Eh? But according to what I see, you DID put a few spaces before typing out the spoiler. I had to click the Expand button in order to see what you wrote.
okay, kurayami knight, you're off the hook with me. I like you lots. Just one thing, the human eye is much quicker than we think, right? Your eye read the spoiler before your brains and your fingers can catch up. Interesting creatures that we are, right? Anyway, thank you for your good nature and for being a good sport. much much appreciated.
probably that right there your words are the wisest words I read here ..so thank you no one indeed gets to decide who belongs in this world also you 're right the rape scene portrayed how distorted and pitiful the offender is, so albeit being sth completely unforgivable and utterly insufferable that idea of attacking a child no matter what reasons may linger that will never be settled I still appreciated those pitful distorting feelings of man locked away by disgust of what he is and what he desire and the portraying of the reasons that led him to where he is that being said although reasons do and always exists but never excuses that's why I guess it's exactly as u said ''when all the crimes seem to be both justifiable and unforgivable.'' I 'll be using that hehe
(spoiler alert)
The mom got hers. For that, instead of trying to end her pain, she... She passed it on to her son- a-and He willingly took it *bawling my eyes out* i think the thing that stung me the most is... He will never get to meet Mishima now. Mishima, his friend. Mishima, the only person in this world who has an idea of his identity, his pain, his whole being. And...a-and he willingly decided to do that. So that he doesn't turn into their sensei. So that his paradox box can never be opened again. So that he never wavers. He chose that! He bloody chose that for himself *crying because of the unfairness*
All for his mother's happiness
*Deep breaths*
I think the thing that the manga potrayed very successfully is that in reality, the line is always blurred. The line between good and bad. The line between right and wrong. Nothing is absolutely right. And nothing is absolutely wrong. Never in my life have i ever tried to justify the offender, EVER. Specially if it is a rape scene- i am extremely sensitive to that topic (i am sensitive to bullying too, but definitely more sensitive to rape) but during the rape scene, for the first time in my life, i was at a loss for words. I couldn't see right and wrong. Could not see what was justifiable and what wasn't. All i could do was cry. Cry. And cry some more. There was no line in between. No rulebook. Nothing i could refer to for judging that scene, for blaming, for justifying. Who gets to decide who is will be 'accepted' in this world and who won't. Who decides who gets to be consoled for being defied by the society and who doesn't. Who decides whats right and whats wrong when all the crimes seems to be both justifiable and unforgivable. And for life of me, who can tell me when i will stop crying about how sad this is. Its been a whole day and even now, when i remember this manga, my heart feels so empty and broken
