I'm Malaysian to and yes it's true my parents are very strict on my grades cause they want me to be happy in the future but they're not that tight like Kousei's mom but the strict part is true
@@sealine22aj but that humour blood makes no scence cuz it's stylized to looks like serious blood and not comedy blood. It's a big design problem that have the anime cuz when blood fall from the violin girl, you don't really "care" cuz it's just same as the protagonist's blood. And it's kind of make you out of the story. You don't really know how to take it, either seriously or as comedy cuz they are designed same. Even basic anime comedy who mix comedy blood and serious blood know how to handle it (like Soul Eater Bleach, or Fma etc).
'I wish you would just die', said Kosei, not realising those would be the last words he would say to his mother. It was thanks to her son's words that Saki realised she messed up. She wanted him to take her place, but her expectations were too high, even when her health was failing. This scene, alongside another spoiler, conveys the tradition that the best musicians lived tragic lives, like Chopin or Beethoven.
Peter Hardman When you open yourself for a lot of ways your life can very quickly become tragic or just dramatic. It's not a tradition. John Frusciante once said he'd had years of terrible, terrible... and that he thought how much he could have done when he was 20 years old. That maybe he could've gone trough this stuff easier, without becoming a drug addict. What he did after that is unclear to me now and sometimes like a painful unreal dream (i just went thru a horrible time a year ago and I WISH it never happened and actually wished to wake up in my bed when it's still may 21), but it can be itself motivating. so I wouldn't agree on that "tradition of tragic lives", but everyone goes through a terrible time. And some of these times should seriously have never happened.

I rewatched this scene yesterday and had a similar reaction. I've been abused too, albeit mentally. Hits home REAAAAALLLY hard, even if the parallels aren't exact. I'm autistic and I just want other people to accept me...and not on their terms. That rarely happens, so I've become bitter. Perhaps this isn't the best anime for me to watch given my background, but it's so good. >.>
How cruel, his is your child ....I mean CHILD . A child can play piano like him is already A Genius ......What's wrong about low marks .This scenes made me CRY
Yui FTAnime4ever He's a child who could play the piano like that BECAUSE of his mother in the first place- But yeah. She should be ashamed. But she did do that for a reason- watch the anime. It was kinda heartbreaking I cried my eyes out.
horohorosrin So you should spoil them into tender little snowflakes that can't bear a pinprick? Both sides suck; a parent would have to walk the fine line between
No! Just no! The mother messed up big time. I don't care she's sick. That's not an excuse to abuse your child like this. There are different ways to prepare your kid for a loss... I'll never have a sympathy in anyone hurting others. There's never a proper reason to do so!! Never!
Which "She" are you referring to? It can't be Kaori or Tsubaki, because they make him bleed all the fucking time.

@@sealine22aj Well you just said that Kaori or Tsubaki doesn't make Kousei bleed.. And that person is trying to say that they made Kousei bleed.. But not seriously.. Sheesh. Try to understand
@@krysterio Kousei's friends don't abuse him wtf, when they "abuse" him it's a form of humor and Kousei doesn't suffer from it, but when it comes for his mom well here she's an abusive piece of shit and she makes Kousei suffer
Kim Caze coz its a mother child problem, most ppol just dont want to get involve, its different wen they arent related, ppol jump ryt in to help, but in these situations its hard to think what action is right and wud really help without really having urself involve.. seeing a mother do something like that to her son, her own flesh and blood, says alot and it scares ppol to take action..
@@luqmuhmmad2616 the part where kousei only wanted to make her happy. Yet she treats him like that, no wonder why he wanted his mother to die... She deserved it, call me whatever the hell you want but I don't care, she's a bad mother...
as someone who has been abused, this scene breaks my heart. Not only is his mom abusing him she’s hurting him in the inside. Nobody’s perfect. Her illness isn’t even a good excuse for her to abuse the living shit out of him, because my mom also has a illness and beats the shit out of me. Someone should have called the police or step In, people commit suicide from being abused and they just say it’s nothing. Even if the parent were abused that also doesn’t give you the right to do that to your child. His mom is disappointing to look at and doesn’t deserved to be called a mom.
I agree. What she did was unforgivable! Who gives a flying fuck about her damn illness. She literally deprived her own kid a god damn childhood! That little boy wasn't even over the age of 10 yet and he's all covered in bruises from head to toe!
I'm so sorry you had to endure a period of pain and suffering. Even if you have something very personal, like an illness, whether it's mentally or physically, it's no excuse to hurt someone for making a mistake.
I know this is an old comment but I'd like to add my own perspective to show that just because someone has an illness or was abused doesn't mean abuse is right. My mother was abused, yet her reaction upon having me was to move as far away from most of the abusers as she could while still living in an urban area. In 2009 she was diagnosed with cancer and yet all her thoughts were on how to spend the best times with me, make the best memories, how to prepare for her passing since I didn't have anyone else who was healthy who could take me, etc. Her thoughts were on my life and happiness, not on her own mortality. She was most devastated that she wouldn't be able to see me become an adult. She never once lashed out at me. (However against all odds, my mother is still here, and I am happy for that.) The cycle of abuse can be broken, and illness is not an excuse.
As someone who was also abused by his mother I really felt this scene. It was like seeing myself on screen with him getting beat up and the high expectations people have of him.
I am part of asian and I hate it when parents want to be perfect. We are human, we make mistakes just accept it because without mistakes we would never learn perfection is just an illusion.
1:32 At that moment, she woke up from his son's words. 1:59 And hearing those words, made her realize what she has been doing to him and regrets it until her final moment. That sucks, after this scene Kosei's just dead inside and instead of grieving for his mom's death he's preparing for the competition. Children only wants to have their parents happiness that's why they work hard. Don't come to the point that you treat them like robots, they have feelings too.
I am actually impressed that Natsuki Hanae could even go that high pitch in voice. Though his voice as a younger Kousei did sound a bit older than what he was supposed to be but I still love it.
As harsh as Kousei's mother is, there is a part in the anime where we see her crying and worrying about what will happen to her son after she's gone. She's just really worried Kousei won't be able to survive and make a living for himself, and so she's pushing him out of the crushing stress and fear inside of her. Not saying she was right to beat her kid, but the whole scenario is a tragedy for both sides, whether in Kousei's perspective or his mother's.
hayashi manabu Of course. Saki abused Kosei due to high expectations; she wanted Kosei to take her place. Kosei's final words to his mother, a disowning rant, made it so tragic, the beat up pianist would fall into a two year depression. Then comes April...
Even though....she could’ve sat with kousei and spoke to him properly I mean he’s just a kid...all you need to do is tell him that he should do better than this and appreciate his hard work while telling him that it’s his mother’s dream and that’s it but not hitting him like an animal or something !
because while what she did does not have justification, she did everything out of love for her child, because she was afraid of what would happen to him in his future,so she did what she thought was best for him
Elina Carmina koari doesn’t abuse kousei why do u keep saying that yeah she might hit him but nothing serious all the “blood shed” coming from her or other characters is just for comedy’s sake. It’s not serious it’s over exaggerated which is why his “injuries” “heal” quickly. His mother’s abuse left bruises and scars for the sake of other noticing her abuse and gossiping about it obviously stating her abuse was serious. It didn’t only leave physical scars but mentally too. When it comes to abuse it’s not all about the physical things. His mother hit him and didn’t in the slightest show him love while his friend moved him with their words of worry and encouragement. My god it’s so obvious u don’t have to be smart to understand this.
You already failed as a mother when all you care about is if he can use his “talent” to support himself one day when you’re already out of time. You failed, utterly, when all you did was place a curse on him with the precious time that you had left when what he needed the most was the memory that he was loved.
If I want my kid to be great, I should let him have fun with his friends. I should give him free will, let him choose his own dream and destiny. He doesn’t need to live up to my expectations or anyone else’s.
His mother was a selfish asshole. I just finished watching this anime for the second time in my life. She did so many heartless and inhuman things to the child and he is just too special, loved her anyway.
Idk from experience I'd say it might be because mothers, even this one, shape the child in a good way as well. While they sometimes do horrible things, they might not always come from bad places. She wanted Kousei to have a good career as a pianist because it is hard to make a living as a pianist unless you're very good. People doing bad things don't always mean that they're bad people, and it's a peaceful thought that helps me through some traumatic experiences. Carrying hatred has done me and my mother more harm than necessary.
@@alexsupertramp5600 I wish you could heal from other sources not from: Evil people may be not that evil, they have their reasons. - Not a good source.
I cried at this scene more than the letter part because I kinda can relate to kousei. When I was a child, my mom had high expectations to my grades and I fulfilled her wish by bringing her all A's. She said that if I got good grades, I can get have a high salary work and she will be happy. I got all A until I was 8. I got a D in maths and my mom said I disappointed her. She was very stressed those days because my father can't work because he is very sick and she is pregnant with my sister. She talked like that out of stress. But I didn't know anything because I was 8. I tried really hard and didn't got good marks and my mom scold me with harsh words. So I just don't bother to get good grades anymore and I cry every night and whenever Im in the bathroom. My mom noticed and talked to me. Everything resolved and now I try to get good grades now DISCLAIMER :MY MOM IS NOT ABUSIVE. SHE DIDN'T WANT TO SCOLD ME TOO.
when you said your mom was pregnant at that time, I understood it all. Most of the pregnant women tend to be easily agitated, so yeah.. that's how it is.
I don't believe that the anime justifies Suki's actions at the end, but instead represents Kousei's release from his mother's abuse and expectations. Also his realization that he is not at fault for her declining health or her death. Kaori's death was such a phenomenal stepping stone for him because he felt the same way until he realized that music is essentially what connects them and that's why he has to play, so that he won't forget.
I feel this kid, my mom used to beat me up every single day for not doing good in school. It was very difficult for me since I had ADHD but parents never cared instead I got scars on my back and hands .
Guys i want to ask a question. I have seen this in most of animes(INCLUDING THIS ANIME) that AUDIENCE finds girls beating boys as funny and cute and praise the girl. I KNOW THOSE ARE JOKES, I laugh on them too. But would you guys still find this beating funny If genders are reversed.??? Because i have seen that then many people start hating the boy for abuse and violence towards a girl and did not take it as a joke. I just cannot understand this double standards/reactions.,, Feel free to correct me and sorry if i hurted you.👍
@@samsonstevens7181 friends don't push their buddies down to the ground and pummel them with kicks because they won't play piano for a girl who accused their friend of taking a panty shot and proceeded to beat on them. (Kousei wasn't allowed to say no to Kaori even though she falsely accused him and was literally choking him out. His friends beat him on the ground with their feet, stomping on him).
Terrible as it is: Props to this kid. Not many have the courage to act much less speak against their parent(s). 🙏🏾 It’s a terrible emotional curse/shackle that we’re all bound to by birth; breakable but suffocating. 😔
He just wants to make her happy, to make her proud. And this is what he deserve? The people are right, she is a monter! Only real anime lovers cried!❤️
This is the first anime that ever made me tear up, and it was this scene that made it happen. I never thought I ever related to an anime character as much as Kousei, this scene was basically Me and my Dad.
We know the mother loves him already, but how can she live with herself seeing her own son having to hide his arms because of how bruised and beaten she's made it? It sucks that she never had a chance to redeem herself or for Kousei to get his mother back.
Even if he is a genius that excels higher than anyone else, you gotta remember his limitations as a kid, he needs to have fun, you can’t expect him to pay as good as professional adults unless he literally plays the piano 24/7.
While it's true she wanted to grant his own future this is going too far, to beat your child until he bleeds after he took the FIRST Damn place in the competition is ridiculous. he was also wrong by saying he wish his mother would die
@@elfryeorin tbh i feel the same way the kid is literally 8 years old in that scene correct? like how u gone do that ? the child even had a mindset about wanting to make his mother happy instead he gets a mom abusing the shit out of him for mistakes like that like dam
I resonate a lot with Kousei. Only physically disciplined, but verbally abused all the time throughout my childhood. Even now, although my relationship with my mother has improved a lot, since I moved out. It's really a shame that parents like this have turned out like that, but it's a result of their own upbringing and experiences. Best we can do is to learn from it, and make sure to do better, when it comes to our own future children.
That little, wholesome, innocent and loving smile he has before starting to get beat is heartbreaking... after that, his face is just the most horrible combination I have ever felt: grief, extreme sadness, anger, and so much despair. My father isn’t exactly an abuser... but his treatment towards me has always been deplorable. Questioning and judging every single inch of my being. And then, some time ago, he said he was going to adopt a homeless kid in the hopes he “came out right.” ...yeah...
This is what the reality is,she did those things to grow him,so that he can live without her and earn by himself,this is the reason he was known as the child prodigy,and if the boy himself loves his mum so much than why should we hate her? We never saw how much she suffered beating him,they never showed us much,the boy when he realised why his mother did all that was happy,that his mother truly cared about him
@@Raghav-nr5el Doesn't matter if she did care or not, the old hag couldn't even think properly on how to prepare her kid. Thank god her sickness put her down like the bitch she was.
Her son got beaten up to the pulp everyday for making a minor mistake yet still smiling hoping his piano play will cure his mom Imagine how shocked deep down for kousei's mom when he finally snapped and told her to just die, his mom had a good intention but she forced him too hard
It was a heat of the moment thing but for crying out of loud, what else did you expect lady. You are beating your child infront of everybody, you are screaming at him and abusing him, what else he has to say to you. His last memory of you, is his mother abusing him for the hard work which he tried to do.
I don't get where people get "she's still a good mom because she got him into piano and still cares about him". I don't care, if you beat your child who loves you into hating you, you are a terrible parent.
As a youtuber i love said, your intentions doesnt change the final result. Yes, you wanted your son to be strong and to be a good pianist, giving him the only proly talent you could gave him, but that doesnt mean you didnt hit him and push him to the point he hated and wished you were dead. That doesnt erase his bad memories from childhood, or his afternoons without Tsubaki and Watari. That also, doesnt erase his musical ability. You can hate his mom or love her, you can forgive her or trash her, but for me... there´s no way you can say she didnt do anything wrong, because beating your own child IS a horrible mistake. The anime helps you to understand her view, but it doesnt mean they are justifying her.
Bish this is soo real to me.. becauseasian parents/moms will literally get mad at you for making a snakl mistake in a live performance.. "You practiced hours and hours and you'll make tht SMALL mistake!?!" Its real Bc i have friends like tht.
My mom did that when I messed up in a violin recital. She compared me to my younger brother, and he messed up as well. He was her "golden child" though, so it didn't matter to her.
Kid or not,That "child and parent" love is extremely fragile and once it breaks,once the kid snaps NO matter how many apologies and excuses there's no going back or even hope of repairing it,That kind of relationship and bond is very strong but if it's broken you know said person,most of the time the parents REALLY messed up. It doesn't matter what your beliefs are or what you think,There are no excuses for this kind of treatment especially from the stronger bond between the parents to the child who is the mother.
The sad thing about being abused from a young age, you start to accept that as your reality. Being abused for a long time from your earliest memories means your outlook on the world and your situation is vastly warped. You believe that your situation is okay because it’s “normal” for you. It takes something, some outside force, to remove those lenses on the world and show you that what happened wasn’t okay. My own experience being that I was once beaten black and blue, to the point of bleeding, on the backs of my thighs and I thought that whatever happened, I forget why I was punished, was bad enough for me to deserve the punishment. It took years until I went to a therapist at 19, for her to look at me and say “that wasn’t okay.” For my entire reality to shift ever so slightly for things to be clear. I realized that everything I’d ever known, the hitting, the throwing, the slapping, all of that wasn’t normal and wasn’t okay. I would watch those “stop child abuse” ad campaigns and completely ignore them or brush them off because “my dad doesn’t put cigarettes out on me, and my mom doesn’t drink until she’s passed out on the couch, I’m not being abused.” Abuse comes in all shapes and forms and isn’t always physical.
And some say anime r for children . They r just cartoons. What emotions can they have.... Just watch this anime.. The depth of human emotions can be seen here. Though emotional but the ending was good. He ended up with a good girl.
This was the scene that made me say “fuck whatever reason you have for Teaching him piano” you don’t beat ur kid Especially after he won Don’t care either that she regretted it afterwards either
i didnt get a single tear when kaori died but the story with his mother and him made me cry more than twice and more... i hated his mom really at the beginning but after finishing this anime i couldnt hate her anymore even when arima is my favorite of all times i just cant hate her i dont know why but im ok with that because it was actually so sad that his mom got so mentally ill that she didnt realise what she did to arima in that case she suffered even more than arima with all the punches he got and that is a important part too!
This hit hard for me than the death of kaori, this scene resonated to me because, this is exactly what happen in my life, the difference is that it isn't about the piano, it's about my grades in school, the truth is I'm not an intelligent person, but I tried so hard to prove that i can reached higher grades, to get higher honors this includes doing some shady stuff such as cheating, initiating a massive silent cooperation, connection to intelligent students, infiltrating teachers office and many more, i did it because I wanted to proveto her that i am that kid, unfortunately throughout the duration of my school, I could only get at top 5 to 3 honor, those honors are nothing compared to being the top 1, but there was one moment where I was no honor at all, a failure as many may call it. And then this exact scene of this anime happen to me in real life, I was at grade 8 at that time, I failed mathematics, it was at home and then she throw the report card and bag at me and remove all notebooks. And then the exact dialogue was shared to each other, the only difference with our dialogue is that i didn't say i wanted her to die, i cried, she never see me cry, the only time she see me cry was probably when i was just a kid. I hide my emotions and feelings throughout my life because of a belief that no one would actually care, especially if boys cried, but when i was on my breaking point. I lash out like a crazy motherfucker who have lost all manners. And then just turns away as if I were a some kind of born out villain out of nowhere.
It's funny when I watched this I didnt exoect this series to even have this scene. Kinda why I loved the piani again. This series made me realize soemthing bout myself in the world's harshest and most beautiful ways
