@Sooriiu usually it's because they have been exposed to adult content too young...or have been abused Also with how adult content is everywhere in Japan...yeah its gonna mess up some kids. Its horrible.
@@epic7224Abuse is more likely, or even more likely in this case, he's lacking empathy from a young age, perhaps ASPD. While violent sexual media being watched form a young age absolutely isn't good, I think this case is more than that.
@@epic7224 There was no abuse or anything. Some people are just F evil. Period. They want to, therefore they do. People need to realise it's that easy for them!
Foe shizzle right, and the fact that he had a future to where he wrote a book. If he was in Cali, I’m sure he would have been dealt with. A creep by every sense of the word
I was surprised that I got it right that he is the killer since Steph mentioned him being observant of his surroundings while walking from school. It's weird, but probably because I got used to Steph's way of narrating the stories...there will always be a surprising twist.
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?"
Well, that's the Japanese court for you. I bet the judges themselves are delinquents in their hearts - thus let him off easy. Most judges are a bunch of clowns 🤡
@@morgainebrigid Unfortunately, even with that, he cannot restore his sanity. I could always understand traumas, issues, etc. but the fact he was able to admit of having a good childhood and good life...
@@morgainebrigidAt least he was released from medical juvenile detention center because he was considered rehabilitated. He will not be admitted to a mental hospital in the future unless he develops some kind of mental problem.
This left me speechless, not to mention the fact he killed 2 people, AND attempted murder, AND wrote a goddamn book, almost BRAGGING about murder is sickening. How is he just left to live freely? AND killed animals in his free time, how tf does that not scream CRAZY!
It's Japan. They literally had a celebrity murderer/cannibal walking around like he did nothing. He was never punished and also wrote a book about his crime. 😭 Seems like Japan never learns when it comes to law and justice.
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.
@@lmrstrllYou read my mind!I was seeing a pattern as to how the most heinous japanese killers who are also n€crophiliacs seem to love writing about their murders in details and sell the book without any shame. They get the audacity because the japanese government isn't able to stop them from being "authors".
@@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.
Right???! And then there are people who do way more "normal" crimes and get a way too high sentence. Heck, sometimes there are innocent people who get a life or death sentence. With each and every day passing I am getting more confused and disgusted by the justice system. And the idea of him having kids frightens me very much.
"Shin finishes combing his friend's hair... and picks up his severed head off the bathroom counter" gosh this went dark..I was like yeah he's a sweet guy and suddenly..💀
The grandma segment was crazy. Imagine being as young as 11 years old and doing something as bizarre as having your first intamate experience while thinking about your dead grandma.🤯
Him profiting off his Murders is literally terrifying and angering. He has no remorse. I’m so sorry to all those poor innocent angels that never had a chance.
hearing about jun’s parents no longer able to use their living room coffee table due to there being a puzzle he has yet to finish hurt me so much my head hurts. i pray the most peaceful of rest for these children along with the others who carried on their lives having had to encounter this monster. this is a brutally heart wrenching case. i genuinely cannot fathom how there can be any laws whatsoever to protect minor killers. if you killed someone, you killed someone, and you have to serve your time regardless of your age.
this man is actually a danger to society, how is he free to roam?? every time with these cases i always question the court for giving these criminals minimum time (esp for minors)
I believe Paris Bennet will be up for parole not too far away. Although his family doesn't live here anymore he's from my hometown. I'm hoping his mother stays hidden from him so as to protect her younger child.
Many countries laws about minors are pretty outdated, like I know for Korea and Japan they’re more lenient on minors because when these laws were created (1940ish) kids didn’t always get an education and were illiterate and so they would let them get away with smaller crimes (although this sadly includes murder, murder isn’t small though so it’s absurd) because they felt like it would be an injustice to the kids because they “didn’t know any better”
Paris Bennet scares the absolute crap out of me. He is gonna go after his mother for sure. She needs to hide. He killed his sister just to hurt her. I can’t believe they are going to let him out knowing all they do about him.
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.
I was an exchange student living in Kyoto (about 1 hour away by train) when this occurred. Everyone was pretty freaked out and my host family instructed me to come STRAIGHT home after school each day. We were all in shock when we discovered it was just a kid that had committed this horrible crime.
@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.
I always find these comments funny because random kids in the neighbourhood and my friends would always play with dead animals💀 most ppl grow out of it
@@iz_ray2479??? Look, i can understand killing a bug or two, or poking at an already dead animal's corpse out of curiosity, but when there's a pattern where the child is torturing and killing animals, that's not something they're likely to grow out of. There's a spectrum of "playing with dead animals"
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!
It kinda makes sense tho. We get inspired by people we like and who have similar interest or hobbies as us. If anyone is inspired from these psychopaths, they were one to begin with
Unfortunately most people are born with ASPD (Anti-social personality disorder). Not saying all of them become killers, only a small percentage does! However some villains are in fact born.
@@mawiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii it took me a few moments to realize you meant most people who have ASPD were born with it, not that most people have ASPD lol
This is like the second story I hear from Japan where a serial killer gets to enjoy freedom, write books and make money off of them. It's kind of crazy.
What's up with killers writing books?? One, who takes the life of another, SHOULD NOT be able to profit of that very same unforgivable act. And the fact is whenever they write books, it always become best seller. It's as morally atrocious as carving lengthy paragraphs on the victims' bodies and getting praised. The amount of pain the families feel is unimaginable. Shame. Notes: I've been studying and observing your guys' responses, and I feel as your comments opened my perspective, so I'll take into consideration elements which may cause contradictions when making statements such as my previous comment.
In Australia, you are not allowed to profit off of a crime. I didn't finish listening to the video as it was really making me feel awful. I was surprised reading the comments that he was making money from what he'd done..
In recent years, only a couple to be honest, I’ve heard at sentencing they are not allowed to profit from their story. A good example was Darrell brooks. I’m pretty sure there was a large amount of restitution in his case but she said if that somehow was paid he was not to profit ever.
ngl im super grateful for mr mango butt sometimes who voices confusion bc I find myself often getting lost in the narrative storytelling / time jumps and stuff
Fun fuct: The offender, 少年A, called himself as 酒鬼薔薇 聖斗(Sakakibara Seito), Sakakibara is a usual Japanese family name but he writes it in different letters with the same sounds, 酒(Saka) means alcohol, 鬼(Ki) means demon, 薔薇(Bara) means roses, it's a typical word play that the teens would come up with. 聖斗 is also the word play, it sounds like "Saint" and 聖(Sei) actually means Saint in Japanese.
@@hamdiyazid200 Means nothing. You know it's kind of those things kids do just because. In Japan or not, kids draw skull on his notebook just because, write down the word "satan" just because, etc. I assume Alcohol and Demon are those kinda things(just because), if you are gonna write your "killer name", you might just wanna write it with the double meaning with "those kind of words", you know? And Roses are maybe Japanese specific. You can see the 薔薇(Rose) letter right? It is well known among Japanese, kids or adults, that the Kanji letters for Roses are so complex and difficult, so much so you can impress someone just by writing it. I assume he chose Roses because it is such kind of "unique" letters.
Serial killers say that they prefer cats over dogs because cats are more difficult to catch. They have to entice them and dogs just come to you easily.
@@barbaragenshin9848right, like I've paused the video right at the point and I'm not sure I even wanna finish it right now. I might go watch "Don't Fuk with Cats" instead. I hope they didn't include the torture part that inspired them to find the guy though. I guess I can just fast forward. I'm gonna go hug my cat right now. 😢
this is absolutely crazy.. at 11 years old???? i cant imagine the image of him having his first intimate experience WHILE thinking of his GRANDMA?? i also cant image him impaling the poor kids head on the fence... edit : thanks for 1k likes! also after analyzing this again, i dont understand why they only gave him 6 years when he killed 2 children. and its so upsetting that he profited off his kills :(
When I watch your videos, I usually keep a straight face hearing about the cases you share, the occasional shock and sadness, but not for this video the entire video I was just shocked and had to pause multiple times. Thats how crazy this case is.
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. Child psychopaths are too often overlooked.
Also met such a child in my internship in primary school. He was 9 years old, a pathological liar, no concept of authority nothing could scare him. He made his own rules mostly we were not able to stop him (except other children were in danger). He brought knives to school threatening children. Asking in a naive childish manner if he could push his school buddy into the train when we were having an excursion. The most shocking about this: theres noting we could do if his parents wouldnt corporate! His mom even was a doctor, still not taking measures... im often thinking about what hes doing now ...
My heart broke about Jun....that poor little boy excited to see turtles gets murdered gruesomely by someone who he thought he could trust.....he couldnt even live a long life and it breaks my heart that his body was used horribly after death...😭😭😫 1:05:54 May that poor baby rest in peace🙏🏻
Rightt I used to love turtles as a kid bc my name began with a T too and I remember in second grade my friend’s big brother would take me to see some cse their neighborhood had a bunch of them. I couldn’t imagine him hurting me in the process 😢he probably was so confused and hurt
@@misakiiiiiiiiiiiii that's already bad enough on its own , but knowing how ppl talk abt how often cats are hated bc they're an animal that consistently sets and puts up boundaries and consent like we humans do ??? it's really as if these soon-to-be murderers use them as sort of ,, human substitutes .....
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.
Never in my life have i ever been so revolted by any human being. Like how messed up in the head does someone have to be to be attracted to his grandma? 🤮 And also to be a deranged serial killer? Some people are truly evil.
This is honestly the only true crime video that has ever made me throw up. I’ve never had such a physical reaction to a case before. Truly so vile and sickening. Just pure evil.
@@catherinethecatlike the junior high schools felt it more than the senior high schools. I remember having discussions with my friends about it and pretty much concluded that this guy was f*cked in the head. There wasn’t much detail released at the time since he was a minor but it just made the crime more unbelievable.
I don’t think “punishment” should be decided by age. 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.
@@heheing Yes they absolutely can. Especially if the offense is severe, they just don’t care BECAUSE they know that they can get away with little to no consequences. We were all teenagers once, we knew wright from wrong. Murder, R*pe, severe bullying. We knew that those thing were wrong. I understand if the offense is smaller, but the bigger the crime, the more aware they are of how bad what they are doing is. That way of thinking is what keeps minor unpunished.
@@omarn4830 minors cannot understand whether they’re being groomed, agreeing to be in sexual relationships with adults because they “love” them, etc. That’s why there are laws to protect children because they cannot grasp the gravity of their situation. There’s a reason why parents/guardians get to make pretty much all decisions for them and stay under their care until 18yo
@@heheing That is true for VICTIMS and NOT the assailant. That’s what those laws are for. While both can be true at once, it doesn’t take away from the fact that the crime was done.
It’s wild to think someone so young could be this calculated and sadistic. I know morbid curiosity can go many ways but this deep is so wild. This is an absolutely horrific case. Very well read and detailed though, thank you Stephanie and the team❤️
6 years. He's a very dangerous person. He checked all of the serial killer boxes, and there's no therapy that fixes that. He does not see people as having value or agency. He enjoys killing. This is terrifying. His total disregard for how a detailed *murder* book would affect the victims' families says it all. He does not feel remorse. He's not capable of feeling bad about what he's done. He's probably quite pleased he's free. He's older and better trained to cover what he intends to do.
too disappointing honestly, basically we're waiting for another innocent victim or even more just for them to lock him up again for good. Can't believe their justice system.
I’m only four minutes in and learning that it was a eleven year old boy broke my heart. I thought it would be about the teacher instead. how could someone be this cruel? no one deserves such a death,poor boy.
I cannot imagine the trauma of finding a head on fence! 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!
@@leannebritton5656I don't think you ever really get "over" trauma. It never really goes away. You can just lessen the impact it has over you by trying to work through your feelings over it.
He was killing slugs and cats for years before the incident with his grandma, so that incident didn’t cause his issues. It was just a new aspect of it. This man is out there killing people unless he has died himself. That sort of psychopathy isn’t cured. The public won’t be safe unless he is locked up (in prison or a mental hospital).
Honestly, the way you respectfully recount stories is incredible. You/'re informative, without losing the gentleness and kindness that we need to hear these stories without cringing away. Hopefully, your diligent efforts lead to better policing, better detection and better sentencing for these kind of people. Thank you for your hard work
Moms know when their kids are giving serial killer vibes, the red flags pop up and she should have intervened immediately after hearing the rumors about the killing of cats
Easier said than done. Most mothers can't and won't do anything because it's their child. A woman's brain is literally re-wired when they give birth. Some become utterly devoted. It's why there are so many mothers who will do anything for their kid until the end, even if they do terrible things.
@@g.d.2059 Part of doing anything for your child is getting them help when they need it. The culture of shame around mental illness is the problem. It has nothing to do with the devotion because if getting mental care was acceptable socially (especially in SE asian countries) getting them therapy would be part of that devotion.
@@g.d.2059"easier said then done" indeed, but its NOT impossibly hard. humans chose to become weak in situations like that because they are egoistic as fuck.
47:08 once, but it was unintentional. I was around 8 years old and at some old women's apartment (a family friend igs). 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.
Oh god, that old woman was so horrible to have you "feed" them salt. Because as a child of course you wouldn't know. So casually evil. Poor slugs, they're so hated by people, yet all they do is munch on leaves and and mind their own business
He has been sick since such a young age yet his family chose to ignore him instead of seeking help, this is the reality in the 90's where mental illness is a myth. His family didn't even watch over him throughout his time in the juvenile center and afterwards. Such a severe lack of sense of responsibility.
@@PrincessofKeys At some point you gotta draw the line tho. This is not okay. There's a big difference between being kinky and... this. I'm not talking about purely fictional stuff. If someone knows to distinguish 'kinks' and reality and enjoys that kind of fantasy in a puregely fictional / hypothetical setting, knock yourself out. But this was with real people... at that point it's not longer defendable. Just sick.
I beg of you to please start telling bedtime stories. Like….mythology or something. Long stories. I LOVE hearing you tell a story and I love listening to videos to fall asleep.
I was too afraid to even take a cigarette at school from a friend when I was 14, I don’t understand how he has the nerve to hide a body in his ceiling. Would you not be constantly terrified that your parents would find it?? I think his desire to kill was stronger than his human instinct fear of getting caught. That’s terrifying to be honest. That he has the nerve. It’s just incredibly abhorrent how confident he was.
I think that his mental state checked out, so it's not even a thought to them, and probably had a fixation and focus (I mean that sh*t about watching twisted crimes of serial killers...or was that when he was even older? Not sure? But I think he's checked out and something is SERIOUSLY not functioning...I really feel something had occured or f*cked with the way he thinks. if not a physical abuse or SA, maybe a mental abuse of sorts 🤷♀️ Not interested in him and finding him as like a "Tortured" or "Complex person" that's bs. But Interested in how wanting to know what created this❔️what set this forth so intensely, with no going back. There HAD to have been a break. I will say at that young age, when he lost his grandma think that was a little bit in the mix of what was set in motion.
I love my cat so fucking much, like if she sneezes I’m over to her side petting her like poor baby (I am that cat mom but she has been such a joy to my life the past almost 2 years) so that cat description broke me and possibly made my cat like cuddles even less because I grabbed her crying hugging her 😂
@@clashwithwordshe is, what’s worse is Japan needs to change their laws but personally I don’t know how much this would help either because I’m from the US and well. He deserved way worse and the fact he’s out and about is horrifying to say the least. I remember watching an episode of Law and order I think? And this child murdered another guys kid but lied about it and he actually ended up killing the kid who killed his son because he knew the kid was not remorseful nor was he going to stop. It’s a sad reality but I don’t think these killers can be cured. I def wish we knew more about the brain and why they do what they do but sadly we can’t
The fact he wasn't bullied or anything makes me think he is crazy , { Condolences to the family and friends of his victims } ; the way he wrote about himself made it easy to understand his perspective on dis-liking people and gauge his level of crazy . The judicial system keeps dropping the ball . One deffinetly flew over the coco's nest
From the description, he likely had antisocial personality disorder. In a medical context, antisocial doesn't mean introverted, like you dont have it just because you dont like parties or something. No, its characterized by a disconnect and sometimes disdain for other people. Like, people beyond, perhaps, a chosen few dont matter to you at all, and it spirals downward into having no empathy for things people (unfortunately) see as lesser, like animals. The way he described hating Jun's eyes reminded me of Dazai Osamu's book "No Longer Human," where he writes (about himself, as the main character is a stand in for him) that the worst thing he can think of is to be "known." And how when a child sees through his mask of being the class clown, he feels intense hatred and fear towards him. I theorize that sufferers of Antisocial Personality Disorder have a common trait in this fear or hatred of being known. Or something similar, related to self-image. This was essentially confirmed by Shinichiro himself at 1:07:01, where he describes hating the reflection of himself he saw in Jun's eyes. Now, it IS important to note that not all people with this disorder become murderers, but its common enough that proper diagnosis and treatment is important. Despite their harder starting point, these kids CAN be taught empathy. He also likely has a psychotic disorder of some sort. His hallucinations of his Grandmother, and of hearing Jun talk out of his severed head? Having conversations with him? Im not sure what that could be, but psychosis is more of a symptom of other disorders than a disorder on its own.
The guy behind the camera has great commentary and it's well timed. It really adds a lot imo. The script hooks are so well done and I like that you try to keep opinions out to some degree. Glad I found this channel recently! Keep educating the world🙂
I listened to it already on podcasts but I’m genuinely so scared of him like I could never imagine that happening. Please stay safe and have a good day/night!
A small comfort to find in this horrific video is that slugs do not feel pain. Sadly that does not go for all the other precious lives he tortured. Thank you for humanising victims, you’re by far the only one that makes the true horror of these cases painfully apparent. Stephanie, you’re wonderful! ❤ Edit: yes slugs have responses to external stimulation with their nervous systems but they do not have the part of the brain/electrical impulses that cause us to feel pain. Thank you for the likes ♥️
How do you know? They seem to react to being touched, and they can make noise when they're dissolved. IDC tho I have a phobia of them lol I'd just rather not even interact w them
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).
@@anonimus8375 I completely agree with you on that one. 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.
A serial killers fascination with themselves, never ceases to amaze me.Their like a blackhole for attention, and they make even less sense. Even to themselves. Just mindless prattling to appear "complex" and "tortured", but it's just as Stephanie said they are usually just empty, vapid, and vain.
I don’t think criminal protection will ever make sense. I think the law should always stand alongside with public safety. Transparency is the best method for safety. This isn’t just a story. This is terrifying. Horrifying.
Exactly !! The fact that sick convicted criminals are given a chance to redeem themselves and the victims have to live in constant fear of their lives is absolutely crazy.
Steph your the best! So proud on how far you've come. Especially all the good you're doing. Being a voice for those that tend to go unheard & forgotten. ❤
I stumbled upon your channel accidentally and never left. I think the thing that I appreciate most about you and your channel is the trigger warnings you leave in the beginning of each case. Thank you for helping others keep themselves safe and healthy. Thank you for all the work you do to research all the episodes you put out, and thank you for one of my favorite things to listen to while I do things around the house. You’re one of my few podcasts I listen to regularly ❤️
It's been a long time since I noticed scheduled entertainment. 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 thought I had gotten things confused or missed a notification. I kept checking back. I look forward to Stephanie's storytelling so much, I don't subscribe to cable and her programming is the first time in years I've looked forward to things posted on the regular. I was worried! But I don't want our worry to put pressure on her; if she ever needs a break for mental health or for personal reasons, everyone deserves that. Edit: I guess we'll have to miss this one. My dog passed away last Monday and I'm hugely sensitive to animal abuse. I'd rather take the warning than be a puddle of tears.
My friend and I were kinda freaking out cuz there was no Sunday video or Monday videos which she posts at times :( I’m still sad since there’s nothing new for me to hear
@9livesalicat86 , I'm so sorry you lost your dog. Till 2 kitty cats came into my care, I had no idea the impact of pet beings in a persons life. I can understand why you needed to skip the episode. Stephanie has such a gift for descriptions. Admittedly, it was difficult to listen to. Sending you healing thoughts and blessed doggie reminders.
You're so talented when it comes to story telling, it's insane. So captivating and also you're always so considerate and respectful. Love what you do girl ❤
When Stephanie mentioned Seito, first I thought she was referring to the victims, not the killer himself, my heart dropped so fast..Its scary to realize anyone can be evil, and commit horrendous crimes, even at a young age of 14. I can't imagine the mothers and fathers feeling knowing their child was brutally taken away from them by a monster. Not to mention a publishing company was willing to advertise the murders book and make profit from his crimes, that is crazy to me and honestly makes me mad. My heart goes to the victims and their family.
The publishing company the man has to live out on singapore and is too scared to do interviews. The man who wrote Tojyo Vice did a podcast about people disappearing in Japan. And the publisher also released a book on how to kill and methods of suicide. Also they have an anime that's on hulu, Tatani Galaxy
He is free to roam? It's so scary! What's the point of working hard andcatching that killer and leaving him free? And he is still doesn't regret what he has done? That's scary
Hello, from Ukraine! I would like to ask you to deep into the murder of Saltanat (Kazakhstan). Her husband (Ex-Minister of Economy of Kazakhstan) killed her. They are now trying to cover up this case, due to the status of a murderer. Many suspect that the court has been bribed. There are many published video materials. This case need an international attention! Best wishes and thank you for your hard work! If you would need any assistance in gathering material and translation , I would love to help!
@@teehee9079justice was served although personally not enough for me, that monster who unalived saltanat was sentenced to 24 years in prison. I don’t know mucho further than that but I really really hope he doesn’t get parole sooner. Her brother is active about the case and the sentencing on ig
This is proof that some are just born evil.I'm 13, and now I'm even more afraid of kids my age and even more adults, and the fact that he can profit off that book is sickening, the Japanese government need to do better, he should be closely monitored not freely walking around, i cant imagine what the victims family feel.
Hey kid, first of all, you shouldn't be watching this. Now, that you did I request you to be alert in every situation and protect yourself. I hope you have a marvelous life ahead and of course, stay safe
You are obviously a very empathetic and bright 13 year old. Yes the world is challenging and will always have struggles, that’s just life and facts. The thing is, it’s how you face the challenges and how you choose to live your life. Hopefully with respect, honesty, compassion and understanding and you can make the world a beautiful place for people around you and yourself. ❤don’t be fearful of people, just be aware and cautious. There are so many wonderful people out there too. 😊
Love Stephanie's story telling and how she's covering all these cases to let more people know about what's going on in the world. These stories are really heart breaking and traumatic and how the world is . But Stephanie is making it better. She's so much more than just a UA-camr . A therapist a bestie a storyteller friend literal therapy.❤
no remorse, the bragging with the book, the animal abuse. yet all that for 6 years??? and even after the release. NO REMORSE. Not to mention they tried to HIDE his identity???
So happy to get a notification. Was worried about Stephanie when Sunday nothing was posted. Glad you are well. We all completely understand if you ever need a break from bringing us these episodes. You are hands down my favorite. Your empathy for the vitims and their families, the detailed descriptions of everything, no other creator comes close in comparison. Thank you for all of you and your team's uard work . This is one of the most disturbing cases I have heard. It is hard to fathom he is free now and served minimal time, and a publishing company allowed him to profit from the horrible murders he committed. My heart breaks for what these poor, innocent children and animals endured from this monster.
My heart is out for the family of his victims. It wasn't highlighted as much probably to respect their privacy but the amount of pain they must've been through, especially knowing the suspect is now a free man- profiting off his crime, its atrocious
i'm not going to lie, i'm pretty desensitized to true crime cases similar to this so i've never felt uncomfortable enough to shelve the video, but this one i just... i can't finish it. the part with the in depth telling of the cat just made me cry, the description of what that poor baby looked like i think finally broke me. rest in peace to his victims, both human and not, and i hope they've found peace in whatever afterlife they have been sent to.
That part started and I jumped a few minutes ahead. It breaks me when animal abuse (especially towards cats) is mentioned. Wish there were chapters or timestamps for these topics.
I really appreciate that you give the warnings in the beginning as I'm very sensitive to animal cruelty, thanks Stephanie! :) I'm sure I can find another episode to listen to without putting myself through too much.
The way I gasped in excitement and disbelief that you posted like omg there’s another video for me to watch as if I didn’t know there was going to be a new vid this week. Keep it up Stephanie!! your work is amazing and we can all see how much you put into each one. Thank you for being the calming presence we can all turn to and tune in. You look stunning in pink, it fits your skin complexion so well along with that cute top !!
As a parent myself My heart dropped. Its scary to think that you thought you were having lovely moments with your grandson and here he comes with his mind thinking "oh yeah that make sense people are just vegetables, theyre not even a person anymore" and yet he knows his soul is rotten, scary to the core. How do we even raise normal kind children to become reliable adults . He was loved by his parents, loved by his grandma, how can you love your kid so much and they still end up as monster 😭
“Not related to the story”: I love the way he listens to you and he’s so deep into everything you’re saying ❤ Besides, he’s got such a beautiful voice. Love both of you guys ❤
@@annazwep The Tell Tale Heart. The storyteller loses his mind and kills an elderly man with a white, milky eye because he hates the way the eye looks at him.
Not going to lie I wasn’t prepared to hear it, the lack of warning really messed me up. I began to fast forward, but by then I was already screaming. I know there was a trigger warning at the beginning of the video, I just wish there was one before she started describing in exact detail, what he did to the cat.
I’ve never left a comment under one of Stephanie’s videos but I needed to comment on this case. This is absolutely horrific, I cant even describe how disturbed I am. I had to stop watching for a moment to calm myself because of how shaken up I was.
This is nuts! They don’t track former offenders? So if he is married, his wife and kids don’t know who she married? Kids learning values from their dad? What? Mind blown…
Your drive, work ethic, and volition to create informative and creative works of art is refreshing. Your teams ability to create a whole picture is pivotal to reach the many. You tell their their stories in such an ethical and relatable way that It brings us together, binded by empathy. It is really beautiful. You give them back a bit of their true voice in this world... so that we may remember them not as horror filled headlines... but fellow humans.... it helps us find the pulse.
I couldn't agree more. She and her team really have a way of painting the picture of who people were and telling their stories with so much care and respect.
this is the only true crime video that has ever made me cry. my heart goes out to juns family, as well as the other victims families. this is terrifying to me. every aspect of this video makes me fear having children.
the fact that i am only 9 minutes into the video and im already so invested just proves how much stephanie puts effort into these videos-i love her videos so so much
There is a case more disturbing than this, it’s called the nth rooms. Stephanie has 2 videos dedicated to that case. It’s that bad haha. I still haven’t recovered from that case. You should watch it.
You know what, I've listened to like 10 of these videos in the background while playing something, I'm gonna subscribe! The research that goes into these is insane
Him having a psychotic break and schiztophrenic hallucinations is very rare. Anti- social personality disorders usually dont even manifest in full like that until older teenage years to through their twenties. Killing/torturing animals at a young age like 9 is an extremely common manifesting though, they should've known that he was exhibiting signs of pchycopathy.
@@lordtette In kids under 18, because they cannot diagnose Anti-social personality disorders until 18, they will be diagnosed temporarily with "Conduct disorder" which is essentially just a place holder diagnoses that is a general way of saying they largely suspect them to have ASPD, but they're too young to be fully diagnosed for sure.
How absolutely heartbreaking. You're so elegant Stephanie! Such a respectful person when it comes to tell these very sad and horendous cases. I agree,6 years is NOTHING for what he did!!
Countrys with low crime rates are interesting cause whenever something does happen its always the most heinous thing youve ever seen

"this can't get any worse"
**gets worse**
The part where it went from him washing his friend’s hair to pushing the head up to the ceiling shocked me😭I did not expect that.
Bro same 😭
Ikr it came outta nowhere
Foe shizzle right, and the fact that he had a future to where he wrote a book. If he was in Cali, I’m sure he would have been dealt with. A creep by every sense of the word
I was surprised that I got it right that he is the killer since Steph mentioned him being observant of his surroundings while walking from school. It's weird, but probably because I got used to Steph's way of narrating the stories...there will always be a surprising twist.
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?"
I don't care that he is a kid, six years is a ridiculous sentence especially for someone this dangerous.
Right because if a child can act like this imagine them as an adult
Is it possible that he was sent to a mental hospital after his sentence ended? That would make sense.
Well, that's the Japanese court for you. I bet the judges themselves are delinquents in their hearts - thus let him off easy. Most judges are a bunch of clowns 🤡
@@morgainebrigid Unfortunately, even with that, he cannot restore his sanity. I could always understand traumas, issues, etc. but the fact he was able to admit of having a good childhood and good life...
@@morgainebrigidAt least he was released from medical juvenile detention center because he was considered rehabilitated. He will not be admitted to a mental hospital in the future unless he develops some kind of mental problem.
This left me speechless, not to mention the fact he killed 2 people, AND attempted murder, AND wrote a goddamn book, almost BRAGGING about murder is sickening. How is he just left to live freely? AND killed animals in his free time, how tf does that not scream CRAZY!
It's Japan. They literally had a celebrity murderer/cannibal walking around like he did nothing. He was never punished and also wrote a book about his crime. 😭
Seems like Japan never learns when it comes to law and justice.
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.
@@lmrstrllYou read my mind!I was seeing a pattern as to how the most heinous japanese killers who are also n€crophiliacs seem to love writing about their murders in details and sell the book without any shame. They get the audacity because the japanese government isn't able to stop them from being "authors".
@@basicallyno17220
@@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.

Right???! And then there are people who do way more "normal" crimes and get a way too high sentence. Heck, sometimes there are innocent people who get a life or death sentence. With each and every day passing I am getting more confused and disgusted by the justice system. And the idea of him having kids frightens me very much.

@@Jaya-zn7vryou ok?
hearing about jun’s parents no longer able to use their living room coffee table due to there being a puzzle he has yet to finish hurt me so much my head hurts. i pray the most peaceful of rest for these children along with the others who carried on their lives having had to encounter this monster. this is a brutally heart wrenching case. i genuinely cannot fathom how there can be any laws whatsoever to protect minor killers. if you killed someone, you killed someone, and you have to serve your time regardless of your age.
this man is actually a danger to society, how is he free to roam?? every time with these cases i always question the court for giving these criminals minimum time (esp for minors)
I believe Paris Bennet will be up for parole not too far away. Although his family doesn't live here anymore he's from my hometown. I'm hoping his mother stays hidden from him so as to protect her younger child.
I just looked it up and he'll be up for parole in 2027 but if he serves the maximum 40 year sentence he was given then he'll be out in 2047.
Many countries laws about minors are pretty outdated, like I know for Korea and Japan they’re more lenient on minors because when these laws were created (1940ish) kids didn’t always get an education and were illiterate and so they would let them get away with smaller crimes (although this sadly includes murder, murder isn’t small though so it’s absurd) because they felt like it would be an injustice to the kids because they “didn’t know any better”
Paris Bennet scares the absolute crap out of me. He is gonna go after his mother for sure. She needs to hide. He killed his sister just to hurt her. I can’t believe they are going to let him out knowing all they do about him.
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.
I was an exchange student living in Kyoto (about 1 hour away by train) when this occurred. Everyone was pretty freaked out and my host family instructed me to come STRAIGHT home after school each day. We were all in shock when we discovered it was just a kid that had committed this horrible crime.
How did you spend the rest of the day there? Did days eventually loosen up the fear or did you spend all of your time there on high alert?
@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.

@@iz_ray2479thats nasty 💀
@iz_ray2479 that's unusual, but it's also not the same as torturing or killing an animal.
@@iz_ray2479 there is a diffrence between kids having a curiosity with dead things than actually killing an animal
@@iz_ray2479???
Look, i can understand killing a bug or two, or poking at an already dead animal's corpse out of curiosity, but when there's a pattern where the child is torturing and killing animals, that's not something they're likely to grow out of. There's a spectrum of "playing with dead animals"
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!
Technically he’s not a serial killer - yet/that we know of.
It kinda makes sense tho. We get inspired by people we like and who have similar interest or hobbies as us. If anyone is inspired from these psychopaths, they were one to begin with
There is a saying: "Villains are not born, they are made", but knowing this boy's story, I can't help but wonder if this applies to him too...

Its so disgusting
This is like the second story I hear from Japan where a serial killer gets to enjoy freedom, write books and make money off of them. It's kind of crazy.
What's up with killers writing books?? One, who takes the life of another, SHOULD NOT be able to profit of that very same unforgivable act. And the fact is whenever they write books, it always become best seller. It's as morally atrocious as carving lengthy paragraphs on the victims' bodies and getting praised. The amount of pain the families feel is unimaginable. Shame.
Notes: I've been studying and observing your guys' responses, and I feel as your comments opened my perspective, so I'll take into consideration elements which may cause contradictions when making statements such as my previous comment.
In Australia, you are not allowed to profit off of a crime. I didn't finish listening to the video as it was really making me feel awful. I was surprised reading the comments that he was making money from what he'd done..
In recent years, only a couple to be honest, I’ve heard at sentencing they are not allowed to profit from their story. A good example was Darrell brooks. I’m pretty sure there was a large amount of restitution in his case but she said if that somehow was paid he was not to profit ever.
I feel like legally, the book should be immediately be free. Or all his profits are forcibly funneled ti the families of his victims

Fun fuct: The offender, 少年A, called himself as 酒鬼薔薇 聖斗(Sakakibara Seito), Sakakibara is a usual Japanese family name but he writes it in different letters with the same sounds, 酒(Saka) means alcohol, 鬼(Ki) means demon, 薔薇(Bara) means roses, it's a typical word play that the teens would come up with. 聖斗 is also the word play, it sounds like "Saint" and 聖(Sei) actually means Saint in Japanese.
Alcohol, devil, roses? What does all of that mean though?
@@hamdiyazid200 Means nothing. You know it's kind of those things kids do just because. In Japan or not, kids draw skull on his notebook just because, write down the word "satan" just because, etc. I assume Alcohol and Demon are those kinda things(just because), if you are gonna write your "killer name", you might just wanna write it with the double meaning with "those kind of words", you know? And Roses are maybe Japanese specific. You can see the 薔薇(Rose) letter right? It is well known among Japanese, kids or adults, that the Kanji letters for Roses are so complex and difficult, so much so you can impress someone just by writing it.

When I watch your videos, I usually keep a straight face hearing about the cases you share, the occasional shock and sadness, but not for this video the entire video I was just shocked and had to pause multiple times. Thats how crazy this case is.
I had to pause too… my goodness 😭
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.
Child psychopaths are too often overlooked.
Red flags are definitely there early on.
Sounds like they learned from mom. Some parents simply shouldn't...
Sounds like the parents have something to do with those behavior.
Also met such a child in my internship in primary school. He was 9 years old, a pathological liar, no concept of authority nothing could scare him. He made his own rules mostly we were not able to stop him (except other children were in danger). He brought knives to school threatening children. Asking in a naive childish manner if he could push his school buddy into the train when we were having an excursion. The most shocking about this: theres noting we could do if his parents wouldnt corporate! His mom even was a doctor, still not taking measures... im often thinking about what hes doing now ...
Its so scary to see evil in children!
My heart broke about Jun....that poor little boy excited to see turtles gets murdered gruesomely by someone who he thought he could trust.....he couldnt even live a long life and it breaks my heart that his body was used horribly after death...😭😭😫 1:05:54

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.
poor jun, being kiIIed over having something someone doesn’t is so messed up
Never in my life have i ever been so revolted by any human being. Like how messed up in the head does someone have to be to be attracted to his grandma? 🤮 And also to be a deranged serial killer? Some people are truly evil.
I think the worst part is that he probably didnt feel any sort of sexual attraction to his grandma up until she died
rip freud you would have been absolutely elated by shinchiro azuma
the way that she never runs out of stories tells a lot about society
This is honestly the only true crime video that has ever made me throw up. I’ve never had such a physical reaction to a case before. Truly so vile and sickening. Just pure evil.

@@catherinethecatlike the junior high schools felt it more than the senior high schools. I remember having discussions with my friends about it and pretty much concluded that this guy was f*cked in the head. There wasn’t much detail released at the time since he was a minor but it just made the crime more unbelievable.
それが怖いです...
I don’t think “punishment” should be decided by age.
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.
When you do that type of stuff, you forfeit your childhood and the more gentle judgement that comes with it.
Unfortunately, minors cannot yet comprehend the consequences caused by their actions :/
@@heheing Yes they absolutely can. Especially if the offense is severe, they just don’t care BECAUSE they know that they can get away with little to no consequences.
We were all teenagers once, we knew wright from wrong. Murder, R*pe, severe bullying. We knew that those thing were wrong.
I understand if the offense is smaller, but the bigger the crime, the more aware they are of how bad what they are doing is.
That way of thinking is what keeps minor unpunished.
@@omarn4830 minors cannot understand whether they’re being groomed, agreeing to be in sexual relationships with adults because they “love” them, etc. That’s why there are laws to protect children because they cannot grasp the gravity of their situation. There’s a reason why parents/guardians get to make pretty much all decisions for them and stay under their care until 18yo
@@heheing That is true for VICTIMS and NOT the assailant. That’s what those laws are for.
While both can be true at once, it doesn’t take away from the fact that the crime was done.
“just imagine everyone around you is a vegetable,” bro the way my blood ran cold when i heard that.
That fact that he is free blows my mind 😳
makes me so upset, someone this twisted and monstrous should never be able to be free.
It’s wild to think someone so young could be this calculated and sadistic. I know morbid curiosity can go many ways but this deep is so wild. This is an absolutely horrific case. Very well read and detailed though, thank you Stephanie and the team❤️
6 years. He's a very dangerous person. He checked all of the serial killer boxes, and there's no therapy that fixes that. He does not see people as having value or agency. He enjoys killing. This is terrifying. His total disregard for how a detailed *murder* book would affect the victims' families says it all. He does not feel remorse. He's not capable of feeling bad about what he's done. He's probably quite pleased he's free. He's older and better trained to cover what he intends to do.
yeah, nature sometimes makes mistakes, and they're usually gruesome
Until he gets caught again
I wonder if it rly started as the gma saying to view the world as vegetables.. bc clearly….
too disappointing honestly, basically we're waiting for another innocent victim or even more just for them to lock him up again for good. Can't believe their justice system.
he's out free, excuse me????????????????
i was SO clueless til the “he lifted his friends severed head” MY JAW DROPPED SO FAR DOWN BRU. OH MY GOODNESS.
As soon as a new person was introduced and the "vegetable" part was said I was suspicious and then that suspicion was confirmed
I’m only four minutes in and learning that it was a eleven year old boy broke my heart. I thought it would be about the teacher instead. how could someone be this cruel? no one deserves such a death,poor boy.
I cannot imagine the trauma of finding a head on fence!
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!
How do you get over seeing something like that?

@@leannebritton5656I don't think you ever really get "over" trauma. It never really goes away. You can just lessen the impact it has over you by trying to work through your feelings over it.
isn't it Wild how we All have these memories to contend with. More or less. You Never know what someone else is carrying around!
He was killing slugs and cats for years before the incident with his grandma, so that incident didn’t cause his issues. It was just a new aspect of it.
This man is out there killing people unless he has died himself. That sort of psychopathy isn’t cured. The public won’t be safe unless he is locked up (in prison or a mental hospital).
I agree,but the incident with his grandma is what probably established the connection between death and sexual arousal. Linking the 2 acts.
Honestly, the way you respectfully recount stories is incredible. You/'re informative, without losing the gentleness and kindness that we need to hear these stories without cringing away. Hopefully, your diligent efforts lead to better policing, better detection and better sentencing for these kind of people. Thank you for your hard work
Moms know when their kids are giving serial killer vibes, the red flags pop up and she should have intervened immediately after hearing the rumors about the killing of cats
Easier said than done. Most mothers can't and won't do anything because it's their child. A woman's brain is literally re-wired when they give birth. Some become utterly devoted. It's why there are so many mothers who will do anything for their kid until the end, even if they do terrible things.
@g.d.2059 why do we still have crappy moms if a woman's brain can be rewired just like that once they give birth?
@@g.d.2059 Part of doing anything for your child is getting them help when they need it. The culture of shame around mental illness is the problem. It has nothing to do with the devotion because if getting mental care was acceptable socially (especially in SE asian countries) getting them therapy would be part of that devotion.
@@g.d.2059"easier said then done" indeed, but its NOT impossibly hard. humans chose to become weak in situations like that because they are egoistic as fuck.
@@prettyevil6662000 you are right
47:08 once, but it was unintentional. I was around 8 years old and at some old women's apartment (a family friend igs). 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.
Omg that is so messed up, you must have felt so guilty :c
so messed up of the old woman to maje a child do that
I’m so sorry you had to endure that
That’s terrible of her, I’m sorry you had to go through that .
Oh god, that old woman was so horrible to have you "feed" them salt. Because as a child of course you wouldn't know. So casually evil.
Poor slugs, they're so hated by people, yet all they do is munch on leaves and and mind their own business
He has been sick since such a young age yet his family chose to ignore him instead of seeking help,
this is the reality in the 90's where mental illness is a myth.
His family didn't even watch over him throughout his time in the juvenile center and afterwards. Such a severe lack of sense of responsibility.
Him thinking about his grandma while exploring himself is crazy to me. I had to pause this oh my god.
and the description of how he splooged from the massage wand and also in severed head of his friend made me feel ill.
I had to pause too it was really bad. This was the first time i had to take a break watching.
As I said can't help what you like its just how it is even no matter how sickening it can be

I love watching your videos and falling asleep, can you please say some pleasant stories also so that i don’t get nightmares!!😅
I was too afraid to even take a cigarette at school from a friend when I was 14, I don’t understand how he has the nerve to hide a body in his ceiling. Would you not be constantly terrified that your parents would find it?? I think his desire to kill was stronger than his human instinct fear of getting caught. That’s terrifying to be honest. That he has the nerve. It’s just incredibly abhorrent how confident he was.
I think that his mental state checked out, so it's not even a thought to them, and probably had a fixation and focus (I mean that sh*t about watching twisted crimes of serial killers...or was that when he was even older? Not sure? But I think he's checked out and something is SERIOUSLY not functioning...I really feel something had occured or f*cked with the way he thinks. if not a physical abuse or SA, maybe a mental abuse of sorts 🤷♀️ Not interested in him and finding him as like a "Tortured" or "Complex person" that's bs. But Interested in how wanting to know what created this❔️what set this forth so intensely, with no going back. There HAD to have been a break. I will say at that young age, when he lost his grandma think that was a little bit in the mix of what was set in motion.
I love my cat so fucking much, like if she sneezes I’m over to her side petting her like poor baby (I am that cat mom but she has been such a joy to my life the past almost 2 years) so that cat description broke me and possibly made my cat like cuddles even less because I grabbed her crying hugging her 😂
I just finished crying over that part while glancing at one of my cats sleeping peacefully on the couch. 😭
what a horrible excuse for a human.
@@clashwithwordshe is, what’s worse is Japan needs to change their laws but personally I don’t know how much this would help either because I’m from the US and well. He deserved way worse and the fact he’s out and about is horrifying to say the least. I remember watching an episode of Law and order I think? And this child murdered another guys kid but lied about it and he actually ended up killing the kid who killed his son because he knew the kid was not remorseful nor was he going to stop. It’s a sad reality but I don’t think these killers can be cured. I def wish we knew more about the brain and why they do what they do but sadly we can’t
omg same
I fast forwarded thru that bc I knew I couldn’t handle it.
I am also a cat lover and my cat is 18 and when I heard that part it made me sick to my stomach 😢
The fact he wasn't bullied or anything makes me think he is crazy , { Condolences to the family and friends of his victims } ; the way he wrote about himself made it easy to understand his perspective on dis-liking people and gauge his level of crazy . The judicial system keeps dropping the ball . One deffinetly flew over the coco's nest
From the description, he likely had antisocial personality disorder. In a medical context, antisocial doesn't mean introverted, like you dont have it just because you dont like parties or something. No, its characterized by a disconnect and sometimes disdain for other people. Like, people beyond, perhaps, a chosen few dont matter to you at all, and it spirals downward into having no empathy for things people (unfortunately) see as lesser, like animals.
The way he described hating Jun's eyes reminded me of Dazai Osamu's book "No Longer Human," where he writes (about himself, as the main character is a stand in for him) that the worst thing he can think of is to be "known." And how when a child sees through his mask of being the class clown, he feels intense hatred and fear towards him.
I theorize that sufferers of Antisocial Personality Disorder have a common trait in this fear or hatred of being known. Or something similar, related to self-image.
This was essentially confirmed by Shinichiro himself at 1:07:01, where he describes hating the reflection of himself he saw in Jun's eyes.
Now, it IS important to note that not all people with this disorder become murderers, but its common enough that proper diagnosis and treatment is important. Despite their harder starting point, these kids CAN be taught empathy.
He also likely has a psychotic disorder of some sort. His hallucinations of his Grandmother, and of hearing Jun talk out of his severed head? Having conversations with him? Im not sure what that could be, but psychosis is more of a symptom of other disorders than a disorder on its own.
The guy behind the camera has great commentary and it's well timed. It really adds a lot imo. The script hooks are so well done and I like that you try to keep opinions out to some degree. Glad I found this channel recently! Keep educating the world🙂

I listened to it already on podcasts but I’m genuinely so scared of him like I could never imagine that happening. Please stay safe and have a good day/night!
A small comfort to find in this horrific video is that slugs do not feel pain. Sadly that does not go for all the other precious lives he tortured. Thank you for humanising victims, you’re by far the only one that makes the true horror of these cases painfully apparent. Stephanie, you’re wonderful! ❤
Edit: yes slugs have responses to external stimulation with their nervous systems but they do not have the part of the brain/electrical impulses that cause us to feel pain. Thank you for the likes ♥️
How do you know? They seem to react to being touched, and they can make noise when they're dissolved. IDC tho I have a phobia of them lol I'd just rather not even interact w them
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).
Yeah they do tho, they have a central nervous system and feel a response from the environment
@@anonimus8375 I completely agree with you on that one. 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.
My heart broke when you talked about jun’s family. The poor kid didn’t deserve to have his life taken from him ☹️
A serial killers fascination with themselves, never ceases to amaze me.Their like a blackhole for attention, and they make even less sense. Even to themselves. Just mindless prattling to appear "complex" and "tortured", but it's just as Stephanie said they are usually just empty, vapid, and vain.
He was given 6 years and did not even served full, plus, he benifited from writing a book about his horrible crimes!? Get me off of this earth
I was brushing my teeth while watching this and the part about the “thick white liquid” made me choke😭😭
I don’t think criminal protection will ever make sense. I think the law should always stand alongside with public safety. Transparency is the best method for safety.
This isn’t just a story. This is terrifying. Horrifying.
Exactly !! The fact that sick convicted criminals are given a chance to redeem themselves and the victims have to live in constant fear of their lives is absolutely crazy.
In summary: the most boring person in the world wreaks havoc and writes a book to be special-and STILL somehow fails. Jun was the special one.

I stumbled upon your channel accidentally and never left. I think the thing that I appreciate most about you and your channel is the trigger warnings you leave in the beginning of each case. Thank you for helping others keep themselves safe and healthy. Thank you for all the work you do to research all the episodes you put out, and thank you for one of my favorite things to listen to while I do things around the house. You’re one of my few podcasts I listen to regularly ❤️
It's been a long time since I noticed scheduled entertainment. 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.
Me too! I didn't see a Sunday, then Monday on the other channel. I was beginning to worry. Already listened to the podcast but need this for sleep!
Same I was wondering if she's ok 😢
I thought I had gotten things confused or missed a notification. I kept checking back. I look forward to Stephanie's storytelling so much, I don't subscribe to cable and her programming is the first time in years I've looked forward to things posted on the regular. I was worried! But I don't want our worry to put pressure on her; if she ever needs a break for mental health or for personal reasons, everyone deserves that.
Edit: I guess we'll have to miss this one. My dog passed away last Monday and I'm hugely sensitive to animal abuse. I'd rather take the warning than be a puddle of tears.
My friend and I were kinda freaking out cuz there was no Sunday video or Monday videos which she posts at times :( I’m still sad since there’s nothing new for me to hear

When Stephanie mentioned Seito, first I thought she was referring to the victims, not the killer himself, my heart dropped so fast..Its scary to realize anyone can be evil, and commit horrendous crimes, even at a young age of 14. I can't imagine the mothers and fathers feeling knowing their child was brutally taken away from them by a monster. Not to mention a publishing company was willing to advertise the murders book and make profit from his crimes, that is crazy to me and honestly makes me mad. My heart goes to the victims and their family.
The publishing company the man has to live out on singapore and is too scared to do interviews. The man who wrote Tojyo Vice did a podcast about people disappearing in Japan. And the publisher also released a book on how to kill and methods of suicide.
Also they have an anime that's on hulu, Tatani Galaxy
He is free to roam? It's so scary! What's the point of working hard andcatching that killer and leaving him free? And he is still doesn't regret what he has done? That's scary

This is proof that some are just born evil.I'm 13, and now I'm even more afraid of kids my age and even more adults, and the fact that he can profit off that book is sickening, the Japanese government need to do better, he should be closely monitored not freely walking around, i cant imagine what the victims family feel.

no remorse, the bragging with the book, the animal abuse. yet all that for 6 years??? and even after the release. NO REMORSE. Not to mention they tried to HIDE his identity???
So happy to get a notification. Was worried about Stephanie when Sunday nothing was posted. Glad you are well. We all completely understand if you ever need a break from bringing us these episodes. You are hands down my favorite. Your empathy for the vitims and their families, the detailed descriptions of everything, no other creator comes close in comparison. Thank you for all of you and your team's uard work . This is one of the most disturbing cases I have heard. It is hard to fathom he is free now and served minimal time, and a publishing company allowed him to profit from the horrible murders he committed. My heart breaks for what these poor, innocent children and animals endured from this monster.
My heart is out for the family of his victims. It wasn't highlighted as much probably to respect their privacy but the amount of pain they must've been through, especially knowing the suspect is now a free man- profiting off his crime, its atrocious
i'm not going to lie, i'm pretty desensitized to true crime cases similar to this so i've never felt uncomfortable enough to shelve the video, but this one i just... i can't finish it. the part with the in depth telling of the cat just made me cry, the description of what that poor baby looked like i think finally broke me. rest in peace to his victims, both human and not, and i hope they've found peace in whatever afterlife they have been sent to.
The poor cat, when it was described it sounds like my cat and imagining something like that happening to him breaks my heart
omg right? it made wanna vomit☹️
That part started and I jumped a few minutes ahead. It breaks me when animal abuse (especially towards cats) is mentioned.
Wish there were chapters or timestamps for these topics.
I almost cried 😒😔
For real, I literally skipped that part because I can't hear it and I don't want to.

the fact that i am only 9 minutes into the video and im already so invested just proves how much stephanie puts effort into these videos-i love her videos so so much
I've watched almost all the videos on this channel and this one....genuinely made my stomach churn more than any of the others
There is a case more disturbing than this, it’s called the nth rooms. Stephanie has 2 videos dedicated to that case. It’s that bad haha. I still haven’t recovered from that case. You should watch it.
I only found Stephanie's channels 3 days ago and i have been binge watching since. I like the random voice in the background as well.
Thats her husband lol!!😭
@@mata-x9s I just seen that video yesterday.
You know what, I've listened to like 10 of these videos in the background while playing something, I'm gonna subscribe! The research that goes into these is insane
Him having a psychotic break and schiztophrenic hallucinations is very rare. Anti- social personality disorders usually dont even manifest in full like that until older teenage years to through their twenties. Killing/torturing animals at a young age like 9 is an extremely common manifesting though, they should've known that he was exhibiting signs of pchycopathy.
at a young age i think they might diagnose tge child with oppositional defiance disorder(sp?) or ODD
@@lordtette In kids under 18, because they cannot diagnose Anti-social personality disorders until 18, they will be diagnosed temporarily with "Conduct disorder" which is essentially just a place holder diagnoses that is a general way of saying they largely suspect them to have ASPD, but they're too young to be fully diagnosed for sure.
How absolutely heartbreaking. You're so elegant Stephanie! Such a respectful person when it comes to tell these very sad and horendous cases. I agree,6 years is NOTHING for what he did!!
