"The role of a genocide survivor is played by a Russian? While the Russians are committing genocide in the center of Europe? It's like a German playing a Jew in 1945," another fan added.

Some "One Piece" fans said they would ignore the series after the news because they disagreed with the views of its creators: "Have you ever thought about what it's like for Ukrainian fans when you choose a Russian actress? You had a lot of talented actresses to choose from, but you chose the one from a terrorist country. For me, this series is dead. I'm unsubscribing from your service."
