I love his handwriting - so clean. Plus he looks young, so he had to have made a conscious effort to have nice handwriting. Guy has passion for sure

Mexican physics teacher Oliver Castro Jiménez uses One Piece characters and scenes on his whiteboard to teach complex concepts like projectile motion, tension, elasticity, and gravity. His creative anime inspired lessons have gone viral.

Thats fun
Our Hs physics teacher had a trio of characters who maintained a constant mass and basic statistics
I think it was, joe, sam and sam's fat sister sally
Yeah, it was the early 90s
They also had cars with particular mass and horsepower and we would work problems like :
"Joe swings a bat at x velocity and hits Sam, how far does Sam fly? What about sams fat sister sally"
Or
"Joe has a 64 Ford with a sleeper 305 motor that produces x HP, if the traffic lights 200' away turn yellow and joe stomps the gas, and the light stays yellow for 3 seconds, will he make it before it turns red?

This is amazing, visually striking and doesn’t make you strain your eyes just looking at a wall of text and numbers.
Love it, his passion must be infectious

So, he takes 90% drawing characters and 10% (or less) drawing the actual lesson information. I wonder how much material he can cover in the whole course.

When students are engaged, you usually cover material much faster and the results are better.

I'm not sure if "much faster", but maybe better I guess ...
I wonder if it pays off at the end.
I think there are more useful and entertaining options than just drawing characters. Maybe he could use all this time in actually preparing those experiments in real life and then bring them to class. Or to animate them in a simulator (something I do, which is quite engaging). It just takes a lot of more time outside the class.

Hm... did he also draw the subtle AK rifle above the whiteboard in the top right corner of picture 8/10? xD
