Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Aoashi focuses strongly on merit, skill development, and teamwork. Characters of diverse backgrounds are present but their personality, growth, and drive are center stage, not identity politics. There's little evidence the story sacrifices narrative for ideology, or hands out special treatment based on identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series upholds themes like family, discipline, and traditional sports values. Masculinity, ambition, and mentorship are treated positively. There’s no overt undermining of cultural or family values; instead, ambition and teamwork are celebrated, aligning more with non-woke sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Aoashi does not villainize traditional or alternative worldviews. Characters come from a variety of backgrounds and have differing motivations and approaches. There isn’t a strong push for ideological uniformity, and opposing perspectives are respected within the team dynamic.
