In the Chopper Man universe, Tony Tony Chopper is depicted as a mantle wearing superhero, with members of the Straw Hat Pirates featured in various different roles (mostly villains). The story parodies the superhero, and Super Sentai genres, as well as One Piece itself. It was also the first omake to appear within the anime, airing alongside Episode 279. After this Chopper Man became so well liked by fans that the animators decided to give him his own entire episode, Episode 336. In this episode the characters from the omake are joined by the giant robot Frangashan played by Franky.
