We're going to make this a weekly mini-contest where we ask something related to Anime. Read the rules carefully.
The results of Ask Anime #2 will be announced post payout after we sift through your entries. Now for this week's question:
Ask Anime Question of the Week:
Tell us which character had justifiable motivations to oppose the protagonist.
Rules:
- Comment your answer to the weekly question to this post as an entry.
- Must be in English but you can attach a section for a different language too as long as there is an English section that conveys the same thought.
- No need to make a post about the contest or use a specific tag for your post. You can still post about this but it serves no purpose in picking a winner.
- Tag someone who you think might be interested in joining (optional) but if that person participates in the event, there's a bonus reward IF either of you wins. In cases where multiple users tag the same person, we'll count only the user that mentioned that person first as evidenced by the time stamp on the blockchain.
- Comments must be below 4 sentences for the actual entry. There's no need to comment 4 sentences for an entry, it's just a max number to avoid the entries becoming long form posts. If you have conversations in the comment section, make sure it's done on a separate comment/reply section.
- Response must not be AI generated. While this can sometimes be a challenge to detect and prove, it's not worth trying because you're being asked to share in your own words.
- Only 1 winner will be picked. Criteria for judging will not be disclosed but the closest hint available is: put some thought into your answer within the limited number of sentences available.
Notes: Think less of this as a contest and more of an avenue to share your thoughts and get more exposure within the community. We'll adapt the mechanics of the contest depending on the outcome of the previous contests so expect rules can change in the future.
Prize: The winner will receive 2 Hive.
If you won and tagged another user that participated in the mini-contest, you get 3 Hive and the other person you tagged gets 1 Hive.
If the person you tagged won, they get 3 Hive and you get 1 Hive for tagging them along.
One of my favorite is Pain againts Naruto in terms of idealism of peace leading to the moment where Naruto is rendered speechless and unable to answer when Pain described the Cycle of Hatred on him. Ideologically, I think he has the complete victory morally in that episode even though he has questionable moral actions. The symbolism of what is meant to live that's full of suffering and hate, being born into feeling the fear and sadness when growing up from the war, witnessing the violence and death, accumulating the hate all those years that he doesn't want to see the suffering he endured happen to any other person.
That episode hit harder, knowing how divided the world is which we relate in our generation right now.
You're right!
Yes, it's actually correct and I loved the fight between the two. It's amazing
Itachi Uchiha from Naruto is undoubtedly a villain who killed his entire clan, and later it is known that he did so because he received orders from the leaders of Konoha to prevent the coup d'état and a war. He did all this to protect Sasuke, his brother who has the sharingan.
Curiously, later on, karma is responsible for causing his own brother to defeat him in a battle, becoming mortally ill, and then finding out about the sacrifice his brother made for his people.
A really nice story.
I invite @albiro2050 to join this contest.
Of the recent Anime that I have seen the villain with whom I sympathized the most was Majima from the anime Lycoris Recoil, at first you may think that he is simply a lunatic terrorist obsessed with chaos (something similar to the Joker who only wants to see chaos and destruction) but in the end he ends up having a simple ideal but something just.
at the end of all Majima just wanted to end with the control and manipulation of the people by the group in charge of watching everything from the shadows, he wanted to generate chaos and madness but so that the characters knew the whole truth, as they were just puppets of the group that regulated everything and created a false peace and security by eliminating everyone, in the end I thought his idea of ending the fantasy and show the whole reality to the people so there could be chaos was fair.
I would say Light Yagami from death note.
After finding the notebook that kills the person whose name written on it, he then follows his wicked sense of justice with the ultimate goal of cleansing the world with evil doers - killing the world’s dangerous criminal.
Although he had all the good intentions, Light became corrupted with too much power where he started using the book for his own personal gains. But in the end, the worldwide crime rate was down to 70% thanks to his work.
hmmm.. point take. with statistics to boot.
I completely agree with you, Light had so much potential to become a detective and do things under the law, but he just decided that using the deathnote was the permanent way of doing justice.
There would be a lot of people who'll call Pain or Madara from Naruto but my choice is a bit of the charts.
Ochi Fukushi from Bungui stray Dogs.
His aspiration to stop country and world hate due to what he saw in the war made both me the viewer and the protagonist opposing him think
I invite @omokhafue to join this contest ✨
Thinking of a witty response to this and finding none in my head
I accept the invite?
I'm glad you found me interesting enough to be invited?🥲
Hell,yes.❤️🩹
I wonder which villian you'll choose
The first person that came to my head was Eren Jaeger. To be honest, there are a lot of villains the choose from,I just chose the one I'm really educated in.
Attack on Titan was the story of Mikasa written in Eren's POV and told by Armin. That explains why at the beginning of its first season,we hear older Armin's voice.
Now,some would say Eren turned evil because he swore he'd wipe away all titans the day his mother was killed by one. I think the main reason why people saw him as evil was because they had no idea what he was going through. Yes,indeed everyone has a choice to either do evil or do good but sometimes no matter how much good you do in this world,it still remains the way it is, a very cruel place,this is something we all saw in the story of Attack on Titan. Eren wanted the world better, safer. He wanted a safe place for the people he loved. Now,yes we all know he used some extreme methods and killed over billions of the world's population but he didn't really have a choice. Plus,he said he was sorry🥹🕊️
