Robin did nothing wrong.
Robin f---ed everyone up. Literally every girl orphan that trusted him, and financially every friend he knew.Robin did nothing wrong.
I feel ya, mate! Had to re-read it from the very beginning twice to this point, shit, even made some notes on who's who and that's that...Man, my memory's just too shit nowadays to properly follow this story.
That's Ran actually! She's part of Haruki's little friend group and is cooking the barbecue in Chapter 8 (she also has a crush on Haruki).Oh wow, the twist we all saw was coming. I already know something terrible will happen to the replacement sister as she isn't seen when the siblings first meet Robin in the city. So I wonder how bad it's going to be. Also, hopefully, Robin doesn't do anything to her.
The genius of Robin is that he always gave them a choice , so he didn't actually break any law.Robin f---ed everyone up. Literally every girl orphan that trusted him, and financially every friend he knew.
This is the very definition of a person deserving death penalty. He must be cut off for the sake of you know, future children.
Placing that line over levelled rubble is what this medium is all about.Now this is real equality!
Tengoku is the type of story that can only be done in a manga, which is one of the reasons I appreciate it so much. You can't really leave the kind of visual clues and other details in a purely text narrative.Placing that line over levelled rubble is what this medium is all about.
Also, notice panel showing coffins, where the coffins have run out and they're simply rolling corpses in blankets. Subtle details like that really elevate this.
I'm wondering if Robin was actually resentful and jealous of Haruki for having an alive sister to be with, which can explain some of his behavior, both with murdering Kiriko, and the sexual assault.Keep in mind Robin was already possibly date raping Haruki's sister at the orphanage judging by the memory of his sister that he awakened somehow before Maru came and beat the shit out of Robin after that whole... situation.
It's a bit more detailed in the anime cause you can actually hear the person speaking, which is Robin.
What he says is, "... Since Haruki's a deep sleeper." I think you can guess what's probably happening there, especially when you consider he's not anywhere in frame and likely somewhere behind her.
Oh thank the fucking lord she’s fine I really was not looking forward to inevitable weird behavior Robin developsThat's Ran actually! She's part of Haruki's little friend group and is cooking the barbecue in Chapter 8 (she also has a crush on Haruki).
Demonic bargain, huh.The genius of Robin is that he always gave them a choice , so he didn't actually break any law.
No one would have balls to go to forests filled with maneaters just to make a coffin.Placing that line over levelled rubble is what this medium is all about.

The text too ... "snow piling up in the middle of May." It means nuclear winter, and the whole country has been too bombed by the weapons of mass destruction it made the weather similar to Ice Age.Placing that line over levelled rubble is what this medium is all about.

Also, damn, even amongst the 5th generation only very few survived. Forget the 1st, 2nd, 3th, and especially the 4th generation - they are all likely killed based on the flashbacks, unable to survive the wasteland, except for Kona, who should be looking like a 50 year old man right now.Damn, so it was Robin who shot Kiriko.
It's always the people you most suspect.
Long story short... everyone in the past died. They cannot live in the wasteland after being raised in The Institute.Man, my memory's just too shit nowadays to properly follow this story.
The first part it feels like you are absolutely right. That in Robin's messed up mind, he sees losing a sibling as the worst kind of pain or sin he either wants to spare her the pain or punish her with w mercy killing.Is... this going to end up being some kind of weird mercy killing thing? Like, he wanted to spare her the same sort of pain he went through from the loss of a sibling, and is fucking bonkers so gunshot to the head was his solution.
I'm still not sure how any of this contextualizes the weird psychological torture mirror rape scene from way back. These flashbacks seem like they've been trying to humanize Robin to some extent, but so far they've only managed to make that scene seem even more bizarre than it already did, and I'm at a loss as to how they would bridge the gap, assuming they're even going to try.
This. I don't think the author had this mapped out from the beginning. I feel like this is being made up as we go along, mostly for shock value.I'm still not sure how any of this contextualizes the weird psychological torture mirror rape scene from way back.
