| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Starting this chapter, Morita's new goals were clear. 1. Clean up this tragedy and leave without any more death. 2. Keep the worst of them all, Hidemine, safe and sound to fulfill his job. However, the sorrowful anger that was impossible to be rescued from had overtaken Kunio, he no longer felt pain; like a boxer whose mental strain reached the maximum, he fought on the assumption that he was going to die and that all he wanted was to kill. Someone fighting with the resolve of protecting their own life could not handle him and Morita feels he cannot win. I don't mean to summarize word for word, but I adore when Fukumoto describes his situations in ways such as this. There are many times that I try to describe what is happening, and the words that he puts to the situation feel so perfect; better than any way I could have expressed it. It's artistic and literary, and it's definitely a charm of his work. There's definitely regret in the fact that the pain and abuse that has influenced all of the tragedies that have occurred tonight has finally transformed Kunio into a beast as well. His gaze on page 18 or 19, after stopping down glasses bro and preparing to fight Morita said it all. That said, I do look forward to seeing what comes of this. There certainly are weapons around, I would assume they will come into play again, and if you wanted to keep going on a dark trajectory downwards, we definitely could. The topic of boxers who no longer feel pain was fascinating to me because I had never heard of that concept before. Of course, I've heard about adrenaline keeping someone going to the degree that they do not realize they were shot or stabbed, but I never placed that concept in a boxing ring before. Googling this, it appears that typically one does not feel pain in the boxing ring. Perhaps I'm exposing myself as somehow who doesn’t fight, but with this knowledge, the act of fighting professionally is all the more mesmerizing. Entering a flow state where all that matters is your victory... In retrospect perhaps this should have been obvious! Also, on the topic of being unable to defeat a man who is assuming his death, it gives me strong Kurosawa memories. The “die you demon” stuff! One lesson I took away from that series was that resolution really matters, if one man is suicidal and the other man wants to preserve his life, the self preserving man may or likely will start running away. In the Hagakure there's a passage that states: "In just refusing to retreat from something one gains the strength of two men." |
