Week 1 (open): My favorite episode of "One Piece"

I like anime and manga. 

Today, I write about my favorite episode from the anime called One Piece.



My favorite episode of One Piece is "答えを探して 火拳のエース戦場に死す".





Summary of the episode

Luffy, who is the main character of One Piece tries to save Ace, his older brother. He beats a lot of enemies and reaches him. But while they are escaping from the enemies, Ace dies to save Luffy from one enemy. Ace understand that he will soon die and says what he want to tell to Luffy. 

(Luffy's parents are different from Ace's parents.)

Ace is the son of the most famous pirate, which means he is the son of the criminal. He has been searching for the answer to the question, "Was it good that I was born?". He has been hated by many people just because his father was a pirate. But after he became a pirate, he met a lot of friends who he can trust. And he sees that they try to save him risking their lives.

Ace's last words is "Thank you for loving me."








What I was really moved by

I was really moved by his last words, "Thank you for loving me", of course. I'm sure that he really doesn't like that his father was a famous pirate. He thought no one loved him, or needed him. He had a lot of sad experiences because of his father. But, Luffy, and his pirate friends never care about it. They regard him as a man, a pirate, a friend.
 I've never discriminated, nor discriminated because of my parents. So, I may not understand how sad he is. But, I can understand how happy he is when he sees that his friends tries to save him risking their lives. 
Actually, he didn't want to live on because he think he is not worth to live or something. But his minds is changed by seeing his friends and his little brother. He really wants to live on. I learns how important love is. It can change people's mind, and it can save people mentally.
I guess Ace was a really terrible man who cannot trust people, who cannot love others, and who cannot love himself. 
Thanks to the people around him, he understands that they really love him, and this is very joyful to him.
So, his last words "Thank you for loving me" is really impressive to me. It's really simple words, but it express Ace's gratitude or happiness to his friends, or even to his life.





What I learn from this episode

Firstly, I learn that discrimination which is caused by unfair reasons hurts people. I have never met people whose father or someone is a criminal. But I sometimes see that kind of people in movies or drama. That discrimination really hurts them. People cannot choose their parents, brothers or sisters. So, it is unreasonable that people discriminate others because of their family.
I don't know how to stop their discrimination. What I can do now if I meet that kind of discrimination is not to do that even if all people around me are doing that. 

Secondly, I learn that how important the relation among people is. People cannot live alone, and they need people to live with. To tell the truth, I'm poor at getting along with others. I do not know how people around me feel when they are with me. Am I kind enough? Am I mean? Am I funny? Am I noisy? I don't know. But, I don't think I have to be a good friend to my friends, or I have to be a good daughter to my parents. I believe that I have to be honest to myself, and that I don't need to pretend. Then, I will understand them, and they understand me really. This is what I think is most important about the relation with others. In the episode, I see that Ace's friends love Ace himself. I hope and believe that I will find that kind of people. Maybe, I have one or two that kind of people and not notice it. Then I'd like to notice that wonderful people are with me.




----------------------------------------------------

One Piece is one of my favorite manga/anime. And this episode, I really really like it. I don't know how many time I've watched it. 
When I was a little kid, I just enjoy the story. 
Now I'm a university student, and I guess I have to learn something from it. That will make my life better.
