Johan Destroys Because Nothing Matters. Makishima Destroys Because Something Does.

Monster's Johan Liebert and Psycho-Pass's Makishima Shogo are anime's two greatest villains — but they're opposites. One destroys because nothing matters. The other because something does. Here's why. Both are intelligent. Both are resourceful. Both leave destruction everywhere they go. But Johan is a void — a nihilist made by trauma, destroying to prove there was never any meaning to begin with. Makishima is a conviction — an existentialist with a Machiavellian method, destroying to prove that genuine human choice still exists. This video is about what separates them. Nihilism versus existentialism. The monster who knows he's a monster versus the idealist who never questions whether his methods already made him one. And the question neither Monster nor Psycho-Pass fully resolves — is conviction more dangerous than emptiness? — 0:00 — Introduction 0:48 — The Void and the Argument (Johan) 2:51 — The Philosopher Terrorist (Makishima) 4:48 — The Machiavellian Common Ground 6:54 — Which Is More Dangerous 8:33 — Closing — Seinen Nomad — slow, cinematic manga and anime analysis of Monster, Psycho-Pass, Vagabond, Vinland Saga and more.
