One Piece will soon adapt a tragic backstory, with a leaker sharing the character design of young Kuma — but fans aren’t ready for it.
One Pieceanime is currently following the Egghead Arc of the Final Saga and it will soon adapt Kuma’s backstory. The former Revolutionary has been one of the fan-favorite characters ever since the truth about him helping the Straw Hats came to light. He was considered their enemy in the beginning, but he sacrificed a lot to help them.
He was turned into a Pacifista and then became a slave. However, fans didn’t know his entire past and the fact that he’s Bonney’s father until the Egghead Arc. Kuma’s backstory shocked the entire fandom as it features the darkest side of the Celestial Dragons.

A third fanquoted: “Just looking at this character sheet and I’m already shedding tears.”
“People be like ‘anime onlys aren’t ready’ but I’m sure many manga readers will also not be ready to see this animated,” a fourthcommented.
