One Punch Man and One Piece labeled the most toxic fanbases on Twitter

Before we dive into the studies, let us understand the methodology that was used here.

UberFacts first curated a comprehensive list of idols and fanbases from various sources. Following that, they used Twitter API to find 1000 tweets from 100 unique followers from each fanbase account. These tweets were then analyzed with the help of NRC Lexicon, which calculated the percentage of negative and positive words.

The next step was to rank the fanbases based on the number of negative words per 1000 words, culminating in the top ranks for One Piece and One Punch Man.

When One Piece fans were called out for being negative, one fan responded with sarcasm and a few others joined in. The fanbase seemed unfazed by the study as suggested by the comments on the Twitter thread.

One Twitter user came close to inciting another argument that is quite common on social media platforms. One Piece is one of the most comprehensive universes in anime. It's a vast world, and having over 1000 episodes is a result of exploring this vast world.

One Twitter user stated that the One Piece fanbase had all the more reason to be negative if they were forced to watch over 1000 episodes of mediocrity.

Meanwhile, netizens were trying to understand how Attack on Titan was ranked lower than One Punch Man.

While AoT is truly a wonderful show known for its intricate plot, its fanbase has earned a reputation for being toxic. Despite this, the fanbase being ranked below One Punch Man was shocking to a few.

Netizens continued to express their shock over One Punch Man being ranked the highest among anime titles for negativity.

ONE and Yusuke Murata's manga series might not be as popular as some of the other titles for being negative on Twitter. That being said, there are plenty of fans who instigate Twitter wars against other titles stating how Saitama could potentially solo the entire universe.

Final thoughts

While this study is well-conducted and thorough, it does not deal with an extremely large data set that is an accurate representation of the fanbases. It is a fun study that anime and manga fans can look at to indulge in the occasional banter, With the rise in popularity of anime, the fanbases are only growing larger. There is also an increase in the overall number of anime titles that are being produced as the years progress.

It is advisable for fanbases to just enjoy the shows that they love. Partaking in the occasional banter is fun, however, when things cross a line it tends to get very negative and leads to heated arguments.

Stay tuned for more anime and manga updates as 2023 progresses.
