Tragic deaths in manga
Fans of manga know that they are full of dark and deep themes and that not everything is always happy. Among other things, there are deaths in manga and their anime adaptations that will have affected more than one person. And while Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is back on Netflix and ADN, we wanted to retrace the deaths that affected us the most, this type of work.
Please note that this article is full of SPOILERS ON : Fullmetal Alchemist, death Note, Naruto, The chainsaw man, Attack on Titan AND The Kingdoms of Ruin.
Fullmetal Alchemist : three deaths for the price of one
Whether you watched the first anime Fullmetal Alchemist or the second, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, you had to go through several difficult steps to deal with. Starting with the death of Nina Tucker, a young girl to whom the Elric brothers become fond at the beginning of the work. Unfortunately, she is the victim of her father who uses her for an experiment. She then transforms it in the chimera when we meet her with her dog Alexander. In shock, the two boys will be unable to do anything for her. A terrible moment for fans, but not the last.
In fact, it is impossible not to mention it too the death of Maes Hughes, an understanding character and a caring father. Qualities that make his death even more tragic. For the Elric brothers, who found true support in him, but also for Winry, who learned of his death late and was devastated. We owe his death to Envy, who in addition to killing him, did so by taking on the guise of a trusted person, Second Lieutenant Ross. The loss of him is as significant as its consequences about Colonel Mustangthat during his funeral he will pretend it’s raining to hide his tears.
Finally, our very personal opinion concerns Lust. More specifically the version of the first adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist. Inside, the antagonist is more complex and ambiguous. And even though she’s on the side of the Homunculus, we can’t help but feel empathy for her. Because he is not fundamentally bad and will gradually question himself.
In there death Note
death Note it is a somewhat particular manga since its main character has all the appearances of an antagonist. Yagami Light he is a sociopathic high school student who has no qualms about killing people. First the criminals, then those who will try to stop him, thanks to a magical notebook called “Death Note”. If its owner writes a person’s name on it, that person dies.
death Note takes an even more perverse turn as Light Yagami, gifted with above-average intelligence, begins to help the police capture the perpetrator of these mysterious crimes: therefore himself. Among the investigators is the original L, a talented detective which we will soon appreciate. We’re immediately torn between wanting to see how far Light will go and whether L can stop him. We were inevitably shocked when this main character was killed by Rem, the god of death who sacrificed himself to save Misa. A crazy moment, which completely relaunches the manga and anime.
Hymen inside The chainsaw man
The chainsaw man It’s a particularly violent anime. We follow Denji, who after being killed, is brought back to life by a chainsaw dog demon who had become his best friend. The two are now one and Denji has exceptional abilities in fighting demons. He thus becomes part of a team of Devil Huntersdirected by Makima and composed by Aki Hayakawa, the rowdy Power, and the funny Hymeno.
The latter is as funny as it is touching, both for the fact that he will give Denji his first kiss and for the secret love he has for Aki. We saw an important character in her The chainsaw man. It is, but that didn’t stop the author, Tatsuki Fujimoto, from deleting it. She he sacrifices himself to save Akiand suddenly disappears without a trace during a remarkable sequence.
Ymir and Sacha enter Attack on Titan
There are a lot of characters who die Attack on Titan, but some are more important to us than others. This is the case of two characters. First of all Ymirbecause even though it is rather minor in the story, it remains very captivating once his past is revealed. And while we don’t see her death, we learn that she allowed herself to be devoured in order to pass on the Jaw Titan.
So, we couldn’t miss the death of Sasha. A young woman emblematic of Attack on Titan almost from the start of the works. She is funny, greedy, stubborn and part (with Ymir) of our favorite characters. And while we don’t support her involvement in Mahr’s attack, seeing her hit by Gaby remains one of the shocking moments of this manga.
Chloe from the beginning of The Kingdoms of Ruin
The Kingdoms of Ruin (available on Crunchyroll) quickly tests our emotions. From the first episode, we witness the execution of Chloe, a witch who takes in a young human, Adonis, to make him her disciple. But in this world where witches are hunted by humans, the two have spent their lives on the run. Until the day they are captured and new technology manages to block Chloe’s powers.
It only takes Chloé a few moments to do it become attached to her and immediately we feel like Adonis looking at her with love. We cannot help but feel her own sadness when she is arrested, humiliated with her clothes torn, before being hit in the head and be beheaded. It is all the more unpleasant that, shortly before his death, he was about to tell Adonis that he loves …
We could have also added to this list Jiraiya inside Naruto, which is often mentioned as one of the most tragic deaths in manga. But also Itachialways inside NarutoOR Ace in A piece.
