Nigel Ng also posted the same update on his Twitter and added his thanks to the YouTube team to which they responded with a friendly acknowledgment. No additional information was released regarding the dropped copyright strike from Toei. However, Nigel Ng mentioned a joke that the decision must have been related to MSG, one of the running gags of his Uncle Roger videos. Aside from ONE PIECE, Nigel Ng/Uncle Roger also previously made a cooking review video of Shokugeki no Soma: Food Wars!

This isn’t the first instance of anime copyright claims on YouTube by Toei. YouTubers Mark Fitzpatrick of Totally Not Mark and TeamFourStar, the group behind Dragon Ball Z Abridged received copyright claims from Toei in the past. In a similar situation, Suede‘s Pokémon Journey series received a copyright strike when Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions (Sho-Pro) filed a court complaint over their channel. There is no concept of fair use in Japanese law, which generally covers reviews in the West.

scripts for season 2 are already ready!
