One Piece’s Record-Breaking Episode Sparks Concerns Over Review-Bombing
In a surprising turn of events, the latest episode of One Piece, titled “Entering a New Chapter! Luffy and Sabo‘s Paths!” has earned the highest rating ever on IMDb, standing at an impressive 9.8/10 from over 6,000 reviews. While this achievement is celebrated by many fans, it has also ignited fears among the One Piece community that jealous fans from rival series might engage in negative review-bombing.
The episode marks the commencement of the much-anticipated “Egghead Island” arc adaptation from Eiichiro Oda’s manga. Sabo, the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, finds himself entangled in a disruption as he seeks to clear his name in the eyes of the law, leading to a mysterious eavesdropper threatening to interfere with his plans.
Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews praising the animation quality and faithful adaptation of the beloved arc, concerns have surfaced online. Some fans worry about potential backlash from followers of competing shonen series, particularly Boruto and Attack on Titan fandoms, which have been known for engaging in review-bombing activities against perceived rivals.
Previously, Episode 1015 of the One Piece anime reportedly suffered from negative reviews attributed to fans of other series. In response to the news of Episode 1089’s record-breaking rating, some fans expressed apprehension and even suggested deleting the announcement to avoid encouraging rival communities from downvoting the episode on IMDb.
