The Top 5 MONSTER Theories

Ойын-сауық

The five best theories that open up Naoki Urasawa's Monster. The anime and manga leave a lot to explain and there's a lot of fringe theories out there. Some, however, are better than others and these are the best five out there.

    I love that these kind of bonkers theories actually make sense and are feasible. Monster is so, so good.

    To the last theory, while I was watching the show and the nameless monster first was told, I felt that Nina was the second nameless monster who was okay with not having a name. It just makes so much sense to the story as well.

    It’s representative of how two people deal with trauma differently

    Here's my take. The nameless are the kids. However, as with the history of anime showed. It was Johan who was nameless given he had to pretend he was his sister. He was okay with this. However, where Johan and Nina differ from the nameless monsters is that ultimately they are switched. Given how Johan internalizes Nina's trauma and thinks it was him that experienced it, and how Nina thinks she was the one waiting. Although I think that the eating of the nameless monster is the representation of it. Johan is a lovely name afterall.

    Also the scene where Johan has the two acorns letting nina choose when she realises he’s letting her win on purpose, I feel like this was foreshadowing of the mom giving one of the twins away because either they’re both the same or seen as equals and it can be seen as Johan will do anything for his sister, letting her win and have the best of anything/everything.

    There's no ambiguity about whether Nina calls him "Johan" at the border; it's just the translator(s) reflexively changing words like onii, ane, etc from direct translations of the words to the addressee's given name. The rest of that theory is fun to think about, though probably the thinnest on substantive evidence. I like the monster Nina theory. I think it looks even clearer on the page that she's saying "I don't want to say... I'm home", at least now that you've pointed it out. I wonder how you'd incorporate that theory with the effects of Bonaparta telling her that she must forget everything she saw that day and that, "Human beings can become anything. You two are beautiful shining jewels. You mustn't become monsters." I think it's crucial that she hadn't communicated that information to Johan, though. If "Monster Nina" is correct, was it intentional? In Nina the monster was successfully submerged thanks to Bonaparta's intervention, but in Johan that intervention never took place.

    English is not my language, but I think I know Johan and Nina's real name and that name is Anna for both of them. Let me explain in another moster. Johan's mother had a twin sister who died called Anna and she was traumatized by that. It is very likely that he called them both Anna and in honor of his sister, the story The Monster Awakens is about a child whose name is the same as the most loved person in the world. In this case, the child in the story is Johan and the most loved person. In the world she is Nina whose real name is Anna and like Johan who is also actually called Anna, that is why in the end Johan is completely traumatized since his name has no meaning, all his memories are of his twin sister, his own name. It is the same as his sister's, he has never had nor will he have a name, that is why the author chose twins as the protagonists because twins always have to fight to differentiate themselves from their other twin, but Johan cannot and will never be able to. that's the phrase I am you and you are. Name me if you use my theory I don't want to end up like Johan😉

    It makes no sense for him to also have the name Anna. And where do you find their mother's long dead twin sister?? Seems to me like you made her up. Johan had to adopt Anna's identity in childhood coz their mom figured it'll be easier to evade those dangerous people if she posed as a mother of only a girl. And it was easier to make Johan wear a wig than have Anna get a haircut so often. Also it is very clear that their names Anna and Johan were given to them when they were with the Leiberts. Even tho their mom wanted to give them names when she was pregnant, for some reason she go throught it after giving birth which is why Johan kept telling Anna at the border that they were nameless. Meaning they had to lie and give people different names when they were with their mom and on the run. My real concern is why she chose not to give them names. Did she do it coz she wanted them to be tools of her revenge or was it because it was easier not to get caught that way if her very young kids didn't accidentally slip up by giving their name to the wrong person?

    dont you think theory number 1 and 5 overlap? johan did everything for nina incluiding the massacre, that hypnosis bit might allude to the fact that the monster deep down her knows johan and her are “the same”, thats the reason of her reaction she doesnt want to be johan, she doesnt want to be alive being the same type of monster that he is meanwhile in the other side johan is the one destroying her world on his own because he knows (he thinks he knows) that she would destroy it on her own if left alone because he still thinks they are the same and he doesn’t want her to live that idk thats what i thought 🦭

    I honestly don’t believe the Johan Johan theory, because my perception of the ending is quite complex, and if the Johan Johan theory was true, then it would kind of ruin the show. I believe that Johan is the monster, and not the true name of “Johan”. The monster isn’t inside of Johan, but outside of Johan. And…well…the people that influenced Johan to become a monster aren’t monsters themselves either. The monster in the story is an idea, and not a person. I think when Johan’s true name was given, he realized that he wasn’t a monster after all, giving the best ending I’ve experienced in any work of fiction so far.
