Shueisha Cracks Down on One Piece Leak and News Accounts — onepiece.media

PLACEHOLDER — illustration to be generated

A structural shift in the fandom, worth every fan’s attention: through 2026, Shueisha has been issuing copyright strikes against major One Piece accounts on X — including news and leak aggregators with follower counts in the hundreds of thousands, among them @pewpiece (410,000+ followers) and Redon, one of the community’s best-known chapter-news figures.

What’s happening

The strikes target accounts built on rapid-fire posting of unreleased content and leaked material — the “chapter spoiler economy” that has grown around the manga’s weekly release. Shueisha has paired the strikes with broader enforcement that in recent years has included landmark lawsuits against piracy operations and takedowns reaching even fan art.

Our position — and why this site exists

We won’t pretend to be neutral here: this site is built to prove fans don’t need leaks. Everything we publish is sourced from official announcements, published after official release times, and safe to read for people who want to enjoy the story the way its creators intended. The accounts getting struck aren’t villains — most loved the series enough to build audiences around it — but the model was always walking a cliff edge.

The leak era is ending. Official channels — Manga Plus for free same-day chapters, VIZ for the full catalog — are faster and cheaper than ever. The future of One Piece fandom is clean, and it’s already here.
