The recent One Piece episode faced a major animation issue involving Sir Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, one of the Five Elders in the series. In one of the scenes, the One Piece character had six fingers, which led to anime fans calling out the animator Tatsuya Miki, who worked on the episode, for using AI in animating the installment.
After the animation mistake became a huge topic of discussion on the internet, Miki issued a public apology and confirmed that he didn’t use AI in creating the One Piece episode. He pointed out that he simply forgot to count the fingers, and somehow it passed all the checks. Miki confirmed that it was his own drawing, and there was no involvement of any kind of artificial intelligence tools.
Nusjuro’s AI Allegations Caused a Massive Uproar Against Tatsuya Miki
One Piece Episode 1149 featured a scene where Nusjuro is battling against the Straw Hat Pirates, Bonney, and a bunch of giants who are trying to escape from Egghead. In the scene, Nusjuro takes out his sword to unleash a powerful attack on his opponents, but what made this scene intriguing was the number of fingers on his right hand. The fact that the One Piece character had six instead of five fingers became a trending topic on the internet.
One Piece fans noticed this major animation flaw in Nusjuro’s appearance and quickly took to social media to discuss it. There were multiple tweets and Reddit comments about how the animation of the series is top-notch, but these kinds of small mistakes leave a major mark. Some anime fans even targeted Tatsuya Miki for using AI in creating the One Piece episode, which is a serious allegation considering the anime industry’s general opinion about AI.
