Karl "throwing money at the problem" Schuwald, also known as Karl "it's all just money to him" Schuwald.
The funny thing is how naturally he mimicked his father's traits, while resenting them just 2-3 episodes back..
It's so sad, johan simply appears in front of them and the next minute they're just dead
When I watched Monster for the first time this year, I immediately decided to cosplay as Johan in some of the conventions in my country (Greece). I have been going to conventions since 2024 and I've never met any other Monster cosplayers in Greece. I genuinely think I might be the only cosplayer in my country who has done a Monster cosplay, lol.
I know that I don't have the appearance to support a character like Johan but I am very pleased about the fact people recognize the character every time I go to a con. Monster is very niche in Greece compared to other anime, so it makes me happy to meet other people who like the anime and know the character. I have so much fun in this cosplay, it's definitely one of my most favourite ones.
I plan to improve the cosplay by changing the wig and getting blue lenses but for now, I'm happy with the results.
During the confrontation scene with Johan, he asked her, "Have you seen it?" (The End) And she firstly gets kind of shocked or smth(?) then gave a smile.
I posted this on TikTok but I haven’t encountered an active fandom on there so I decided to post here as well 🩷. All Anna/Nina haters will be turned over to Johan 🙂
Not everythings needs romance let alone a series like Monster but I can’t help but wonder if Tenma did not miss this date with Angelica Belger(and was not ruined by Eva) where they continued to date, fall in love, become official lovers and maybe get married before Tenma is forced to go on the run and hunt Johan. Yes I know not much is known about her other then the fact she is the daughter of a state senator but still with that maybe she can have access to rescources(correct me if I’m wrong)that can help Tenma(most likely not beliving him to be a murderer) or even if Tenma just simply a love interest in the Monster series.
how do you feel about it?
I don’t know if that’s even possible. But would anyone be able to find a Monster edit.
It’s about that scene “I walked by the devil” yada yada
The music is a bit funk like
And I remember it syncros with gunshots scenes from the own anime + gunshot sound effect
So i was recently wondering whats my fav ep cuz monster is one of my favourite anime but i just couldnt pinpoint one out. I feel like the whole thing is too consistent. So i was curious whats you guys' favourite?
My personal list of my favorite moments. This was a hard list to make, especially ranking each moment. I have plenty more, but wanted to keep this list short.
Apart from the obvious, black turtle neck, blonde hair and a beige suit (or rather grey)?
Or are there alternative looks of his to that?
Ep 16 was so intense, with Tenma getting beaten up, Anna talking to the Turkish woman, and all the terror about the fire. This scene with Dieter and his swagger at Candy provided the much needed comic relief (although it's so disturbing for him to be acquainted with all that alone, poor kiddo)
Just finished Naoki Urasawa’s Monster and if I’m being 100% real I enjoyed it a lot but the discourse online to me seems to conclude Johan doesn’t have any kind of magic powers but there are many many scenes that don’t make any sense unless he does. The show also heavily implies he does. Like the eugenics experiment was a success and him and his sister were the successes. I believe they made Psychics. Hence why Johan can know things about people he shouldn’t and has no real way of knowing and why Nina later can also see other peoples memories. Nina having a name acts as a natural barrier to this in the form of her sense of self but Johan is nameless so there is no identity to protect himself from memories of others. They all become his and Johan was packed full of the worst people on top of his own repressed experiences. Johan is more others than he is himself. Johan can also use this repression in others to mind control them almost. Since he can read minds and transmit memories (we see him do this at the end with Tenma) he can absorb everything about someone even their repressed or stolen memories. Hence why Johan has such a grip on a lot of these killers he can deliver them things they’ve repressed or forgotten as well as his internal version of themselves is more complete than the version living in their real bodies. Johan can essentially pilot them because the real Roberto is more in Johan than in Roberto. Since Johan has access to things Roberto has had removed. He’s s blank slate except what Johan gifts him. Nina starts awakening to her powers towards the end as well. We can see her doing it a few times. She has Johans memories and vice versa. However Johan can’t separate them from himself because he is nameless. Hence why Tenma rebirths him as a new being at the end of the show when Tenma tells him his true name. Johan finally becomes a person who can make his own memories. Rather than this void of everyone else’s. I just think Johan 100% has Psychic powers and the discourse online doesn’t take into account the many times he actually uses it. Like he is a master manipulator but he has an upper hand by being this nameless monster than can consume others memories and even grant them memories they’ve forgotten. I think when Tenma gives him his real name at the end the nameless monster dies and whoever Johan actually is is born.
Watching this for the first time, so please no spoilers. In episode 42, “The Adventures of the Great Magnificent Steiner” at 19:51, “Nina” walks through the door to save Grimmer, you’ll notice the massive rectangle on her forehead. I checked the Netflix & upscale versions and it’s present in both. Just wondering if this is something you guys have seen or if it’s just me 😭.
