One Piece flag ban hits Jakarta as Minister Natalius Pigai outlaws anime pirate banners ahead of Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day, invoking Law Number 12 of 2005 and referencing United Nations protocol. Top searches: “Is flying anime flags illegal in Indonesia?” and “Are One Piece flags banned?” One Riau resident, Kharik Anhar, shrugs off threats: “There is no article that prohibits people from raising flags of characters, football clubs, or animations at home or in vehicles.”

Pigai’s UN-backed flag ban, paired with Kharik Anhar’s pirate defiance, triggers WhatsApp warnings and neighborhood surveillance in Riau, as “Can police arrest you for anime flags?” and “What happens if you break flag law in Indonesia?” spike. Surreal visuals abound: red-and-white flags flanked by Luffy’s skull, while local RT heads are deputized as pirate-spotters. “We reject the labeling of subversion against the people’s creativity,” Kharik insists, while community units prep for a symbolic mutiny.

Authorities now instruct neighborhood chiefs to report any household flying a One Piece flag to the Babinsa, transforming Jakarta’s suburbs into a low-key pirate surveillance grid.
