Japan is so overwhelmingly 'tough on crime' that you cannot compare any aspect of their justice system to that of any actual multi-party democracy in good faith. If a crime is reported, someone is going to be convicted, even if most of them are likely innocent. But it seems like literally every crime notable enough to attract international attention results in someone truly monstrous getting a slap on the wrist.

He then used a knife to cut off said part to make it easier and he further mentions how surprised he was at the color of the adipose layer he saw beneath the skin. Fat is bright yellow.

Im feeling so uncomfortable, I can’t believe this man is still roaming through the damn streets. Side note: this is the first time I’ve ever seen Sydney in a serious look before, it’s super strange to me

Im currently majoring psychology and learnt a bit abt forensic psychology. I found Issei Sagawa's case interesting to me bc the murderer himself drew what he felt abt the case just like a diary and drawing tells so much than just words. I have some thoughts abt the drawing bc i took classes on drawing assessment in uni and connecting some to Jeffrey Dahmer's crime case (theres a video of a forensic psychologist reacting to Jeffrey Dahmer case, uploaded by Buzzfeed Unsolved). However disclaimer that this is just thoughts from a student, im not a qualified forensic psychologist and I'm not native english speaker so some words may lost in my translations. My first thought that he has paraphilia and difficulty to control his impluses (esp sexual impluses) and its shown/depicted in his drawings. He might have voyeourism/exhibition issues bc he willing to draw it into a manga and shares it to mass media "reacting" it. And from his drawing depicted that he is (or was at that time) rly childish/has regression tendency meaning that he acts esp like a child in his adulthood. This could be due to abnormality since birth or from his childhood development (he mightve abused as a kid, parents held full authority over him). However im not 100% sure abt this bc his drawing could be influenced by manga style and not purely his deafult drawing style. My next thought is the halo. Its interesting since he put halo on his victim on his drawing although im not sure why he drew that. This might be his love to his victim/he sees her as a saint/he wishes good wish for her praying that she rests in peace. And my final thought that this could be the same case as Jeffrey Dahmer. They killed and had s*x with the corpse not bc have grudges, its bc they love the victim. And they both might have issues with rejection with their lovers (victims) so in the mind its better to get down the bussiness with a dead body rather than alive one. This could be due to abuse from when they had endured when they were rly young or birth abnormalities, there are so many factor why a person could do something like that. Again in the end its just purely my first sight observation bc this kind of case is rly complex and time consuming to understand (sometimes rly draining your mental health trying to study cases like this one). In psychology field its always two side of story from the victim and also the perpetrator. Perpetrator could also be the one who need help bc they dont know how to control themself and prone to be suicidal bc of it.

I think there is h-mnanga based on a real life crime that happened in Japan

coming back to this video after the news of his death, fucking finally

I remember watching a KZread video that had like 8 content warnings pop up before I watched it, in the video contained images of the poor girls body.. I felt so sick and sad. I can’t believe they just let him go after what he had done.

Sydney is the embodiment of “I had to see this so you do too” sometimes haaa

We first got Detective Aki, and we got Sydnay Crime Time. Another thing that disturb me is that the manga is drawn like if you doodle in your notebook in the middle of class, as in a younger person drew it and that is...no bueno 0_-. But liked the video tbh.

To be real I didn't not expect sydnay or Aki to cover true crime at all as they don't do that kind of content too often But I appreciate that they have the guts to talk about very disturbing crimes in japan

Thank you Sydsnap for sharing this. I knew there were some bizarre people out there and I appreciated the insight on this. Seeing this content every once in awhile would be cool.

Im not even halfway through the video and this tone for Sydneys content is soooo good. Your voice is really good for this kind of content!

Just saying, if you thought of doing a true crime podcast or a second KZread channel about true crime, I'd gladly watch! I think you did a great job talking about this! More related to the video and the manga itself, it is truly sick the things people can get away with and publish. The fact he was able to turn his crimes into a manga is wild

YESSSS!!!! I’m so happy to see new content like this from syd. This is really fascinating stuff!! Let’s blow this video up so we can get more.

Also disturbing is that he is profiting with the sales of this manga….. And people just buys it like it’s nothing

What a weird twist of fate that he just got set free once he was deported. Also, imagine being one of the girls he worked with in porno, makes me wonder if they just weren't told about him being a monster before or what. I did really enjoy this very macabre video though so thanks for putting yourself through the trauma of making it! If you do plan on making more (which would be cool to see other dark parts of anime and manga) probably wait between making each one so it doesn't mess with your head any.

Really enjoyed this video. Very well edited and put together. It was nice to see you be serious and not loud and kinda annoying at times. I’m a fan of true crime myself. Would definitely love to see more true crime videos around Japanese murders or related to manga/anime. Especially, since you have a big interest yourself.

I would personally love to see more stuff like this on this channel. Very cool change of pace.

As far as I remember not only murderer but a cannibal.

What a throwback! I remember the first video i watched when i turned 18 ( and i can finally watch age restricted content ) was a documentary of this guy.

Really liked this sort of serious content for a change. You should do more of these types of videos. Although I can't imagine anyone not being shaken to the core after hearing what this guy did.

Literally insane, thank you for going through that for us

Thank you for the run through. You did a great job going through something you’re very interested in.

This was very well made Sydney! I’d love it if you’d make more but only if you’re willing to do so, if it’s too much don’t worry about it!

Boy it's really amazing just watch sydsnap talk about true crimes or disturbing mangas but being serious, give scary vibes that combine with this format, I hope she makes a new section in this format.

Would be interesting to see more videos like this one from you, Syd, of course if you are comfortable doing it. Also I highly appreciate the lack of adds and unrelated jokes just to make the mood lighter. It sounds like the obvious thing to do, but many creator that do this kind of content regularly don't bother with how distasteful it looks. Thank you for informing us, and being really respectful doing so, feel free to do any type of content that you want to share, I like your narration and you are very well spoken. 🤍 Take care.

Well done video! The thing that comes to my mind with the true crime stories from Japan is the perpetrators getting to live a comfortable nearly normal life afterwards. This is the first time I have heard this was because of international sealed case files and not just the wealth of his family in this case.

I'd be interested in you doing more content like this. I always like learning bout new things,things that happened that I've never heard of. It's a wild story indeed. I looked up the photos and if he was still alive. I regret going down the rabbit hole. That corpse was more zombiefied than what they're legally able to show as a zombie on TV or film... I don't think I'll ever lay eyes upon something more horrific than what I saw he did to that poor girl... He still lives

That’s terrible the fact that some crazy people really do these things

Syd you should do more of these, you're really engaging. Also I'm squirming, in awe you were able to make it through this manga 🤢

I adored this video from beginning to end, and I'd love to see more like it in the future if it's something you'd be interested in covering. I remember a few years back I binge-listened to a Japan-focused True Crime podcast, but they only came out with a half-dozen episodes before disappearing which was a shame. I'd especially love to hear it from you because it's clear that you take the subject seriously and approach it with a level of respect that makes the true crime genre more palatable to me personally. Even if this is a one-off, thank you for shedding light onto that manga which I knew absolutely nothing about and will never seek out any extra info on beyond this.

As a true crime fan myself, I’d definitly come back and watch mere videos like these, if you ever decide to make more of them that is

You should do more videos like these in the future, this was really enjoyable !

Sydney, I think you should make another channel dedicated to true crime stories, there's something about the way you narrate them that keeps me engaged.

Junko's story truly terrified me when I first heard of it, I've been paranoid ever since...

Because you usually don't make content like this, making more would honestly slap. You got the vibe perfect and you are interested in the topic more than anyone so hell yea brother!

I also really like true crime! It's cool to me that you're exploring these kinds of topic, even if it's gruesome. I wouldn't mind seeing more content that covers subjects like this. Keep up the good work!

Even if she says "It's disturbing, trust me" I'm the kind of person that feels annoyed if I can't read/watch it myself and make my own opinions about it, but I'm doubting whether it's worth it this time lmao

I would love to see more of this content but honestly take care of yourself while doing it and know that you don't have to go for stories as hard as this one. I've also delved deep into some cases before out of morbid curiosity and yeah sometimes it is really hard to stomach that knowledge after the fact (Bundy honestly got me real bad, what he did to the kid...), this definitely sounds like one of those, and I can't imagine it would be very good for you if you continued looking for worse and worse cases and were frequently exposing your psyche to such things, I honestly couldn't even handle that myself and I also consider myself difficult to shake up. I do it as a once in a blue moon thing and then follow it up with "I'm going to do all the nice and happy things to try and cope with this information". Especially cases like this one where people get away with it, those especially affect me and eat away at me. I feel better that he is being exposed like this to people though, it's even worse when these monsters just fade away like it never happened, no, remember what they did, and shame them for it forever, even after they die. A really good topic that would actually be fitting for your channel and is along the same lines as this, you should look into and research the serial killer fetish. It is freaking bizarre with girls who want murderers to stalk, choke them, etc. They'll make shirts and graphic tumblers to sell on Etsy about it. Oddities marketplaces on Facebook are especially a trip.

Good delivery Syd. I think your passion for true crime will help you excel in this type of content.

syd you should check out a channel called dire trip. The creator is a guy that started out with a bunch of japanese murders and have since branched but still does go back to asian murders.

This was a really cool change of pace. I'd be totally okay with seeing you cover more serious topics. Hopefully the algorithm doesn't completely flip out at these videos for being "off brand".

Everyone who celebrated a wicked persons actions like this, disrespects the victims. It’s sick. He got fame off his crimes like most criminals do. And everytime people make them famous it’s just absolute disrespect and a mockery to all those that lost their lives

Love this different type of content !

I read about this case over a decade ago, had not expected the killer himself to draw a manga about his endeavour.

It's some real talk moments when you don't get the "Hey guys! it's ya girl!" bubbly attitude she normally does.

I remember him! I saw him in a documentary video a while ago on KZread. It was so sickening that they just took him back to Japan even though he committed these atrocities. Not a lot of French remember him, but he just marked my mind, I’ll surely never forget him.

Yes, I liked this kind of content. Keep up the good work!

Three types of reaction exist for this morbid affair. There are those who are shocked, disgusted, and horrified. There are those who are fascinated. And finally, there are those who are unmoved, having a general apathy to it.

Syndsnap, thank you for the warning. I, due to reasons which are my own, will not be able to enjoy this video, but will def be picking up on another of your videos. Enjoy the time with the family and Happy Halloween!

i saw a few videos talking about him on youtube, but i never knew he had written a manga. Also, one of the reasons why that he got free when he got to Japan, was because his father is really (rich) powerful/influential in japan at the time.

Sagawa admitted the crime, was found not guilty on the grounds of insanity, and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in France. The following year, he returned to Japan and was hospitalized at Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital for one year. The hospital's diagnosis was that Sagawa had no proclivity for cannibalism and that he had lied to the French police. Dr. Kaneko, the hospital's vice president at the time, said that Sagawa was not mentally ill but had a personality disorder, and should be held criminally responsible.The French hospital mistook the enteritis that Sagawa suffered from when he was one year old for encephalitis. He believes he may have made the wrong decision. The Japanese police had exactly the same idea and planned to arrest Sagawa and bring him to trial again (Weekly Murder Case Book, No. 2, DeAgostini, 1995), but the French police decided not to prosecute him. He refused, saying that he could not hand over the investigation materials.
