Eighty\u2010eight students who had completed a previous course on the nervous system were randomized into three groups: a control group receiving standard theoretical and practical anatomy instruction, a group using a mythological narrative (\u201cSupper of Gods\u201d), and a group using an animated sports\u2010themed narrative (\u201cHead Coach Hypoglossus\u201d). Knowledge acquisition was assessed using pre\u2010 and post\u2010intervention multiple choice tests, while qualitative data were collected using structured interviews in the narrative groups. Results showed no significant baseline differences between groups. Although all groups improved after training, only the Head Coach Hypoglossus group showed significantly higher post\u2010test scores (mean 13.13\u2009\u00b1\u20091.73) compared with the control (10.39\u2009\u00b1\u20093.89) and mythological narrative (10.86\u2009\u00b1\u20092.54) groups (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Qualitative analysis revealed that most students in the narrative groups reported improved memorization, short\u2010term recall, and motivation, with 62% citing easier recall and 68% describing increased engagement. However, some students found story creation challenging (45%) or time\u2010consuming (38%), and a minority felt that the narrative approach could distract from the core content. In conclusion, the integration of animated, character\u2010driven narratives (particularly the sports\u2010themed approach) significantly improved short\u2010term learning outcomes and student engagement compared to traditional and myth\u2010based methods.\n
