  There are quite a few important themes in Dune: A deep respect for Ecology  (Sandtrout -> Sandworms -> Spice -> Sandtrout...). The importance of perceiving the underlying worm/spice life cycle is echoed in nearly every other plot element in the series as well. "Bio-tech" in the shape of complex human systems  - there are no technological wonders in the Dune universe akin to most sci-fi. Everything important, from mentats, genetic programs and even prescience and to a degree space folding is predicated on tapping human mental ability and control. Manipulation of historical forces  - just as the Landsraad and Harkonnen especially were held in check via Shaddam's political maneuvering, the intense religious fervour that is part-in-parcel with the unforgiving Fremen life on the sands is similarly exploited by Paul and Jessica.

He is so innocent for a pirate that it is actually worrisome. He is generous and kind His unadulterated sweet nature is too much to ha...

  Berserk Plot Summary The Black Swordsman At the start of the Berserk anime we see a mysterious man who calls himself the Black Swordsman (a.k.a. Guts) entering a town, seeking to battle the town's ruler. In a rage, and to draw Guts to him, the evil ruler starts burning the town and slaughtering people. Guts shows up and seemingly kills the ruler. However, the ruler then turns into a huge serpent monster and proceeds to beat Guts to within an inch of his life. Just as Guts looks to be dead, he blows a hole in the monster with a hidden arm-cannon. Guts then grabs his huge sword and cuts the monster in half.

The castle is occupied by a group of young mercenaries (the Band of the Hawk) led by a young man named Griffith. Defending the castle's entrance is a huge knight called Bazuso. A young Guts shows up and kills Bazuso in one on one combat to collect the reward m...
