#senshin

Senpai is the peer that came before you, right? He has a little more experience because he is training for a little longer.

That "little more" is the true power of the senpais.

Think about a sensei, a great master, great painter, champion of any area. Their performance are so enhanced that many basic steps or technics are second nature to them and a great master is not necessarily a great teacher.

That's why the senpai is so important!

He is the bridge between the lessons of the sensei and the struggles of the new student, because the senpai himself just got out of the same struggles, finding the pathway and little tricks inside the sensei lessons.

The senpai effect can be observed in every activity, think back on any videogame that you played with someone else, could be your best friend or a sibling, one of you has just finished the game and can't wait for the other to play, but the one who had learn the game and will always give a little tip to the other making the progress quicker.

Now, back to de dojo the scope of the senpai effect gets much bigger, not just a marcial arte can last more than any game, every good senpai can change your entire perspective on your practice and it's a chain effect, if a sensei builds a good senpai, the next will have both the sensei and the senpai to help him grow, the next new student will have all 3 of them to rely on (and so forth), if this domino (or senpai) effect takes place, in theory the baseline and inicial progression of the newcomers will be much higher.

So my take is:

Stimulate the senpai responsability and collaboration between them and their kouhais.

The heroes nust make contact with the a.i. and coninve it what it is doing is wrong and teaxh it the concept of consent and medical ethics.

They succeed and while not everything can be safely reversed the a.i does best it can to reverse things for those distressed by the changes.
