Johan is the only antagonist that gives me shivers when I see him appearing in the series, his entire character is written very well, no, even awesome written, when I think about if Johan was real, my mind gets filled with dread because of what a person he is. He is definitely the only antagonist that can give you the feeling of uncanny when he appears, that's why he is my favourite antagonist in all of animanga. Naoki Urasawa is truly fascinating and a legend.
He has this 'untouchable' aura around him. Johann is a character that in my opinion it's really hard to understand and comprehend, which makes it way more disturbing to see what he does.
Johan is one of the greatest antagonists in fiction for me, he is not just a man, he's a figure. A perfect one, every step he takes, every movement he makes is so inhumanely perfect. He is by all definition of the word a "monster", he's an idea. How fucked up can a person be? Johan is nihilism, personified. And in my opinion, he's the framework for a nihilistic villain and the ideal nihilistic villain.
@@NagvanshieusDefinitely watch it, every character in Monster is just peak writing. The show has a long progression tho, but I never found that a problem as every episode is good. And some episodes (29, 33, 37, 44, etc.) are worth 1,000 episodes of watching. One of the best side characters, Grimmer, appears 40 episodes into the series too, so don't drop it right away, trust me
I love how much Johan is built up throughout the first quarter of the series. The more Tenma and the audience learn about his past and what he has done he starts to feel less like a person and more like a cryptic myth, so when he finally shows up again at the university it sends shivers down your spine.
Если его не знает большинство, то это говорит о том, что оно уже лучше всего того шлака, который вливают в нас. Это как о хорошем месте на природе. Может лучше, чтобы дети не знали его, и не портили?
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a nameless monster. The monster was dying to have a name. So he decided to set out on a journey to find his name. But the world was a large place, so the monster split into two on his journey. One monster went to the East. And the other went to the West. The monster who went East came to a village. "Mr. Blacksmith, please give me your name." "You can't give someone a name." "If you give me your name, I'll jump into your stomach and make you strong in return." "Really? You'll make me stronger? Okay, you can have my name." And the monster went inside the blacksmith's stomach. The monster became Otto the blacksmith. Otto was the strongest man in town. But one day, "Look at me, look at me. The monster inside me has grown this large." Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. The hungry monster ate Otto from the inside. He went back to being a monster without a name. He jumped into the stomach of Hans the shoemaker, but Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. He went back to being a monster without a name. He jumped into the stomach of Thomas the hunter, but Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. And once again he was a monster without a name. The monster went to a castle to look for a wonderful name. "If you give me your name, I'll make you strong." "If you'll heal my sickness, I'll give you my name." The monster jumped into the boy's stomach. The king was delighted. "The prince is well. The prince is well." The monster liked the boy's name. He liked living in the castle. So even when he was hungry, he stayed put. Every day he was so hungry, but he stayed put. But one day he was just too hungry. "Look at me. Look at me. The monster inside me has grown this large," said the boy. The boy ate the king and and all the servants. Munch-munch, chomp-chomp, gobble-gobble, gulp. One day, the boy came upon the monster who had gone west. "I have a name. It's a wonderful name," said the boy. The monster who went west replied, "You don't need a name. You can be happy without a name. Because we are nameless monsters." The boy ate the monster who went west. Even though he had finally found a name, there was no one left to call him by it. What a wonderful name it was, Johan......
These people (like Johan) are infinite. They are everywhere and manifest into anything. They hear everything, they see everything. They are bound to none, not even themselves.
The fact that is truly terrifying that is he is the only antagonist which could exist in reality. Cuz people like him still exists in this world. If I was to see Johan, I would be 💀on the spot from heart attack
The most terrifying thing about him is that how he dosen't need powers or abilities to manipulate others or drive them to suicide or persuade them to kill others he is simply terrifying because of that really he is truly the perfect anime villain
I felt so sad for Johan and Mr.Grimmer and even tho Johan is a villian I can't help but feel sympathy for him ,& i know it's just an anime but I really felt depressed for a while after watching it ,the whole anime is a masterpiece ❤️💔
that's what makes it amazing but just so you know johan was manipulating you so you would feel syphaty for him remember he is pure evil and the image of a monster
@c e s Johan just told Tenma a story about when Bonaparta came to take the kids, and mother first chose him, then changed her mind and chose Anna, leaving him wondering for the rest of his life if he was mistaken for Anna, or if she truly chose him over Anna to be saved. There were no questions about why he saved him again.
no, that wouldnt fit the manga at all. even the author confirmed that after the ending he lived a normal life, as foreshadowed by grimmer "I think I figured out how the show must have ended. The magnificent Steiner, he probably became a human again."
He lost to Tenma and turn out he was also has a name. So no reason for him to starting killing again after knowing someone like Tenma still want him to live
Griffith is nothing compared to johan in terms of terrifyingness and evilness becuz what griffith done is just ra*e,murder and some brutal things thats all whereas johan is the devil himself i mean just by looking at his face u can sense something truly horrifying things
Monster is like a horror movie where the villain has a grander vision than just murdering some people whenever they appear you know shit about to go down
I'm happy to be born at the time that Monster was released (in quotation marks), but I mean in the generation that it was created, to be able to read and watch a work of this level, with this villain I have no way to describe my Favorite villain for sure, thank you for the wonderful edition 🤝
@@Flare_kil I think he deserves the title because unlike the perfect villains we get with perfect this and perfect that. Homelandar is very realistic by the fact that he has many weaknesses. And god I love the fact that his theme doesn’t play often only on special occasions which helps express his emotions really well too
One of the few videos on RU-vid dedicated to such a beautiful work as "MONSTER" has already gained a million views - this can not but please. I hope that at least half of a million have watched the entire series completely, they lose a lot.
Surprisingly a lot of ppl who claim “Johan best antagonist” Johan this, johan that, have actually not watched the show but rather follow the trend of ppl enjoying him as a villain and another factor is the show’s length
“It’s funny, of all the lies he told and the things he did the doctor discovered them all except for the one secret that would’ve been inconsequential to him… how ironic.”-❔
