Bůh Míru (Naoki Urasawa's Monster)



Hi guys. Today I am going to write about anime and monsters… The story is a picture book written by Franz Bonaparta under the pen name Klaus Poppe (anime Monster).

Buh Míru
The God of peace

He god of peace is always busy. He is too busy to look in a mirror and blows his horn every day. The god of peace horn makes everyone happy. The god of peace is always busy. E is too busy to look in the mirror and scatters magical water. The magical water creates green mountains, ripens crops, and makes flower gardens grow. The god of peace is always busy. He is too busy to look in a mirror and gives everyone a name. “Your name is Otto”, “Your name is Hans”, “Your name es Thomas”, “Your name is Johan”. Johan gave his hat to the dog of peace as a gift in return. The god was very happy. Because he anted to see himself wearing the hat, he stood in front of a mirror for the first time. However, what he saw in the mirror was a demon. From inside the mirror, the demon spoke to him.
“I am you and you are me”. Oh no! No one can live in peace with a demon like this! What should I do?
So the troubled god…

Anime: Episode 56 "The never ending journey".

The story is for children and no single explanation. So, I am just sharing my point of view.
I believe that the god (demon) of peace is an analogy, because represents a human and the beast in all of us.
Every person, no matter how good, will have a bad part on the inside. Very deeply hidden, but it’s there, waiting to be found.
Johan (other monster) gives the hat to god for to see your true self and observe the reality. He is not good. He is not god.
The problem is once known that part, at any time you can go out and cause chaos.
Therefore, the gender identity formation is more important, ensure that children can strike a balance between their impulses, needs and desires and values… The balance between good and evil.

BONUS: I don’t think he died (God of peace), I think he survived and became human. Although it’s against the wishes of Johan.

That’s it.
