Anime: Banana Fish
Episode: 23
My feelings about Yut-Lung and this scene are down below in just a simple paragraph so if you’re not interested in reading, just keep scrolling.
I find Yut-Lung to be an interesting antagonist. Even though he has done horrible things, I can’t hate him as a character because I still see that he has good left in him but it is not shown because he is fueled by so much hatred. Blanca is aware of this as well, despite their differences he still wishes that Yut-Lung will find someone who loves him so that he can finally start seeing the world from a more positive perspective. Yut-Lung has only come to know hatred ever since he was merely 6 years old and witnessed his brothers do cruel things to his mother. He is envious that Ash, someone who saw as similar to him, went through such horendus things but still knows how to love thanks to Eiji. Yut-Lung feels that he won’t ever find someone who will teach him how to love like Eiji did for Ash, so he has made it his goal to kill Eiji. It is selfish, nevertheless I still find it to be a very interesting motive. This scene in particular really hit me, though. We already knew that Yut-Lung had witness his mother get killed by his brothers, but we never got much of a thorough explanation until now. I wanted to share this scene because I felt that it was really important and emotional, despite how disturbing it is. Tell me how you feel about Yut-Lung as a #BananaFish antagonist or as a character in general in the comments, I’d love to hear about all the good AND the bad!♡
