      They suppress their crimes rate by simply not punishing in fear of “looking bad” on the world stage. The Japan, like other eastern countries, like to believe serial killers and violent crime is a “western thing.” They don’t investigate very well or charge for things like rape or child abuse. Look at their defamation laws….if you speak out about what someone did to you *even if it’s true* YOU are liable to pay the other person fines AND go to prison for 3 years for making the information public and “hurting” person who hurt you. This could include anything from rape, fraud, domestic abuse, etc. it’s crazy. A country of suppression that prioritizes “looking good” in front of others.

      ​​​​@@basicallyno1722In Japan, even if it is true, if you publicly spread something that damages someone's social reputation without justifiable reason, it may be considered defamation. This seems to be based on the idea that it is not good to expose things that other people don't want to be exposed to and ruin that person's social reputation, even if it is true. However, as an exception, if you speak out about a matter of public interest, if your purpose in speaking out is to promote the public interest, and if it is true, then you cannot be punished for defamation.
      so If you speak out about a highly public issue, such as sexual assault or corruption by politicians, and if it is true, you will not be punished for defamation.
      By the way, I think your statement is a bit exaggerated and gives the misunderstanding that if you are accused of defamation, you will be sentenced to three years in prison without any conditions. Indeed, the maximum possible penalty if found guilty of defamation is three years in prison. However, in the case of defamation, the police and lawyers encourage the parties to reach a settlement. Therefore, even if criminal charges are filed for defamation, in many cases the case does not result in arrest or prosecution. Even if the settlement does not go well and you are indicted, most likely you will receive a suspended sentence or a fine. So I can't say for sure, but unless the perpetrator is habitual or extremely malicious, I think it's rare for someone to go to jail for defamation.

      Yes. The whole idea of your14 year old son washing someone else's hair in the shower or brushing his hair or caressing his shin should be a non starter and a huge red flag. I know the world is changing. But washing your friends hair in the shower or sticking grandma's '10" shoulder massager' up your bum and busting a load just ain't right! The world should never change that much. Plugging your butt at 11 years old? That's a bridge too far. And that's probably a learned behavior. So keep both eyes on grandma if you care about your 11 year old's sphincter control. "We're going to grandma's Shin!" "Okay mommy. Can you call ahead and see if she bought any more Vaseline yet?"

    The fact that he was even allowed near Jun is confusing after he attacked him for no reason prior to the killing. There were too many red flags for him to even be allowed to be near other kids. I hope no other people will be inspired by him. It's scary how almost all serial killers get inspired by other serial killers like how simple curiosity can turn into fascination and then lead to inspiration.
    Great story telling as always, Stephanie!

      If we as humans turn away heinous acts by other humans, it leads to further dehumanization of people who aren't horrendous. Just like how chimps can mutilate their comrades and protect chimps from other groups, humans too can be kind and giving as well as destructive and murderous. It's the way it is in all intelligent animals. Elephants can return yearly to grieve at human homes, while simultaneously attacking the corpse of a person they hated during the person's funeral. Humans as animals are no different. If we learn to dehumanize then we will be more likely to dehumanize more and more. It doesn't mean Shinichiro isn't an evil and sadistic person. It just means he is a person.

    It should be decided by:
    1. The Crime itself
    2. Nature or the crime
    3. History of crime
    4. Damage to victims
    5. Outcomes of crime
    6. Dangers of reoffending with same crime
    One last thing:
    Loss of life, directly or indirectly, laws that give lenience to reduce sentence should not apply.

      Japan's current juvenile law was enacted in 1947, not 1960, and promulgated in 1948. At that time, it was a chaotic period after the war, and there was a food shortage. As a result, the number of war orphan boys who commit crimes such as theft and robbery in order to survive has increased. Therefore, the Juvenile Law was established with the purpose of protecting and rehabilitating them.
      Incidentally, the current juvenile justice system was established under the guidance of the general headquarters (GHQ) and modeled after the juvenile justice system in Chicago, Illinois.

      @Shinchan-ig7yp I'd only been in Japan a few months at that stage, so it was all a little confusing for me, not fully understanding the language yet. I was only really concerned when walking from the train station to my home in the evening, the rest of the time I was not too concerned as there were always lots of people around. Also, Kobe was far enough away that we were more cautious, but not really fearing for our lives. I was attending a high school during the day, Monday - Saturday (they still had school every Saturday back then 😭) and (of course) it was a hotly discussed topic at school, and everywhere!
      I do remember that everyone was in absolute shock and disbelief that it was a kid that did it when he was finally arrested.
      There were other cases that really scared my host family and others around - the curry incident when the lady poisoned the town curry, the mother who killed her kindergarten daughter's friend, the random poisonings at supermarkets (eg injecting stuff into unopened drinks), etc. People were generally on high alert during that period.

That he has the nerve. It’s just incredibly abhorrent how confident he was.

    I worked at a daycare one summer. There were a couple kids there who showed signs of a terrible darkness inside, much like the boy in this story.
    They would torture other kids with no provocation, then cry like they were the victim. When they thought no one was looking, they let the mask fall, showing a frigid, dark, empty-eyed expression.
    One of these kids threatened me on my last day, saying they would come to my house with a knife and k1ll me. He was 6. When staff told his mother, she broke down crying and acted like we were being mean to her. This kid's brother, when not attacking other kids, would talk to everyone about k1lling himself. He was 10.

Asking in a naive childish manner if he could push his school buddy into the train when we were having an excursion.

    At age 14 I witnessed a kid try to jump a spiked iron fence trying to get to the bus stop on time....his pants caught and he fell back, his neck impaled on the huge spike. He looked like he was perfectly hanging there, like a placed Halloween decoration, but his eyes were all wide & empty and his mouth was gaping open and shut like a fish out of water. It was absolutely horrible. I don't remember how his mother got there or even what she looked like, but I remember her screams and sobs. I don't even know how long I stood watching him. He obviously died pretty quickly.
    But even that...at least we all knew it was an accident! It wasn't some psycho playing games. Jesus, that must have been awful. You'd wonder if the person was still there and planning to get you too!

There was a line of slugs on the sidewalk outside her porch and she asked me if I wanted to feed them. I said yes, of course, all excited and she gave me a bag of salt. She told me to throw it at them and I did, I was confused when they started curling up. When my mom got to me, she asked what I was doing (the old woman had bren watching me in her wheelchair) and I said I was feeding the slugs. My mom was horrified and explained that salt kills slugs. I felt so bad I think I started crying. My mom was asking the woman why she made me do it, I don't know what she said, but I never saw her again. Before we left I got on all fours and sat with the slugs until they stopped moving, and my mom let me. Gosh I can't belive I still remembr that it must have been 10 years ago or more.

      For a long time science didn't think crabs felt pain and they were boiling those guys alive. Now we know different. I think that any organism that can experience damage and death probably feels some version of pain because avoiding damage just makes sense evolutionarily. Even if that pain is just ecological distress like what happens with trees, they know something is wrong, they don't like it and they take actions to save themself (slugs moving away from salt), make the discomfort less (like pearls) or to warn other connected organisms (trees producing chemicals to warn other trees about damage or disease).

I can only state what I know about what science has discovered, but science has been disproven time and time again so we never really know do we… However I think people mix up having a nervous system with being able to feel pain. You feel it bc of your system but if you don’t have the genetic ability (brain section/other) you won’t receive the pain impulse in a way that causes you to feel pain. A very rare genetic human version is know as CIPA (congenital insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis). Very dangerous and probably a very difficult condition to live with, but fascinating on a scientific level.

When I didn't see a posted video on Sunday, I consciously realized then how much I look forward to Wednesday and Sunday because of your storytelling! You and your team put so much effort and work into the story process... it is very appreciated.
    *I believe one can be reformed when they begin to feel remorse for their actions, empathy towards others, and commit to a life of actions stemming in atonement... knowing that atonement can never truly be achieved, BUT that's the price. You continue to do it anyway knowing you can't take the intentional harm you put into the world away. As an INFJ ... it sounds like he lacks the ability to empathize, so it is hard to imagine he is an INFJ. Strongly empathetic is a driving characteristic.
    My heart goes out to all those victims, which include the families.

    I won't beat around the bush:
    - I am fond of anime culture
    - I had a strong bond with my grandmother (like a second mother because of "bipolar relationship with my mother")
    - I've never been the best and making friends, and still struggle to this day
    - I'm fascinated with the human brain or behaviour
    - Always received result of INFJ, while trying the test alone, at school, and at the hospital
    I probably shouldn't be, but I almost feel ashamed to have these similarities with a homicidal maniac and sociopath. I stand behind the law, fully aware of the shades of morally acceptable and not, as well as what is within the realm of legality.
    My take on said INFJ results for "Boys A" (for what he did, this man does not deserve the acknowledging of his name but instead a title reminiscent of his inhumanity, though one might say being inhuman is part of being human, to which I will say in a very Descartes-like manner to be human is to be aware that you are aware; for this part Boy A felt human as he pondered about it. However he took it upon himself to decide to be the Leviathan and be the decision between life and death, something I find to be more reminiscent of a God Complex, or perhaps, then, with this manipulative, premeditated and self-serving aspect, do we find he is a psychopath.)
    Finally, the INFJ part, might be the result of his twisted pondering and interpretations of reality. As you said, he has a different way of seeing things, and all minds are different, even further apart when you have a mind formed in such a convoluted fashion, thus my personal opinion, and once again it is just my personal judgement, not objective, is that Boy A twisted factors to his own interest and experience and what he interprets as x or y. It is however possible that he is an INFJ just not a "good one" to put things in black and white, or rather a twisted version of an Advocate or Idealist. Perhaps his own metaphor of an INFJ personality result.
    Be that as it may, I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, nor do I work in the forensics, thus my word is only pure observation.
    I found the documentary particularly informative, as expected of Rotten Mango, and interesting, while still being gruesome. Being the "mother" of three cats, I was particularly in pain listening to those parts about the animal cruelty and the cats. I obviously wish to avoid such fate at any cost for my own. But this pattern of cruelty is still something common in many killers, so, in a macabre and unfortunate way, it did not surprise me.
    I wish all who are here and even Rotten Mango, a good rest of your day, afternoon, or night, and hope you stay safe and healthy.

    I actually quite believe what he said about why he killed June, ofc he got off on the gore of it all but it’s always more intense than that even with standard emotional abusers such as cheaters, they often victimize someone who reflects so much light and purity into the world that it challenges all of their darkness in a way that makes them want to tame or quench or deeply harm/ end a being that embodies love and take deep routes to lower said individuals to their horrid depths in understanding of life and in this case death.
    Because as soon as you said he hated June’s eyes my first thought was this, that June a sweet innocent child with the ability to be so mesmerized and excited by his (to be murderer) in many ways felt like a twisted attack. I mean he obviously felt jealousy because June was so warm and likable in opposition to him and how he viewed himself as so isolated from the world that he couldn’t possibly see himself in such a way because the only person he believed knew and could ever value him was now gone. But many people are like that they end up hating the person that sees the best in them because they don’t believe in themselves and refuse to put in the work to be better and ultimately mark themselves as monsters in many facets because taking the time to understand others and become like the attributes they view to be good is far harder to do the Inter a work that addresses one’s own harm than it takes to cause physical harm to others, which is also why I think he modeled after the blood drinking so cleanse his soul because deep down he knew he was shitty in many ways and would rather take these ‘easier routes’ to feel better than the nitty gritty work that it takes to unpack the deep emotional baggage he was carrying, much of which was his own fault….
    Instead of making friends he spent all his time idolizing his grandma but ofc he wouldn’t see his isolation as being bred from his own scarcity but that he was just an undeniable outcast so he dawned and fawned after others who in his warped mind were just like him, and picking an identity to intense as such a young age would mark him indefinitely as said monster. I do have to add the trauma of his grandmas death really is what feels like sparked this downword spiral into his disgusting way of making something to be loved out of death, his inability to deal with or even understand his own pain and the loss of what he considered to be his world led to the need for escape from it and from reality and even further finding pleasure in ones own pain (his start in sled pleasure being his memory of his dead grandma) to that of other peoples pain is like a deep fantasy for those who find release into bringing others into their own misery.
    Just absolutely sick and vile and so maniacally convoluted and complex, but if any of my studies have into true crime have taught em anything it’s that, the human brain/ mind is so deeply complex to then topple it with these horribly grotesque and brutal attributes, convictions and desires the layers just never stop unraveling.
    Also my apologies for any misspellings or confusing points, this case just really peaked my intense desire to understand the mind of a horrible murderer.
    Side note I didn’t finish this video before writing all of this and more of what I intuitively started to understand is what Shin began to express in this ‘memoir’ so this is just even more shocking and horrid of a story for me to have forced myself to understand, I don’t know why yet exactly but it feels like a protective mechanism to hopefully allow me to be able to spot horrible people before I again let them into my life in any ways with the ability to hurt me. I love your videos Stephanie you are such a light that makes absorbing all of this darkness a lot easier, thank you for subjecting yourself to such continuous sources of harsh knowledge to be able to share with so many.
