EP. REVIEW: Inuyashiki Last Hero

...definitely stronger than the man she's chosen, who's too terrified to do anything against a yakuza who stands at least a full foot taller than him.

That's not at all what I saw going on in that scene. oO Not only was he confronted with a man who was clearly far more powerful by every measure, but who was also backed up by three of his thugs, who each outmatched him as well. And yet he did stand up to them, justifiably terrified as he was.

True, but I never said he liked Gantz, I said he looked through it. I focused on the Jump heroes. I haven't read much One Piece because Viz's Jump skipped like two hundred goddamn chapters to catch up with the Japanese and it was my only real source for all of the stuff in it, and then they went digital only and screw that, especially since you didn't even get to keep old issues but anyway - Jump heroes really are very individualistic and clannish. Especially One Piece. Your Nakama are the most important things, with everyone else being a distant second.

Your friends > your goals >>>> the world is how it goes in most Jump stories and anyone who gets in the way of the first two can go screw themselves be ause they're by definition the antagonists.

I can't remember the last time i saw a Jump hero actually mourn for people he didn't know or have some substantial connection to, even when presented with fields of dead bodies. Is that realistic? To be fair, yes, it kinda is. But that's not the point in this case.

Atom, meanwhile, which would have aired when Old Guy was about seven, if I'm recalling it's original air date, was very much "I want to save people and the world!" first, the villains were true villains, hateful and destructive and clearly evil. At best, they might have been extremely severely misguided and twisted BY evil people.

Thank goodness episode 4 had a happy ending. I couldn't handle another sweet family getting murdered by the, apparently, millions of sociopaths and gangsters that inhabit this city.

PSA: "Move away! This place will kill you!"

he surmises that there must be someone else out there like Hiro and uses his knowledge to summon Ichiro.

It's easy to see parallels between Hiro and Light Yagami at this point. After all, he's a good-looking young man who cares about his family but reveals a lack of morals after gaining power. Though what he does is villainous, some might also look upon some of his actions as just.

I think many people may have the sudden urge to kill the online trolls on the other side, some point in their life when they truly get on people’s nerves. Today’s episode may serve as a lesson: be careful of what you wish for. As mailicious and cowardly their behaviors are, those trolls don’t deserve to be killed.

That being said, I found many viewers find Shishou’s actions strangely “satisfying”. Is that weird or author’s intended effect?

Light didn't care about his family.

His response to this is to slaughter a slough of reporters hounding his father and then go after the denizens of 2chan (a popular Japanese message board) who have been saying nasty things about his mother and applauding her death
