Johan Did NOTHING Wrong | A Character Analysis of Naoki Urasawas Monster: Johan Liebert

Описание: Merry Christmas to all and to all!

This is my Magnum Opus, our love letter to Naoki Urasawas Monster (My twin sister and I)

In just a few days Naoki Urasawas Monster will hit Netflix, and although this video took me almost an entire year to complete (Started writing back in February) I made it a goal to complete this before Monster hit Netflix, in hopes that fans both old and new can stumble on this video and spark healthy discussions (ahem...) of our thoughts and perceptions.

I'll preface here as well, but...

Despite the title of this video, JOHAN LIEBERT HAS DONE PLENTY OF WRONG, it is merely a bait title to some degree.

Justifying ones actions vs. rationalizing ones actions are completely different.

I am in no way attempting to discard the accountabilities that Johan should face for his actions, but instead attempt to make sense of it all.

Johan for the past 20 years has been an unexplainable enigma, and as such after extensively watching and reading Monster I wish to make an attempt that could potentially answer the many questions that fans of Monster may have.

To help extinguish the perception of Monsters ending to be one that falls flat or does not meet expectations to one that is profound, Monsters ending did exactly what it needed to do and ended rather greatly.

But is not as impactful unless one decides to try and make sense of it all.

And in this video, I present to you what I believe to be... the closest thing to the truth and the motives of the antagonist of the story, Johan Liebert.

*****DISCLAIMER******

I am not claiming everything I say in this video to be FACTUAL, while these opinions were brought about with extensive research of the source material and conjecture influenced by the thematic pattern within the story, it is at the end of the day an opinion.

This is not the sole singular way to perceive Naoki Urasawas Monster nor am I trying to say that there is no other way to interpret the story or its characters, but this is what I personally believe to be the closest thing to an answer that I could conjure that remains consistent and faithful to how Naoki Urasawa portrays his works.

If you have a different opinion/perception of the story, please share it ^^ I would love to see any sorts of challenges or addendums to my stances
