How come even in manga it's gotta be the one Black guy that dies first, though?
I see how it is.

This looks really interesting. So now we have the "origin story" of the obsessive Captain Ahab.

I am reminded of a film I saw several times in my childhood in the 1960s. It was a documentary of New England whaling, possibly filmed in the 1930s. Men were shown going out in boats to throw harpoons, and the practice of snubbing the rope on a wooden capstan to control friction, along with throwing buckets of water to keep it from burning, was shown. I recall the narrator describing the period of holding the tethered whale as it dragged the small boats as a "Nantucket sleigh ride". The first appearance of blood from the whale's spout was the "bloody rose" or some other colorful name.

It may have been the only time when the technology of motion pictures overlapped with the last vestiges of human-thrown whaling harpoons.
