The fandom of One Piece holds it in high regard as ‘peak fiction’ because of its exceptional storytelling and worldbuilding, a rare combination in the vast world of anime. This admiration is not just limited to the fandom, as many authors have been inspired by Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece and have entered the industry to create their own manga series. This is a testament to the greatness of One Piece, solidifying its place as one of the greatest works of fiction.
Nevertheless, a school teacher elevated this inspiration by creating a lesson entirely focused on the references of Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece. Furthermore, the teacher’s captivating sketches added to the appreciation of the series’ fandom for the lesson and showcased the teacher’s passion for fiction as they introduced their class to the ‘peak’ of the series.

A teacher introduces One Piece to his class through his physics lessons
On August 30, 2024, a user named X shared photos of a whiteboard from a physics class at a Spanish school. The whiteboard featured illustrations from One Piece that were used to illustrate various principles of physics.
The illustration of the Going Merry included explanations of gravitation potential energy, also known as weight, and how objects can float on water. Additionally, the sketch of a devil fruit was used to demonstrate wave motion and the concept of sinking in water.
Another image on the whiteboard depicted a drawing of Luffy, with his mouth stretched out, illustrating the concept of Tension (stress). The final drawing on the whiteboard showed Luffy (picking his nose) and Chopper (attempting to hide behind a bar, in line with their personalities) as an explanation of thermal expansion and its impact on the buoyancy of an object, represented by the sketches of Going Merry.
Reaction from the Fandom
As anticipated, the fandom was unable to contain their excitement when they learned that their beloved series was being used as a teaching tool in a school setting. While some members of the fandom expressed their skepticism about the series’ impact, one fan showered the teacher with praise for their exceptional teaching and artistic abilities.
The fan community further expressed their enjoyment in this type of education. Additionally, one fan recalled a TikTok video where a user utilized the fight between Blackbeard and Law on Wiener Island to explain the concept of triple integrals (calculus).

Final Thoughts
To be truthful, studying can become tedious after a certain amount of time, making it difficult to stay engaged. Incorporating enjoyable activities into lectures could be an effective method of keeping students motivated. This could potentially make studying enjoyable for the entire class, particularly for those students who are familiar with anime and can connect their lessons to it.
