While Eiichiro Oda’sOne Piecehas some of the most entertaining characters in the history of the anime and manga industry, there are some who have also received a lot of hatred. This hatred has increased to the point where they have joined the list of the most hated characters in anime. However, the most shocking thing is Tony Tony Chopper is on the list.
AsOne Piecefans know, Chopper is the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates who joined them after the Drum Island arc. He is one of the oldest characters inOne Pieceand holds a lot of significance considering his ties with Luffy and the rest of the crew. While he is known for his cuteness and unintentional humor, Chopper is also one of the most hated in anime.
The reason for it has not been perfectly explained, but the hatred has increased to the point where he has a Reddit page of his own that is dedicated to posting hate posts and comments about the Straw Hat Pirates’ doctor. If there is anyOne Piececharacter who should not receive this kind of hate, it is Chopper.
The significance and hype of Tony Tony Chopper
Ever since Chopper was introduced in theOne Piecenarrative, he has held the title of being one of the cutest characters in the series. He is a type of reindeer who ate the Hito Hito no Mi, which allows him to transform into different transformations of human hybrids at will. These transformations depend upon the situation he is facing inOne Piece.

Chopper has been one of the oldest Straw Hat Pirates, as he joined the crew before the Alabasta arc. His childlike personality is often used byEiichiro Odato introducehumor and gagswithin theOne Piecenarrative, which has subsequently reduced considering the seriousness of the final saga. However, this does not reduce Chopper’s significance in the story.
In fact, as of now, he is one of themost anticipated charactersfor theOne Piecelive-action adaptation series, which is streaming on Netflix. The second season of the series is about to hit the world in some time, and the hype around Chopper’s introduction is quite high.
The reason behind Chopper’s hate is unknown
While Chopper is extremely significant to theOne Piecenarrative, he has, for some unknown reason, also become one of the most hated characters in the history of anime.
The hate has reached the point where people have built communities around it trying to prove why Chopper is annoying and does not deserve the importance he is given.
One reason for this hatred is that Chopper doesn’t contribute much to the story’s main narrative. Almost every member of the Straw Hat Pirates has some kind of connection to the central storyline except for Chopper. He has not fought any significant character since the Fish-Man Island Saga inOne Piece.
Thus, it is possible that some fans believe that Chopper’s significance in theOne Piecestoryline has reduced with time and he might not be relevant anymore.
