Happy Birthday Fukuzawa Yukichi-sensei!

To celebrate Fukuzawa Yukichi’s birthday here are his top three quotes from my blog:

Quote #3:

Men are neither devils nor serpents. They are not out to harm you. Let us receive people in a natural way, with true and open minds.

- Fukuzawa Yukichi, An Encouragement of Learning

Quote #2:

Being educated does not mean knowing strange words or reading ancient and difficult literature or enjoying poetry and writing verse and other such accomplishments which are of no practical use in this world. These accomplishments do give much pleasure to the human mind, and they have their own values, but they are not to be esteemed and worshiped as much as the usual run of scholars have tried to make them out to be…. Therefore, this kind of learning without real use should be left for another day, and one’s best efforts should be given to an education that is relevant to everyday use.

- Fukuzawa Yukichi, “Encouragement of Learning I” from Fukuzawa Yukichi on Education

Quote #1:

It is easy to find fault with and complain about all things in society, but it is very difficult to find remedies for these faults.

- Fukuzawa Yukichi, “Methods of Bookkeeping” from Fukuzawa Yukichi on Education

How many times do you think atsushi wished he could’ve done this in the original battle? How long do you think he probably ran the scenario over and over in his head on how he could have saved Akutagawa and now he finally got the chance

OMG JUST UNCOVERED: SHORT SEGMENT OF THE ANIMATION MEME I THOUGHT I HAD LOST FOREVER T O T!!!

For some reason, I find this scene really cute. It’s right after Usopp absolutely decks Klahadore (Captain Kuro) for running his mouth about Yasopp and even questioning if he’s really Usopp’s dad. Usopp storms off, feeling like crap, sitting at the cliff overlooking the shore, tossing rocks into the water—when suddenly, Luffy pops up right in his space and goes, “Here you are!” because he’d been looking for him. Not just to find him, but because he knew Usopp needed validation. He knew Usopp was Yasopp’s son, and more importantly, he knew Usopp was his. Luffy could tell Usopp felt like sh*t, and in the most Luffy way possible, he sought him out—not with a big speech, not with some grand gesture, but just by showing up. Because sometimes, that’s all you need.

People love to downplay Usopp and act like he’s not one of Luffy’s closest friends, but moments like this prove otherwise. His arc really highlights just how selfless Luffy is when it comes to the people he truly cares about. In this scene, Usopp was already his, and Luffy had already claimed him—Usopp just hadn’t caught on yet. Luffy had basically said, "You're my friend. I like you. And I'm gonna help you." And Usopp, completely oblivious, just screams at Luffy for scaring him.

Honestly, isn’t that the sweetest thing? That’s why, when they argue and clash, it just hits different. Because they love each other—sometimes a little too much, to the point where they don’t always know how to give each other what they need. But that’s what makes them them.

People say Zoro and Luffy are in sync, that they’re soulmates in battle, but Usopp is the one who can hurt Luffy the most—yet also lift him up in ways no one else can. Yeah, Luffy’s the captain, and he’s supposed to be mature and responsible, but Usopp is the one who reminds him that he’s still just a 19-year-old. That sometimes, things aren’t that deep. But other times, they are, and Luffy needs someone to tell him that.

Usopp is the one who looks at the insanity of the Grand Line and says, “This sh*t isn’t normal.” And I think that’s what truly makes him Luffy’s in a way no one else is. Even if he can’t support him like his wings in battle, Usopp is the one who, in a moment like Marineford, could have told him, “What happened to you wasn’t normal. And you don’t have to pretend it is.

That’s why Usopp is his.

Hey sskk shipper, come here. Sit down. Listen to me please. If in ten years bsd ends and there's a time skip and Atsushi and Lucy are married with kids we are NOT going to hate on Lucy. We are NOT going to blame or disrespect or insult her. We are NOT going to hate on one of the very few women with a protagonist role of this franchise just because we may disagree with the author's writing. Okay? Thank you for listening to me, you can go.
