English needs a better translation for 野望. (Yabou, a Japanese word, which is in most dictionaries as ambition / aspiration, but's one of a few ways to say that. If you have the Pokemon theme song memorized: "I want to be the very best, that no one ever was": *that's* yabou.)

One of the interesting comparisons of narrative: in English-language literature, the hero has greatness thrust upon him, and often resists this before relenting. If there's someone who starts in adversity and just wants to achieve mastery, that's probably the bad guy.

I think ambition is an overrated actually. The desire to reach a never-ending sequence of successes can hardly ever yield satisfaction. I grew up in the EU though
