It reminded me of the description in the first episode of Monster, describing Johan as the "Beast" from the book of revelations in the "Bible", as well as him being shot and surviving the shot, also alluding that the "Beast" would be hit in the head and then survive, which is "cool" that Johan is not a Makima, Tomie or Damien Thorn who has supernatural powers and because of that he can manipulate whoever he wants because of his powers, Johan is just a human and a human in its purest essence, only such a human "Beast" could act and be the predator of its own species... Johan reminds me of that saying: "man is man's wolf".
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......
Ayoo! I love how the book is in Czech, because even if it's all happening in Germany they found Johan and Anna at the border of Germany and Czechoslovakia. I must say great detail! 🔥🔥🔥🇨🇿🇸🇰🇩🇪
I hated Johan at the beginning, but now I must say he beats mostly every anime character in terms of writing (I still enjoy some other characters better like: Tenma, Grimmer, Dieter etc…).
Well people gas light johan yeah he is a great villian But all side characters of monster are goated You should watch it but remember monster is not everones cup of tea it's slowly built story take its own time if you have patience you will like anime Monster is a physiological anime with great story and plot with very very good side characters
