(Spoiler alert) About the ending

The real monster in the title of episode 74 actually refers to Nina. We always thought that the monster refers to John, but the title of episode 74 is a metaphor for the monster. John's doing so much just because he doesn't want the real monster to wake up. On the hospital bed, John and Tianma told the cause, and when Tianma heard it, he understood, which is why Tianma's expression was distorted when he heard it.

In the fairy tale, one of the two monsters goes east and the other goes west. The monster heading east was a little boy, which was John.

"I don't need a name, and I live happily without a name. Because we are monsters without a name." The little boy ate the monster that went west.

The metaphor is that John ate Nina's monster and wiped out all related memories, in order to prevent Nina from recalling it, because Nina "lives happily without a name".

The name he finally got, but there is no one who can call him. John, what a lovely name.

Lonely John.

    9/10. The cross-perspective narrative and the theme are integrated. John symbolizes the inevitable human disaster, whether he seduces a middle-aged detective who shoots a juvenile offender with alcohol, or fills the murder scene with pictures of the murderer's mother to induce murder, and is good at deceiving people. Monsters are all living beings. The epitome of evil in all human nature; Nina's secret protected by John and the picture book written by the owner of Rose House represent the helplessness and escape of evil, and Tianma incarnates an awakened conscience to fight against evil. Lines add a sudden revelation to the climax, helping the people in the story prove that their own existence comes from the needs of others (such as veterans and little girls, babies falling into the false company of prostitutes before they die), and John confronting Sophie's choices because of his mother , who can't recognize Yumei and women's clothing, can't establish the concept of his own existence (calling the orphan who follows him to go to the red light district to find his mother, to experience the despair of being unneeded by others), the pursuit of fear to break through the limitations of human beings and move closer to the divine. The pursuit of attracting children to play the dangerous game of standing on the high platform, John disappears from the hospital bed at the end, whether it is the end of sin or a hint that something bigger is about to happen.

    Monster is the code name of all experimental items, which is different from the actual monster. John's dislike and unbelief stemmed from the shadow brought by his mother, so his sister's words completely overturned his mother's education. He chose to become a monster by himself (not being trained by experiments). a monster). It is instinct to protect his sister, but he chose an unusual way - no one agrees with his lover's way is his sadness. Tutoring is very important. Don't betray those who trust you!

Monster quotes

  • Toshio Iwai: I was really surprised when Mr. Tenma was marked as a suspect!

    Inspector Lunge: You were surprised? Was it unexpected?

    Toshio Iwai: It was beyond expectation, to think that he killed someone... To tell you the truth, I didn't think he could do such a thing. Although we only went out drinking about twice three years ago, he was not a bad person.

    Inspector Lunge: If you say that he was not a bad person, does that make him a good person?

    Toshio Iwai: A good person...? He was more of the type of person who didn't like to stand out.

    Inspector Lunge: So a person who doesn't like to stand out is a good person?

    Toshio Iwai: Well, all I'm saying is that he wasn't an unpleasant person.

    [good-natured chuckle]

    Inspector Lunge: [deadpan stare]

  • Fritz Verdeman: Can I believe in you? Everything you told me... What you're trying to do... I can't do anything for you right now, but... can I believe in you, Dr. Tenma?

    Kenzou Tenma: [indicates his gun] You shouldn't trust people who wave things like this around too much.
