In anime involving wars and abilities, there are usually the existence of villains. They are in opposition to the positive characters, and they are hated by people who like decent and protagonists when they appear. The villains generally have strong strength and great ambitions. Most of them have no evil, and the world outlook and values are also very different from ordinary people.
There are many classic villains in anime, such as the gin in “Detective Conan”, the night god in “Death Note”, the blue dye in “Death”, and the multi-Franming brother in “One Piece” and many more. For these villains, people often maintain different opinions. Some people think that they are damn, while others think that they are excusable for doing bad things, and therefore worthy of sympathy. In fact, the villains have won the love of many people because of their unique charm that is completely different from the protagonist. But no matter how the author or the readers wash the white villains, the evil things they do are their indelible mark.
So let’s debate today and use factual arguments to discuss: “Is the actor really damn?”
The square view: the villain must die!
One of the arguments
The bad things are done, the villains are not dead!
Whether in film and television or in novels, the existence of villains has always been anti-human and anti-social. Most of the villains’ lifelong careers are to rule the earth, or they want to let the earth fall into war forever, while others directly want to destroy human society. The ferocious villains are not only bloodthirsty, they do not put ordinary humans in their eyes. For them, human beings kill this creature, but it is only a lower animal. At the same time, they often have no mercy when fighting against positive characters, and some even afflict people.
If such a villain does not die, what is the significance of the existence of a decent character? Even if the villain has a remorse, it cannot erase the crimes he has committed before. In the human society, people will be sanctioned by law, and the villains will naturally bear the consequences of doing evil. For example, in the “Joyful Adventures of JOJO”, the big villain Dior Blanche, the “Wu Zhi Niu” in “Naruto Ninja”, the “Big in the Complex” and so on. These characters mean killing individuals like playing, how can you let your people do whatever they want in this world?
Second argument
The villains all like to assemble their hands and develop terrorist organizations, which seriously disrupts public order.
In countless animates, the villains are decent lifelong opponents, and their existence more or less sets off the true, good and beautiful of the protagonist. Moreover, because the targets of the villains are so large that they are difficult to achieve, they tend to assemble people who follow them to accomplish their goals. Most of the people who follow him are not good people, and most of them are criminals. Powerful villains can even make their own kingdoms, and in their own kingdoms, they are kings and do not do evil, making ordinary residents miserable and causing many innocent deaths.
Moreover, the purpose of the villains is to fight against the decent characters and kill the good people who are truly kind and have a sense of justice. Therefore, the villain is extremely cruel in any point. For those who want to live in peace, it is really not enough for the villains to die.
The third argument
The anti-death is politically correct, except evil is good.
No matter what works, the failure of the villains and the upholding of justice are the subjects that will never change. In real life, we also don’t like to see the bad guys escape the legal sanctions. The reason why the bad guys are bad people is that what they do is not for the world. Therefore, getting anime that is popular among teenagers is a problem that cannot be ignored. If the villain in a cartoon is done with a bad thing, it will be a very incorrect guide for the young people who have not yet formed the correct values.
We all know that many people like villains because they can do whatever they want and be strong enough to be free from anything. If he really does not get the sanctions he deserves, will it make teenagers feel that the villains are cool, so they want to be villains? For some deceitful teenagers, will they imitate what the villains in the anime do? Although it is a small anime, we can’t ignore the various problems contained in it. How many bear children are hurt because they imitate the plot in anime? This is also a common problem in real life. Therefore, the evil will surely be defeated by justice, and the development of the villain must be unshakable.
Anti-party view: the villain does not have to die!
One of the arguments
The villains are actually very miserable. They also have a reason to become a villain. We don’t have to kill them.
Nowadays, the traditional face-lifting evil villains have been tired of people’s attention. Nowadays, the character of the villains has become a problem that many authors will seriously consider. As we all know, human beings are actually a very complex creature. What you see on the surface is probably not the real side. The so-called “knowing that people know each other and not knowing the heart” is the same on the villains. Therefore, the villain characters appearing in today’s works also present a lot of different personalities. They are stupid, somewhat naive and paranoid, and somewhat forbearing and painful.
In order to erect a rich character, the villain will also be added by the author to some not very tall settings. For example, childhood misery, family life is unfortunate, malicious training by bad guys, and so on. Therefore, it may not be their original intention that the villains become villains. They were once a naive and kind person, but they were wiped out by the environment for the last goodness. Moreover, there are many cold-blooded machines that are not murderous, and they also have joys, sorrows, and pains. In fact, they are only a little bit more radical in their thinking, so there is no need to kill them.
Second argument
Some villains are in the gray area between black and white, not necessarily dead.
In today’s villain camp, some villains are not purely dark attributes. Most of them wander between black and white, and they are in the gray area all the year round, so it is difficult to define whether the crimes they committed should really end with death. For example, the “Yuanyuan Lin” in “The Headless Knights” is also a typical representative. And in some anime, the characters who appear as villains do not seem to do anything that is irritating, but exist as the opposite of the protagonist, such as the Rockets debut in “Pokémon”, “The King of Nautical” Clown Bucky and so on.
Therefore, it is very unfair to measure a villain role simply by saying that “he is a villain, so he must die.” After all, there are quite a few villains who are really kind, and others are directly misled into the path of the villains. Therefore, it is not impossible to forgive.
The third argument
If the villains have repented hearts, we should give them a chance.
The whitewashing villains have been the plots that have appeared in many animes. Most of these whitewashed villains have been forced to embark on the path of villains because of their respective difficulties. After a series of confrontation and interaction with the protagonist, they often realize that what they are doing is actually wrong, and then they are on the right path under the guidance of the protagonist, and it is likely to become directly in the later stage. Members of the protagonist camp help the protagonist save the world or defeat the next villain.
In these works, the villains generally do not make too serious crimes against society. And when everyone sees that he has become the reason for the villains to go on the road to no return, they often end up with sympathy for the villains. As the saying goes, “The prodigal son will not change the gold.” Since the villains have sincerely repented, why can’t we give them a chance? It is necessary to know that the role that can become a villain is always in a certain field with a very high talent and strength, so that if a good person really changes the former, it will undoubtedly bring benefits to the society. Their value is very huge, and it is a pity to lose.
So for today’s debate, “Is it really damn?” What do you think differently? Do you support the positive or negative views? I welcome you to leave an idea in the comment area!
