Round One
Big Mom Family (One Piece) VS the Buendía Family (One Hundred Years of Solitude)
Buendía Family art from Folio Society, by Neil Packer
Big Mom Family
Members: Linlin “Big Mom” Charlotte, Katakuri, Pound, Cracker, Big Mom's 82 other children, and her 43 husbands
Propaganda:
"They are a giant family that is also a pirate group. Everyone is married and born to fulfill Big Mom’s desire to have a family. Basically all of them hate each other."
"Big Mom...so first let me note that this woman marries a man for her poliical convenience, gets pregnant, then divorces him as soon as she has his kids. She maintains complete control over the destiny of her children. They will join her pirate crew, they will fight for her, they will marry as she asks, they will grow up to serve her. They won't know their dad, or anything else, and she will even kill them when she doesn't get like a food she asks for, for instance."

The Buendía Family
Members: Úrsula, José Arcadio, Colonel Aureliano, Amaranta, Rebeca, Remedios, another Jose Arcadio, Arcadio, 17 Aurelianos, Aureliano José, Aureliano Segundo, José Arcadio Segundo, Fernanda, Remedios the Beauty, Meme, another José Arcadio, another Aureliano, Úrsula Amaranta
Propaganda:
CW: Pedophilia, murder, self-harm, suicide, rape, incest
"Well, the original patriarch José Arcadio bankrupted everyone with his get-rich-quick schemes and went insane, their child Aureliano was obsessed with and married a child, his sister Amaranta considered killing her sister Rebeca over her getting married to the man she was also in love with until Rebeca fell in love with her adopted brother José Arcadio instead, which their mother drove them out for. Then José Arcadio got mysteriously murdered. Amaranta felt so guilty about wanting some delay to the wedding so she wouldn't "have" to kill Rebeca that she refused the man they were in love with when she finally had the chance and drove him to suicide, which she felt so guilty about that she horribly burned her own hands. Then she borderline molested her nephew Aureliano José when he was a child (she never went as far as actual sexual acts but spent a lot of time with them both naked, leading to Aureliano José developing an obsession with her when he grew up). Also José Arcadio (the adopted brother who married Rebeca) had a child at 14, and said child Arcadio unknowingly tried to sleep with his mother Pilar Ternera. Aureliano Segundo, Arcadio's son, married Fernanda and they had a miserable marriage, and when their daughter Meme fell in love she had his lover shot and he got paralyzed, then sent Meme to be a nun where she never spoke again and locked their child Aureliano in a room for his childhood. Aureliano then tried to rape Ursula Amaranta, who was actually his aunt but he didn't know, but she decided she liked him more than her husband and had sex with him willingly, until she died in childbirth and their child got eaten by ants. Yeah it's a weird book."

There was a reference in my book to some part in the beginning but I couldn’t remember from when, luckily, the author was kind enough to remind me, we’re both well aware that this thing is almost 500 pages long and I read past midnight when my brain doesn’t work.
