Huge shout out to the surgeons who let the guy live long enough to face the consequences of his actions
The surgeons actually used him as an artificial skin graft guinea pig in order to later use that experience to heal his victims. He's currently the person with the most artificial skin grafts in the world.
An article had a quote from the surgeon. The only good thing to come out of the whole thing is that the doctor gained knowledge for skin grafts which have been used in other operations since then. The doctor's quote: "I believe you could say that saving [Aoba’s] life was meaningful, as it allowed for him to stand trial. I’m sorry, though, but I have absolutely no sympathy for him, and want him to feel the weight of the crime he committed."
Surgeon: Oh, no ... I say when we're done
More quotes from the surgeon: "Taking someone's life is not acceptable for any reason, I want him to explain everything at the court, and express sincere regret and apologise."
Well, I'm sure he's not sorry for what he did. @@Kage-jk4pj
To think a man was willing to burn down an entire building because of possible plagiarism.
Right. and in the end it turned out there were zero similarities.
"plagiarism" about highschool students buying discounted meat scene like dawg are you for real😭
With how things are going over there doesn't surprise me.
Plagiarism is a word that gets thrown around these days by people who don't understand what it means, and people would go out of their way to call something plagiarism for looking alike without any legal ground.
Plagiarism itself is a dumb af concept, be real, nothing is 100% original, everyone gets ideas from others.
I had a teacher in high school who was also a defense attorney and I asked him a question about defending someone who is definitely guilty. He told me that the purpose of a defense attorney at that point (if I remember correctly) is to ensure that the defendant is tried fairly in court.
Exactly. I wish people wouldn't attack defense attorneys.
Nah that's just half the truth. Yes that is their job in theory (mitigate cases where someone who have no idea about law get dunked on in court) but they care more about lessening people's sentence and possibily to get client off the hook not the notion of fairness. They are paid by their client, being unfair in favor of their client is their objective.
@@toxicdermyillunary4103 it does also depend on whether a defense attorney is public defender or private one.
The motto all defense lawyers must follow is the one espoused by St. Thomas More, lawyer and former Chancellor to Henry VIII, who had him beheaded with false charges.
His hothead son-in law confronted him:
William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
@@toxicdermyillunary4103 Being in favor of the client is their whole job. Just like the prosecution is going to be seeking the highest possible sentence for the crime that the client is being accused of.
R.i.P to a lot of the Lucky Star staff, from what I remember a lot of the staff that were killed in the attack worked on that project. That was my childhood.

may they rest

If I recall correctly, this studio was also renown for hiring more women than men, and a lot of mothers too. I thought that was really nice.
Is that why the voice actors all changed halfway through the show? I remember I couldn't keep watching it after that.
Lucky star is older than this tragedy, and KyoAni is an animation studio, though maybe some voice actor would have been present.@ciswhitemalewithextraprivi7898
Mental illness is what the lawyers tried to plead, saving his life, not arguing he is innocent
I don't think Japan has the resource to support life sentence now that there are many old people they need to support
really only 2 questions need to be answered for the mental illness defence (insanity defence almost never works)
Did he have the mental ability understand right from wrong? (say a 4 yo plays with matches burns down a house probably wont really understand what happened)
Does he have the mental ability/capacity to take part in his own trial?
@@LigerSuperstarand funny enough, nowadays older Japanese people want to be imprisoned since they're financially struggle and get better treatment in prison.
@@bimapriambada1098I think most of these old people are homeless and are habitual criminals who have been in and out of prison since they were young. It is said that especially during the colder months, the number of elderly people who commit petty crimes in an attempt to enter prison increases. At least once they are in prison, they can not only protect themselves from the cold but also enjoy chicken and cake at Christmas and lavish osechi dishes at New Year's.
@@LigerSuperstar: FYI, it generally takes decades from first sentencing to actual execution... so, that makes your point moot.
And by the way that is for good reason... because there are all too often actually innocent people on Death Row (not just in Japan). Prosecutors in Japan are really viscious, when they believe (for whatever reason) that you are guilty. They will withold exculpatory evidence, hinder the defense and even fabricate evidence to get you convicted (keeping that 99% rate alive and well). And even if they are found out (like in the Hamada case), they will fight tooth and nail to keep a person they KNOW to be innocent on Death Row.
What was insane is the killer claimed that the studio plagiarized his contest entry, but the scene is so generic, it could be literally anything, especially since Kyoani made so many slice of life anime. It was some characters going to the store to buy meat.
Yeah, it's like pokemon fans seething about palword and its alleged plagiarism
@@MostSaneGiggukFanconsidering that Pokemon plagiarized Dragon Quest it's even worse maybe
@@danieleproiaNot really. A lot of Dragon Quest's monsters are already staples in other fantasy stories and games.
@@MostSaneGiggukFan but it is plagiarism if they're straight up ripping 3d assets from pokemon lmao. honestly, i wouldnt have a problem with it if this lazy asset flip was free but they are monetizing it. like there are better "pokemon ripoffs" but ppl choose to play this shitty one like lmfao ok.
@@trying247Literally better than most Pokemon games, idk what you're on about😂
To answer Joey's question, the truth is, and I would not surprised if it is like this in most courts worldwide, every person has a right to a trial, regardless of whether they are guilty or not. A defense attorney is not necessarily employed to get the defendant off. Sometimes they are there to get a lesser sentence. This guy didn't deserve a lesser sentence, but it is his right to be tried.
I agree
Yeah the point is that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, so you have to give them a defense. And in some cases, people’s mental capacity or state does effect the severity with which they should be punished… like for instance in the United States, some guy who was a house painter tried to assinate Pres Jackson… turned out the chemicals in the paint drove him mad and he thought he was Richard the 3rd and Jackson owed him money. Needless to say they didn’t give him the death penalty because he was clearly not right in the head.
Best I've heard is how defense attorney is similiar to doctor, much so in this case also. Doctors treated this guy for a year knowing full well he took lives of 36 people. Doctors should do their job regardless of the person in question, defense attorney is very much the same.
Thats correct. He has the right to be tried as a citizen of Japan. The lawyer may not want to, but was there job to try and defend him.
@@Redshirt214 innocent until proven guilty isn't a given, the counties who do it that way are the minority.
From what I remember, he had entered his story into a competition to be published/adapted to an anime, like Evergarden. It didn't obviously win but he became obsessed that some parts were copied by them. It wasn't true and the story he thought was copied was written before his one was.
The head of Kyoani and a couple other actually went back after the attack to review all of the submissions manually and confirm whether there was any actual plagiarism that occurred. To still go to that much trouble over a spurious claims shows what standup people the owners of Kyoani and their staff are.
he is crazy delusional... maybe he really did have mental illness after all...

"No credits yet"Are those people still alive or that means something else?
I think the “no credits” means they hadn’t worked on a complete anime season. They had just started but were unable to work on a complete season of the various shows, just like an episode or two.
@@petconerd1984Hence the words “new hire.”
Probably breathed in to much of the smoke
@petconerd1984 "no credits YET"
The word "yet" in this context implies there could/will be credits in the future. They're no longer alive, so saying "yet" makes no sense.
Hi Joey, legal defense isn't about "winning or losing" it's about ensuring their client is trialed fairly within the courts and to ensure that legal proceedings are done so in accordance to legal governce and not out of spite and revenge which dismantles the concept of democracy.
If the courts were permitted to pursue revenge then the idea of precedence would be dismissed and place too much power to individual judges.
Well, that's how it should be, but it doesn't always work that way in real life, especially in Japan.
Nor in America.
Yeah. You may be outright guilty of murder but the law will still allow you to appeal and avail all other remedies available to every accused. Although sometimes there are lawyers too good at their jobs and get their clients off the hook on some obscure technicality.
What does the justice system have to do with democracy?
literally everything.
the justice system is built on democracy and sets precedence for the future.
have you heard of juries? @@BlackEpyon
Until this day Kyoani is still trying their best to recover...
Well this was only 5 years ago. It's gonna be a while
That haircut though.
Makes me feel like jojo 😳
it’s.. umm..
Joey was so excited for Tekken 8 he got the Harada cut to go along with it😅
🤭
I miss the old hair and dye but it’s looks good tho
Barber: What you want?
Joey: you know Tekken 8 just came out
Barber: Say no more
Barber: Anything else?
Joey: Don't ask me for shit
XD
@@RayAshG Barber: Don't worry I won't sugarcoat it
Ngl he does look like Harada-san 🤣
He had submitted his manuscript for the annual Kyoto Animation Award contest (it was not forwarded for consideration) and believed that a minor scene in one of KyoAni's productions had come straight from his work. However, the scene in question was a trope that had existed for years.
Fun fact, only one submission has ever been deemed worthy of the KyoAni Grand Prize - Violet Evergarden.
The amount of bangers that came from this studio cant be overstated. K-on, Haruhi Suzumiya, Clannad, Kobayashi Dragon Maid, Love Chuunibiiyo and other delusions. Fucking Lucky star (the OG modern "Cute girls do cute things' anime) They'd just wrapped on Violet Evergarden before the arson attack. I'm not even listing 1/4 of them. This was a cultural tragedy. They were like the Van Gough of anime, just cranking out classic after classic.
Now those talented people are dead.
well Van Gogh was not popular while he was alive so... lol
The latter seasons of Full Metal Panic as one of their first works too. And you also can’t forget Sound Euphonium.
Damn that's really sad 😢
Nichijou too ;(
K-on was my first anime, and it got me into guitar. KyoAni made part of who I am, and I pray for the souls who died there.
The lawyers have to defend their client no matter what, regardless of whether or not they believe that their client is innocent. Failure to do so might get them fired or even disbarred.
Man that fucking sucks, when good hearted lawyer's have to forcefully protect deranged fucks
I remember this day so well. I just had a newborn and was cleaning guest rooms in Fushimi with the baby on my back. It was a sunny day so I opened the windows to air the place out and then suddenly it stunk like smoke so badly. 😢 A few minutes later all I could hear were sirens left and right. I turned on the car radio on my way back and heard what was happening. That was such a shock.
reminder that human rights are non negotiable, you either give them to everyone or you don't have them
Joey don't attack the lawyers who defended the arsonist. They were paid to defend the arsonist probably because he requested for an attorney. It is possible that they dont want to but had to defend Shinji Aoba. So the reason why the attorney used a "mental disorder" claims to defend the criminal is because it is one of the most common and easier claims to try and contest the trial. For all we know, that was probably the only thing they could do to try and "help" this criminal, even if they don't want to help the guy. It is their job to literally defend their client, they are lawyers at the end of the day. And the guy gets the deserved punishment. No reason to further destroy the careers of the attorneys who tried to "defend" the criminal.
Joey himself is making money off of this vid and promoting his clothing brand so he is a hypocrite
he is not attacking them wtf
Ya I always feel bad for lawyers who have to defend a criminal, especially someone who might be similar to the zodiac killer or Jeffery Dahmer
@@bardhi09he isn't being a hypocrite almost all true crime youtubers make money on these videos, rotten mango is one of them
@@hexxtheswagger5893 3:42 - As much as I agree to what Joey is saying here, it is still understandable that we should not press onto these lawyers who tried to defend the criminal. As I said, we don't know if they WANT to or they HAD to defend the criminal. I do not know if they are even allowed to reject an assigned attorney position for whatever case trial as serious as this one goes.
Don't get me wrong, I too questioned these excuses because an arson attack is usually done by an evil, sane perpetrator, RARELY by an actual mentally disordered patient. I just don't see why we should press on this matter with the lawyers. They're just doing their job.
For the "how to the defense lawyers do it" it's the idea that everyone deserves a good defense even if they're obviously guilty or "evil" or anything. There are always times where someone is "obviously" guilty but it turns out they actually weren't or there were other significant factors, and letting them have a defense is better than a sham court where they just get executed. Also, at least in the US, there's (theoretically, sadly not often in reality) the idea that it's better for many guilty people to go free than to infringe on the rights of an innocent person.
That's probably because we know we've executed people who were later found to be innocent.
A friend of a friend spent YEARS in prison for a crime he hadn't committed. He couldn't be with his mother on her deathbed.
@@IzzyKawaiichi Yeah, we really get off to that. Land of the Free eh? 😜
@@stingerjohnny9951 I mean, it's a double-edged sword. You want to bring people to justice, but you don't want to wrongly convict someone either. "Innocent until proven guilty" may allow more evildoers to go free, but "guilty until proven innocent" not only isn't fair, it's an incentive for the real perpetrator to actively frame someone else for their crime.
There's an article that talks about what he thought was plagerism... it was super mundane things in a show like: a teacher telling a student they're going to fail if they don't try harder, and a school banner flying in the wind. It's pretty crazy. I don't think a person like this deserves redemption. I'm not happy about it, I'm still devastated, but it's a relief to hear that justice was dealt.
If I remember correctly, he had entered a competition of the studio, in which you have a chance to have your scene/idea featured in one of their works (or something like that). He wrote a scene of two characters going to a supermarket and buying meat on sale. He did not win and for some time everything was fine, until he watched one of the studio´s anime, which had a scene similar to what he wrote. If you watch any documentary about this tragedy, you learn that he was pretty unstable and agressive individual and seeing this scene was his last straw. In his head the studio stole his work and he was in for the revenge.
I’m not sure about this particular contest but the whole plagiarism thing would also depend on who owns the rights to the story in question. Some of them stipulate, if in the fine print, that all entries to the contest become the property of the company running the contest, in this case KyoAni studio(?). Which makes this whole thing even more sickening imo.
@@lmizutani47even so, I don't think plagiarism would even apply here since a lot of the things he claimed were plagiarized were basic simple things. KyoAni is known for slice of life genre, so about of the things that were "plagiarized" were literal everyday scenes of life.
Seems to me like he was fishing for a reason
The DA: "Your honor, my client pleads 'oopsie-daisy'."
It's devastating just to remember the incident
it really is
If I recall some old video discussing the arson right, the arsonist was an aspiring screenwriter who entered a script into a contest hosted by the studio. He didn't win and the "plagiarism" that triggered the attack was a character getting a discount on meat that was almost out of date. That something so trivial led to something so horrible is mind boggling.
Man, I still remember this like it was yesterday, because when this happened, I was studying in Kyoto. Like, I remember the morning vividly. And then visiting the spot, laying down flowers, talking to other people there. Man, I cried so much these days...
I can guarantee you that's not tears of happiness, it's just a release from this horrible nightmare, a closure
a different kind of happiness, happiness that there is closure now, not necessarily about the (deserved) fate this subject gets
His lawyers were right and even Joey seem to say it multiple time before realizing; That person is batshiet INSANE.
A while ago I remember listening something were some (criminal rights?) lawyer said about similar case basically that "If this isn't definition of insane to us, what is?"
I'm not saying anything about sentencing, but it kinda interesting that Joey himself proof the point that lawyers try to argue.
He's malicious instead of insane.
He's coherent enough to make a submission, perceive plagiarism, plan arson, disguise as officer, commence transactions of chemicals, track their targets for years, and physically attend the scene of the crime.
He is morally skewed, but he is in control of his actions where the malice is. He's not insane enough to actually go into the street and behave like a crazy person so the insanity plea didn't taken.
insanity is not an excuse
@@defaulted9485 You have a very strange view of mental illness. Insane people aren't monkeys who jump around and scream.
I’m happy Kyoto Animation’s staff is finally getting justice. It’s about time.
3:46 dunno how it is in Japan, but in the US (and most common law jurisdictions, I would presume) there's several tiers to "insanity" defenses. The full-on affirmative defense of "I'm crazy so I'm not guilty," has a pretty high bar complete with a lot of medical testimony, but the less-comprehensive defense of "I'm not a full-on crazy but just had diminished capacity" is more often used. The latter can stave off things like the death penalty or get the charge downgraded to a form of manslaughter.
As for how an attorney can try to do it, you kind of answered your own question. You couldn't help but call the whole thing "insane" despite your whole point being that it should be difficult to pull off an insanity defense here. The fact that the act itself is so outside the boundaries of normal human behavior can ironically help a bit, especially if the accused (1) had no prior history of doing anything off, (2) was a quiet but also generally productive or at least self-sufficient member of society, and/or (3) suffered a large (or series of grinding) setbacks that is widely acknowledged to be able to chip away at anyone's mental well-being.
As for whether or not the court/jury buys such a story is an entirely different matter. Honestly more often than not in truly heinous crimes, the entire defense is just something the system patiently sits through, simply because they have to before bringing down the hammer.
I wonder if there's an actual unbiased (if at all possible) psychiatric evaluation over there.
@@arualblues_zero I mean to proof criminal insanity, you basically gotta have no conscious and no self preservation. Best example of criminal insanity is the guy that killed his roommate, because he wanted to see what happened. Didn't really hide the body and had no plans to escape either. And if you do get that kinda sentence it usually means you're locked up for life, over medicated to keep you calm and never get out.
@@junrobin9335 Not from a psychiatric point of view. As I pointed out in my comment, it's a complex diagnose that should be properly assessed by psychiatric medical professionals (preferably one from prosecution and one from defense).
There's no "criminal insanity" as a diagnose in the DSM or other psychiatry books.
The "signs" that you mention as "proof" aren't such, it varies depending on which condition we're talking about.
@@arualblues_zero Criminal insanity is not really the diagnosis they would get. Criminal insanity is described in the law. It has nothing to do with like psychiatry or the actual diagnosis they would get.
In the law it would be described as a lack of motive and a lack of self preservation after the fact.
Most common diagnosis that would cause someone to display the behaviour in the law is actually people with antisocial personality disorder who have committed a crime.
And to decide on criminal insanity there's always experts. Not just from the persecutor but the defense can call up their own as well if they wish too. The job they got ain't to diagnose the disorder but to diagnose how compos mentis they where during the crime and if they even understood they committed a crime.
Such a sad and tragic event, i hope the survivors are recovering well.
Also your haircut is fire, looks good.
I feel so bad for not knowing about this story earlier and i can't even imagine how the familys of the victoms must have felt.
To think he would do something so heinous for such a petty reason is horrific. Glad that at least we got to see him face justice but it won't change what the people affected must have gone through. Hope this at least eases their pain.
I remember your video covering this story when the tragedy happened. I saw this ruling and knew you would follow up on it. Justice served for the victims, their families, and friends.
My opposition to capital punishment comes down to two factors: we're not good enough at determining who is and isn't guilty (think of all the people who have been executed only to be later exonerated) and it is in some sense psychologically harmful to us for the state to have the power to execute people (both as a society and for the individual executioners). That being said, I'm not exactly shedding any tears for this guy
I think i like this take. Its more of a concern for long term societal harm in terms of moral decay. Nothing to do with empathizing or valuing all life
@@yiklongtay6029 I value life when it values the life of others. If someone has no value for life, then their own life, by their own design and philosophy, also has no value.
@@stingerjohnny9951 Why should we let them create our morality? Don't let these bastards force you into their worldview.
@@Tom_Cruise_Missile That would work, but that would mean I’d value their lives to spite them, and that’s a level of supervillainy I don’t have the time or energy for in my life.
Act like an animal, get treated like an animal. That's my belief.

Adam Smasher?
I found out about it back in 2019 and was super shocked because it was with one of my favorite studios. I'm glad that the law has finally decided and that this crazy person has received his punishment. Now friends and relatives as well as fans can finally put an end to it It won't bring the talents back, but they can finally find peace. As the saying goes, karma always strikes back. And by the way, great new look.
Lawyers are required by law to defend their client to the best of their ability. Its not like they like the client or agree with what they did, etc. They can literally get in trouble for not defending their client as best they can.
Not that I'm saying that his lawyers' defense makes sense or is good. But defense attorneys need to do their job, and there's a saying that even the devil has the right to an attorney. Basically, if there's no defense attorney (for most democratic countries anyway), the conviction of a criminal is meaningless. So while I understand that defense attorneys can be really annoying and may appear like they're the enemies of the public, the fact that they're doing their job gives more meaning to a conviction (when it happens).
What I'm trying to say is, if a suspect gets judged/convicted without a defense attorney, that wouldn't be real justice. Because without a defense attorney, it cannot be proven beyond doubt that a suspect is guilty.
This just made my day
So many mistakes made in this video while talking about human rights, like we're talking about something that can be granted or denied freely, and while talking about the right to defense in court. What he's done is absolutely horrendous and he deserves to be punished, but even a mass murderer who took so many lives has the right to a fair trial and to defend himself, even though the proof of guiltiness is clear and the conduct is dreadful.
i was shocked hearing him talk about human rights like that
I remember being on exchange to Kyoto and paid my respects to Studio 1 in 2019. There are really no words to describe the aftermath scene… but the overwhelming support from the Kyoto community such as through donation boxes and flowers at the scene was heartwarming (and still is!)
I also attended the Free! 10th Anniversary Event last August and at the end of the event, they included a timelapse drawing by Futoshi Nishiya (the character designer) was very emotional and I had broken into tears.
It took 5 years, but justice has been served.
I remember seeing this on the national news in Denmark, when it happened. It was heart breaking. I had just begun watching Violet Evergarden, and had seen many of their other works too. They're great. The fantastic people of KyoAni will be remembered through their beautiful stories as they continue to captivate people. May they rest in peace.
thank you for sharing, I love K-ON! and was heartbroken when the studio was torched. Glad to see the end to this. I hope the survivors of the fire find peace with this ruling and may the victims RIP
Looking Good Pally! Great Story
I still remember vividly the news when I read them. I had severe depression and anime (especially KyoAni with their beautiful work) helped me cope. I'm devasted for the loss of life, the victims, their friends and family. Not only did the perpetrator kill 36 INNOCENT young and talented people, but also injured 30 more. A part of their works that they have spend hours of blood, tears and sweat into got also destroyed alongside it in the fire. What makes it even more tragic is the reasoning of the perpetratir. Plagiarism that proved to be far fetched and unproven. In fact, have you guys read his allegations? They were so vague that they could be part of any story telling and it wasn't even the same. The perpetrator had an unfair delusional reasoning.
I usually want to believe in human good, but his crime is simply irredeemable and I hope he will think about his crime every day until he is put to rest.
R.I.P. KyoAni employee's
I believe the dude to be schizophrenic.
I remember when this happened, I was in shock. So glad this monster is being brought to justice
Amazing video Joey,fantastic job and awesome haircut
I hope the families are able to have closure, and those who have died may rest in peace, even though losing loved ones is an irrevocable experience.
Ill say this, i dont support the death penalty, period, does NOT however mean i have any sympathy for this man, nor will i shed any tears
Understandable. You don't have to feel bad for your opinion!
That's my perspective, you can still hate them while still saying that the death penalty is wrong.
In some ways knowing that you're going to live the rest of your natural life never being a free person again is more torturous than your life being cut short. No escape.
I'm glad Aki feeds Joey well.
Shes raking good money trough her only fans.

Pretty much. It might take a few more generations for people to realize that free will is probably a hoax and that retributive justice is arbitrary trash that's only good for reinforcing rules. For now it seems we'll be left with big red arrow entertainment-justice complex videos on channels like these. For the world we live in it’s better to just ignore these things and give people's perceptions some time to improve.
Yep. Japan deals extremely well with public rage and all of that. It is insane that some countries allow a murder in revenge of victim. Isn't it the most common topic of all the art that is about revenge? People will never learn
Keep up the awesome work and videos Joey love the video
Thank you for covering this Joey, I hope the families of the victims are able to get the closure they need.
Also regarding 6:53 , I’ve recently found out from crime podcasts that due to previous cases of criminals committing unalive before their execution, therefore was changed to a death row inmate to know their execution few hours prior. In this case, Shinji Aoba definitely doesn’t deserve the ‘easy way out’ if he were to consider unaliving himself before his sentence
I live in Kyoto and this was such a big deal, everyone knew about it wether they were anime fans or not. I went to the site after it happened and it was so heartbreaking. Glad to see there is finally a conclusion.
Damn this is the most japanese looking haircut if I ever seen one
love the jacket love the haircut and damn what a terrifying story
Looking fresh Joey!!!
Oh damn. I heard about this. Was waiting for Joey to talk about this. 😮
I'm no lawyer, but a few of my family members are. Even if it seems clear that the person was in the wrong, it's not useful to start picking and choosing who should get the best possible representation in course (because otherwise it's a slippery slope where certain people just won't be represented). But yeah if nothing really sticks in terms of defense - like an insanity plea- , trying to reduce sentencing is the best they can hope for; things like feeling guilt for a crime can carry a lot of weight for some defenses.
Thank you. I was looking for this comment because I myself answered the person above. Many people forget that the hand of justice does not always point to the right person and that, in fact, lawyers provided by the state do not have the right to refuse their work, and therefore are obliged to defend everyone who submits a request. These are rules, they exist for a reason.
I hope joey sees this but in regards with how lawyers deal with these cases at least in my country we go by the idea that "everyone deserves a fair judgement" we don't have to like it we just have to fulfill our duty, yes we can litteraly just go "i know you are guilty so we just have to settle for the best outcome for you" this is a massive simplificacion of justice and all of that but it should help clear things out
When you think about wanting to go back in time to change things of course there's a lot of things you'd want to change, but this incident genuinely makes me want to go back in time to prevent it. Condolences to their friends and family and to all the future masterpieces they could have worked on.
My mind went blank at first when I saw the title of the video thinking it was about Issei Sagawa, but then remembered that he's already dead. Great information in this video!
Oh 2019 was only a couple years ago- WAIT 5 YEARS AGO?!?! 0:20
For anyone in the comments who hasn't seen "A Silent Voice" yet, please go watch that masterpiece in storytelling. One of Kyo Ani's best.
Love the new haircut my dude, you look awesome and fresh! 🎉 immediately caught my eye! ✨️
5 years ago feels so long ago and yet I’m still emotionally in 2015
8:40 Kyoto Animation was not also an animation studio, but also a publisher for novels. So he probably sent a of his work. Not to defend him and his claims for plagiarization was very weak anyway, but that's probably the reason why he attacked Kyoto Animation and not any other studio that had random features that resembled his novel. So usually amateurs send their drafts to publishing companies, and publishing honor the best novels with an awards which includes publishing contracts, of course--the no.1 novel usually even getting a contract for screen adaptation. It's fair to assume that this guy's work was rejected.
wouldn't it be worse to rot in prison without any chance for release?
not really he didn't really show any remorse about it so probably not
solitude confinmient would of been better
It's so barbaric to still have the death sentence 😢
@@nastjuschechka What other plan you have for someone who ignited 40 liters of gasoline, killed 36 people, showed no remorse, and STILL asserting KyoAni copied his work (according to CBR)? Letting him waste air, food, and health funds?
@@nastjuschechka life in prison is still a death sentence, you are just too much of a coward to do it yourself so you let the passage of time do it for you. i dont support its use lightly, only for complete certainty of guilt and only for objectively irredeemable crimes. both of which match this case.
Damn a new Joey
YEESSSS FINALLY!!! These animator made a lot of my favorite anime series.
While i heavily respect joeys input as his criticism is really helpful through the lens of soneone living in japan, it rubbed me the wrong way as to how hes opposed to giving a criminal a fair trial in the justice system.
While this attack was bluntly a hate crime that doesn't mean that other cases of murder are as one dimensional as this one was.
Having the mentality of charging criminals at face value without knowing the details is a really harmful mindset to have
Also in the hypothetical that his book was copied, all 36 people he killed wouldn't have been responsible for plagerism.
I remember when this first happened. I was shocked beyond belief over how senseless it was. Those people working there didn't deserve any of that, ever.
I'm hearing about it for the first time. Truly heartbreaking. And now we can only wonder what magical things this monster has taken from the world. Stories that will never be told. It's just so sad...
R.I.P to a lot of the K-on! staff, from what I remember a lot of the staff that were killed in the attack worked on that project. That was my childhood.
yeah he is definitely just barely a human being. for anyone else, it's okay to not lose sleep about him or anyone like him.
I remember that day, it such horrible hearing about this news. I hope those people are able to be in peace with the bad guy being taken down now.
Lawyers have to defend somebody no matter how bad they are, but most of the time they know that a guilty verdict is inevitable.
Reminder that the men from the Junko Furuta case are still walking free to this day (please correct me if there have been any recent developments)
Thinking about the same thing. I’ve literally never read about anything more sickening or cruel.
Or the cannibal guy who even got to publish a book and do other stuff... never went to jail
i just knew that joey was going to make a video of this news xD thank you joey for todays video
rip to all the victims of kyoto animation😢
Can we get a link to the article in the description next time you review one? Thanks for the video :)
Yooo didn’t know the anime zone was back!
Finally.
Honestly I am relieved that the verdict is finally out…It’s so sad to think of how many people died in this for nothing. Anime like Lucky Star were my childhood.
Although I must admit as a European the death penalty always feels kinda weird cuz in Europe the worst thing you could get is life-long prison.
If I remember correctly, the man submitted his story to Kyoani's novel writing contest and that's why he thought they plagiarized him.
I remember I was in China at the time when it happened and there was a part of me who wanted to drop everything and fly over there to show my support. I cried so much, so much sadness that summer. After Kyoani, Etika, and personal events, I cried more than I have ever and I feel like I have been dried of all tears. And yet I still hurt so much when I even see the photos.
Always good to see justice prevail.
I’m happy they have justice now
Aoba was very insane and takes it out on Kyoto Anime studio like did he ever think twice or he just want attention for himself my god Aoba went to do that and not feeling sorry I hope that the survivors are recovering well he should've think that he went too far with that.
Insane? No, more like an attention seeker.
I had no idea about what the situation was, but as that image showed up, I KNEW that this was going to be good
I remember reading the list of people who had passed, and I remember breaking down when I saw that some of them were apart of Free!... That anime means alot to me so to see that the people who made my childhood have their lives robbed in such a horrific way broke me. They will always hold a special place in my heart.
Lucky Star was my highlight in high school, I am very sad to what happened to the staff. They also did K-on, Haruhi Suzumiya, Clannad, Kobayashi Dragon Maid. That evil man has no sympathy from me.
Did the Kyoani building not have alternate fire-exits? How did one man setting fire to one entrance end up killing so many? Were there no sprinkler systems?
I think they were blocked or something in a way by the killer. I don't quite remember but there are vids here on yt about what happend and articels out there
I remember reading up on this when this happened, so some of my info might be wrong. From what I recall, the building was VERY old. So much so that a lot of the sprinklers didn’t work, and there was only one exit from the building, the central staircase that was on fire.
A lot of Japans older buildings have a lot of paper and wood in the building, and that stuff burns like tinder, which added literal fuel to fire.
@@beanjothe sprinklers where better then what is required by the fire code. However the fire code was based on the fire spreading naturally but he had poured gas everywhere spreading it faster then which overwhelmed the safety systems.
why they didnt jump out of the building? i survived from 4 story jump. i swear japanese people have no survival instinct.@@qtheplatypus
When i read about this i knew this video was coming, im still not over what this guy did tbh
He sent the book into them as part of a competition. He didn't get recognised at all in that competition, but then his storyline was on a series they did. Aledgidly.
According to law in most countries, every criminal has to go through a trial and you need a lawyer for a fair trial to happen. Therefore if the criminals have to be punished it is necessary that they also have legal representation.
well that's why we have "presumed innocent until proven guilty"
Although cancel culture basically erases that
even heard that lawyers are more stressed out if they know their client is innocent... because if the lawyer fails.. their client loses eventho he didn't do anything :(
so .. the same lawyers defend those they know are guilty but feel less if they lose
The fact that it took them 5 years to give that verdict...... Glad justice is served
to be fair, the murderer took approximately 2 years in the hospital to recover before he was able to be charged in court, and then covid came therefore everything got delayed
@@Vivace1810 Ohh yeah forgot about that. Probably explains why it took so long
I remember watching a video about the case and its circumstances. The guy sent his stories to the animation studio as entries for the story contest they organized. After not getting any response he watched a few of the new shows and in his delirious mind thought they were similar to the stories he submitted.
My heart goes out to the victims and the ones they left behind. To think they would lose someone they loved just because of this... THIS! It's absolutely heartbreaking. Rest in Peace to all the victims. You guys deserved more than what happened to you.
