It also talks a lot about shared human experience: blurred differences between Johan and Anna's version of what happened at the rose mansion, worsened to their prior brainwashing. The paranoia through the town but the other side like Kenma and Petrs friends communities based on positivity. I think the last scene is imagined and Kenma is permanently scarred with the voice of Johan (who definitely had a similar type of persistent psychosis) in the end the children's books are also ways of inviting us to experience these complex psychological events or understand them on a rudimentary level before shepherding us along the same path with the characters to best understand their parallel experiences.

Recommended “Monster” to my philosophy prof. He said: “No thanks, I like to keep my professional and private life seperate.”

Sounds like he considers "sitting down and watching a series" as something he should enjoy rather than a project to work on. I wonder if he never saw series like Breaking Bad, and if he did, did he ever stop and use his knowledge to think about it? EDIT: typos

Hmm, that seems really counterproductive for someone who made a career of philosophy.

Tenma saving Johan’s lofe also meant the drunken father is not a killer. Tenma saving Johan prevented a child from losing his father.

I just found this video and love it especially since I'm taking philosophy rn

Man, your work is incredible

Very nice summary. Probably the best I've seen on this series. Entertaining, well-paced, and informative on philosophy. I'm not an expert in philosophy, but I'll take a novice's approach to the ending. In my opinion, Johan's nihilistic philosophy is proven wrong by Dr. Tenma's ability to look beyond all the wrongs he has done and help him as a human. That act itself destroys the monster further demonstrating his devotion to deontologicalism. Giving Johan his true name restores some level of Jungian purpose. Will be sharing and subscribing.

The only thing Tenma proved was that he was mentally insane. What was the famous Einstein quote "The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result". Constantly overlooking Johans action and appealing to his humanity.

Magnifique ! Merci beaucoup !

Excellent video!! Couldn't stop watching, for anyone who wants to know, here are my general takeaways. Naoki Urasawa's Monster is a masterpiece in storytelling, but is not widely recognized in modern discourse. The story explores moral codes and their fragility through the dichotomy between the main characters, Dr. Tenma and Johan Liebert. The show delves into different philosophies and allegories, and portrays the successes and failures of each system of morals. The show is set in post-World War 2 Germany and contains elements of murder mysteries, investigative pursuits, character arcs, and a web of storylines. The show's ending serves as a synthesizer for all the moral musing done before, bringing everything together into one final philosophical standoff, the Trolley Car problem. After tragic family events, Johan and his sister Anna run away and are found by German soldiers, who give them their names. Johan is sent to Kinderheim 511, an experimental orphanage in East Berlin, where his destructive nature begins. The leaders of Kinderheim try to find answers through chemical treatment, and Johan recounts his belief that he is alone and that the monster inside him is getting bigger. Johan plots his escape from Kinderheim by manipulating human hatred and emotion and becomes known as "beyond human" by those involved in the Kinderheim 511 massacre. Johan's nihilistic ideology is portrayed as a Nietzschean Ubermensch, who has evolved past the physical and ideological capacities of a human, but also stands in contrast to the Nazi's false master race. A powerful scene in the show depicts the main character, Dr. Tenma, trying to teach a young boy, Martin, the love of life, despite the influence of Johan's nihilistic games. The scene also serves to contrast the actions of Roberto and Dieter, who both serve as apostles to their teachers but have very different outcomes. Heinrich Lunge, a detective in the show, embodies the empirical narcissist, relying only on evidence and deducing conclusions through a robotic methodology. As the case around Tenma becomes more complicated, Lunge's machine breaks down, and he falls victim to his own self-belief, developing an obstructive confirmation bias. The final arc of the show, Ruhenheim, brings all the characters together and serves as a thematic shift, emphasizing the importance of individual decisions and destinies in the climax of the story. Tenma appears primal and shaken in a scene with Johan, signaling that Johan has worn him down and defeated him. The scene takes place in a mental plane detached from reality, which is where Johan operates throughout the show. The climax of the show is Johan willing his own death and pressuring Tenma to make a difficult moral decision. The show goes back to the earliest trolley problem, which involved Johan and his sister being forced to choose between each other for experiments. This moment created the monster that is Johan Liebert, as he was unable to understand why his mother chose to send away Anna. Johan's nihilism derives from this moment, as he believes that the decision should have been left to chance and not his mother's choice. The final trolley problem in the show is Johan's attempt to understand why his mother made the decision she did and to make sense of his own existence. Tenma's role in the final trolley problem is related to Nietzsche's ideas of the individual's role in morality and decision-making. Thanks for this masterpiece!

Awesome video, hope you got a perfect A haha.

The reason why Johan kills the patient is because he saw his face as everyone else he has killed

the nihilism was born in the 2nd war period according to my philosophy teacher, and the disruptive behaviour of Johan starts in the period that he spend in Kinderheim 511. For me Johan is the personification of the nihilism thougths. The soldiers represents the war and with them all the dread and death that it carries, the fact that Johan was introduced in the orphanage by the soldiers represents this born of nihilism as a reaction for the misery that war covered the citizens of countries immersed in the conflict. With this misery some people dont see anymore reasons for living since they lost everything which included their houses and loved ones (their connections and memories) in some cases even their names since some people were refugees of the most affected areas and dont have no one alive who remembered them. its sad to see such an amazing manga be so underrated, and when it gain some spotlight is a 14 yr kid making poor edits with scenes of the anime followed by some bullshit sigma phrase. +1 sub by the way, amazing video ❤

Good effort. Perhaps you could pursue this project for multiple reasons. Before I state the many possible reasons, I must state what I mean by the word project. What I mean is your effort in not only writing scripts but also in presenting them on a visual form on youtube similar to the way you did here. In addition to directing our attention to the domain of visual presentation and the genre of video essays that your video falls into, which is meant to point out the established experiences that hopefully can provide a metric to measure your work in relation to. That is meant to be helpful in the visual aspect of the video. Excuse me to take this long to get to this point, which is what I meant earlier by the "reasons" why you should keep pursuing this project. Those reasons are your conceptual understanding and linguistic tool used and demonstrated in this video. I must say that I don't write this comment as casual endorsement (although perhaps it could be perceived or function in that way), but, nonetheless, it is motivated to be a fair and appropriate assessment of the project. This assessment is motivated not only from a well-intentioned individual but also from an individual who's familiar with the general genre of video essays, video essays about the anime of monster (to be specific), and more importantly with the works of philosophy that you have cited here. Excuse me for my overcompensation in what I'm about to say, but I have to say it to make clear the particular person and background that I come from. I do so for two reasons. The first reason is to provide more information about the writer of this comment. This information is aimed to be useful when judging the worth of this comment and the seriousness of the attitude towards it. After stating the first reason regarding the particular case of this comment, the second reason behind this proclaimed "overcompensation" is to hopefully achieve the normalization of the specific type of "thing" I'm doing here. To get directly to the point, what I meant by overcompensation is the fact that I have read Kant's first crtiqe, his ethical publications, whether they're the groundwork for the metaphysic of morals, the prolegomena of any future metaphysics. Moreover, Nietzsche works like beyond good and evil and the genealogy of morals, in addition to works like thus spoke zarathustra, and wcce homo are all books that I own physically. Although I'm most definitely a Kantian as opposed to a nihilistic individual (juat as a piece of knowledge about me). We must remind ourselves that all that has been stated above is because of the two reasons that I have explained and as a reaction of the apparent compensation in what I write. Having established who the writer of this comment is, I would like to make sure that I do hold this work as a sign of high potential of you. At the end, I do encourage you to keep going.

This reads like a parody of Kant

This isn’t just poor mans Crime and Punishment, but is just a disgrace to all of fiction and philosophy. It is pseudo intellectual drivel for anime fans that believe Nietzsche was a nihilist and Stoicism is about being a decent human. Johans character is nonsense and not realistic, Tenma has no character. All the other characters are plot devices for Naoki Urasawa to show the audience how much he misunderstands philosophy. If you want realistic characters, who are actually good and realistic, go read the works of Dostoevsky and his peers. Not this throw up and abomination of the greats that will outlive all of us. Also, go actually read Nietzsche. He wasn’t some delusional hating nihilist, he actually loved life a lot more than other philosophers. He wanted us all to love and embrace life on our terms. Johan is more like… Machiavelli? Or maybe Schopenhauer? It doesn’t matter, it’s not good.
