Irezumi (1966)
"See how fascinating this painting is? A beauty trampling the corpses of countless men at her feet, feasting on their flesh and blood to grow and prosper. Tell me... don't you think she resembles you?"

sorry if you don't want to talk more on this but (if we won't get them in the story) do you think you could explain the drpg character's backstories/trauma
YEAH OFC!!! I can do the backstories of the deceased characters since they won’t have any more scenes in canon so here!!
Spoilers and CW for abuse
JEANNE DUVAL:
Born in Nice, France to two loving parents, Jeanne was a child obsessed with the arts. This passion was fueled by her older sister Amélie, who was a concert pianist with an equal love for it.
When Jeanne was nine, they started critiquing paintings as a hobby and quickly gained traction for it. When she was fourteen, she was world renowned.
At fourteen, she critiqued a famously hard to please painter’s work, and he didn’t take it kindly. His father, a mafia boss, hired an assassin to kill Jeanne’s family, leaving them orphaned.
She was raised in an orphanage until the age of seventeen. But that didn’t stop them from continuing their career as an art critic. They continued their work and moved into other mediums when, at sixteen, they discovered a content creator online and fell in love with his videos. He was far too young for her (and far too male wink wink), so her feelings for him were purely platonic, but she adored his creations.
At seventeen, Hope’s Peak University reached out and offered her a place at their school as the Ultimate Art Critic, which they graciously accepted.
Her birthday is April 8th
HANA SAKURAI:
Hana Sakurai lived a happy life for most of her childhood. She had two loving parents and a younger brother she adored. Her mother was a renowned past Ultimate Student (specifically the Junior Ultimate Historian) who loved to indulge in her children’s passions.
When Hana was ten, her parents divorced and her father moved to America. That was the last time she ever saw him. Her mother, Meiko, took on the task of raising Hana and her brother Asahi alone.
Hana developed a special interest in track and field at eleven, and she was extraordinarily good at it. She trained and trained until eventually she was the fastest human being on the planet.
When Hana was fifteen, a friend of hers was murdered. She was upset by the event, and it triggered a change in her mental state. She developed Intermittent Explosive Disorder, a disorder characterised by uncontrollable, extreme fits of rage. However, Hana was unaware of this, as she blacked out during her episodes and had no memory of it upon waking it.
When she was sixteen, a competitor in the race that ultimately earned her her place at Hope’s Peak decided to have a go at her. He mocked her and ridiculed her and what crossed the line was when he said she’d never be a good runner because of her father. She blacked out and ended up killing that boy. The death was covered up by authorities as an accident and at seventeen Hana was accepted into Hope’s Peak University as the Ultimate Sprinter.
Her birthday is July 12th
CHIYO AOKI:
Chiyo had a normal life. Nothing truly of note until she was fifteen, when her childhood best friend Ena was murdered in a political killing due to her being the daughter of a famous politician.
This event scarred Chiyo, which is why she developed a stutter, but ultimately didn’t affect her too badly. She has no other trauma to note
Her birthday is February 29th
HARUTO HYUGA:
Where do I even begin? Haruto’s life is filled with so much tragedy, it’d be easier to list the things he hasn’t suffered through.
At eleven, he confessed his feelings for a male classmate named Kiichi, who harshly rejected him and spread rumours of his sexuality around the school, causing him to get severely bullied. A few weeks later, Kiichi poured intensely strong acid all over Haruto in an attempt to “persuade him out of being queer.” Haruto was left severely scarred afterwards and had to wear a fake face mask. He lost an eye and an ear to that incident. He covers his missing ear with his hair, and the eye with an eyepatch.
Two years later, when he was coming home from school with his younger brother Daisuke, Haruto discovered his parents had been shot dead in their home. The brothers were made homeless, and Haruto had to drop out of school and work to earn money to look after Daisuke.
He worked several jobs, but the one he was best at was hairdressing. He was a talented hairdresser, despite having absolutely no training. Eventually he got so good at it that he was loaned the funding to start his own hairdressing shop when he was eighteen.
This achievement got him accepted into Hope’s Peak as the Ultimate Hairdresser. Though, and Haruto would never admit it, he’d never wanted to be a hairdresser. Haruto always dreamed of being a rockstar.
His birthday is October 2nd
ANASTASIA KUZNETSOV:
Her name means “she who will rise again”. The rest is spoilers
Her birthday is December 4th
AKIO SHIMIZU:
Akio was routinely abused and neglected by his parents following an incident that happened when he was two. This caused him to develop a violent and obsessive relationship with love, as he’d never experienced true genuine unconditional love in his life.
After that same incident, he discovered he enjoyed hurting other people. There was some twisted joy he found in making people bleed and scream.
When he was six, Kenji Hayashida approached him in school. Akio originally wanted to kill him too, but he soon realised something… Kenji made him feel the same way he felt when hurting people. The same adrenaline rush. The same joy. He couldn’t bring himself to hurt him, and ended up falling madly and obsessively in love with him.
When Akio was eight, he snapped and murdered his mother in her sleep to escape her abuse. His father, who was away on a business trip, ended up dying that same day in what the police described as a ‘terrible accident’.
Akio raised himself and continued his murders, racking up a total of 473 kills over the years. He went into refereeing as a way to stay closer to Kenji, who had developed a passion for football. He memorised the rules, the way to play, everything. Anything to stay close to that boy. Eventually he became the Ultimate Referee for his efforts.
His birthday is August 12th
OZIAS EDISON:
His childhood is tragic. He was abused by his parents and older siblings (with the exception of his sister Claudia) relentlessly. His father would beat him bloody for not being the “perfect son”. And Ozias, a boy that was feminine and liked pink, was far from that in his father’s eyes.
Ozias was raised religious. Despite his parents’ justification for their actions being that they were following God’s word, none in the Edison family were as devoted as Ozias. He obsessed over God and the idea of a divine being that could save him from his family if he just devoted himself enough.
At thirteen, Claudia tried to get him out and failed. He returned to his parents at fourteen, and they continued their abuse.
At fourteen, though, something happened. Ozias’ mother died. And while the police reported it as an accident, Ozias knew the truth.
His mother had been murdered. Not by Ozias, of course. Murder is a sin. But Ozias knew in advance and he did nothing to stop it. She did nothing when his father put his hands on him, so he chose to do nothing when another put their hands on her.
At nineteen, Ozias was accepted as the Ultimate Priest and moved to Japan to attend Hope’s Peak University.
His birthday is December 24th
SORA HASEGAWA:
Their life was sad. Abandoned on the steps of a church by a teenage mother, Sora was raised by an old pastor. The pastor loved them and cherished them like his own child, but the other children in the town didn’t see it that way.
They hated Sora. They picked on them for any reason they could. Their hair looked weird. Their eyes were weird. They weren’t normal. They weren’t a boy or a girl. There was something wrong with them. Every child in the town participated in the bullying, and even some of the adults.
This traumatic childhood made Sora develop gelotophobia (the fear of being laughed at), but also made them develop a passion for justice. They obsessed over it and spent their life climbing the ladder of power that politics provided. They became the most powerful person in the country and enacted several anti bullying laws and policies to save others from living that same life.
At nineteen they became the Ultimate Politician. They were the youngest politician in Japanese history.
Their birthday is May 30th.
And that’s all the deaduns!!! The other birthdays are as follows if you’re curious
Mei - Jan 20th
Tomás - Feb 19th
Carys - Mar 1st
Sage - Mar 7th

I watched James Somerton's final video, and all I got was this 6 page document
As soon as I learned his final unreleased video was on Revolutionary Girl Utena, I knew I had to hate watch it. I didn't know that I'd spend the following 4 hours making a comprehensive doc on everything I hated about it. But here we are.
The TLDR (is this too long to be a TLDR?)
The intro section, as well as Part 2, are directly plagiarized from wikipedia. The rest is unclear.
He makes a “haha this show is so weird right guys” joke 10 different times
He reads Anthy as so emotionally stunted she literally has to be taught how to think for herself, and believes that being the rose bride makes her feel good
He says that his reading is ‘vastly different” from the rest of the community, before boldly stating that this is because he sees it as a “deeply allegorical and symbolic story”
He sees the sexual abuse as “not to be taken literally”
Insists that the show be separated into parts that are strictly literal and strictly allegorical for the entirety of parts 3 and 4, before making the contradictory move of analyzing characters as allegories during part 5
The only characters that get dedicated sections are Akio and Dios, who he doesn’t believe are the same person. 
He says Dios gets his powers by “deflowering women”
He calls Akio, known child predator, a chaotic bisexual
Uses 14 year old SA survivor Anthy’s passive personality to make a joke about her being a bottom
His final point is that Utena was the real prince all along
There are no citations
Anyway, full version for people who hate themselves under the cut. With time codes, because I cite my sources.
Part 1: Intro
This entire section is almost exclusively quoted from the Wikipedia article for Revolutionary Girl Utena. Words have been changed, but the order at which certain topics come up is not. Highlights include:
0:56 In his introduction of Be-Papas, lists the founding members in literally the exact same order as Wikipedia.
1:40-2:00 His list of Be-Papas previous works is lifted entirely from wikipedia, only with the words changed. This leads to a strange moment at 1:52 where he claims Be-papas ‘lent their talents to’ Neon Genesis Evangelion, a show which started production at least a year before Be-papas was founded. On the wikipedia article for Utena, this is instead referring to the previous work of Shinya Hasegawa and Yōji Enokido
4:23 he uses a quote by Yūichirō Oguro describing the production as a “tug of war”. He seems to have lifted this in its entirety from Wikipedia, as he does not cite the actual source it is from (the box set companion book, btw)
As for James Somerton originals, at 0:44 he claims that out of all magical girl series,”none to my knowledge have been more discussed and dissected than the 1997 series Revolutionary Girl Utena” He will go back on this at 5:05, where he states that “Sailor Moon takes the lion’s share of discussion” in regard to influential magical girl anime
Part 2: Part 1
(At least I know I’m not funny, unlike James Somerton)
Speaking of which. Here is every single time he makes a “wow this show is sooooo weird you guys” joke: 6:00, 8:50, 10:40, 10:58, 13:46, 17:07, 24:16, 30:34, 41:19, 48:01
Here’s every time the punchline to the joke is the existence of Nanami, a character who he otherwise completely disregards: 10:56, 12:05, 16:22, 42:40
6:16 Claims that the “Apocalypse saga” and “Akio Ohtori saga’ are two names for the same several episodes, depending on the release. This is untrue. Instead, different releases either only have the Apocalypse saga, or split the episodes into an Akio Ohtori saga and then the Apocalypse saga. 
7:58 Claims Utena intervening on Anthy’s behalf begins the first duel. While this happens in the movie, Touga intervenes in the scene he uses clips from (like literally right after the shot he uses in the video). Utena only gets drawn into the duels when Wakaba’s love note to Saionji is posted. Youtuber Noralities’ Utena video also gets this wrong, which makes me wonder if this was copied.
9:09 Claims Akio’s “End of the World” moniker is actually more closely translated to “Apocalypse”. In reality, the translation moves away from a more apocalyptic reading, with 世界の果て (Sekai no hate) apparently translating closer to “the furthest reach of a known world” or “edge of the world”. (Love the implications of this translation, but I digress)
9:10 As can be assumed from the previous point, this means I can’t find any sources that point to them not using the title “apocalypse” for religious reasons
10:10 Uses Anthy’s extreme passivity under her Rose bride persona to make a top/bottom joke. I’m gonna repeat this in case you’re just skimming. He uses a trait that likely stems from years of abuse, (possibly exaggerated by the persona Anthy uses to manipulate people), and uses it to call her a bottom. 
He also just doesn’t seem to understand how the whole point of Utena constantly telling Anthy that she's just a normal girl who should make more friends is framed as Utena imposing her will on Anthy, just as much as the previous Engaged have done. 
11:54 Apologies in advance for my most “um, actually!” point yet, but technically his statement that Anthy stops being host to the Sword of Dios is wrong. Akio literally pulls a sword out of her chest in the final duel. It's a more evil-looking sword of Dios, granted.
13:02 !!! CANTARELLA SCENE ALERT !!! He interprets it as them fighting over Akio?? Which like. I will allow people to have their own interpretations of vague and symbolic scenes. I will. I swear. This is not technically incorrect. It just makes me want to eat my own intestines.
14:44 Bad Anthy take #1: He states Anthy “is emotionally stunted to the point where she needs people to make decisions for her because she does not know how to think for herself” This ignores several moments of Anthy clearly making her own choices throughout the show, including the suicide attempt Somerton mentions about a minute prior. This also strips Anthy of what little agency she has throughout the story, usually exerted through messing with Utena or Nanami. (The fact that she repeatedly makes choices that contribute to her own abuse is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting parts of her character, and it's a shame that Summerton’s ‘reading’ of the story completely disregards that)
Additionally, he once again reads Utena ‘urging Anthy to think for herself” in the first arc as an unambiguously good move, and not as something critiqued in the show.
14:52 Summerton reads the Swords of hatred as symbolizing men’s hatred specifically. Again, I’m trying not to completely disregard differing interpretations to a show like Utena, but this feels very simplistic, especially considering the harm we see aimed towards Anthy by other women
16:42 Here he claims that his reading of the story seems to be “vastly different” from the bulk of Utena discourse. What is this reading? That the show shouldn’t be read literally. Or, in his words, “[we can interpret] Revolutionary Girl Utena as a deeply allegorical and symbolic story about the struggles of coming of age amidst widespread institutional corruption in a high school and which describes a passive culture of inaction in regard to brazen instances of domestic exploitation in which there is not only a question about the caporeality of the events transpiring but also which events can be taken for granted and which events are meant to signify abstract sociological institutions.” The idea that he believes this is in any way a new reading of the material honestly baffles me.
Part 3: Part 2
17:48 through 18:50 differently quotes the Wikipedia article for postmodernism. He even makes a joke at 17:55 about Wikipedia. Please kill me. 
The first three themes he lists at 19:11 are just the three main themes listed on the Revolutionary Girl Utena Wikipedia page. What was that about a “vastly different” reading, James?
You’re gonna have to take my word for it, but this section is so short because it's just him talking about the various ways the story can’t be taken literally. He does, ironically, call this a hot take.
Part 4: Part 3
Here’s where the reading falls apart folks
At 23:15, he states that some things in Utena are allegorically coded, while others are to be taken literally. This is true. However, he seems to take this to mean that some parts of the show are Strictly Literal, while others are Strictly Allegorical for things going on in the Literal World. 
This is apparently why he prefers the Anime to the Movie, where there basically is no separation between the Literal and Allegorical
This take is bizarre to me for several reasons, but here is my favorite. At several points, he mentions how Revolutionary Girl Utena is a work of Magical Realism. Magical Realism is literally defined by its blending of the “literal” and “allegorical”, the mix of fantastical elements in a mundane, realistic setting. This idea of the impossibility of a blurred line, that Utena must either have lore where the magic is all real and means nothing, or dedicated allegory segments quarantined from the rest of the story, is contrary to the very idea of Magical Realism.
I can’t help but wonder if Somerton took his mentions of Magical realism from a previous work, due to how little it is consistent with his final argument. Either way, this section suggests a great lack of creativity in his analysis, a shame for such a creative work.
24:36: Shiori slander, for those who care
After this he gets really worked up about people assuming symbolism in everything, even when the author ‘doesn’t make it clear something is symbolic’. He shuts down a reading of a shot in the Lord of the Rings. Miley Cyrus is there? Very The Curtains Were Blue of him. 
28:22 Claims that Wakaba is the key to telling where the Strictly Literal segments end and the Strictly Allegorical segments begin. He states that, under this lens, deeply personal moments of character suffering such as all of the sexual abuse and Anthy’s suicide attempt (which he literally cites) should be read as symbolic and be “approached with uncertainty rather than confusion”. (28:24-29:13)
This also somewhat falls apart when you consider Wakaba is the jeep in the movie's car chase
And then he rants about people not liking his Attack on Titan video for a bit. Since its potential symbolism also doesn't follow hard enough rules to be symbolism. Once again, the separation of “fact vs allegory” I haven’t watched AOT, so that's all I’ll say.
Part 5: Part 4
Thank god this part is short. Much like Dios’ on-screen presence.
32:55 Makes the extremely bold claim that Dios is not Akio. As in, never even became Akio. because Dios is Strictly Allegorical.
Just to be a pedant, this is pretty explicitly disproven in the show
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Confusingly, both earlier and later he will address these two as the same character. 
33:04 he also explains the root of Akio’s name in a tone that suggests this is supplemental information and not like. Literally something he explains out loud in the show?
Part 6: Part 5
This section is nearly entirely about Akio Ohtori. I would like to note that him and Dios are the only characters with dedicated segments.
38:30 The part where he states that Dios gets his powers from deflowering women.
38:46 Claims, once again, that Akio’s abuse of Anthy “may not be literal”. 
38:59 “the instance of exploitation here is used because assault has deep roots as indicating that akio's gender is the source of his imbalance”  THE ASSAULT IS ABOUT AKIO NOW???
39:45 Bad Anthy take #2: “Anthy’s conformity to the Rose bride is based around the fact that she feels good being subservient because this is the only thing in her life that has ever brought her any kind of positive reward”. This is a direct quote. Anyway, I can’t think of any instances in the show where Anthy’s subservience gives her a positive reward, except maybe when she’s intentionally using it to manipulate others. As for her feeling good being the rose bride. She tries to commit suicide. Dude.
Side tangent, but isn’t this exactly what Akio says during the final 2 episodes? That Anthy enjoys being a witch? Is the main villain, who consistently says things during that very episode that are blatantly false, our source of information for this take? I guess so, since this is the dedicated Akio section.
At 40:20 he decides to introduce the concept of Anthy, Akio, and Utena as stand-ins for wider concepts, which is antithetical to his approach in analysis beforehand
Part 7: Part 6
42:40 he finally acknowledges that he’s been spending too much time talking about Akio, and literally no time on characters like Nanami
46:10 states that Utena’s exclusive motivation “is to protect Anthy from the predatorial intentions of the other dualists”, which disregards the fact, which she states herself, that she was largely participating in the duels and protecting Anthy to feel like a prince
48:04 The part where he says that Akio has ‘chaotic Bi vibes’ in regards to him sleeping with Touga, who is 17 and implied to be a long-term victim
Part 8: Part 7
54:01: His concluding point is that Utena was the real prince all along. 
In true Somerton fashion, the video then ends over a scrolling wall of patrons, with not a single citation in sight.
