can i be honest i never thought the ending scene of monster was supposed to be tenma hallucinating. i thought it was diegetic
#i guess there's no reason it CAN'T be tenma hallucinating. but also they've never been shown to do that before#and the story talks abt hallucination/flashback sequences in such a specific way that this really doesn't read to me as one#though i won't say the scene is not allegorical/symbolic bc it obviously is. i just kind of feel like calling that scene specifically#a hallucination kinda strips it of its impact somewhat for me#it would in fact be entirely in character for johan not only to pull some bullshit like that but also speak to tenma's deepest fears in tha#moment. because he's been doing that for the whole goddamn series#i dont think he needs to know the particulars of tenma's childhood and the trauma of theirs he has not witnessed directly#to get at what eats away at them in their soul. they are philosophically both diametric opposites and two sides of the same coin#of course he can and would do that#monster#personal
