Public humiliation sure can be bad, but taking over the world for it is a little crazy and yeah dumb..

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

not only was that hilariously stupid, the bad translation rendered it even funnier.

there's no way i can not laugh at this:

I expected something a bit more profound as a reason for his insane plan.

That's it..
Like, I expected a bit more sinister origin.
This is probably the part where my admiration of this manga drops a bit.

I don't know how i feel about this, i mean yes public humiliation to a kid as fucked up as Fukubei was can cause a serious damage in his brain and make him believe that all humans are pieces of shit that don't deserve to breathe.

but on the other hand when you compare this to Johan's motives/childhood, it becomes very laughable.

As much as I want to excuse it on his narcissism and psychological damage, it's still a pretty asinine reason.

Honestly it started declining in quality before that, but the first 70 chapters or so of this manga are still up there with the best of anything I've ever read.

Hmm... "taking over the world" part is okay for me, because that would show anyone who doubted him in his childhood that he cannot be doubted. Kinda basic, I know, but alright. But killing everyone? Lame.

So "Friend" is acting a little strange. Interesting. I like tho how Urasawa incorporates other countries into his stories instead of having Japan only. Everyone is at full display.
