  • Pirates, Justice and Global Order in the Anime 'One Piece '
    PIRATES, JUSTICE AND GLOBAL ORDER IN THE ANIME ‘ONE PIECE ‘ "Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? (St. Augustine City of God, Book 4, Ch. 4). DRAFT, work in progress…do not quote without permission I. INTRODUCTION The manga/anime (Japanese cartoon) titled ONE PIECE telling the story of the pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his crew is one of the most successful Japanese cultural products of all time. The first volume of One Piece was published in 1997 and it has been published weekly ever since. It has sold over 430.000.000 million copies worldwide (70.000.000 outside Japan) and it has set already years ago the world record for "The most copies published for the same comic book series, by a single author."1 Although One Piece is the most successful Japanese manga series there are many others -like Dragon Ball or Full Metal Alchemist 2 - with fans around the World, making Japanese manga not only a successful export product, but many believe also a source of Japanese soft power (Bouissou 2006). This in the case of One Piece is especially true for East Asia, with many young readers in the region being inspired by the manga to turn their interest towards Japan (Hirai et al. 2014). Although such products of popular culture are produced mainly for entertainment purposes, we should not dismiss the reflections they make about the social and the political world, as it is recognized that they do not only depict, but also construct identities, shape security narratives and form our world, explaining why scholars increasingly turned their attention to their study (Weldes and Rowley 2015).

  • Odyssey of the Cultural Narrative: Japan's Cultural Representation In
    Global Media Journal-Indian Edition; Volume 13 Issue1; June 2021.ISSN:2249-5835 Odyssey of the cultural narrative: Japan’s cultural representation in Eiichiro Oda's One Piece Manish Prabhakar Singh Research Scholar, H.N.B. Garhwal University Uttarakhand Abstract One Piece is a Japanese Manga series drawn by Eiichiro Oda and published serially in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since July 1997 and continuing with the same popularity. It portrays the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, who dreams to become the Pirate King. He gained the properties of rubber after eating a Devil Fruit and is exploring the Grand Line along with his crewmates(The Straw Hat Pirates) in search of the eponymous legendary treasure 'One Piece' left by the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger. What makes this particular manga unique is Oda's representation of Japanese culture and tradition. He also uses some features similar to Ukiyo-e artworks, i.e., the woodblock art prints, which were targeted at the mass audience and also share thematic similarities. The influence of Ukiyo-e and Oda's love for Japanese art, along with its culture, folklore, and myths, is clearly seen in the ongoing Wano country arc. One Piece today has transcended the boundaries of manga, turning into a pop culture sensation in Japan. In the research paper, to apply the analytical and descriptive methods to the research, the original work, as well as the secondary sources available in the form of criticism, will be used. In my research, I will also try to apply the perspective of Cultural Studies.

  • RINGKASAN One Piece Merupakan Manga Dan Juga Anime Paling
    RINGKASAN One Piece merupakan Manga dan juga Anime paling populer di seluruh dunia. Kesusksesan One Piece berawal dari tahun 1997 di Jepang dan masih berlanjut sampai saat ini. One Piece merupakan karya fiksi Eiichiro Oda yang bercerita tentang seorang remaja (Luffy) yang ingin mewujudkan cita-citanya untuk mengarungi lautan dan menjadi seorang raja bajak laut. Banyak hal menarik dalam cerita One Piece, salah satunya adalah penokohan, dimana penokohan dalam cerita One Piece memiliki keunikan dan sangat beragam. Tokoh yang menarik bagi peneliti adalah Tenryuubito. Tenryuubito merupakan bangsawan tingkat tinggi dunia di dalam dunia One Piece yang memiliki kekuasaan tak terbatas dan sangat luas, akan tetapi kekuasaan yang didapat Tenryuubito sangat bertolak belakang dengan logika berkuasa di dalam dunia One Piece. Kontradiksi antara kekuasaan yang dimiliki Tenryuubito dengan logika berkuasa di dalam dunia One Piece menjadi perhatian peneliti. Peneliti berusaha mencari tahu kekuasaan, otoritarianisme dan bentuk-bentuk penindasan yang direpresentasikan di dalam Anime One Piece. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori kekuasaan milik Michel Foucault. Metode yang digunakan ialah metode kualitatif deskriptif dan memakai analisis narasi struktural milik Vladimir Propp. Proses penelitian berawal dari pengumpulan data berupa scene yang menayangkan cerita Tenryuubito, kemudian dilanjutkan ke tahap analisis data dan interpretasi data. Hasil yang didapat kemudian disajikan secara deskripsi kualitatif kemudian ditarik kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa One Piece tidak hanya menjadi sarana hiburan semata akan tetapi di balik jalan ceritanya yang luas terdapat unsur-unsur dunia nyata yang direpresentasikan di dalamnya seperti kekuasaan dan otoritarianisme. Kedua hal tersebut melekat pada tokoh Tenryuubito yang digambarkan sebagai salah satu penguasa di dalam dunia One Piece.

  • Access and the Construction of Fan Identity: Industry Images of Anime Fandom
    . Volume 14, Issue 1 May 2017 Access and the construction of fan identity: Industry images of anime fandom Lucy Miller, Texas A&M University, USA Abstract: Access to content is a concern for many American anime fans, who view themselves as responsible for attracting content from Japan. In this context, American anime distribution companies have constructed two images of anime fandom: disciplinary and participatory. The former focuses on fans self-policing for the economic success of the industry and the latter positions the company and the fans as equals in a shared community. The online discourse of two anime distribution companies, FUNimation and Crunchyroll, are analyzed for the ways they rhetorically construct these images in order to persuade fans to support the economic success of the industry. Keywords: access, anime, fandom, identification Anime distribution companies in the United States have long sought ways to persuade the niche audience(s) that exists for anime and related fan interests to purchase their products. A look at anime advertisements in the magazine Animag from the late 1980s to early 1990s reveals heavy use of text describing the VHS tapes the anime series and movies were available on, pictures of the tapes themselves, a short blurb about the series or movie, and a small picture of a character or group of characters (O’Mara, 2010). This style of advertising would be familiar to fans of comic books, sci-fi novels, and model kits who might be interested in anime as well. A dedicated anime fandom was not the focus at this time of the industry’s advertising efforts, but magazines in the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as Animerica and Newtype USA, show a shift in advertising strategy to featuring large, glossy pictures of the characters that were meant to attract the attention of anime fans who are assumed to be heavily invested in those characters and the elements that make them up (for more on the relationship between fans and characters, see Azuma, 2009: 53).
