After watching the Luffy vs. Kizaru fight in One Piece recently, fans began calling it "overanimated," suggesting that too much was happening within the frames during the scene. Many tweets and comments about the issue went viral on social media, eventually catching the attention of animator Vincent Chansard, who later responded to the claims. The animator said, 'I'm not sure what overanimation would mean; one guy is literally the god of the sun, and the other is literally light.'
Following his statement, fans were divided while some agreed with him, others did not.
Fans react after One Piece animator Vincent Chansard addresses overanimation claims in Luffy vs Kizaru fight
There's no denying that the Luffy vs. Kizaru fight was truly epic and became one of the most remarkable moments in the anime's recent episodes. However, the 'overanimation' made it 'hard to follow', a sentiment fans continue to express even after Chansard's clarification. Some however also said that more than the animation, the sound design was a problem.
One wrote, 'I had more problem with the sound than I did the animation personally.'
Another added, 'I think it was hard to follow in some parts only but not as a whole, like "what is happening here".'
A third went on to add, 'People are not confused because g5 skills are hard to grasp due to being a god nor kizarus skills due to being light, its a problem of the animation direction and how they chose to portray it.'
Also, it's important to note that one of the animators, Sota Shigetsugu, had called out the bad sound production in One Piece. He had written in Japanese, 'Toei should urgently fire the sound team for One Piece. That's not the work of professionals.'
Is the Luffy vs. Kizaru Fight in One Piece overanimated?
The fight between Kizaru and Luffy was undoubtedly a thrilling, high-stakes event. As admirers describe it as both a visual masterpiece and "hard to follow," however, the discussion about anime's animation quality and direction keeps expanding.
What are your thoughts? Was the fight overanimated, or did it push the boundaries of anime storytelling in a good way?

'I thought I was in trouble': Dodgers prank turns sweet as Dave Roberts gifts Shohei Ohtani's daughter a little pink Porsche
'I thought I was in trouble': Dodgers prank turns sweet as Dave Roberts gifts Shohei Ohtani's daughter a little pink Porsche (Image via Getty) A fun gift exchange between two Los Angeles Dodgers stars is warming hearts. Dave Roberts, the Dodgers' manager, recently gave a very special gift to Shohei Ohtani's newborn daughter. The gift? A pink toy Porsche. The moment was captured in a video and shared by Shohei Ohtani on his Instagram page. This sweet gesture follows a light-hearted joke that started between the two men last season. Dave Roberts surprises Shohei Ohtani's baby with playful Porsche gift On Wednesday, June 5, 2025, during a press talk in Los Angeles, Dave Roberts shared the story behind the pink toy car. The idea came from a running joke between him and Shohei Ohtani. He said, 'We had a little running practical-joke situation going on, but this was a gift for the baby.' Shohei Ohtani replied, 'I thought I was in trouble.' Dave Roberts and his wife Tricia Roberts gifted the mini pink Porsche after Shohei Ohtani and his wife Mamiko Tanaka welcomed their first child on April 19, 2025. While the couple has not shared their daughter's name, this thoughtful gift added a warm and funny moment to their new chapter as parents. Ohtani's reaction? 'He was very grateful,' Roberts said while smiling. The fun exchange also shows the strong bond between the Dodgers teammates and staff. Also Read: Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani eyes third consecutive MVP award with red- hot performance in MLB Sweet continuation of the Porsche prank between Shohei Ohtani and Dave Roberts This was not the first time a toy Porsche made its way into the Dodgers' clubhouse. The joke started in May 2024, when Shohei Ohtani broke the Dodgers' record for most home runs by a Japanese player. The record was earlier held by Dave Roberts, who was born in Japan and played for the Dodgers during his MLB career. At the time, Roberts joked that Ohtani should gift him a real Porsche. Instead, Ohtani gave him a purple toy Porsche for his office. He later placed another toy car in Roberts' parking spot at Camelback Ranch in Arizona during spring training in March 2025. This playful gifting didn't stop there. Back in December 2023, when Ohtani joined the Dodgers, he gifted Ashley Kelly, wife of Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly, a real Porsche. This was a thank-you gift after Joe Kelly gave up his jersey number 17 so Ohtani could wear it.

Hyderabad embraces Ikebana art
On the occasion of International Ikebana Day, observed annually on June 6, the Ikebana International Hyderabad Chapter #250 brought together enthusiasts and practitioners to celebrate this serene Japanese floral art through a thoughtfully curated exhibition titled 'Hana Sensu'. The word Sensu, which means 'fan' in Japanese, formed the central theme of this year's showcase and each arrangement uniquely blends flowers with traditional or fan-like elements. Ikebana, which literally means 'a way of arranging flowers', is far more than just arranging blooms in a vase. Rooted deeply in minimalism and mindfulness, it's a meditative practice that encourages harmony with nature. The calmness of this art form was felt throughout the exhibition space as delicate compositions captured the beauty of both space and silence. Krishnaveni, one of the participants, explained her inspiration behind the arrangement: 'We're using fans either Japanese or otherwise, as part of the Ikebana arrangement. The idea is to keep it minimal, allowing negative spaces to speak, and incorporating elements from nature like dry wood or bamboo. Ikebana is a very Zen-inspired art form; it's calming rather than attention-grabbing, and it reflects the quiet power of nature.' Her work reflected the core principles of Ikebana that is simplicity and natural flow.
