There are several streaming services where fans can watch the episodes of the anime One Piece. However, soon a YouTuber could expand the offer and provide the episodes completely for free.
How is this possible? The YouTuber IShowSpeed suddenly announces during a stream that he is allowed to show all episodes of One Piece without being held accountable by the production company.
He allegedly received permission from “the producer.” The YouTuber did not specify who exactly granted him permission. However, he is said to have been placed on the “whitelist,” so he cannot be legally prosecuted for showing One Piece in his stream. Thus, he would be the first YouTuber allowed to do so.
What would this mean? Since IShowSpeed is an English-speaking YouTuber, he will presumably show the episodes with English dubbing or with English subtitles. This way, fans could catch up on the complete anime of One Piece if the streamer does indeed show the episodes. However, it would likely include comments and pauses from IShowSpeed.

Anime fans doubt the official permission
Can this be true? In the Reddit forum, many users are skeptical that such permission could even exist. They believe it cannot be that a producer as an individual can determine for the entire production studio.
They suspect that the producer is employed by the company responsible for the streaming rights in the US. This would bypass the Japanese original studio Toei Animation. Therefore, users believe that IShowSpeed could still be prosecuted.
Who is the streamer? IShowSpeed is one of the largest streamers worldwide. He is a talented shooter player, rapper, and even shows dangerous stunts on his channel. The YouTuber is also known for his hyperactive personality: He once barked at a 6-year-old boy.
Now it could also be that the YouTuber is allowed to stream the anime of One Piece. However, since he will likely incorporate his own comments and probably show it with English voice acting or subtitles, the stream may not be suitable for everyone.
