Duel between Vigilantes, huh

That's what happens when you're anonymous.

I think the case they news team in this comic is reference is this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miryang_gang_rape

"In a television interview, a parent of one of the offenders stated, "Why should we feel sorry for the victim's family? Why don't you consider our suffering? Who can resist temptation when girls are trying to seduce boys? They should have taught their daughters how to behave in order to avoid this kind of accident!"

 

[Kendama]

@kafkajoycefranz Yes. Our translators have told us many, perhaps most of the crimes in this series take after real, famous criminal cases in Korea. That might be why the series is quite popular there. Some Koreans I've talked with have remarked that the series - and the cases - make them feel uncomfortable or their blood boil at the injustice.

Honestly, there isn't much ground for Vigilante intervention when the news guy say 'there wasn't much evidence'. Like, you can't condemn people to prison without evidence just because the thing they are accused of piss you off. That's not an injustice, that's just a basic principle.

The IRL case for that was way more clear cut since multiple parents basicaly admitted their kids were guilty.

This mimic vigilante is quite ballsy to go for so many at once. He's gonna need a bigger moat

Well, isn't this whole case a conundrum.

Interesting how the protagonist's MO actually doesn't include women for some reason. Because of his mother, maybe?

 

[Kendama]

My suspicion is that the copycat vigilante is Ji-young's biological brother, perhaps even a twin.

Chapter 1 says his mother was beaten to death in front of her children, so I'm guessing the siblings were raised by different families or sent to separate orphanages.

So far, the copycat's morality isn't incompatible with Ji-young's, so they may even become allies. It will be even more interesting if they are identical twins.

@Kendama Sorry mate, but I'll have to shoot your theory down. The raw says in front of her child. It was a pretty interesting theory nontheless.

@Tersione

Interesting how the protagonist's MO actually doesn't include women for some reason.

Yeah I was wondering about that too. (maybe it hit too close to home because I was raped by a woman but) that kinda pissed me off lol. I was like, is this just one of those "East Asian sexism" things or is it an actual plot reason. Because fuck those girls who took part in that shit, if vigilante gonna go after rapists he should go after all rapists lol.

 

[Matthewkeen]

nice.

 

[ilikeanime]

...girl were mssing for 2 years and people still weren't looking and able to find them? Did they give up after the first month r soemthing assuming they were either dead or sold off to another country?

 

[Reishin]

Good to see there's another vigilante. MC not punishing female criminals was disappointing.

Fist of Justice doesn't care about gender.

 

[NO-ONE-1]

Maybe the vigilante doesn't kill women because he saw his mother get killed

 

[Kendama]

Maybe the vigilante doesn't kill women because he saw his mother get killed

And he doesn't go after minors because he himself was one when he saw his mother get killed. So he may have a psychological block against harming women and minors as it hits too close to home.
