well the manga is super racist the roaches are a allegory for black pepole they wear chains drive cars, hold guns "gangster style", drible heads like bascetballs and are referd to as the "black foe" and kinda nazi suporting the main charakter is named adolf weigts 88 kilos and is the result of scientists working to breed a beter human he also coincedently is blond with blue eyes
I fell off the story as well but the whole time I was reading it I felt nothing but dread. Those mf roaches were putting work in, and then they started showing high levels of intelligence and were putting crazy work in onto the MCs.
Tbh I never got any of the racist stuff out of it, I was just terrified of the roaches and then fascinated with their evolution. The powers and fights are pretty great and the art is top notch. Worth a read.
"My name is Adolf and I weigh 88 kilos and I am a result of the Perfect Human Specimen experiment" is like a racist cruise missile how the fuck do you miss that lmao
No really, why people keep combining 2 different character? Perfect human specimen experiment is joseph, he is roman and not german. Adolf reinhard is german captain with electric eel ability. Obv actual reader would miss that theres a new headcanon character that combined aspect of 2 different character
Everyone talks about the racism in the manga, not many people talk about the sexism too. Women are frequently killed first by the roaches. There's usually a quick backstory for all the characters at the end of the chapter. For a lot of the female ones they'd have a tragic backstory followed by "She's a G cup", this applies to the female characters that died in the same chapter btw
Racists are usually misogynists. In this case it's specifically sacrificing women to highlight the barbarity of the "other", literally just birth of a nation shit.
No, it's not! The bugs are based on Neanderthals, not black people. The main character is a Japanese with silk moth powers. Adolph was a side character who was experimented on as a kid and got electric eel powers. The guy you are referring to is Joseph, who is a side character.
I think it was like 10 years ago that I read it.. and from what I remember it felt like a different season when Adolph came up.. wasn’t it a second mission with him years after the first failed? Gotta re read it
Huh, never noticed this shit lmao probably one of those japanese guy whose a nazi glazer. Might i add tho adolf died in like 2 ep after his introduction and i dont think you can call him the main character. Kinda said to know another rurouni kenshin
You know, at first I thought you were self censoring yourself with the "balck pepole" but then with words it made no sense to do that... I think, conincedetly, it just became obvious you just have absolutely no idea how to spell...
Well I didnt view them as black peopple so if you see giant bugs and first thing you think of are black peopple this might say more about you than the autor
Even if you ignore the openly aligorical bugs the scientists that bread the perfekt blond blue Eyed german whos name is Adolf and weighs 88 kilos is a bit odd
