Marvel Rivals, since its release, has risen to prominence as one of the top video games globally. Initial skepticism about the game swiftly vanished as it attracted more than 440,000 active users shortly after its launch.
The game has garnered acclaim for its gameplay mechanics and character designs. Among the introduction of iconic characters is Mr. Fantastic, whose popularity has surged. A recent trailer showcases an intriguing transformation where Mr. Fantastic expands his body, evoking comparisons to Monkey D. Luffy’s Gear 4th ability, where Luffy inflates himself for enhanced strength.

Following the trailer’s release, fans of One Piece quickly drew parallels between the two characters.

The popularity of One Piece continues to soar, as evidenced by its numerous collaborations. In 2024, Puma launched a line of sneakers inspired by the characters known as the Four Emperors. The unique designs quickly sold out within hours, leading Puma to announce a re-release for fans unable to secure their pairs initially.
One Piece Reigns as the Leading Anime Series
- The One Piece anime is set to return in April 2025.
- The manga has achieved over 500 million copies sold worldwide.
One Piece stands as one of the most beloved manga series of all time, and with the story still unfolding, the sales figures are likely to climb even higher.
The One Piece anime is currently on a break, having paused since last year to ensure that production quality remains top-notch. Instead of releasing new content, the studio is airing remastered episodes of the Fish-Man Island arc to maintain audience engagement.
Viewers can stream One Piece on Crunchyroll for continued enjoyment.
