Blackbeard (Edward Teach) is a real person? See One Piece character and parallels.

Like One Piece, Berserk isn't romantic. They aren't specifically anyone's hero. They have a rough life. But they keeps on pushing.

Shanks saves Luffy from a sea beast. He shows complete mastery over his mind. First, he saves Luffy without any regard to his arm that is bitten off. Second, he directs and focuses his attention and anger at the sea beast. His anger is focused and redirected.

"It's only an arm. It's no big deal" says Shanks

One Piece Ep 4.

Not a mindless army of individuals but a team and crew of spirited and individuals led people leads to great heights. Luffy and Shanks his crew are all well rounded individuals whereas Gecko Moria wanted to build an army of mindless people.

One Piece is about friendship.

Example of a teacher pressed into multiple-choice tests for evaluation for time constraints on grading.

He falls prey to the teacher's guilt of feeling they need to grade every single essay written. This may be possible at the higher paid levels of university teaching with incredibly low student to teacher ratios, but not at the mass production level of public education.

While we'd like to have education match the mass production assembly lines of the industrial revolution, this is sadly nowhere near the case with current technology. Why fall prey to the logical trap?

08:00 didn’t tell all his life problems

• see Zoro “nothing happened”

Movies as portraying limited existence, but sometimes “signs” of consciousness

• In my opinion, well made movies, show a lot of signs of consciousness. See, for example, LOTR, with the rhoririm charge where there is a collective consciousness forming, or the scene in which Shanks stops Akainu.

"To summarize, I am prepared to conquer all hurdles in my path to achieving the career of my dreams so that I may contribute to my society. I am a firm believer in the concept of dreams coming true."
