Anime's Deadliest Serial Killer DESTROYED Me...

[@DangerDan64]

Inuyashiki is a perfect example to prove, "Power doesn't corrupt, it enables!" -Omniman MK1

[@oOSonicexeOo]

It’s also the fact that most of the time we have no idea what someone will do with that power until they already have it and no one can stop them doing what they want wether it be good or bad until after they’ve done the thing they wanted

[@sonicboomers122]

I could be wrong, but the guy who made the manga wrote Gantz and, I think, Terrorformars. He was annoyed at how much bigger One Piece was than his work, so he thought it would be Funny to make the main Villain a One Piece stan.

[@Nverdis]

That's petty

[@Donovarkhallum]

​@@Nverdisthere's zero evidence of that. If anything he dislikes all modern work

[@SamTheGumMan117]

The authors name is Hiroya Oku, and he did write/make the art for Gantz and Gigant, too, plus this, but that second part I've never heard was true, but think he just didn't get the appeal of OP or something like that from a random interview I remember faintly seeing he did.

[@SoulTaker78]

No, Oku didn't make Terra Formars. That's Yū Sasuga as the writer and Kenichi Tachibana doing the art for that. The manga has been on hiatus for a while but it just came back this month.

[@Slasher9485]

Yeah it was the same person. That's why there's Gantz posters here and there.

[@RobertoTomas324]

The point of the show was to subvert the idea of some random teen getting powers and becoming a hero. So instead the old man who lived his life in service to others stays good. But the teen gives in to his darkest thoughts.

[@simz88]

Hiro is most definitely a doflamingo fan

[@isaiascanete6651]

Oh yeah no doubts

[@JohnSmith17048]

The one thing also that just absolutely horrifies me about this show is he is not necesarily even a superweapon, he is just how they ended up repairing him. “My bad, lemme just, yeah, that looks good enough, lets go type of thing. Like these things are so advanced that it doesnt click that what the people they changed would even be all that different. At least how described here, unsure if the aliens knowingly made the people this powerful

[@Johnmaloney1962]

In the show I’m pretty sure they were panicking and when one suggests they fix the humans another says “with what?” And a third goes “we have some planet destroying super weapons, we could use those” and then they do, and run before the space cops can show up

[@JohnSmith17048]

@@Johnmaloney1962 that is hillarious and kindof what I expected minus space cops. I was thinking they were going for a more Roadside Picnic vibe if you are fammilliar, if not its basically the plot of the stalker games if that helps. Sounds interesting either way.

[@filipvadas7602]

This series really shows the difference between being kind and just being harmless. Inuyashiki , the protagonist, chose to do good and tried to not hurt anyone or abuse his power even though he very much could. Whereas Hiro is just a straight up psychopath who is choosing to live out every intrusive thought he's ever had. Showing that he was always a budding serial killer deep down who was just harmless because he didn't actually have the *power* to act on his fantasies Power doesn't corrupt, it reveals.

[@adrammelechthewroth6511]

True.

[@kyrem13]

"At this point you gotta wonder what even is the point of the show? And the answer is simple. No one knows." Jokes aside Imma be honest I thought the point of it was to show the comparisons and dichotomy of what 2 opposing personalities who were given this crazy "ultimate power" would do with said power. The old man who, despite leading a very shitty life, still after given the power only wanted to help people. Mend old relationships, help those in need, heal the sick. Then there's of course Hiro who lead a very simple school life up to the point he got his powers and is still quite young and immature, ends up going on an insane psychopathic power trip to live out some kinda sick and twisted power fantasy. Young v old, immature v mature, psychopathy v empathy. It has been years since I've seen the show so I don't remember the details but I think this was kinda like, y'know the point.

[@rext.b.4436]

That's nice and all. Sad that the ending is a complete asspull trying to make the absolute psychopath a martyr. That's some mega BS

[@soilderzero2982]

@@rext.b.4436 not really, it was established that Hiro cared about his family and friends. the only reason he save the world was because he still had people he cared about, so even to the end he was still selfish.

1:44 "Grandma got unloaded on" -Nux 2024

[@aaronwrighton2271]

I know nux is making jokes but the show is really deep and has a pretty clear point. It's about what you choose to do with power and valuing life in general versus valuing lives only close to you. And its about what it means to be human. Essentially the reason the boy kills is to feel something. The reason the old man saves lives is to feel something. They both find value and joy in using thier powers in the way they do. But hiro sees himself as a protagonist experimenting with his powers and sense he doesn't care about people outside those close to him he sees nothing wrong with killing people. While Inyuski cares about innocent regular people.

[@rext.b.4436]

The anime and story does seem pretty damn good and deep, specially since the dude who made Gantz apparently made this. -Too bad the ending is proper BS-

[@3bodYking99]

50:45 they kinda did a LOT tho? The whole point was him noy feeling HUMAN, even BEFORE he BECAME, a NON-human. I don't remember but i think he was contemplating life at that part when the aliens killed him. The whole start of him killing is "feeling alive".

and yet the one crona knock off from Komi got a SCP file just for having the Crona Dilemna when Crona is far better suited for it, and also Hiro would be considered a actual SCP.

[@orangejuice3235]

I really liked the writing of this one until like, the last three episodes where it shits the bed because the author just wanted to end it over the harassment he was getting. That talk the main character has with Hiro in like the second to last episode was probably the most disappointed I'd ever been with an anime when it aired.

[@marywinchester1322]

I've seen Inuyashiki before and got some anime references. But after watching your reaction...I'm now just learning that there's more! 🤣I need to rewatch this show.

[@MiniMidas375]

IIRC the explanations we got were that after being turned into alien tech cyborgs, Inuyashiki only felt human when he helped people, while Hiro only felt human when he harmed people.

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

[@BigSmokeJitsu]

18:58 that’s the legendary Muscle Man quote. You gotta get back on the Regular Show Nux.

[@leonardohidalgo5127]

12:11 In Inuyashiki both, protagonist and antagonist, have an existential crisis due to their mechanical transformation, they do not have human stimuli or limitations and in principle both even believed they had lost the capacity for emotion, this made them both desperate. The thing is that the antagonist discovered that he could appeal to his human part by doing horrible things, while the protagonist discovered that he could connect with that part by doing good acts. Neither the protagonist nor the antagonist are good or bad in their actions, they do them out of selfishness to continue feeling human, at least that's how it was in the beginning for both of them. From there comes the initial motivation to become a serial killer, simply taking his ability to hurt to the extreme to reaffirm his humanity.

[@ctjlg1]

Loved reading this manga. Didn't know there was an anime. thxs. Nux I will be watching this now 😊

[@Ironstone97]

I feel like you and CJ should collab with some kind of smash or pass vid or other anime vid that be lit

[@SocietyTomorrow]

Never let the writer of GANTZ cook. Bro knows how to write the shadows of psychology. Hiro is a textbook antisocial sociopath. He's able to form bonds and act counter to his own whims, making him not a psychopath, and acts in accordance to whatever path he thinks will most benefit him. If they left him alone during his post-nut Jesus arc, everything wouldve been totally different.

[@FieldAgent-D]

OOOOOOKAY. watching this nux video later...got 5 seconds in...Dear Lord lol

[@filipvadas7602]

Even though we never get an explanation to *why* Hiro starts killing people outside of *"he wants to"* , if I had to take a guess it because he's *lashing out* His parents are split up with his mom being miserable and his dad having a whole other family, seemingly being completely content with moving on. So it makes sense that, given that he's obviously got psychopathic tendencies on top of that, he felt genuine resentment for these families for having a life he didn't. Hell, same with the two kids. His best friend literally just cut all ties with him earlier that day and then he sees these 2 kids, who are obviously friends and, again, he lashes out. That's just *my* interpretation tho

[@KJetixsSuccessor]

The guy makes Light look like a saint. Also keep in mind the guy’s a coward, because it only *looks* like it’s op. But if they cut power to the city the. The government incident would have fewer deaths. Or if someone threw an emp at this guy then I’m sure he’d be cooked. Not to mention the amount of acids and molten plasma traps that can be made. Never automatic assume (all of) your foe is superior because he’s/she’s foreign. Analyze and think. The guy got a bunch of sneaks and unsuspecting wins.

[@franklangston3004]

It make sense tho for a One Piece fan to be that crazy, Inuyashiki saw Blackbeard, and Lucci, and Akainu, and all the other villain and said bet! 😂

[@BocchiTheBox]

Years now I've been trying to recommend Inuyashiki to so many of my friends but it's hard to get people in on the concept of an old man that turns into a robot for some reason.

[@sarcasticsage984]

From what I remembered he was not a serial killer before the argumentations. Only after that he became one becaus only time he could feel anything was when he killed so it is not too hard to understand him

[@redraptor1099]

when you realses that poilce force whip could of be avoided if they just left him alone and not kill his last life line to being good XD

[@darklordsatan4383]

Inuyashiki was cool, but the animation/CGI made it look weird at times, the story felt rushed, and the ending was just... awful. But cool concept!

[@Joenah5]

I loved Inuyashiki because this guy was the most irridimable monster and still his sacrifice at the end brought me to tears. I have to disagree with Nux because Hiro wouldn't work nearly as well if his murders were done out of any sense of rationality. Him not having any reason for it is the point of his character. But to be fair, it's been years since Nux has actually done proper character analysis.

[@DangerDan64]

The show is worth watching if not for the plot, then definitely it is for how hard the opening song is from Man with a Mission. Other songs they made that hit just as hard, if not harder, are. •Winding Road for Golden Kammui •Seven Deadly Sins for Seven Deadly Sins •Raise your flag for Gundam Orphans •Dark Crow for Vinland Saga (That one is also a favorite of mine from them.)

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Yeah, the opening is awesome and probably the only thing I'd recommend from it, but manga is definitely better to me though

[@SukunaIsHim]

Nux asmr in the beginning

[@HomuncPumpkin]

50:37 and problem I have is that they could have made that ending somewhat redeeming if they made two changes the first being not have him kill a random family of four for no apparent reason because the second family if you look into it there’s a reason because hero just lost who we can assume is his only friend so even if he’s not showing he’s clearly pissed so every minor annoyance is setting him off and then after that he sees two friends run by him reminding him what he’s just lost which also sets him off so while it might not be a good reasoning there’s still a reasoning and the second change is making it so that the girl and her grandmother actually die because them living makes him declaring war in Japan less of a mass slaughter done out of anger and instead more of a senseless slaughter caused by disproportionate anger because he already got his revenge on the people who were directly responsible like the police are not gonna fuck with you again there’s no need to wipe out the whole country if they instead made it so that the girl and the grandmother died then that part would have made sense because even though it’s still disproportionate anger it would make seem less petty in nature and more him lashing out at the world for taking everything from him even though he technically did it to himself

[@HomuncPumpkin]

And the other reason why I feel like the first family murder should be removed and the second should be kept is because the first one just immediately makes hero unapologetically off the jump which I don’t like because besides that scene the shows actually does a pretty good job of showing the slow progression of a serial killer cause if you disregard that scene he starts of with animal cruelty and reckless endangerment then goes on to murder but the murder is somewhat justified then he goes in to commit more murders out of frustration and anger then he stops for a bit until things start going wrong and his mom dies so then he starts killing out of anger again even if some of the killing are somewhat justified then once he’s gotten it out of his system he stops again until stuff starts going wrong again so he then goes for vengeance again and if you make it so that they die he then goes to commit two senseless massacres simply because he’s given up and that’s what I feel like should have happened they should have had him work he’s way up to the senseless slaughter not have him do it from the get go because before that seen they already planted the seeds that this guy was not right in the head if gives you an inkling when he first kills the crow not enough to set of warning alarms but enough to get you tense to make you a little concerned by what he’s gonna do next just to get rid of all that tension by having just fuck around with a bunch of Best Buy employees so then you start thinking that this kid’s just some rambunctious teen who’s dicking around with his new powers all so that your more shocked by him just randomly causing several car accidents just cause he thought it would be fun it does great job of putting you into the shoes of his friend and adds this layer of suspense but then they just kill all that suspense by having him just kill four people for no reason they had him go from committing reckless endangerment to random indiscriminate slaughter the set the bar so far away from where it was like yeah it’s shocking but it also just makes it feel like you just skipped to the end of the story like it makes you feel like hero’s story should have just ended there because where else are you supposed to go from here because it feels like they tried to make a villain who was just evil because he’s evil but they failed miserably because they not showed him having a normal life before that and because that type of villain only really works if the character is just insane because when a character like mahito or the joker kill or torture people they don’t just do it because they can they do it because they’re taking some form of pleasure in it but at the beginning of the series hero does it just because he can and although that makes him scary it makes him feel less like a villain and more like a force of death and despair and in doing so takes away his humanity and makes all the scenes where the story tries to humanize him feel cheap
