vvvv ......oh man both of you guys

you guys

need to read ten - tenhou doori no kaidanji

you are going to shit, trust me

akagi becomes an entirely different series when you realise that not only is akagi's future pre-determined.... but VERY different from what you might expect if you really do see him as a monster. oh man i just... just read ten. then come back and re-read everything you wrote.

Still, he could have done more, could have been more as a complete human being.

@ordinaryk Even as a pariah, Akagi was able to make friends with fellows of the darkness. The gambler and the dirty cop had his mutual respect and worked together for justice. To the bright-eyed kid coworker with a chance of a future, Akagi showed only kindness, and the stark ugliness of the kind of life he must avoid. From this episode it's clear that you're partly right: Akagi was only ever a monster, but as I see it he was at least a righteous monster.

[eggory]

@ordinaryk It is certain that Akagi had a close relationship with darkness, but it was only where he went to find the kinds of scoundrels on whom he liked to levy justice. To Akagi, there was more to life than the brutish kind of existence chosen by many, but yet he himself chose such a life in order to show them the meaning of their brutality, and to show the hypocrisy of their cowardice. He was cold, but justice is cold, and mercy is an obstruction, sometimes unaffordable.

[ordinaryk]

@eggory In Akagi's case, preventing the viewer from holding in high esteem is the whole point. The full title of the anime is, "Akagi, Mahjong Legend: The Genius who Descended into the Darkness". Episode 6 is titled, "The Talent of the Villain", a title that refers to Akagi, not his opponent. Furthermore, he even refers to himself as a pariah. Akagi is more than just an anti-hero, he's a villainous protagonist. He was never created to be admired, but to be feared.

[eggory]

@ordinaryk I really prefer it when a hero's weaknesses are not so painstakingly accentuated. It's like the writers are purposely trying to keep you from holding him in too high esteem, which is the whole point as I see it: to show how high your esteem can go.

[eggory]

@ordinaryk It's just too bad that he doesn't seem to appretiate life for its own sake. As the series shows, there are times when accepting the possibility of death is necessary to live well, or even to live at all, and Akagi excels in those situations, heroically so. But his dark side really shows in this episode - he is almost as depraved and irrational as a drug addict, seeking a fix in any gutter he can find it.

[ordinaryk]

@eggory Remember what Akagi said to Nangou in episode 1: "You won't live unless you die." Living on the edge of disaster was the only way Akagi ever felt alive. It was his entire reason for being.

[eggory]

Akagi is a man of ultimate integrity. But why is he wasting his time and his life playing a stupid dice game with mindless thugs who would use a sword on him for such a trivial reason? I can't remember if he intended to destroy them like he destroyed those Mahjong players, or if he was only destroying himself.
