** Melon is the shadow archetype of Legosi's and Haru's future children. As the offspring of a carnivore and a herbivore, Melon has suffered from debilitating health issues all his life, which the children of Legosi and Haru would inevitably suffer from as well. Legosi resolves that even if he can't protect his children from having to suffer as Melon did, he can at least treat them with love so that they won't turn into axe-crazy serial killers.

** Riz is what Legosi could become if he let his predatory instincts consume him so much that he'd kill someone he cares about. To say Legosi did not take seeing this dark reflection of himself well would be an understatement.

** A good number of adversaries of Monkey D. Luffy were once idealistic young pirates like Luffy, except they witnessed a horrible incident and either became disillusioned with the world, resorting to unethical means to get what they want ([[TheChessmaster Crocodile]], [[AristocratsAreEvil Doflamingo]]), or outright ''snapped'' and went insane ([[{{Necromancer}} Moriah]], [[FantasticRacism Arlong]]); and some others ([[ManipulativeBastard Kuro]], [[DirtyCoward Don Krieg]], [[EvilIsPetty Hody Jones]]) represent basically what Luffy, as a pirate himself, simply is not and would not do. Luffy himself had ''almost'' lost his optimism when [[spoiler:his brother Ace was executed by the Marines in front of him]], but he had close friends to lift his spirits during his darkest moments, whereas all of those villainous characters were alone during theirs. Trafalgar Law is an AntiHero case, who is Luffy's equal in potential and influence but let the tragic events in his past consume him, causing him to become moody and unconcerned in the present. Same with Eustass Kid, who has the same passion and dreams as Luffy and even respects Luffy for that but won't hesitate to kill bystanders who disagree with him.
