US age ratings of One Piece 

With a history spanning nearly two decades since its first US airing, One Piece has resonated with multiple generations. However, as we delve into the age ratings, it becomes apparent that this swashbuckling tale carries more mature undertones than meets the eye.

When you envision a show centered around a stretchy pirate lad and his quirky ship with a sheep's head, the initial assumption might be that it's geared toward a younger audience. Yet, that presumption takes a tumble when we peek at the US Netflix rating. The One Piece anime proudly dons a TV-14 label, indicating that it may encompass elements like suggestive dialogue, intense violence, strong language, and even intense sexual situations. The Federal Communications Commission chimes in with a "Parents Strongly Cautioned" advisory, pointing out themes of fear, nudity, self-harm, smoking, and substances.
