The thing is that johan was talking not only to the kid but also to himself as *spoiler* he had the same expirience when he was the kid (the same expirence that made him see himself as the monster the first time and the one that sparked his ideals and look on reality). By making the kid come to a conclusion that to kill one self is the proper conclusion he wanted to confirm that his ideals and prospective on life is the correct way of thinking. You can clearly see that at the end of series that all johan did was to try and kill himself.

I always thought of this episode (and many other parts) a symbolistic portray of humans. In this case, the kid is the symbol of innocence, and Johan unlike what people think is not cruel here. He doesn't force anything on the kid, Johan here is more like a guide, Johan is the symbol of those nihilistic thoughts you have when you're on top of a building looking down, he's a call. Once the kid hears this call, he sets out on his journey with Hope (his mother) Johan then asks him: would you accept your hope as your raison d'etre? And then he goes on by saying would you accept your worthlessness if you lost that? The child doesn't get it at first, he's shocked by the mere idea, and actually forgets about it 10 seconds in, running with smile thinking about his mother. And Johan just observes the naivety and innocence. Once the kid faces the reality of humans and the horrors of their desires, and in the meantime loses his hope and reason of being, he understands what was Johan talking about and answers the call by commiting suicide. Johan never told the child tbe answer to his question, but the child himself chose the answer. Now if you are familiar with existentialism and its relationship with nihilism and how they emerge from the same starting point (that life is meaningless in itself) you will see that this scene is exactly portraying that idea and it's done beautifully.

Great point! Wonderfully explained

"What kind of expression do I have?" "You're crying."

1:30 That line hits different for Johan after finishing the entire anime.

His small footsteps are such an astute detail. The only sight he recognizes in the foreign scrofulous place, the armpit of humanity. Diminutive but the only sense of familiarity in the voracious void of despicable knowledge. They continue regardless, but peter along with the childish idealism of locating his mother. An individual whose love defines him, a stranger but one he has faith in regardless until they stop. At the edge of the bridge, he has seen it all. Grasps the gravity, wicked words of his unscrupulous guide slithering as they asphyxiate all good he has known, childish joy diminished, his life rewritten with merely a walk and those ignominious words. This is not his life anymore. This was not his world anymore. And so he stands in the edge, in a trance. In preparation for his life to sink in the dark waters, water under the bridge he would be. But "no one really wants to die", he cannot refuse salvation. Regardless of the forces implemented, the inertia of life is remarkable. So he is inanimate. But positively, as he allows Grimmer's grasp to elevate him. Bring him back to the other end of warmth, of what his life was once. And he clings to it. Life is light. There is naught without momentum. For the light to extinguish, it is far more preternatural than not so even without any action, there will be momentum. Diminutive footsteps is momentum. Walk, it is all you truly know.

Oppressing a child with one’s nihilistic perspective is a monstrous act. I use to be nihilistic when not pessimistic… I realized later in my point of view that the point of life was to evolve. I may still have a nihilistic view on life but I do see some aspects that may point out that a woman’s will to abandon her CV old is because of a psychological struggle and an instinct to isolate oneself from danger. The child would then be in a situation where he must know about the problem to avoid the damage. Either way it’s very hard on the mind and spirit.

@@OnnumMuttaiyum True. Well, to be exact, nihilism is the doctrine where one believes that existence is meaningless and senseless, where things such as values and beliefs ultimately become useless or pointless as in the most subtle way, life just happened as a biological accident over the course of time and beliefs did not support or justify one’s existence, nor did anything valued. Example: I used to view myself as just a skeleton with flesh, and organs only living because of them functioning whereas my life was hostage to time and it all felt like trial and error. Life just happens without meaning. Just science in action. Just organisms in the environment, with beliefs created out of pure wishful thinking and despair in rough times, and values, in the grand scale of things, feel like ideas born from the human brain, from the imagination, a pure concept, or notion… nothing more nothing less. Now, I think that such a view imposed on a child who had a set idea of the world, breaks it completely and causes a trauma, the change being too rough, causing shock. While it is visible that I still contain part of this… philosophy shall we say… I try to see things in a certain angle to avoid falling back in. It’s very traitorous since one change of angle makes the view a whole lot different. In the end, it all depends on hope, evolution and different outcomes. That’s why I think the view of an adult, who has evolved and can form a judgement for themselves, is less deranged if nihilistic rather than if it is that of a child. What remains uncertain, and therefor terrifying is the unpredictable intentions and actions… and once again, in an adult that has evolved and forms a judgment, it can take on many forms… the monster…and so do the outcomes.

These experiences simply made me believe in life more than anything else. Was it luck? Was it divine? Was it nothing? Was it something? I dont know. I dont ask these questions but i can feel the urge to ask them. Another thing it caused me to feel was that i felt as if i had used up all of my chances and that if i get in another deadly situation i will actually die this time. Which is quite ironic to me because back then i had no fear of death, it was simply an after thought and i didnt care yet i survived everything. While today, the thought of death comes foremost and affects almost every choice in my life as if dont calculate for them, i will die. I dont know which one is worse though. Being carefree to the point where i would put myself in very dangerous positions for almost no reason or the paranoia of death that affects my everyday life now. Although i believe its not that serious, just not standart.

The final scene made me hella sad. Probably one of the top mature anime series out there for sure.

This series gives me the chills even to this day. Mainly the reason that this kid has the same name as me and it's like Johan was manipulating me through this episode. They could have chosen any name in this world, but they opted for mine. Pure chills man.

When I read the manga scene for this I couldn’t help but feel dreadful fear. like I was in his shoes, uncovering the disgusting horror of the world I reside in

I mean that's a technique of manipulation right from the book.

"You were definitely wanted", I think Grimmer was saying that to him aswell

Therapist: Trap Johan doesn't exist Trap Johan:

The last part touched me so much, with the heaviness of Johan’s words weighing on Milos’ mind, Grimmer had said the exact opposite and Milos’ expression changed, like an untying of the knot. These two instances show how words both harm people, but how it can also be an instrument of healing.

Getting a kid to kill himself is crazy. Damn, Johan is crazy. 💀💀

This scene was actually so crazy to me

well johan probabily saw himself in that kid at that moment,trying to show him the true nature of this world the same way he learned it when he was a child.It's a bit strange to know johan does have a bit of empathy even if he totally ditches it and kills people without remorse.

At that moment I realized what a scary monster Johan is

1:28 johan mustve hated hearing that

Man really said he was a teacher and taught the kid biology in seconds

Tricks johan used against the orphan: When the child begins catching on all johan has to do is look at him for a bit to discourage his questions. Immediately spreads seeds of disbelief disguised as rational thinking when the child says his mother will know him. Direct eye contact to make sure the child understands what he says. Gives him false hope while planting the seeds for despair in the same sentence. Sends him to a hostile enviorment that would surely traumatize him, Invoking the previously planted seeds to grow. The seeds grow into intense self loathing and hatred coupled with the hostile enviorment, causing hatred.

I love this scene so much, it’s perfectly written. Taking you through the horrors Milo’s goes through to top it off with him attempting to end it all after realizing there isn’t a soul who wanted him. Then grimmer coming along to exclaim what Milo’s has been proven to be wrong is true. But not just through words he shows it by crying, that though he may not have been wanted in this world, it ultimately doesn’t matter because we are our own individuals with emotions (I.e grimmer being from 511 and supposedly not having emotion crying from his own empathy)

This was the scariest most sad scene I have ever witnessed in all of Anime history. It felt like a scary dream almost 😦😦😦

Watching this back even I a fully grown man could tear up on imagining if what Johan said was true for me, despite having a loving family myself. This is just a boy, and what Johan said to him has a chance of being the truth, it's so cruel yet real as hell.

“I think bros a wonderful teacher.”

The fact that Johan was just like a woman also raises the question of whether he was a monster. Johan also spends a lot of time with ordinary people who do not discriminate.

@@jestfullgremblim8002 Johan's entire character centers around not having an identity. As a child, he used to have to dress up like a girl (to resemble his twin) so people would think there's only one child instead of two. Conforming to a different gender identity, never being called by his name, or recognized as a seperate individual from his sister all distored his sense of identity. Which is why he's able to fit so comforatbly in women's clothing. Also, the biological experiment, to my understanding, was to create the "perfect" human. The perfect human, in this anime, means someone who trancends the identiy of conformed society. They refuse to give children names. Read to them from a book about a child with no name, as a means to groom them into their beleifs, and they try to remove every aspect of realtive individual thought. Which creates a being like Johan, so far removed from himself and humanity that his only purpose is to end the world as to save everyone the suffering despair of nothingness.

It's just so well written and so real and inflicting fear, it's just impossible to top it. I always want a villain that every time there on screen you know sh gonna go down

I like how Monster got both themes of heroistic protagonist (with situations that can only happen in shonen anime) and the dark nature of humanity and the deep desires to be recognized to seek the truth and to find one's value real deep feelings and thoughts), the show shifts between the two themes seamlessly.

I recently finished the series and out of ALL the terrifying and heinous things Johan has done in the story, THIS was the worst and irredeemable. I balled my eyes out in this episode not knowing what will become of Milos, but thankfully Grimmer and Tenma found him in time😭😭

One of the few moments in the story that made me shed a tear. This was Johan at his most cruel.

This scene was more than just johan cruelty, both Johan and grimmer showed him the true world. While johan showed him what 70% of the world would be , grimmer and tenma showed him the opposite. And another thing that is terrifying is that we actually never knew what did johan saw , maybe Johan saw the same disgusting truth except there wasn't any grimmer to save him.

I think johan is a good speed runner for driving a child into cruel world

Johan manipulate orphan just for a giggle Let that sink in

of course johan is absolutely cruel for that but he’s a villain so it’s expected from him, my only problem is with that teacher that told milos to watch him bang a woman on the streets, A TEACHER! one of the most respected roles out there, a teacher is someone you trust to protect and keep your child safe and he’s out there traumatizing a poor boy for god knows what. hes the true villain in this episode.

Still got the goozebumps jeez! After all diz years

Long ago, in a distant land, a monster was dying to have a name. However, the world was so large that the monster split in two. One monster went West, and another monster went East. The monster that went East happened upon a little town. At the town's entrance, he met a blacksmith. The monster asked the blacksmith for his name, but the blacksmith replied that he couldn't give him his name. The monster then convinces him that if he let him enter into his body, he would make him stronger. The blacksmith obliges, and and the monster enters into him. The monster then became known as Otto the Blacksmith. Because of the monster's influence, Otto became the strongest person in the village. However, one day, the Blacksmith was telling everyone that the monster inside of him was getting bigger, and the monster bursts out of him and eats his remains. Still a monster without a name, the monster then went to see Hans the Shoemaker, and like last time, he eats him from the inside out. He then entered into Thomas the Hunter, but the outcome was exactly the same as before. He then went to a fine-looking kingdom and went to the sickly prince while he was in bed. Like before, he convinces the boy to let him enter into him, and he'll make him well. The monster kept his word, and the boy is healed. The king was overjoyed that his son was finally well, and the monster decided to stay in the boy's body, because he liked the boy's name and the luxury that came with living in a castle. However, the monster's hunger grew more and more stronger each day, until eventually, the monster inside him just couldn't take it any more. He ate the king and all of his servants. Eventually, the monster consumed everyone and everything in the village. He then happens upon the monster that went west, and he tells him that he had finally gotten a name. The monster from the West replied that he didn't need a name, and liked being a nameless monster. The boy then eats the monster that came from the West. The monster was overjoyed that he finally had a name, but realized that no one was around anymore to call him by that name, which was a shame, because Johan was such a wonderful name.

Its been several years but I truly do believe Naoki Urasawa is one of the most brilliant Mangakas to ever write and draw Thriller. All 3 of his master works (Monster, Pluto and 20th century boy) should be on everybody's list to read them atleast once in there life. They are truly magnificent works of art.

This feels so twisted in so many ways but it still feels so real😔

Bro as an 18 year old this was one of the most traumatising episodes of my life the fact that the kid wanted to suicide after the truth ruined me from the inside Absolute chills 😨😨

This was the scene that got me into Monster, like bruuh, i felt like my brain was manipulated, i could not understand a single thing... what is the situation of that boy with the talk only and imagine the other things he faced .... DAMN IT. + to me, the most complicated thing in this anime is the bond between the MOTHER and her TWINS and Johan's character. Like i need a whole year just for it

Here Johan asks "WHAT IS THE REASON FOR LIVING"?? Actually if you take that perspective of life and think about this question, there isn't a reason to anything in this universe or life. It's just that Universe gave the opportunity to every individual to experience our life. Some might say life is meaningless just because the social drama ,if not by the society tell me how were you when you were a child . It's all laugh and fun. Even if a single butterfly comes you would jump around and embrace your life and butterflies too. Then, society did something to you and then got f**ed up. Which means your very existence is based on others. What did you make for your self.?? If I had met Johan , I would hug him and say this. It's all about Celebrating the life and become one with the existence by embracing ur life and every life's not getting manipulated by anyone or anything.

The path of killing is for the monsters or humans who have a shred of monstrosity imbued within their very consciousness.

Además de los asesinatos en serie de Johan, esto fue una de sus mayores crímenes durante este anime, la crueldad y el desinterés de Johan, la maldad que había dentro suyo y la artimaña, todo se demostró en este acto, no le importó imponer su creencia y filosofía en un niño inocente que sólo buscaba el cariño de su madre, justamente como un maldito psicópata actuaría... nuevamente, Johan me sorprendió muchísimo esta vez y carajo, es el mejor antagonista que pudo haber creado Naoki Urasawa (seguido de Tomodachi)
