INDONESIA-POLITICS-PROTEST-ANIME

A graffiti of the pirate flag from Japanese anime One Piece, adopted by some Indonesians as a symbol of frustration with their government, is seen on a street in Sukoharjo, Central Java, on August 6, 2025, ahead of the country's 80th Independence Day. As Indonesia's independence day approaches red and white flags will be flown across the country, but a viral anime pirate banner has drawn government threats against flying the swashbuckling ensign. A Jolly Roger skull and bone symbol topped with a straw hat from Japan's anime series 'One Piece' has caused concern among officials in Jakarta that it is being used to criticise President Prabowo Subianto's policies.
