Bro just dropped the hardest nihilism video and thought we wouldn't notice 💀💀🥶🔥
Thanks!!
Underated AF
nobody noticed
@@tsyrendambaev9675 tsyren dambaev 💯💯💯✌️👌 truly it's tsyrening time
@@ravi8166 truly it's my time no cap🥶🥶🥶 don't worry your anime super sayin kurama bankai glow up will come inside you anytime soon no shii bro ong 🔥🔥
The nihilism in me disappearing after i see a F in my math test
Fr
wait shouldnt it appear when you get the F? (cuz you no more have self worth and meaning of your existance?)
If you are really nihilistic, you wouldn't care about having an F in math because it's only a single word that is nothing compared to the universe.
"because Johan was such a beautiful name" gave me chills 🥶
Your way of explanation is absolutely banger. Keep it up.
Johan had people who showed their kindness and affection but he denied to recognize it.
Thank you so much, really appreciated the comment ^^
yup
Yea but like later in the story tho he actually felt all those emotions from the people he interacted with and felt pure compassion Over life and he completely had a complete mental breakdown in the library room.
@@weebgraphy
I’m going to be honest, your explanation is perfect but it lacks some general knowledge.
Johan never became the monster, he was born a monster. The one who experienced trauma was Anna. Johan actually is a lot more generous. The entire story is about Johan trying to erase all the trauma that Anna went through. That’s why he kills every that ever knew him.
During his quest he learnt that life wasn’t equal,
And that death was the only thing that humans were equal in.
He became a terrible monster for the sake for Anna.
@@ahadullahalimi9332 he experianced trauma , remember in final ep he says his mother was a monster because he valued one childs life over another when he handed him to take them to the orphanage
I love how people has come to analyze psychology of humanity such as this. I absolutely love learning more about how people think and their overall view of the world and why.
That’s Philosophy for ya
amazing right
same I like seeing other perspectives than my own
Johan is right there no point life is meaningless we all die and will be forgetton unless we are hitler
@@hailey480 hitler will also be forgotten
I clicked at the preview thinking that Johan Liebert is some German nihilist philosopher💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
💀
Bro you gotta watch the anime then only you can witness the nihilist Yohan Liebert
The difference between a monster and a hero. Both didn't get any love. The Monster was filled with hatred because of that. He said, "I will give everyone the same suffering that I went through."
The Hero, also didn't get any love. But he said, " I will make sure no else would go through the suffering that I have been through."
Underrated comment
Both are delusional..
They must understand that the only thing they can actually control is themselves and try to do their best. Their arrogance lies in their thinking that they can actually change the world for good or bad.
@@panchammehta8974 of course they do villian hurts innocent people and kill a lot of them and change the world while the heroes save the world and change the world not only in fictional world but in real world too like Hitler killed and changed the world by bringing WWII but the countries came together fought and stopped him and saved the world and by bringing peace changed the world again.
What a vague delusional comment….
That's kinda corny
I have a few small remarks:
It’s unfair to say that Johan has never experienced love and care at all. When twins escaped from “Three Frogs” they met people who adopted them and treated them decently like parents. But Johan murdered them. Because even in that young age Johan’s mind had already bean set up to destroy everything and everybody around him (like in Bonaparta’s tale about nameless monster)
It also should be taken into account that by the time Johan entered kinderheim 511, he had already been a hard-hearted cruel creature who eventually destroyed the whole kinderheim with almost all people there. He already had been kind of a result of an experiment that was carried out there. Kinderheim just completely messed up his memories with Anna’s ones and erased his personality and individuality, strengthening that nihilism in him.
exactly! all this philosophy stuff doesn't justify the murders at all.
Great comment
bean
while you are right that he was exposed to some type of love i would argue that the love he got was not enough to convict him the right way , i would argue that unlike others he had a really good foundations in his philosophy that would nt let him be shaked by even any form of love , Johan is chaos he is not the anti christ just the anti everything .
@@fourien937
In fact, I would say that his love for Nina is a twisted love, more of an obsession, and when a love is an obsession, then it is not a true love.
The one of the few who really understood who and what Johan liebert is, great assessment and analysing. You did best
Thanks man, really appreciated the comment :)
Guys, you should read "Fathers and Sons" by Ivan Turgenev, as Russian, I can say that it had a lot of impact in people's minds. In the book you will encounter a guy called Bazarov who is a nihilist. The story itself, and the characters, make the whole story good.
(Write down in the comms, if you read it)
Interesting, I will definitely check that out. Thanks for the recommendation Izi
Its not a very accurate depiction of the russian nihilist movement though
@@unorthodoxstrider3847 that's the point. In those times(1859), nihilism started to rise slowly. Ivan Turgenev showed nihilism in different perspectives using characters like:Bazarov, Arkadiy, Kukshina and etc. I can supplement my answer, but,Unorthodox Strider, I really want to hear your opinion on this book, and how did you found out about Fathers and Sons
@@izii2bizii I find the book to be in good intentions but it was simply ineffective in fact many people actually aimed to be like the nihilist character themselves (Arkády and Yevgény) which makes it seem like it all backfired which resulted in the nihilist movement growing. The nihilists would then Fulfill their final goal in March 1st 1881 when Four nihilists put themselves into position; two were able to launch their bombs, the second catching both the Tsar and Ignatei Grinevitski, who threw the bomb, both of whom died. After that the Russian Nihilist movement ended and grew influential to people across the globe. So overall I think it was a futile attempt at anti nihilism. I found it out about it while I was studying the history of the russian nihilists themselves, and curious of to why Nihilism has so many different forms and found out there is a movement dedicated to it that made the Philosophy more popular I then Read every book relating to the movement.
@@unorthodoxstrider3847 wow, I haven't heard about an accident that was in 1st March, so, thanks! Good to learn something. I'm quite surprised, that there is some people who are interested in Russia and it's history. I know, and do agree, about the fact that people tried to copy Yevgény or Arkàdy and how it haven't played well in people's minds.
Thanks for interest in our history! 🤝
Something which eludes me about nihilism is the claim “everything is meaningless”; yet, in making this claim, nihilism itself creates meaning.
It's a paradox in itself. The core of the belief of 'not believing in anything' is paradoxically contradicting. If someone 'beliefs' in nothingness, they are definitely 'believing' in something.
Not exactly. Nihilism is a process, not a belief. It is the cleaning of the slate so that new values can be born. Nihilism isn't meant to be permanent, it's meant to set the belief structures of old ablaze. Once this is done, the next step that many "so called" nihilists do not take, is to turn inward, and ask who they truly are at their core. This leads to one achieving what is known as a "state of nothingness" or munoken. Accepting reality in full, they have a true appreciation for everything in the universe. They appreciate it because they have no reason to the contrary. Their ultimate end is not to destroy, it is to awaken.
@@leonhardeuler3773 Void or absence of "something"? There is apparently a something, hence nothingness is nearly entirely disproven, however it still vaguely manifests as the sufficient absence of a complete/fundamental knowledge about that somethingness. It's a lot to process...
Not really. The claim that everything is meaningless doesn't suggest anything outside of that.
@@weebgraphy This is absurd as suggesting that saying a room has nothing means that room has something
"why in this universe where billions of other stars and planets exist we are only aware of ourself" hits hard
If he were in a world full of planets with life, what would he say? But hey, it's not like it matters.
@@Joyscp999 Beautiful, i wish i could explore it all, but in the end it has no meaning to it.
@@MRUNKNOWN-zn9pt nothing will matter
@@Joyscp999 that's the beauty of it. Either you can follow the logic and get into darkness. Or use the power of this understanding to fuel your potential.
@@MRUNKNOWN-zn9pt infinite potential?
I wish i wouldn't feel so attracted to this idea.
I am a 21 year old guy who since my first memories from childhood, all the way through adolescence up until now, can't recall one moment where i haven't felt complete internal void. For some reason (that i, alone, can't comprehend), i've never been able to understand how people can live automatically the way they do. I've been observing and questioning since my childhood how people are able to perform things like social interaction, to feel happy with themselves without a particular reason and be charismatic automatically, to take joy out of normal things like making friends and creating a bond with someone they've never met before, to have plans and ambitions and goals. To think like that as a child and not having anyone to make me talk about those questions i had, i have a feeling it took me right where i am right now. No friends, no feeling of love, the complete lack of happiness and boredom on a daily basis, not to mention the lack of capacity to express emotions in the most normal situations.
I do try to do normal things that i imagine can put me in a position where i can provide for myself in the future, to pay rent and be able to survive. Like right now i'm in college studying Computer Science, but everyday i think about the meaning of all this, and i can't seem to find an answer that makes me comfortable.
I am 100% rational about everything, every detail needs to be precise and have a meaning, if it's not then i can't be comfortable and deal with it, whatever it is. And for some reason i can't see how normal things that people do, that life tells you to do, makes sense.
None of that makes sense to me.
I've had responsability before, i've worked to help bringing food to the table at home, i've provided for my mother and sister when my father died, working at a company where i completely failed during 10 months (that experience was so traumatic to me) but even during that moment where i was providing for my family, when it should make sense because i had a reason to be doing what i was doing, even then i couldn't find a meaning to all of that.
Just void.
Complete void...
This video was incredible, well written, directed and narrated.
Whoever you are, my most sincere thank you.
Tomorrow will be better !?
It’s almost like we shouldn’t look for an answer on the outside and focus within isn’t it? Like if we need to be content with just ourselves and from there our life changes.
I thought I was the only one that felt this way. Like being stuck in purgatory
I thought I was the only one that felt this way. Like being stuck in purgatory
Yeah man, sometimes it feels like existing is pointless. Like having desires sounds futile at some point for some people. What is the point of living if death awaits everyone?
Life is indeed tough for most of us. Not everyone has the privilege to be truly free. Something could be holding you back. Hang in there. You are young, you still have that gift of time. Allow yourself to do more and to learn something new. Something you truly want and enjoy. If there's really nothing that you desire, just try and go do something. It doesn't have to be phenomenal and drastic. Eat good food, work on your health and fitness. I reckon you could be unsatisfied with your degree. Could it be you really want to switch careers? I agree with the other person in the comments -- usually, the answer you're looking for is *within you.*
"Just keep on learning, little by little. If you're empty, then you can take in anything. If you want to be reborn, then it's in your best interest to become empty." -- quote from Makoto Yukimura's _Vinland Saga_
All the best.
I think you should do a longer version of this video with a little more detail because it's great and I wish we could go deeper into these topics.
Yeah I should make the video a bit more detailed in the future, thanks for the comment! ^^
@@weebgraphy It will be a work of art. I really loved this video, it was one of the few that showed the real nature of the Monster and his deep existential intelligence.
@@Myk4my This comment means so much to me! It has made my day better ^^
I'll try my very best, thank you once again
I suggest you to read Nieteszche, to understand more about nihilism. This video serves as a good stepping stone
@@ponnamadithyasai6645 Yeah!
As a person who completely understood Monster, I approve of this video 🗿
The fact that you highlighted "ok" in "broken" 10:41 is such a proof to the love of detail
I had never experienced something like "Monster" ..there are master pieces in manga manhwa anime but what I have felt the overwhelming emotion by watching monster , I have never encountered it .
Your video is great 👍
Monster is definitely one of the greatest pieces ever written in Anime/Manga medium. Maybe some can argue it to be one of the greatest pieces in the modern time too and not just limited to anime only.
Also, Thank you for the comment, Victory V :)
Spectacular video! I’ve watched it a few times and it made me want to rewatch the series again.
We need moreeee!!!! Amazing video, calming voice, deep thoughts !
God, I've watched so many analytical/ breakdown videos of Monster but this has to be the best one yet. Great job!! 👍👍👍 Keep making content like these on AOT, FMAB or anything really.....
I have seen that you made 3 videos but this one got the most views. Please keep doing such videos, you are great at it
The video is really great man one of the best videos i ever wached keep up the good work
this is a well made documentary video bro, keep it up!
amazing video i was hooked on from the beginning to the end
Bro this video is so gothic I don’t know why keep up bro
Wow thanks youtube for this recommendation amazing video mate . It has been a long time for me to reflect on this story , thanx for this nostalgia.
I get this nihilism feeling, whenever i go to sleep like what is our purpose, what happens after we die and so on
Johan is always mentioned as evil or monster when series shows otherwise. You cant understand The Monster or Johan as character without understanding the tragedy of his story, the nameless world. Very good video ^^.
You've gained a new subscriber. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Doe, really appreciated it
It should also be said that Johan not only brings out the worst in people, he also gives them hope and can make certain people come to their senses, like the mother of Suk, the young Czech policeman.
although his objectives are not those
@@Joyscp999 Did Johan have a specific objective?
@@NS-bk6nt none in specific, beyond the fact that he wants to erase the past from his own existence, basically making sure that there is no trace of what he was, or at least that's what he assumes, because in reality most of his past events are more about Nina, than his.
@@Joyscp999 Johan is such a mysterious person that you never know what his true intentions are, but the impact and influence he has on others, making them pale and expect the worst, is truly incredible.
@@NS-bk6nt Despite his thinking that nothing matters, and that life is not something special, he is still intelligent
Love your work bro
This video was the best of all the videos I have seen till date because it gave me goosebumps.......... ❄️
HOW ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED BROTHER YOU DESERVE MORE NO NO WAYYY MORE SUBS
Thanks man, really appreciated the comment :) I wish one day that happens hahaha ^^
I have some suggestions , you can make character analysis videos on Mr.Makishima from Psycho Pass , Friend from 20th century Boys , Miyamoto Musashi from Vagabond or Askeladd from Vinland saga
Bonus : If you would like to make videos on live action shows as well, then Hannibal Lecter from Hannibal (2014) would be great.
Thanks Zectro for the suggestions, I'll be adding them to my list now. Would make videos about them in the future :)
The thing about nihilism is even if life is meaningless, even If no one showed any love towards to you, You still have you to hold to close. You can choose what you can be with the circumstances you have dealt with and the easier choice is to succumb to death
Then there are also times when death is the only choice
It's all about the perspectives
my husband for 4 years are hinilism fan since 7th grade he never go church and since he never felt comfort so i didnt change him all his belonging taught in lives . he just be with me and same journey we face
struggle, ldr moment, and conflict
but still together until today.
i realize not to change person whoever they are its how they were born some quotes randomly i scroll at facebook and said,
monsters are not born
monsters were made by people who was evil and want love and never get it. sadly its tragic.
Congratulations 🎉🎉. You got a new subscriber 😊

heyy, nice video dude!!! keep up the good work
Thanks! Your video was the reason why I was so intrigued by the topic! You've done an Amazing work as well!
I wanted someone to explain Nihilism in a better way as i consider myself (Not completely cause i do have feelings) a Nihilist and this video is a masterpiece at it. Truly amazing, You earned a subscriber, stranger.
Basically a person who thinks life is meaningless and other things like morals beliefs or society standards doesn't matter to them l
Bruh it felt like as if Johan Liebert was the maker of this video 😮 AMAZING!!
This video is so underrated i wish it'll get more views in future
Thank you so much Kazuma, it really makes me happy to see everyone being so supportive ^^

Man you're the best, like the best!
Thank you so much bro
Thanks while i watching your video . I created my own philosophy that compassion, love can make me and others happy
Bro finally someone talks about Johan's nihilism
Brother We want Part 2 This is masterpiece 👁️
I guess in my opinion Johan loved anna like hear me out first when he said in kinderheim"I don't want to forget anna she is the only one i have" and then the scene where he was playing with her as a kid and asked her which hand has chestnut and told her she will always be right no matter what also when he told anna to shoot him as a kid at that time he thought that he was at red mansion so bonaparte is after him so if he died anna will live free from the monster(bonaparte)also when he killed baby's people who captured Anna, as baby said they were going to do something bad to her if Johan didn't showed up so he killed them and Anna escaped also the last part when he destroyed red mansion and people related to it was obvious why he did that if he was selfish he would not have cared whether Anna went to red mansion or not, also Anna said" when i told him my red mansion event he was crying bitterly like it was his fault"and she also recalled"when Johan told me to shoot him his shoulders was sunk and he looked in pain".So in my opinion he was capable of love as one of his dreams was to see end of the world with Anna his way of showing love was twisted cause he was not normal but he did loved her and i believe he had some affection for Tenma too as he killed those doctors just cause tenma said they deserve to die.
Yes indeed, the only person Johan truly loved and Cared for was his 'other part' which was his sister. I totally agreed with your point too Ayesha.
He indeed has a bit complicated relationship with Tenma too but he rather wanted Tenma to feel mostly miserable because another part of his goal was to make sure every people that Tenma knew or had known before were gradually being targeted as well. I think in one of the instances he had even mentioned that Johan would like to wipe out every one Tenma knows of until no one remembers or calls his name to make him suffer the same fate that Johan does. Part of the reason could be because Johan really wanted to die at the time he was shot by Anna (The sister who he holds dare the most) and that Johan was not really too happy about the decision that Tenma has made. Indeed it's my speculation and analysis based upon what I've understood from the narrative or to what I can remember.
Anyways, Thank you for your time and comment :D Really appreciated it!
@@weebgraphy I loved ur analysis too such a beautifull video tbh yea ur prespective is totally right too and I guess Johan always provoked Tenma to kill him cause he never wanted to be saved u are right and I really appreciate ur beautifull video u are a really good youtuber
@@-Headlesshorseman That's really sweet of you, thanks! ^^
@@weebgraphy Welcome and stay blessed and remember u are very talented
I totally agree with your view, johan was never a nihilist he was suicidal more than nihilistic, he cared too much about his sister his mother and tenma to be called nihilistic..
Bro it was Epic the most awesome there is 🖤🥶
bro this is one of the best videos i've ever seen
Thank you, Muichiro ^^ I'm glad that you've liked it.
Amazing video 🖤
I have chills down my spine
The thinking in this video is so sharp.
I have escaped through nihilism yet I am trying to look back to it
Great Video Bro, you should try stoicism video too
man this is great , i'll wait for guts story
You ever do a Sonny Boy ep.? It seems like you’d really do something good, I know there are plenty of analyses but I could never get tired of them.

Great video subbed!
Thank you Orgil ^^
Happy Birthday bro 😳
i fell so deep into this is perfection
You deserve more subs bro
Thanks Daniel ^^
The main thing I disagree with about nihilism is that life doesn't have any meaning, but I think it's wrong because I think life has a meaning that's journey, and by journey, I mean a series of changes or progress toward changes, and this meaning of life is applicable to all forms of life, from single-cellular to multicellular organisms, and this meaning of life isn't created but observed and concluded, and that's why I disagree with nihilism.
As Soren Kierkegaard has put it, “Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced”
🥶🥶🥶Banger, keep it up love u video.
Thank you so muchhhh!!! It means a lot!
Thank you for this meal
after watching the whole video once again… munch munch chump chump gobble gobble.. gulp
bro you are insane i loved this video nice work man
Thank you so much bro ^^ Really appreciated it
fantastic video bro
Thanks J ^^ Appreciated it
I'm sorry but "experienced the horror of not having a name"
It's js way too funnyy
Fr i know he was trying to say something like "experienced the horror of not knowing who he was" but he choose to say that 💀
Man you nailed it I mean brooo!😌✨
Thanks man ^^ That's nice of you.
personally saying life is meaningless seem more like giving it a meaning. believing in nothing is believing in something
finally world as it is u will get ur answer.
You gained a subscriber;))
Loved the video.
I'd suggest making an analysis of Eren Yeager or Floch Forster from Attack on Titan.
Thanks Percy, I'll be looking forward to make a video related to this in the future 🙌
@@weebgraphy cheers!
Hey just watched ur video I watched the show 3 months ago but there's still a question was johan a good boy before his mother gave one of her child or its coz of that pic book he read and then his mother did that and it was his first example to choose that path or start thinking like that or he was born evil or something else
And i want u to make video on miyamoto musashi ( vagabond )
Best explanation of nihilism ❤
Bruh too good!
hits hard
Yup perfect summary this is definitely the philosophy johan believed throughout his whole life to a child and into a full grown adult.
Can anyone tell me what kind of editing effect is that in this video's thumbnail?
Ur voice accent just makes the vid better
haha :D Thanks man
Awesome
Whats the music name used at act-1
What's the name of the Backgroundmusic after 7:15? it's so grimly soothing...
Even after watching all the series it looks like i know nothing about johan ,his backstory or his philosophy and his action
I have a question
I saw this nameless monster story somewhere but it wasn't the Monster anime it was another anime
Can anyone tell me which one?
This is real stuff....that's what should be more of in youtube❤❤❤.
Amazing, now I need to read it
Thanks Brendon, Enjoy reading the manga! ^^
@@weebgraphy thanks, I will
I'mma watch this again
I love this show (and the manga)
Make more of this if you can.
funny how he isn't the only antagonist treating bout this theme.
monster his anime once it is reanimated the internet will die
Whats The misic sources, the one played when entering 'Act 3'
It's actually a sample from the original Monster Opening Song.
Song Name - Grain
Man it was really good
Thank you so much for watching !!!! ^^
