Episode 12 – Gachiakuta – Anime News Network

Yes, when we deleted that title card, I realized it was a full 16 minutes, I realized it festival It is moving its story in a very interesting direction. So far, everything has been great. Tamsy’s cool guys show off for the hell of an important instrument, and I ended up really digging out how the conflict with Amo ended with a more strategic victory rather than a huge, dynamic blowout. Considering that all we get is a reflection of the gardening memories of Delmon with his now-dead wife, and a simple monologue from Zanka, about the danger of opening up scars left by people’s most cherished memories, the emotional impact of Amo’s manipulated odor power is surprisingly conveyed, and the emotional consequences of Amo’s manipulated odor. Honestly, I want to know the remaining few minutes left in this episode. Then, Rudo took off his mask, just as Semiu explained to the boss that the boy had made such an impression on her so quickly.

she is Scared Rudo. Or at least, Semiu has reason to be alert to the profound source of the bitterness and anger that still exists deep in Rudo. Not only is this the driving force that makes our young protagonist push the odds forward, but it can even fix the revenge and something like that by slamming the right number of times the right person is, it is also a simple driving force. Rudo has always been harm In this world, life is considered worthless garbage until he is sent to die in a planet-sized dump. Action stories take this wide and easily identifiable source of human abuse for this wide and easily identified character and use it as a window dressing for simple erroneous conflicts of good guys vs. It is very common. All the bad things are coming. Rudo is just a child. A child with too much power, too much trust in the people around him, no experience in life and personal development needs to know how to deal with all his pain. His anger is not just about cheering on cool battle scenes and convenience, emotionally charged motivation. As Semiu explained to Arkha, it was more like a curse carved into his soul.

That’s why it’s shocking to see Rudo take off his breath and walk straight to the girl when Amo is truly armed and captured as a prisoner. I can’t tell you how many anime have starred in the avant-garde protagonists who are betrayed by some arrogant Jezebel and her cop bug, stinking about the paradise of that casual, boiling disgust that makes these shows simply impossible to be any fun to watch. Well, it’s crazy for me festival It was the first anime I remember, seeing the protagonist actually crossed that line and became violent and uncontrollable to the woman he thought was the enemy.

The entire scene is composing in a way that very intentionally changes our perception of two characters. Amo, who spent the last two episodes, is trapped in a shocking and helpless child who gleefully admires our heroes and almost lets them kill each other. Her light clothes and childish manners felt like rough a few minutes ago Fan Servicenow only highlights her vulnerability compared to Rudo. Our “hero”, only a few minutes ago, he desperately tried to understand how to end the conflict No Violence, now crossing a girl, pulling her teeth out. Worse, in the near future, he has been trying to justify his terrible behavior, continuing to say that someone is younger than him, helpless or “just a girl” because he Being hurt, which means who brought it to it.

I won’t fall into messy details, but I spent my childhood in an environment of domestic violence and truly toxic anger, painful masculinity, and after thirty years I’m still dealing with a huge amount of masculinity left in the mind I’m still dealing with. Seeing this particular cruelty always triggers me, but it is especially shocking to see this festival In all the shows, I think this is the Edgelord tendency that left mostly after the first few episodes. It’s easy for me to see the audience turn on Rudo immediately and feel unable to continue watching the show. The intense visuals of this episode are absolutely clear: Amo may be the villain of the week, but Rudo is the one who becomes a monster.

However, here is: I think this is a Extremely good The direction of storytelling. Obviously not because of the terrible violence, but because of how this episode immediately faces the wrongs of Rudo. First, the show will benefit from highly fantasy works that use violence as the main story element. It takes a very real and relevant scenario and extracts it enough to be a situation we can handle, and Rudo can come back because festival It is a world where magical stinky boots can control people’s minds and people can use garden hoses to wreak havoc on the battlefield. Amo is not innocent, and when Rudo attacks her, she is technically not defensive.

More importantly, however, Enjin puts Rudo aside, lets the child vent his shame and frustration, and then raises the fact: what Rudo does is screwed up, yes, it is absolutely wrong, but it does mean that Rudo recognizes the wrong place. Rudo want to To grow up, he wants to be better, and for all the anime and clichés, festival Smart enough to realize that all Rudo’s trauma won’t be left with new jobs, some new clothes, and a few days of hanging out with some new friends. If your brain is ignored, abuse and life swallowing all the heaviest, darkest sensations, then you don’t just have to overcome the power of friendship. Even if you know it’s wrong, selfish and stupid, you might even end up lashing out and hurting someone. Beating yourself and crying for how unfair life is not going to make things better. You have to take your own mistakes, find the way forward that will lead to real recovery, and give the real hard work, which is actually Better.

It is a challenging and nuanced viewpoint that gets drilled into them when even the kindest boys can be consumed by toxic emotions and ugly instincts. I’m sure festival Just caring about slapping its clumsy, greasy aesthetic onto a fairly typical Shonen comic template, but this episode proved me wrong. I was shocked by this little bitch about a bunch of literal trash kids.
