Shame. It’s like dropping Berserk after the Golden Age.

Theo Vorster

This was indeed a very heavy episode, and unfortunately the reality of what Robin did to Kiruko reflects an all too common occurrence of real-life, with the vast majority of sexual assaults in the real world being committed by someone close to the victims and survivors of sexual assault (e.g. friends and family). For those interested in reading along with the manga, Episode 12 adapted the remaining majority of chapter 31 (25/32 pages), nearly all of chapter 32 (26/28 pages), the last few pages of chapter 35 (5/28 pages), and all of chapter 36 minus its very last page (30/31 pages). This is equivalent to about 2.86 chapters of manga. Episode 13 will likely adapt the remaining last couple of pages of chapters 32 and 36, then all of chapters 33 and 34, and then the majority or all of chapter 37 (and a couple of scenes from chapter 38). In case it wasn’t clear from the previous episode with the labels on the cribs of the “twins”, Dr. Sawatari’s reaction in this episode to mixing up the babies hopefully makes the implication that one of the “twins” is in fact a clone much more explicit. Also this is something more readily obvious to Japanese-speaking audiences, but in Japanese, one of the meanings for the word “maru” is circle. So the significance that Sawatari drew a circle on the foot of one of Tokio’s “twins” should hopefully be more clear to people now. And Mimihime’s reaction to seeing the sky for the first time and falling back into the lap of Shiro provides further hints and foreshadowing to his and Mimihime’s future. The use of visual symbolism and foreshadowing was particularly impressive this episode. Kiruko’s uncertainty of which kanji for gender to fill out on their ID card/form (and later crumpling up of it) was an effective way to illustrate Kiruko’s internal struggles with identity and gender. Another interesting use of symbolic framing is utilized at the beginning of Kiruko’s first conversation with Robin, where Kiruko is viewed through the glass of a broken screen or tank, the center of the crack in the glass being overlayed with the back of Kiruko’s skull (those who recall Episode 3 may remember the hints that Kiriko may have been shot before the brain transplant occurred). While the reveal of Robin’s true character this episode is definitely meant to be a twist, it wasn’t completely out of the blue either. Besides the violent manner Robin was first introduced in episode 3, there is an extremely brief blink-and-miss-it shot in the same episode, specifically during the sequence where Haruki’s brain is being transplanted into Kiriko’s body, there is a flash of two images (distorted by static effects), of what is implied to be residual memories of Kiriko. One of those images is a point-of-view shot of Kiriko’s own hands intertwined with another more masculine hand while in a bed (a.k.a. basically the visual short hand that Kiriko was having sex with someone). So yeah, taking this episode into account there is evidence that Robin had unfortunately previously been in a sexual relationship with Kiriko (keep in mind, Robin was in his early-to-mid 20s during 2034, and Kiriko was only 15, so that would have been statutory rape on Robin’s part). *and before anyone tries to quote the “but the age of consent in Japan is 13” schtick to me, that’s just the national minimum age (and is currently in the process of being raised to be 16), every single prefecture in Japan has passed ordinances raising the age of consent to be 18. So besides just being ethically scuzzy, Robin being in a sexual relationship with Kiriko when she was only 15 would indeed be criminal in real-life Japan (though hopefully most people don’t need legal validation to recognize the serious ick factor of Robin having potentially been in a sexual relationship with a 15-year old). And if anyone is interested in starting the manga after this season is finished (it is currently planned to adapt the majority or all of tankōbon Volume 6 of the manga, which collects up to chapter 37), I personally would still recommend starting the manga from the beginning regardless, as in addition to the standard cutting of extra dialogue and scenes from the anime for run-time and cinematic pacing, the chapter titles and cover pages of the manga also play a role in experiencing the foreshadowing of the story that the anime can’t quite replicate (due to the inherent difference in mediums). The mangaka of Heavenly Delusion, Masakazu Ishiguro (who is active on Twitter), their most well known previous work is “And Yet the Town Moves” (also known as Soremachi), which was serialized from 2005-2016. They have also done a number of other single volume manga and short stories collections. Ishiguro's has also stated that the major influences for the Heavenly Delusion series, include the works Akira, Armored Trooper Votoms, and an old Japanese science-fiction novel titled "Dogra Magra" that was written Kyūsaku Yumeno (who appears as a character in Bungo Stray Dogs) and published in 1935.

Jalen Holmes

First of all, thanks for the info. Second, did you have all this pre-typed lmao?

SixPathTobi

Lmao shit was so un needed.. Mangaka was prolly horny asf especially after making the brother and sister united in one body for no reason

SixPathTobi

I'd read Berserk still after what happened but not Heavenly. They're different enough to choose one over the other

Yvnngpd

Not really it's exactly the same I literally don't see the difference

Ross

Real. I already had little patience with this manga, especially after the Author's 18th display of barely disguised fetishs'. Also haven't watched past episode 1.

Pan Cakes

I was hoping they wouldnt add that cringe scene but gg rip my eyes

Jahari Fields

Mangaka try not to add sexual assault challenge Level: impossible

SixPathTobi

Yes really Yvnngod. Proof is already here. Ppl dropped the manga after this while many other Berserk readers continued to read. You can literally pick anyone that did that to Berserk

2023-06-20 00:04:35 No the thing is Haruki let Robin go and than acted like nothing happened after that. That's why alot people dropped not because of r@ped but because Haruki acted like nothing happened and Robin got literally to easy. Yes we know that Robin will appear again but it will highly likely be a seen of him sexuilly assaulting Haruki again. And I swear if he just get a beat down again with him not dying or him suffering something more painful than death than I'm sorry the show going to drop for alot of people.

Also you can't do a r@pe scene and have your main character who was sexuilly assaulted act the same way like before they was sexuilly assaulted. But also no body is not denying the fact the story is good. But if we gonna have Robin capturing and sexuilly assaulting Haruki again which almost guaranteed that is going to happen again in future chapters. Than don't let Haruki act nonchalant about it and having him stop caring for Robin

Zeraph

No yea I’m dropping this shit

iChris

We were all hoping that the anime would change that one part but they really stayed true to the source. One of the few time I wished a studio didn’t.

yaboyroshi

Lupa knows nothing about Black Clover. Only Sheera and I have some knowledge and Sheera only seen like half the anime, i read up to start of spade arc. A reaction to that movie would not make sense lol

Ginger Dwarf

Easy drop. Not watching this shit.

Zeraph

Actually wtf this is why I don’t tell people I like anime because of fucking shit like that servers no fucking purpose

2023-06-20 00:04:35 I guess it some how I different to me it's like any other scene like that goblin slayer, or any other scene with r*pe
2023-06-19 22:03:58 I guess it somehow seems the same to me it's like any other scene like that goblin slayer, or any other scene with r*pe I literally don't know how it's any different

TheMonarch

Disgusting episode, glad i did not start this series(i can't handle shit like this, saw the clips from youtube)

Mari

Oh damn, I’m surprised that lupa hasn’t seen it. Than I recommend you watch it Roshi. It was pretty good

LelaniG

Nah I had creeper vibes about Robin since he was introduced, he was super protective about those two

Hasnain Khan

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Coco

This was something everyone talked about, but its glossed over so fast in the manga I forgot any details on how it even happened.

Coco

I knew this had to be inspired by Akira, both the vibe of the manga and anime reminded me of it.

Yvnngpd

I literally don't get this reasoning you know how many show and movies do this same type of shit idk how a picture is even more weird and it got way worse shit then this but everybody different

this is one long ass username (edited)

Pan Cakes

ong, they shouldve just skipped that part entirely, its random af and never gets brought up again

SixPathTobi

I guess I'm different lol. I'm not triggered by r@pe stuff, it just serves no purpose. I handled Goblin Slayer and really didn't care as it's monsters while this is a grown man and "child/teen" WHO LITERALLY SAID TO FORGET ABOUT IT after this and also took NO revenge...Like bruhh

Theo Vorster

The aftermath is not glossed over in the manga (which itself still isn’t done). Now, people are perfectly free to feel that not enough has been done, but it’s inaccurate to say that that it has been glossed over.

Daniel Robb

Rare Zema mention lmaooo

Koifull

@Yvnngpd it doesn't matter how many shows or movies 'do this type of shit' it's still disgusting!

Zeraph

Idk what the fuck you be watching. What live movies/shows you be watching were someone gets r@ped by someone who she saw as family. Maybe I’m just in shock (no it’s definitely not that)

Ougi (edited)

2023-06-20 00:20:49 The worst part is that it's basically glossed over afterwards, Robin gets 0 comeuppance as well
2023-06-19 22:13:01

Coco

It felt like maybe two chapters, no repercussions and they just moved on.

Coco

Idk it just felt quick to me and a “that sucked” and they kept moving forwards

Mari

Cannon or non cannon, it was still good. That’s why I recommended it.

Merfhew

That's disappointing to hear, but I would have rather found that out for myself next week.

Danger Tomato

Lol I got bored of this anime on like episode 4 and now everyone is dropping it?

zILovePelmeni _

you could tell robin was a voilent person from ep2

Theo Vorster

Goblin Slayer’s depiction of sexual assault (and Berserk to a lesser extent) is far more gratuitous than Heavenly Delusion’s depiction (which as far as manga with explicit sexual assault scenes go, portrays it far better (for lack of a better word) than many anime/manga do).

Mari

I stopped watching this like 4 weeks ago. I lost interest in it after a while

Wsgyan

Actually Maru means circle in Japanese if I’m not mistaken so now I’m pretty sure that the marked one is maru and what if that doctor that marked him was the doc kiruko has been looking for ?

Greg Harrison

I hear the opposite that it doesn't get glossed over...but even if that's true why would you post that and spoil everyone?

zILovePelmeni _

yes i think so too they have the same face + we saw him getting the scar on his face

Theo Vorster

Not really, it affected Kiruko’s entire character. They are still in the process of rebuilding and redefining their identity in the manga. But if what has been published so far still feels insufficient to you regardless, that’s by all means your prerogative.

Ross

Let's keep the glazing to a minimum here lads.

Yvnngpd

Kiruko also isn't a child he's 18 it's still r*pe though obviously he's conflicted cause he thought of Robin as his hero who protected the kids and now that he's in his sister body that he loves(which is also weird but idc that much)then Robin does this yk I don't see the difference with berserk to me it's exactly the same same thing wit mushoko tensei wit the weird scenes when berserk had the scenes I was like well DAMN this shi is heat😂I know this manga isn't done so stuff can still happen to robin

Wsgyan

And yet you’re still commenting on episode 12 reaction bitchass nigga

Euphoria Cutie

It’s part of the story and huriko identity. Of course they would keep it in the anime too.

Merfhew

Minor? I thought Kiruko was, like, 18 or 20? It's an unforgivable action either way, but your comment has me wondering if I've remembered incorrectly.

AsuraTM

Is this is what everyone was bracing for and upset about? It’s absolutely disgusting, but they live in some kind of apocalyptic world. I thought it was known that when society breaks down humans can tend to turn vile. People are saying it’s unnecessary idk

✨《HENTAI GOD》✨

I have never been so inraged at an anime before in my life that shit at the end im not exactly sure what happens next but im assuming the worst and its going to piss me off so much like just why why tf would they do this SMFH.

Euphoria Cutie

It’s not glossed over. Maru literally beats the shit out of robin for doing that to kiruko.

Greg Harrison

Don't scroll up spoilers galore

Theo Vorster

Stuff like sexual assault (and graphic death) in media is one of the things that gets most readily and easily spoiled by audiences to each other. Think about how many people got into series like Berserk because the first thing they were told/spoiled about was The Eclipse, or people checking out Devilman because they heard about its ending. Anyways, whether or not one thinks the aftermath of this plot development was properly dealt with sufficiently (so far, the manga is still unfinished) is something individuals should decide for themselves by reading manga (be it right now or after the season finale).

Kingmakaii

Bro I ain’t never Been so mad bro wtf whoever wrote this bro was like Ight what can i do to make y’all the most uncomfortable as possible ah yes ik 😭

EZ

Bro some people where saying he deserved to get raped,since he was wanting to see him the whole time,

Yvnngpd

He/she isn't a minor they just got r*ped also berserk is the main one

Yvnngpd

Yes I know but Yall saying dropping it like it's something new and omg I've never heard of show or movies adding that to it not that crazy

Yvnngpd

Also someone getting r*ped by someone they saw as family is more realistic irl but if y'all uncomfortable feel free too

Tyrese Marshall

tbf if the effects are as severe as the methods used (i.e. rape) then it can be a great plot device and part of a character's personality, Gut's childhood in Berserk being an example

Daniel Robb

I like how convinced y'all are (Sheera * Lupa) that the kids got different messages 🤣 kids dont listen is just what I assume. Roshi just there like "where'd this theory come from" 🤣 (i stg if they're right imma be mad)

EZ

Yea someone was like "Hey you got what you asked for" like bruh

Wsgyan

Some niggas here need to see a doctor fr how tf could they say sum shit like that

Tyrese Marshall

I was just saying on another comment how if it has a prominent effect after the fact on a character it works great and isn't unnecessary no matter how disgusting, such as in Berserk. Idk if that's the case here though

EZ

9anime mfs are built different they always say the worst shit in the comments

Zeraph

You’re right abt her age. My fault on that idk where I got that from. But if being more realistic is a good thing because the way you worded that made it seem so. You need help man.

Mari

There’s very few people like us SixPathTobi. I watched and read goblin slayer/Berserk/claymore and I didn’t get triggered. Like it was bad of course but I’ve never been to the point where imma stop reading or watching the show because of a disgusting event that just happened.

sorah

yea.. shit had me feeling sick to my stomach at the end

Tyrese Marshall

@SixPathTobi the actual panels of little Guts getting raped by that big guy will always be crazy though

Ross

What if, just hypothetically, in some universe, on a planet called Earth, with trees and an ocean, fauna and flora, mammals and insects, you could comment on a video without watching it⁉️⁉️⁉️😰😰😰😲😲😲😯😯

Theo Vorster

Yeah that’s literally all it was. They are over prescribing significance to it, like what they did with the egg in Train to Busan.

Mari

People who has read and watched berserk. Everything that happened In that is classified information that stays to the individual, nobody needs to know who hasn’t watched seen it fr 😭😭

Wsgyan

Bro if he’s saying this he obviously watched the whole episode so this guy is just being a hater and you’re doin tricks on his D lmao let it go

Haaa?

this is the part i said i hated in the manga....its just too much Robin messed Kiruko up mentally and physically and it felt like it went on for so long in the manga.

MonarchXIII

Nahh bro, this shit is mad uncomfortable wtf. I'm sick... 🤢🤮

A1_MiLFshAkE

I can't imagine what Haruki is feeling. First he is getting r**ed. But then he is also seeing his sister getting r**ed. That is sure some weird trauma. Robin is probably one of the worst characters I have ever seen. 5 years Kiruko looked for him, thinking he was family and what was he doing? Waiting to take advantage of Kiruko. Maru I feel will come to the rescue since we saw him continuously thinking of Kiruko being alone and not safe. Hope he beats the shit out of him.

✨《HENTAI GOD》✨

Bro rewatching it with you guys i just feel uneasy as fuck its really disgusting i hope what looks like is about to happen doesn't because i love this anime to much for this shit maru need to come run this niggas fade and kill him in the next min of the next fucking episode.

t_t

might be relevant later in the anime tbh seeing as how much this manga does setup ahead of time! but yea artist choices for showing the whole thing i guess! i know some authors wont show it

Theo Vorster

It went on for like about a third of a chapter (the assault itself), which compared to Berserk, where its infamous scene went on for nearly two chapters, makes Heavenly Delusion come off as relatively tame.

Spriggz

Before I even watch y'all's reaction, that ending was legit so gross I had to go to the manga to see what happens next. I only read a bit after, but I feel so let down and disgusted this happened and don't feel any better after reading a bit more.

Haaa?

Never read/seen berserk so for me it went on too long, r* scenes in media always feel like they go on for too long because of how uncomfortable they are. Plus I was talking about mentally not actual scene length.

Spriggz

I think he means the amount of time in story. From what I read, spoiler alert, it seemed like he/she was r**ed for days. Shits disgusting

Fernando Perez

It’s not even the fact that it’s post apocalyptic. R@pe unfortunately happens all the time and is most commonly done by people the victims knew and trusted. This is very real shit that happens and I have no idea why there are people saying that the show is fetishizing it. The show is obviously presenting it as fucked up. I feel like people are being too soft personally. It’s fine to be uncomfortable with it, I was absolutely disgusted, but I don’t see why it’s valid to criticize the show for having it. Honestly these are the same type of mfs that dropped Mushoku Tensei at episode 8.

Alellion

@Cameron Eldridge Haruki's mind is 18 (the age he writes on the paper in this ep.), and yes, Kiriko would be 20.

KeYo

dam i didnt know yaboyhyprocite was gonna show up on this episode. werent you laughing it up on the snowfall reaction when dude got raped? look at yall now all serious and disgusted lmao exposing yourselves

Alellion

@Tyrese Marshall Sorry to inform, but in reality most sexual assault is committed by someone the victim knows (including sig. others, ex's, and family).

Cameron Eldridge

I hate this SO much... also I feel like Robin is somehow involved with the entire plot somehow, I could def b wrong but his actions just don't add up so far (he was the one who gave her the air force jacket and he seems to be just barely old enough to remember the disaster so maybe his parents were military?)

adam

totally different scenario imo. in snowfall the guy had it coming to him. this is vile ntr betrayal.

KeYo

the fact that someone deserves rape and that it wasnt vile is a wild statement but you right it is different. they probably care more about this character then that random thief on snowfall so maybe thats it i dont know

RuTo-San

From reading the manga and watching what happens the facial expression just screams guilt. He had to of shot the sister in the head for the doctor to experiment and hopefully make a 100% brain transfer.

earthphoenix7068

Homie deserved it. Don't be stealing my crack money. No one deserves that from basically a family member.

RuTo-San

A lot of people dropped the manga after this scene it’s beyond messed up…… but the story keeps going and other crazy sht happens.

Theo Vorster

Oh I know how long Kiruko was held captive for (it was 2 nights/2.5 days), but the original comment I replied to was talking about the length of the manga not the in-universe timeline, so I think it's reasonable to assume it was in reference to pages/chapter length.

RuTo-San

By all means you got the right to drop this show but it kinda gets better after this story wise.

RuTo-San

Story got kinda better after that but this scene alone was beyond fked up little brother brain older sister body…. I couldn’t stomach it and was so mad reading that part of the manga so it makes sense people dropping it.

adam

didn't mean that he deserved to be raped, but he fucked around and found out

Ross

I have only watched 12 mins of episode 1. Most people that know of this particular event were spoiled on either Twitter, YouTube or here, and consequently stopped reading/watching before they got to this point. I knew about this scene before I got to it in the manga. Still doesn't change the fact that I think the story is just the author's fetish show-and-tell.

RuTo-San

I hope that’s the last R@pe scene in the manga or anything with Kiruko. Robin gotta go but I think Kiruko still see’s him as family. As of now the manga is on hiatus I think.

RuTo-San

That’s knowledge not to be known that’s beyond disgusting thought it was just for couple mins in the manga.

Riyaahhh

He's a fucking sick bastard and I hope Maru ends him slowly.

Fernando Perez

How do you know it’s the author’s “fetish show-and-tell” if you’ve only seen a few clips? You just assume what an entire show is about based off of less than 10% of screen time? Not to mention that it’s absolutely portrayed as fucked up. Not sure why you think it’s “fetishized”.

Fernando Perez

You saw a 4 minute clip of a 13 episode anime and decided the entire show had to be like that?

Merfhew

I picked up on a lot of symbolism and small details during my second time watching. Tomatoes are spherical shaped, just like the Earth. Perhaps the tomato we kept seeing is meant to serve as a metaphor for the "world" and how the characters view it / experience it? There's no question that the tomato is meant to symbolize something, but my specific interpretation could be wrong. Tomato Sightings: @14:32 @16:11 @19:27 @19:47 ~ The tomato looks fine during the first and second scenes. ~ The tomato cuts open ever so slightly during the third scene (when Mimihime and Co. reach the wall + when Kiruko reaches the bathroom door). The characters are approaching a huge potential change in their lives, but there's still time to back out if they don't walk through the wall / bathroom door. ~ The tomato is sliced about 3/4 of the way during the final tomato scene (when Mimihime and Co. exit the facility via the hole + when Kiruko enters through the bathroom door). The characters have gone through physical entrances bringing them to a new future. Their lives are about to change drastically, and there's no going back now. Mimihime and Co. finally experienced "outside of the outside" for the first time. During the first episode, Tokio was told by The Director that the outside world is basically hell, but for Mimihime and Co., what they're seeing feels more like heaven. Their first view of the world outside of Takahara does, admittedly, include a caged fence, but we focused on the trees, the cicada(?), and the sky. Mimihime, in particular, is fascinated by the sky "ceiling" as she calls it. Now, if you think back to Episode 8, seeing the sky one last time was her final request before death. It's very common for the sky to symbolize freedom, so while Mimihime and Co. are still within a cage (albeit a broken cage), they've never been more free. On the flip side, also in this episode was Haruki / Kiruko finally catching up with Robin, the person he's idolized for most of his life. Maru and Haruki have been searching for "heaven" all this time, but the series makes it clear that finding Robin is the most important thing in the world for Haruki. Their reunion takes place in a Takahara facility, which is supposedly heaven (Haruki even refers to it as heaven @20:19), but after Robin shows his true colors, Haruki finds himself in hell. Whether it's The Director trying to gain immortality by Orochimaru-ing her old lady brain into a younger body, or Robin literally committing an unforgivable act of evil, it's become clear that Takahara, no matter the time period, is an actual hell run by actual devils. Haruki was chained to the bed, which is literally the opposite of freedom in the world of symbology. Not only that, but Robin kept telling him to watch the mirror as his sister's body was defiled. Being grounded by handcuffs and forced to watch something when he wants to keep his eyes shut, Haruki has never been less free. Ironically, though he wants to close his eyes or avert his gaze now (and who can blame him), Haruki already did so earlier in the episode. During the shower scene @20:34, he literally closed his eyes during a monologue where he was shown slowly letting down his guard. "I was afraid. I was so scared. But it's fine now. *closes eyes* Now... I'll have Robin." After years of living alone in a harsh world, Haruki was allowing himself to be vulnerable. He completely lowered his guard just as Maru noticed that Haruki didn't have his gun. This episode has been tough on Haruki in multiple ways. In addition to the hell he experienced, there seems to be something going on with his gender identity. He literally filled out the visitor application twice. @9:11 - The first application says "Haruki Takehaya" and doesn't have a gender filled out. We later find out @24:13 that he crumbled up that application off screen before Robin got the phone call. @10:28 - The second application says "Kiruko" and has female circled for gender. This is the one he submitted to to the government worker before they called Robin. Most of the application is covered by Robin's face, which kinda symbolizes the fact that Robin is all he's thinking about. For some reason, Haruki felt that he had to be Kiruko to meet up with Robin. Anyways, yeah, this post is way longer than I expected it to be. If anyone reads the whole thing, I appreciate your time.

Theo Vorster

Yeah part of what makes Heavenly Delusion's depiction of sexual assault so upsetting is how close to reality it is of cases of real-life sexual assault (IIRC most statistics estimate that over 80% of sexual assaults are committed by people the victims knew and were close too).

Cameron Eldridge

Yeah I was pretty sure about the tomato being symbolism rather than an actual plot point to pay attention 2 but I wasn't sure, this cleared that up in my head

Merfhew

Oh, one more thing. We were shown a montage of hands at the very end. First was Haruki / Kiruko, then Maru, then Mimihime. I didn't talk much about Maru, but if... Haruki is experiencing hell on Earth (symbolized by his hands being bound by handcuffs in the final shot)... and Mimihime is experiencing heaven on Earth (symbolized by her reaching for the sky in the final shot)... Where does that leave Maru? Is he experiencing plain old Earth on Earth (which could be argued is a mixture of both Hell + Heaven)? Or maybe he's in limbo? Or purgatory? The show was trying to say something with that montage, but I'm not quite sure what.

Konasuba

Well more like that they don’t wanna invest in a show where that’s ultimately the outcome (so far) They are’t comfortable with the subject.

Theo Vorster

The manga is only on a 1-month break (for June) so the mangaka can prepare the collection and publication of the 9th tankōbon volume of the manga. The next chapter 56 will be published at the end of July around the 24-25th (the series is published monthly FYI). And I personally have no doubt Robin will get his comeuppance eventually, but the manga still has plenty of story left (it just passed the half-way point last year).

Theo Vorster

The jacket is just a fashionable jacket as far as we know. As for his age, Robin in 2039 is 27-28 years old. So he would have been 13 when the calamity happened.

Theo Vorster

Very good analysis of the visual symbolism and editing in this episode. In addition to freedom/bondage, I think the tomatoes are also meant to symbolize like innocence/defilement, with how it splits open when the students leave the academy for the first time. Similarly when the students are walking through the interior of the walls we see red light flashing on-and-off, this directly paralleled with the sense of dread right after Kiruko comes out of the shower and walks down the hall. The audience is symbolically being given red warning signs flashing of something bad about to happen.

Fernando Perez

@Konasuba That’s fair I suppose. I personally wouldn’t drop a series because of one or two scenes, but I won’t fault anyone for doing so. I guess my point is why someone would criticize or say the series is somehow worse objectively for containing a scene like this.

Panda

@Theo Vorster Having to use Berzerk to normalize this show goes to show you how fucked that scene was regardless. Also i'd argue this shit hits harder than berserk, just due to the nature of berzerk mentally preping you a bit. When shows like this take stuff this far it makes it worse for me cuz it catches me off guard. Like damn, they actually went there. Vs expecting them to go there and then some.

RugRatRAN

yea...... very weird episode hope robin gets packed this almost made me puke

Jayden Holder

Didn't even wanna watch the reaction today bc of the epi

Theo Vorster

Oh I wasn't trying to "normalize" it, I fully agree that in terms of how horrific it is, combined with it largely being a plot twist, that what happens in Heavenly Delusion is comparably just as emotionally distressing as Berserk. I meant *how* the sexual assaults are depicted (i.e. how they are constructed as scenes in the medium of comics) makes Heavenly Delusion seem "tame" in comparison to Berserk.

2023-12-23 00:09:25 you've seen half of it, after the next episode you'll have the full picture. And then after that, should you choose to read the manga, youll see how/when and if it even has any implications later on. But a lot of it is how horrific it is on its own, and then you take into account the ENTIRE scenario and how psychological abusive the mangaka makes it. Things like pushing kirukos head to the mirror and saying "watch what im about to do to your sister". He took all liberty to try to make it hurt as much as possible to the reader (which is probably the intent). It was extremely uncomfortable, especially in the manga. In my personal opinion as a manga reader, i dont think it was necessary especially to that degree but that is just my opinion.

what i know so far: 1. what happens at school is in the past. 2. children are immune to all diseases except for the disease that turns them into hiruko, so the school are making like superhumans. 3. mimihime and ushio(the girl with weird ears and the boy who is in love with her) are the boy who killed himself and the girl without limbs. 4. the other baby is a clone. 5. shino(the old lady) is looking for inmortality trying to switch her brain with those kids. 6. i think the doctor is the scientist who is taking care of tokio's babies because they have the same scar in the same place. 7. kona (the boy who have sex with tokyo) is the one that kills haruki(fmc) they look the same when mimihime has a vision of him becoming a hiruko. 8. the little girl with glasses who has the power to make illusions is the hiruko that looks like a cocoon in the parking area where haruki has an illusion being eaten i mean they have the same power.

I watched their reaction to see what was so controversial about this

Sun

ZOROO NOO WHY YOU DO THIS

Thulani Mason

I have a question. Maybe someone has already brought this up in the comments or in the reaction. I haven't watched it yet. I don't mind being spoiled at this point. I had a theory that the reason Robin did what he did was because he wanted to get with his sister but she wasn't having it. Then when Robin finds out that the brother, someone who idolized him, is in the body of his sister, someone he wanted to get with, Robin decided to take advantage and SA them. Am I in the ball park?

Aniki Pft

I can't really confirm anything but I thought something like that too. Either that or he wanted both of them.

Theo Vorster

Kona’s Man-Eater design, while having some similarities to the one that half-ate Haruki, is distinctively different from it and is not the same.

Patrone07

I gues robin took the title of the show to heart and ran with it also you gotta be pretty dumb to notice your dry clothes are gone and be told there getting warmed up just come down this dark ass hallway butt naked in the secluded room don’t mind my one hand being held behind my back you normally beat up thugs but just be a damsel in distress rite now

NeoSpotLite

Now ya know why more than half of the manga readers dislike this show. Her reaction to it afterwards was also stupid. It's like the author gave up.

Ayoken007

He never trusted the thugs. He trusted Robin. Clearly to his detriment, but he said Robin was family to him. And you don't ever think family would do that to you.

Niuwah

I am traumatized!! What the actual F! Robin knew him since he was a kid. If he is actually aware of what the doctor did, that's absolutely disgusting, you raped someone you knew as a young boy. I am so confused 😕 Even if he liked the sister, after meeting someone after years and hearing what happened to them, why would your first thought be to rape them?

Patrone07

Family would not grab your clothes while your taking a bath and tell you you to come down this way butt ass naked if they did I’ll be looking at them sus af the term family does not wipe away all common sense that’s why family members usually get molested and raped while there young ex.. baby’s or children 12 and under by family members while older kids still get raped but not a this degree of stupidity and blind trust

Thulani Mason

Hmmm interesting. Definitely wouldn't put it past Robin at this point. Might have been trying to groom them both.

mal

you’re a waste of life what type of fucked up shit is that to say

mal

pretty sure they laughed out of shock n just not expecting it to happen. also this was way more in detail than the snowfall scene.

Devin B

🤮🤮🤮

AdventHorizons

Blinded by desire and bliss of meeting him again she let her guard down.. this guy needs to go absolute filth

Theo Vorster

No they think you’re a manga reader because you’re right on everything except Kona.

Losalma

Ok I know that people are talking about the final part of the episode, but why no one is talking about how they skip two mini arcs where they present you various important concepts?

Dominic Davis

yall gotta watch magical detroyers!

Theo Vorster

What? No they haven’t? The only major stuff cut was Kiruko getting their period after the Immortal Order arc and then some of Aoshima’s snooping scenes around Takahara Academy. No whole arcs have been skipped.

Novafan

We never really knew who robin was as a person since we saw him from harukis perspective when he just beat up some guys to help him. It's kinda implied that he had sexual relations with kiruko too.

Theo Vorster

Sexual relations with Kiriko not Kiruko. And yeah the flashes of memory from episode 3 hinted at that (meaning Robin was already a statutory rapist from the start).

Losalma

The chick whit the helmet and the people in the shrine are before this, or maybe I´m messing the order in my head?

Theo Vorster

Nope those are well after these chapters. The Helm chapters start with chapter 38 and the fucked up shrine family starts in chapter 43.

Losalma

Thank´s bro I thought that they skip those arcs and I was scared, in the shrine you get an important explanation and I liked the girl as a one off character

DocGreen

The person calling themselves hentai god is disgusted by a rape scene in an anime

DocGreen

Better not see you in the comment section for next episode than

DocGreen

It's suppose to be uncomfortable. It be more fucked up if people were saying I was happy or unsatisfied with that rape scene.

JOSH NEUMAN

Reacher its on prime video its got 4.8/5 on prime and around 9.1/10 on imdb pleaseeee

Ketent

i agree with most of what your saying pat but its not insane that after a long journey someone offers a shower and a fresh pair of clothes, the love and family part blinded haruki for sure. plus he was a boy for his young life he probably never even thought about it SA especially someone so close to him.

A. P.

"Gonna go jerk these tears" is crazy lol This episode was definitely heavy. I personally understand being angry at the character (Robin), or at the lack of content warning at the top of the episode, but I can't say I understand being upset with the writers/studio for the scene itself. From a cinematography aspect I think it was done as tastefully as such a scene can be done, and I'm ready to see the next episode. The writing has been good so far so I trust that this will not have been for nothing later in the show and will have consequences especially on both of our main characters' development.

Ashe

Crazy how your paying him to talk shit lmaooo this guy is wild

godUsoland

So based off a few scenes in Kiruko's flashback as well as this ep, it suggests Robin might have had a sexual relationship with Kiruko's sister. And then when he saw Kiriko, he was glad "he picked up both of them" because he could continue to use her body.

Skye Horton

I just wanted to say that this instance and the one in snowfall are prone to have different reactions. Snowfall is a show about the cocaine epidemic in the 80’s, no one expects their to be rape in a show like that so seeing that was a shock to many viewers, they weren’t laughing bc it was funny, they were just shocked, people laugh at fucked up things and if anything laughing is a trauma response and if I’m reading them right the they were just shocked and not prepared for something like that out of the blue, now in Heavenly delusion, Robin was already sketchy from the start and they all caught that, they already knew there was something about him that wasn’t right so they were already prepared for something bad to happen and when the rape came they were just reacting out of disappointment and disgust knowing that they were right, another thing is Robin is someone that is mentioned many times, he is shown as a close person to kiruko so he trusted Robin but Lenny and Karvel don’t know each other, aren’t even mentioned again in the show, doesn’t make rape right but when you grown attached and interested to a character like Robin who is constantly brought up and shown, you have certain expectations for them and in this case those expectations were thrown out the window. Main point is roshi, lupa and sheera aren’t laughing at rape or torture bc it’s funny, just bc it’s messed up and laughing is just smt ppl do when their nervous, doesn’t make them hypocrites or bad people.

The GoDKing 27

RISHI SAID Y? Well bc he wanted some fresh cooch?

GigaDirt

My opinion(you don't have to read or care about it, I just felt like it should be known due to controversy around this, ignore me if you don't like opinions or just don't care lol) --------------- I don't like it, and I wish they didn't do it, but so far I'vdoesn't, just about every episode and have had fee problems, I like this show I just wish they decided to drop that particular scene, or at the very least use that as a plot device or character driver, from what I've read it doesnt. I don't know, but for me one bad (horrible) scene won't fuck up an entire show for me so I still like it and will watch, this was an 8.5/10 for me but that last scene dropped it to 7.75/10

Alex cleveland

Ole dude Robin looks like a malnourished pedo/rapist from the start.... Never really liked his look or character and now I def dont like this ugly freak nigga... Maru gotta body his ass ASAPPP

Aziouss

What kind of messed up shit happened to create a mind like robin's? I mean WHY?

ok

Not sure if y’all talked about it but will you do a reaction to the new black clover movie? I know you haven’t done a channel reaction to the series but you’ve seen the show, no? If so, I’d love a movie reaction + it’s pretty gas

Luke Gao

tbf this a good theory but I was just thinking that the tomato (as crazy as it sounds) repersents the hole below and the juice coming out is meant to be like popping her cherry implying this the first time (idk if im going crazy or I jus watched to much anime). This show has huge amounts of symbolism so it would make sense.

woah I never saw the big R coming

Paden Snell

Man. If you're gonna put a graphic rape scene like this in. It better be justified by the story. And I feel like it just isn't here. What does this add for any of the character arcs or storyline? Feels like they just threw this in for shock value. As a manga reader I don't feel like this is justified well afterwards either, and the whole manga really starts to fall off for me from here.

KeYo

alot of you are making sense but let me just put my last little input on it 1.like i said before they didnt know lenny the thief and care about him at all so obviously they dont care what happens to him but after they saw lenny get raped roshi continued to make jokes about him getting raped so idk about him being shocked in my opinion. i think he just found it funny. 2.in this anime obviously they are heavily connected to the main characters so if something happens to them. death or rape as we saw they gonna feel disgusted or sad about it. which i understand ill give them that but ive been watching them for years so they have shown biased towards females and children before so i base my comment on that because ive experienced them so maybe i should have just thought about it first ill admit that. still a bit of hypocrisy in there. 3. lastly for the person who said im paying them to talk shit. im not talking shit. i was calling them out on something that anybody would call them out if they felt some way about it. you do realize they pay for stuff too and constantly call out stuff from things they pay. this is the real world remember that. you are allowed to critique things you pay for. we do it with movies all the time. hopefully this clears things up and doesnt put yall to sleep sorry for the long ass reply lmao

Roshi said it wouldn't make sense for them. He's watched the anime and read up to the Spade Kingdom Arc, but Sheera only watched a portion of the series and Lupa hasn't seen any of it.

Just a theory, but remember when yall said that the lady from Kitamis place looked like the old lady from Heaven? She had the same face, which was weird because she had black hair. I'm assuming its because that brain transplant happened with the person she chose and that was in fact the old lady at Kitamis.

KeYo

lol i am way too deep into it tbh. just wanted to give one last comment. i was excited when i heard zoros voice and boom that happened. like noooooo not zoro -tears-

Alaysia Moore

Caught up to the manga and after seeing it animated, I have to say that while what has happened to Kiruko is horrible, I'm not personally seeing it as glossed over. I personally think that this tracks to be a realistic reaction considering Haruki/Kiruko's overall character and feelings towards Robin prior to this. Some are saying it was glossed over, but I think it's playing out in a way it does for most victim's where there isn't an instant gratification but I don't think that means it's being tossed aside. Of course we'll have to see how it all pans out since the story isn't over, and I don't want to potentially spoil (anymore than already possibly done). In no ways will this be a "perfect" telling for everyone, but this is a part of Haruki/Kiruko's story, so it will go in the way that the character experiences it rather than just what viewers/readers want.

Wow Aaron I’m going to cry don’t hurt me like that

iMissDinklebot

meh. i dont really give a shit about the feelings of drawings. you do you tho lil bro

Theo Vorster

Only in the sense it had more had more direct on-page nudity and less extreme close-up shots/panels. For some people the addition of color, movement, voices, and soundtrack as part of the change in medium makes a major difference in heightening the experience and/or making it feel more visceral. So it’s understandable how some people may end up feeling more distressed by the anime’s depiction of it, even if the manga had more explicit nudity depicted and less obscured angles and extreme close-ups.

Theo Vorster

While the tomato splitting is definitely meant to represent defilement, the loss of innocence (for the Takahara Academy students and Kiruko) and such, I don’t think it’s meant to be specifically or primarily symbolic about the body parts involved in sexual assault. It’s more concerned with themes than anything else.

NJ

Another masterfully crafted episode. Animation, music, and overall direction. The shot of Kiruko walking down that hall where the pitch black at the end of the hall feels ominous and makes it eerie since it feels like it's getting closer. The parallel of the alarms going off in the facility with the kids, but in Kiruko's scene OUR alarms are going off instead. The focus on darkness and their shadows. And when his shadow revealed the handcuffs, we get a closeup where the cuff completely frames Kiruko's shadow, indicating how he is utterly trapped. And I think a bonus that the shadow is framed, not the physical body. Maybe pointing more towards the boy trapped in that body as well. Not to mention Kensuke Ushio's work with the music. That heavy bass that sounded dissonant when it slid down to its next note and felt like something was terribly wrong. My stomach started turning the moment I saw that empty hallway. It's like a horror movie sequence. Except this actually genuinely horrified me. Even before it actually happened. Props to the production team. They say the manga is more graphic but this... the way they built that up was on a different level.

2023-06-21 04:42:41 Also The Eclipse itself is presented more as part of grand horrifying spectacle, sometimes a thing being so over-the-top can allow people to experience a little more emotional distance (so-to-say) from it compared to Heavenly Delusion’s sexual assault which is far more intimate in how distressing on a conceptual and mental level it is. So it isn’t unbelievable that some might be personally more disturbed by what happened in Heavenly Delusion than Berserk, despite the latter being more gratuitous and over-the-top and literally higher body-count.

Lucky Licks

Bro the episode ended in the r* scene and you act like all is done, the show still goes on what are you on about? They didn’t just “throw” it in there like damn use your brains

Lucky Licks

You saying it serves no purpose is just about the dumbest assumption. It’s à apocalyptic world and that brings out the worst in people, murder, theft, r*. Like did you even bother to think how a situation like that would affect the character? Obviously it’s going to be a big turning point for the character so it’s definitely wasn’t done without “purpose”. That’s like watching another show with a characters friend gets murdered and calling that scene unpurposeful “ohhh I’m gonna drop the show that murder served no purpose” like bro df it’s a story?

Oscar Barcelo

Though mushoko tensei is different because there is no rape scene to my knowledge, though the main character does do Pervy things since he’s a 30+ years old man in a child’s body, the thing about the series is it shows you how wrong he is and he actually acknowledges his mistakes and grows From it.

Gran_Air

It isn’t about the feelings of drawings and if you don’t understand that yet it just shows that you still need to mature a lot

Nononanon

Well thank god, we dont need people who get pissy for traumatic things in media because of their little sensitive feelings.

2023-06-21 19:33:07 This scene is really disgusting but they way they did it is really well done. Because we are feeling to perspective of the main character in that they were actually being groomed by this fucking weirdo the entire time. We think this guy is a great guy and we really want to see her meet him and in turn we also trust him, only to come to find out the guy was just using the orphanage to groom people the entire time. Hopefully he dies soon. I think the most sickening part of this is that she still trusts him and looks up to him, to me anyways.

Unfortunately it does serve purpose here, you think he is a good guy the entire time and turns out he was just grooming them the entire time. My reasons for dropping the series probably wont be because of this scene but i read the manga ahead and it gets pretty lame from this point onwards. Once you figure out what happened back at the academy, the mystery is gone and the story feels linear.

bruh he knocked out two people twice his size in a fist fight where they had weapons. You think some small woman can defend herself against that ?????????

I feel like the way the flashbacks were shown pointed me in that direction. It kinda looked like it was robins own flashback. Also the fact that Kiruko didn't bring the beam gun with the logo on it and Maru not going plot wise is because Robin would've seen the Tokio resemblance or noticed the logo and wouldve flipped out sooner. That and the fact that he asked about Mimihime before Shiro. Could be me reading too much into it.

dude yall say this every time. rape is a real world concept, and this show follows a lot of dark themes. to the story, it shows Kirko an MC, that the man they idolized and chased for years was a liar and had been using them. hes also a poweful figure at this point, so its going to be an uphill battle to fight him. not to mention this isnt even the first rape has been in the series, just the first time its shown. women were literally enslaving and raping men to breed with them a few episodes ago.

Gabriel Souza

You have no intelligence at all, do you? Yeah, stop watching anime, movies or series that deals with real life problems, stick with Disney films, it will be better for you.

Berserk scene was way worse, actually nothing ever gonna be worst then that, and berserk keeps getting sick

Gabriel Souza

Second time an anime made me fell so uncomfortable. First was in Berserk and i got traumatized after that, second was in here, but this still was not worst then Griffith in my opinion. I knew Robin wasn't good news the moment he showed up.
