednesday. Previously, only the production and distribution of child porn had been banned, not its possession. The Diet enacted the law in July 2014, but in order to encourage disposal of material, the penalties...

Also as I said, people who likes manga sexualizing little girls are in extreme minority and looked down upon in Japan, just as it is everywhere else.
Loli section in AV is not only present in Japan. Child pornography also exists in other countries, including west.
Maybe stop with the offensive generalization if you have no clue what you're talking about.

I always wondered why the whole loli stuff got so much popular in recent years and considering that the article is from 2015, I may have my answer now...

Are you stupid?
How can they be in the minority, when even long running Shounen manga series and anime sexualize underaged children.
Or one of the most profitable mobile games FGO with designs like Wu Zetian.
And loli sections in AV isnt present? Sorry, but seems you do not have a clue what you are talking about. These are not real underaged actresses, but petite actresses in titles such as "petite loli sister everyday" and whatnot together with Shotacon.
Furthermore you still have child idol gravure DVDs.
Junior idol - Wikipedia
Not just that. There are still child idol DVDs for sale where children are wearing bathing suits, licking on icecream cones, getting dirty with the "white melted icecream".
You have JDramas, where the "Oh you are a lolicon" is played for laughs.
Then you have the real AV industry, which also has a particular "loli" niche.

It really is undoubtedly disgusting. It isn't just Oda either it's the entirety of Shueisha that's giving Watsuki a pass. This just happened last year in May:
All of these manga-ka were at a party together which I believe was hosted by the Dr. Stone manga-ka but I could be wrong on the later thing.

I Don't sure this can count.
But Sanji x Pudding on WCI Arcs can consider being child marriage since Pudding is 16.
Recently which Toei show like Hugtto Precure and Ryusoulger have something like that.
It's fucked up to see this. There have been no real consequences for the RK author at all. Just other industry people being accepting of him.
deeply upsetting and disappointing.
one stroll through some of the shops in Akihabara or Nakano is all you really need to see bro lmao

He was arrested for possession of child pornography.
How anyone can even share a room with him without dying inside I'll never know.
