* ''Manga/FairyTail'': The series is infamous for laying the "friendship solves everything" moral rather thick. While ThePowerOfFriendship is common amongst shonen, ''Fairy Tail'' in particular earns scorn for frequently using the "friendship" speech to have the protagonist pull a HeroicSecondWind to suddenly beat an opponent that was just curb-stomping them moments ago. It's even {{justified}} in-series by many types of magic receiving a boost in power from willpower and strong emotions, of which friendship is often one of the strongest they draw on.

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': WarIsHell and you cannot escape responsibility for your actions. Even when it's revealed that the war in Ishval was started as part of an ancient conspiracy (and the order for outright genocide given by a key player ''of'' that conspiracy), Mustang, Hawkeye, and the other sympathetic veteran characters point out that they felt their orders to be wrong and carried them out anyway. Mustang's own ultimate goal is to get himself to the top of the military dictatorship, then end it so that he can be put on trial for war crimes. On the personal responsibility end, the Elric brothers refuse to take any route back to fixing themselves that would hurt other people when it was their own actions that caused their misfortunes. [[spoiler:They even refuse to let their father expend his own energy towards it--Ed sacrifices his own ability to do alchemy instead.]]

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Freedom is good, and taking away someone's freedom is [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil just about the worst thing you can do to someone]]. Nearly every story arc has this message front and center, but nothing comes as blatant and unsubtle as the ultra-privileged World Nobles who are basically living embodiments of this moral, as they treat other human beings as playthings and slaves at best, and are able to enslave anyone they want with no consequence, or just trash to be tossed aside - they're made so comedically heinous it winds back up into being horrible, and they're [[EvilMakesYouUgly drawn as ugly and uncool as possible]] so that there's not even a shred of EvilIsCool about them. Every single time the World Nobles appear it's as if Eiichiro Oda himself is repeatedly smacking you over the head with the core moral of the story.
