Light is scared of him because he's a monster without a name
True, Johan is like the last boss that Light would fight if he had outsmart L and N.
I really wish there was a villan like Johan for Light. It would have been more interesting compared to the good detective vs criminal arc after L died

You know a Antagonist is good, when you try to imitate him.

It came from Czechoslovakia so it's true hahahah
Plz lmao one of my old bedtime stories is about a dog getting killed by their owner because he thought that the dog had killed his baby.
What I love about Johan is that as evil as he is, he’s not edgy.
Yea, his famous quote, "the only thing human is equal in is death" is not even edgy, it's actually a fact that's no matter how strong, weak, rich or poor you are, we're all gonna experience death.
Well, the edgy is the one who try to be Johan but fail miserably.
Snaaake
@@iliveinsideyourhouse3943 death is inevitable
True lmfao
*”The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was making the world believe he doesn’t exist”*
This quote just screams the name Johan for me, he was trying to erase everything about his past and even Detective Lunge believed he wasn’t real and only a part of Tenma’s imagination.

@@muhammadbillal5344 oh yeah, sorry I made a mistake.
When Johan, dressed as Nina, sent that kid to red light district saying his mom is there and told him if no one calls out to him then no one wanted him. That moment.
That scene where Grimer rescued him really got to me. Especially when he kept turning to Tenma to ask if his response was appropriate. Grimer was my favorite character so I appreciated seeing him grapple with his lack of emotions, even though he was so much more empathetic than he thought he was.
that was the EPISODE
He was so shocked and angry that he killed an insect (or maybe butterfly).
That scene was scary
@@kimsuamulol yeah..even if grimmer was had brutal traumatic childhood,even if he struggle to feel emotion and express himself his empathy was on another level..
@@kimsuamulolI just finished the show, and I can unashamedly admit that I cried at 3 in the fucking morning when that man died.

What manga is this?
@@manray3023 monster you should watch the anime
@@manray3023 Naoki Urasawa's Monster
its sad how many people don't know about this anime
It's not for everybody unfortunately. No supernatural powers, just raw suspense and good story telling. The pacing, at least in the anime, is a bit slow from my point of view, it took me quite a while to finally finish it, but it's definitely one of the greatest.
The manga is really popular.
"but but we have tokyo revengers?? Attack on titan??"
What is the name of this anime
@@phantom9738 Monster
One of the greatest things about Monster is that Johan’s ultimate undoing in the very end was him not taking into account the love of a parental figure, as the father of the child he’s holding hostage shoots him in the skull. I think that’s absolutely incredible story writing
Possibly because this is something he didn't have (or believes he didn't have, since their mother gave one of the twins away).
Also I'm kinda lost as to what happened to Anna (the twins' mother) after the fire in the three frogs. I think it wasn't shown what happened to her after the twins escaped the fire, right?
@@olafunwaabuiza3031 from what I thought, although it’s been a while since I’ve read it, she was presumed dead, and ran away from her children into hiding
@@olafunwaabuiza3031 I don't think u watch it out....tenma visited her in the end....she's alive
@@HeavenlyDemon592 what happened to her during and right after the fire is what I meant. How did the twins escape? Was she not there? Where was she when the fire broke? Did she not look for her children?
P.s. also i have watched it twice already, however with years of gap. Haven't read the manga tho
@@olafunwaabuiza3031 During the fire she was not there. There was a scene that shows the mother and twins. In that scene the mother tells anna and johann that they must live only with theirselves. Because bonaparta was doing another project that involved clever,beautiful,social (perfect) people in order to make perfect children of that people that they can manipulate and use for their own. And bonaparta was going to took her away for this project so mother told them to run away then disappeared. Then they burn the home and ran away.

Wow dude, I know This isn't related but I just realized that you're in every you tube video I've watched. It's like we have equal taste. I always love your comments as well. I'm curious where I'll find you next. Maybe in DMC 5😅
“Wait, he’s a NAZI? I may be a psychopath murderer, but i’m an AMERICAN psychopath murderer!”
@@aa-pw7cw I know what you're referencing but Johann isn't one.
He doesn't care enough, and in the end just dislikes them himself.
@@majorknight859 That's not him.Your mistaking him for just some guy without a moustache.He has a moustache.He must his father or uncle
Johan is so scary because of how human he really is. He got me looking at the people I talk to in a different way
when you say how human he really is what do you mean by this because this guy is the least human person I have seen in fiction yet. i don't relate to him and there is not much people like him he is far from a regular human being he is the embodiment of the devil and all things evil
@@markp1988 i think by "human" he mean "people" in society. Johan looks like normal person, perfectly fit in society yet he hide a "monster" inside him and no one knows about it. People often similar to Johan looks like normal person yet deep down they have their own version of monster cravings for guilty pleasure that unfit in society, not as extreme as Johan thought. The similarities end there, i completely agree about Johan, he is inhumane.
@@ShadyAnchovy oh thx for explaining
Ikr
How is he human? Actually throughout the whole story you wonder if this guy is supernatural or not. Because the events made him sound like something beyond human. The human aspect of him is probably just what an absolutely ridiculous, insane, tragic life he has lived. Our life experiences create our mentality. He is a monster because of all the monsters he met.
Johan truly scares me. He scares me because of the fact that he can exist. Monster is very much grounded in realism. Redefine the meaning of a Monster in your mind. The philosophy of the show. The psychology of characters. The characterization of the entire show is amazing. The pacing of the anime is slow at start, and the animation is pretty decent. But it was made in 2004. Also, the anime redeems itself in the end. This is why Johan is my favorite anime character and Monster is one of my favorite anime series and manga.
Well said
GIVE me like 3 reasons why he scares u if u can
@@Vocalisting 1. Doesn’t matter if you are on his side or in opposition. If you are in his calculations you most likely be dead.
2. No remorse whatsoever.
3. He can exist as your best buddy.
I find Johan relatable, do you think you are worthy of watching the final scene?
I am sooo hungry....please feed me i need to get bigger and bigger , i' m very very hungry
You know what's creepy about this man? The look in his eyes. That look he gave Tenma in the library through the lens gave me chills
@@mightdai7489 yeah. Great antagonist horrible human being though
And his angelical voice is a creepy contrast too.
I think the last scene where he was in the hospital just staring at Dr. Tenma is the scariest imo.
@@lolett6940 brooo I completely forgot about that. It legit made me flinch
@@ladygrinningsoul357 sometimes the devil wears a pleasant face

@@flanbenflen9069 آمين
Correction, he is society
@@flanbenflen9069 we live in a society
Johan was the only character that sent chills to my spine. He doesn't need any superpowers to trick you, His words are enough to make someone go rage. It's crazy to think what a human can be capable of.
Ikr! That man can really talk me into killing someday. It's just his way of words and how loving he sounds.
@@eyexha Especially how he picks on the mentally weak. Just like in the final arc, where the guns were given to ppl who are bullied and would want revenge. He was a true monster
Yeah he just feels intimidating every time he is on screen I feel as if he could kill me and everyone I know by looking at me too hard
The power of words
Spoiler :
I remember when he killed that alcoholic detective. I still distinctly remember that wicked smile before he gives him the bottle.
There are so many not so important story moments in the anime I remember distinctly for some reason, like the scene where the boy killed the butterfly, that scene had more impact than characters dying in so many media
The way johan is connected to every character and you don't realise until after, he just snakes his way through everyone and even manipulates us as an audience.
Which is why he is made a villian tho.
Just brilliant writing, how everything wraps up in the very last chapter is amazing man, and without plotholes, shit that's crazy
@@BeeruzChrysler Have you ever watched an horror movie? Like, an actually good one like the OG Alien or Halloween? Or maybe Suspiria?
Just go rewatch Alien.
When do you think the Xenomorph is at its scariest: when it is on screen and you can see it, and the characters can defend themselves, or when it's offscreen, hinted yet hidden and never fully shown? When it's a sound in the dark, a movement in the corner of your eyes?
When it's behind you and you don't know it, just to turn around as it lunges at you, killing you in an horrific way before you can react?
Johan is written like a killer or monster from Horror cinema.
When you see him in the flesh, you see Johane Liebert, the human, the mortel.
When you hear about his actions and see the result of his actions, he is a Devil, a corrupting force of absolute Evil that can make people dance at his whims and change things as if he is 30 steps ahaed.
The story teases you with answers being possible: a human or actually a Monster?
The fact that people don't get it's absurd.
@@BeeruzChrysler You missed the point so wasting time is useless but i'll try.
The two comparisons don't work, period.
That's a sudden kinda plotpoint kinda plothoel, Johan is ESTABLISHED to be such over and over. And we also know his modus operandi, actually.
He is simply crazy good at reading people and their motivations and even better at acting.
That's... Really it. When he wanted to look like a random assistant, he did it.
When he wanted to get a group of neonazi to believe he is the new Hitler, he did it.
He can talk 5 minutes with a child and make them jump down a roof.
He can destroy the life of an established surgeon simply by killing a man in front of him and making him feel guilt and regret.
That's the point. We have enough to understand his methods, and our imagination feels the blanks with the scariest shit possible.
And any fucking way, "trying to make an horror" with goddamn marvel superheroes shouldn't even belong to the same sentence as ACTUAL horror cinema.
Not the endless deluge of trash, the actually scary or at least interesting ones.
The Hills Have Eyes isn't scary because of the cannibal with a chainsaw, but because that cannibal live and acts in broad daylight. Not hidden in the night and shadow, he will just overpower and butcher you.
It was legit a novel horror concept in the 70s.
If you are a child and need to see stuff on screen... Well that's your bad, really.
A great strength of Urasawa writing is exactly this mastery in showing JUST ENOUGH, but not more than that.
When in 20th century boys there is an actual psychic, you don't suddenly turn the story into an hard magic system to explore the implication. He simply uses it to imply to the reader that Friend being ACTUALLY supernatural is a possibility.
Why does no one talk about Urusawa's artwork his artwork isn't as amazing as something like Berserk or Vagabond but I feel like his artwork fits his stories so well really bringing out the tone of his mangas.
One thing I really appreciate on Urasawa's artwork is just how expressive his characters are.
Urasawa’s artwork may not be the greatest but is grounded in realism which fits his stories perfectly.
Naoki artstyle is one of my favourite. His artstyle is likes combination of 60s and modern manga artstyle. It's unique in my opinion.
🔥🔥“The Nameless Monster” story Can explain the Author’s logic; like a Sharingan Artists have the ability to use many styles at anytime. However Johan’s character in Monster’s plot does not require any “World Building” his philosophy is that no matter how grand a structure is: it can come apart from the inside. His character serves to deconstruct the world around him. So if anything if time went on the world around Johan would have been empty’ just like at the end of “The Nameless Monster” tale’. the Masked Man has done an excellent job of explaining the 2 perspectives with 1 story.🔥🔥🔥
I love his art! It’s beautiful. Especially here at 10:50, I find that middle panel with the Lieberts absolutely haunting and very artistic. Whilst watching this video, I couldn’t help but analyse this panel the most. It drew me in somehow.
imagine a 16 year old just calling johan "cringe"

@@JayfroC yeah he definitely does 💯
He’s a great protagonist in the sense that he always does what you want him to do. I never feel frustrated with any of his actions and all of his struggles are very understandable. He’s written very well.
Johan is a living Death Note
Whoever knows his name will die.
Hahahahaha yess
Johan is most boring character i have ever seen
@@TheCartieyeee cap
Why do i keep seeing “Johan is a living death note” or “Johan is a walking death note”
Craziest thing about Johan is that the ending proves he's still human.
Why is that the case according to you ?
@@pinkmatter8488 When he reveals to Tenma that his mother almost casted him away, to me it felt like he's still just a scared child that felt unloved. Throughout the series there are multiple children that were on the brink of going psycho, but someone would always save them. Someone would always make them feel loved. No one tried to save Johan, and that's the saddest part about him.
Yep and he was able to live the rest of his days in bliss
@@purpleheart9160 I see, it makes a lot of sense. Thank you
Bro, that's not a surprise, why do you think he's the best villian ever? The story tell us any of us can turn into monsters if we don't have love.
If people think Aizen was a crazy villain for pulling the strings, they should wait and see Johan.

Grimmer will forever be my favorite Monster character.
Yup
Amazing steiner too bro
he's cool, handsome and friendly. totally good 😁
Same bro
He wasnt the magnificent steiner all along but for sure... he was still magnificent
Kid Johan is just so creepy. He is scary and dangerous all through out the series but the kid version of him gives me shivers.
Yeah, like what the hell was up with him. It's almost like the only emotion he felt was bitterness
Well it was his most troubled phase in life, evil kids are often used in many horror settings the reason is simple, they represent two opposite forces colliding in one being, kids supposedly known for their innocence and purity used as a catalyst to represent evil. What Johan went trough was a phase of confusion that started with never getting a name, losing or better yet never acquiring an identity, robbed of that he’s an empty shell wich only purpose is bringing upon destruction and end existence. But if he has a common emotion to us I think it’s the pain and trauma deriving from the experiments he went trough
Johan's mom used to read him books written by Nietzsche before going to bed
I believe that also..
Nice one
But actually nietzsche's philosophy is opposed to johan's one
For Nietzsche u have to find the will to live in the little pleasures of life and in the beauty of ur life
At least that's what i understood
Whereas johan doesn't have any will to live and doesn't try to find it in those things
@@roxazzino3115 nah from what I understand it is a rejection of selflessness for complete selfishness.

Literally every character in this series was sooooo good. They were all written well. Truly a masterpiece.
yeah,one of the shows with the best written characters, however I didn't quite understand the equation between Johann and his sister, it's at times implied that she's the second monster,but she isn't monstrous at all.
@@madhukarjonathanminj2772 The point was that the 2nd monster learned to be happy with who they were, even without a name. Without an identity. Despite all that happens to Nina being the one who suffered all that happened, she holds onto her humanity, comes out of it a stronger, compassion woman. Whereas Johan who experienced none of it, latched onto the story, and in the pursuit of something, became nothing.
@@TheDeathOmen Oh, thanks now i get it.
Poor grimer
Except lunge
Johan being evil was all part of Aizen’s plan.
Or was Aizen’s plan always Johan’s plan?
Yeah. Getting his ass whooped by his experiment is part of his plan too.
@sleepy • 16 years ago The power Ichigo gained is because he gave time to Ichigo to train for 3 months. So he basically planned his own ass whoopin just because he felt lonely and subconsciously desired someone he can consider as his equal
Then he came out of Mugen after 2 years getting stronger than his past transcendent form with no reason.
@sleepy • 16 years ago Still, Aizen got them cheeks clapped by Ichigo
@sleepy • 16 years ago understand what? Facts are facts
His talk no jutsu could've manipulated Naruto into becoming a rogue ninja. I can just imagine him exploiting Naruto's memories of the village treating him like a monster.

Man, the anime is absolutely as well or even better than manga
One of the highlights for me was the arc with Detective Suk. I legitimately thought it was Nina throughout their conversations. One thing that made me become suspicious was the bonbons and yet I thought, "Oh, Nina's starting to become Johan". And then the reveal happened.
MF fooled me thinking he was Nina Fortner.
What made me suspicious was the fact the real Nina would have been with Dieter, since she left together with him! But on the other hand, could have gotten rid of him or lost him on the way somehow I figured..
lol suk fell for a trap lol
Nah I realised that after I saw nina (Johan) was taller than suk but suk was as tall as tenma but nina was shorter than tenma.
It was so evident that it wasn't Nina and yet I didn't realize it wasn't Nina until the reveal
@@rohini. huh? how was it so evident? there was nothing about it other than nina's height and giving away poisoned candies.

The Antichrist isn't going to be looked at as pure evil. He will be accepted by all peoples. He is what the world wants for themselves.
If you say "pure evil", then you have to know what you're calling yourself.
I also think that the Antichrist wont know he is the Antichrist. I believe he will do all the actions stated in the book of revelation not in the name of the great deceiver but in the name of God. That way he brings down the closets that we’ve had to a christ like figure in centuries and once again deceiving the world.
No he will know he is evil. Except those days should be SHORTENED no FLESH SHOULD BE SPARED, to paraphrase of course.
Read 1 John chapter 4. Everyone whose name is not written in the book of life will be decieved! Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved! Believe in Jesus Christ and you shall have everlasting life! Get a king james bible and believe.

@@MichaelAChristian1 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

What are you referring to? Yes, Satan and the Antichrist are evil. But "everyone does what is right in their own eyes" says Judges. No one considers themselves evil. That's why they can be so deceptive. Everyone wants to think of themselves as good, and that's why the Bible is so offensive to many. Because He calls all of us evil.
"Monster" was one my first anime. And I was shocked. The incredible quality of the narration, the depth of the characters, the complexity and intelligence of story. It instantly became one of my favorite show.
Now after many years and watching a lot of animes, I can hardly find anything comparable.
Except Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion of course
Should try out manga there are plenty of mangas on the same level as monster and even some mangas made by the same person who made monster

@@KobaltBlue680 ohkk thanks for suggestion :)
watched monster like a year ago and man no villian has put fear in my heart the way johan did.
seems like you have not watched kaiji
You must scare pretty easily then. Johan is cake.
What makes it scary is the fact people like him do exist in our society. They look completely harmless yet deep inside they're a demon.
@@hetdowsha2968 if your an adult your know what he means, Johann is scarier because he could be anyone, hence the monster with no name. Also Johann reminds me of the pretentious people in society who actually impacts the country's growth albeit we can't see nor witness and in the blink of an eye, inflation, GDP drop, country loans, stolen government funds, and all the like and it really impacted on how my life functioned. Before we can have groceries every week but due to inflation even small carrots cost like gold. It's because of people who act like Johann. They do shot for their own good and their shit n giggles and care bout nobody smaller than them. Electric rate increases, gas price increase, ignorant politicians and the like. Even though I'm living my own life but these people who barely touched me gave me stress.
It's as if they don't care about how their words and actions affect small people, it's as if they just want to watch the world burn.
@@hetdowsha2968 I watched alot of anime but still Johan's the best,there's no other way to not be afraid of him.Because he's kind of person who can control your life,movement without letting you know.He doesn't have any will,desire,things to lose so it makes him more powerful.Seems like you only accept antagonists as creepy,psycopaths.Yohan's far from that concept.
Monster is an underrated, understated, and unknown masterpiece.
if u like that kind of manga, u should read 20th century boy too, kind like monter, so good manga and a masterpiece.
What are you talking about? Monster is widely praised by pretty much everyone who has seen it, it isn’t “underrated” at all
@@wobblecrash I'd say Monster is Underrated among the general populace. By general Populace I mean people who watch the Mainstream stuff. They aren't that much into anime.

I’ve just read the monster manga, I like to interpret Johan is the representation of death itself, an agent of fate. He’s the inevitably of times and chances. I’d like to compare Johan to Anton Chigurh more than the Joker in my perspective.
The manga provides s representation for Johan a few times ,he's the beast .
That is a good comparison! At first I was comparing Johan to Joker, but I'd almost forgot that Anton has similar characteristics too! ^^

Wolfgang Grimmer's death ripped my heart out no lie. Sure, Johan was supposed to embody pure evil while Dr Tennant embodied pure good but for me, Grimmer's monologue about why it's horrid to destroy people's sense of good and evil answered the nihilistic problem Johan posed. The drive to find meaning in life is our greatest burden turned gift, and to an extent, a need.
I really like grimmer because even though he is stripped of all of his emotions, he still strive to be a good person unlike say, roberto, who underwent the same thing.
Dr Tennant lmao
Grimmer embodied struggling for his redemption

Johan is one of the only villains who has haunted my dreams before. He’s a perfect character, in a perfect series
i have to say this.this is from a while ago. i was planning to start monster. i had a weird ass dream in which there was cillian murhpy and johan. it was like a psychological horror dream. johan was there and he was scaring the shit out of me. i woke up n realized it was a dream. so i dropped the idea of watching monster and instead watched it after a week
Tenma and Johan rivalry is kinda like Guts and Griffith.
Johan, Griffith, are usually wearing or just look like happy colourful people that are just waiting for a another day to pass.
Tenma and Guts look dark and kinda traumatised and look like they have lost something within them
Yep
But griffith is the worst,he doesn't even admit that he's evil rather claim that he's a good god

In the manga (or at least the french translation), I clearly remember one thing a few characters said to describe Johan's way of thinking about humanity : "Do you remember that feeling you had as a kid, when you disturbed an ant colony for the sake of it?"

The last scene, the flashback was so good. Gave me chills.
I think I saw u defend monster from some shounen fanboys in a nux vedio
I feel like the reason why Johan works so well is because he is just a man. We as humans naturally fear the evils and darkness of mankind so Johan a man who is basically the evils of man in character can only be a good character and urasawas masterful writing of him makes him even better
I can't decide on a better antagonist, Johan or Griffith. They're both amazing in so many levels.
Griffith because no matter how Berserk ends Miura passed away before truly showing what happens to his narcissistic ass.
@@reduXstereo Johan > griffith (writing)
But griffith is one of those villains that you'd actually hate instead of finding him cool/iconic or better written or looking into his ideology and philosophy which speaks volumes for itself
That's why miura was such a chad
Johann Liebert is how you build a char with max charisma. He killed a guy just by talking...
Ehhh Johan never ever felt human to me. I don’t think he was written as a person. He’s not layered, with a multifaceted personality with different traits the way humans are. He represents ideals, not traits, if that makes any sense. Force of nature villain.
Ah, i get what you meant. it's like he represents a philosophy. And with how atmospheric the manga seems to be, i'm not surprised you think that way.
@@aureliaavalon it’s more my own personal taste. Johan and Tenma aren’t really people so much as they are stand ins for vastly differing philosophies. While that can be thought provoking, I prefer more personal nuanced characters. Like Heath Ledgers joker isn’t a character, he’s chaos in human form vs Joaquin Phoenix’s very human joker
Yes I noticed this while reading too. What I got from it was that he represented the Monster that can be brought forth simply through words and storytelling.
I disagree while yes, at the beginning of the show he definitely felt more like an enigma than a person but the more we got to find out about his past the more I started to understand him. While yes both him and Tenma represent two extremes and definetly are meant to transport certain ideals and themes, they both still feel human to me.
Johann ultimately wanted someone to proof him wrong in his beliefs and ideals. He was secretly waiting for someone to debunk his idea of Nihilism and show him a way out of that isolation. Nina also understood at The end that the only way to save her brother was to forgive him that would mean he could still be loved despite of all the terrible things he has done.
He tried to erase himself from this world, kill everyone who knew about his existence and detach himself from life in general.
Tenma and Nina were able to form a connection with him despite all of that which proofed to him that life is not meaningless because of those connections that were made with him.
Human psychological experiments, the betrayal of his mother and his gamble with fate all played a role in shaping his character.
@@pillmatik4239 U didn't understood his character well then

I’m in the same boat here, currently reading berserk and will be caught up in like 2 days max and already planned to do Monster next and I’m hyped because of all the good sht I hear about it ^^
One thing fascinates me the most about Johan is he reminds of Tom Riddle(Aka Voldemort) from Harry Potter without the magical power. He too had such manipulative and Persuasive power and he too hated the mankind. The only difference is Voldemort wanted to rule the world while Johan just wants to watch the whole world burn. That itself makes Johan a pretty scary and possibly one of the best villain ever written.

Joker > Johan
This clown above me is literally a disgraceful fan. Before he could respect my opinion but then he turned into an idiotic whim of a human being.
@@genghiskhan7691 elaborate
@@Itachi-mf5bv Sure. It depends on what version of the Joker we're talking about. For instance, let's take a look at Joker in The Dark Knight, in that he is arguably the greatest movie villain of all time along with Darth Vader. Now the Joker isn't the best antagonist just because he laughs manically and acts unpredictably. There are multiple reasons why he is great. The first reason, of course is due to Heath Ledger's magnificent, stellar and legendary performance and the portrayal of the Joker. He basically made the movie about him, not the Batman, heck he stole the show in every scene he was in. Heath elevated the film to greater heights, leaving people to consider it the best superhero film of all time or even one of the best of the 21st Century, if not one of the best, in general. Another major reason is how well-written is character. The Joker is indeed an agent of chaos which opposes Batman who is an agent of order. In the comic books, Batman and the Joker are a dualistic concept, similar to Tenma and Johan. In TDK, Batman is a symbol of Order and Hope, meanwhile the Joker is a symbol of Chaos and Despair, creating a perfect dynamic between the two characters. In short, the Batman and the Joker are two sides of the same coin. Moreover, throughout most of the film, The Joker is always several steps ahead of Batman. More than just a physical threat, he’s also a mental threat. This is taken to the ultimate level when The Joker kills Rachel Dawes and essentially rips the heart out of Batman. On top of The Joker’s dangerous physical presence, he also uses fear like a terrorist. He attacks his enemies - essentially anyone who opposes him - psychologically as well as physically. To sum it up, people are afraid of Batman but are terrified of the Joker. Furthermore, Batman has to do things he has never done before to simply find The Joker. In order to defeat The Joker, Batman must break his one rule of not killing any criminal. But catching The Joker only delays the inevitable. For Batman to win, he must kill The Joker, which actually is not a real win. The Joker knows this and exploits it constantly during the film. Quite simply, Batman cannot win.
He can only gain temporary victories against The Joker. However, Batman continues to fight and be the hero Gotham needs. This is the movie’s ending, and it sets up Batman as a martyr of sorts. But the audience knows that The Joker is still alive and well in Arkham. The Joker always has the upper hand on Batman, and, because of this, The Joker’s legacy lives on. The Joker Can Even Be Seen As The Protagonist. If you look at typical story structure, the Joker is often the one who is driving most of the action in the story. From the opening scene until the end, The Joker dominates the screen.
Batman spends most of his time reacting to The Joker’s plans, and it isn’t until the very end that Batman takes control of the story by pursuing The Joker through the use of invasive surveillance. Lastly, the fact that the Joker lacks appearance in the film (he's in it for about 43mins in a 2hr 30 min movie), is what makes him threatening and engaging. A similar case can be made based on this point for Darth Vader and Johan Liebert. In conclusion, he's just a man who wants to watch the world burn, with clear motivations of crumbling society, exposing the bad joke which is their moral code or morality. He'll do anything to make his ruthless cynicism justified. This is supported by his actions in the final act of the film, where he attempts to enforce the people on the ferries to kill each other.
Now let's talk about Johan. There is no doubt that he is a great antagonist, he is often considered to be the best villain in anime and manga and I do not disagree with that. There are many reasons why Johan is a great villain. One major reason is the dualistic concept between him and Tenma. Johan, like the Joker, can be viewed as man who just want to watch the world burn, he is the perfect example of a nihilistic antagonist, lacking interest in money, power etc., in absolutely anything. All great villains often appear in a philosophical or metaphorical context. The Joker is an agent of chaos. Anton Chigurh, another great villain in No Country for Old Men, is an agent of Fate. Likewise, Johan can viewed as an agent of Death. On the contrary, Dr. Tenma can be seen as an agent of Life. The symbols these characters represent is what makes them intriguing and compelling. Moreover, Johan enjoys setting things in motion. He plays one person against another and then watches to see what happens. He gives people permission to live out their darkest fantasies, and then backs them into a corner where they have no other choice. Even other serial killers and regular people alike soon become caught up in Johan’s way of thinking and will do anything for him, or because of him. He is a Monster. A true, bona fide monster cloaked in human skin. Simply put, a mystery. He walks around calmly in the shadows, killing with emotional detachment. He is incredibly charismatic, able to manipulate the toughs of the people easily and force them to do his bidding, usually killing the people he wants dead. He is able to exploit any weakness and use them to his advantage. He is the monster with no name. Johan is the pinnacle of Evil. He not only kills you, he makes you feel absolute fear by the time he's done with you. He with his brains, charisma and by being what he is can achieve what no other villain can without superpowers. However, there are faults with his character. The average reader or even the audience cannot interpret his obscure actions diligently. Thus they are left with questions waiting to be asked, such as how does Johan kill people with candy etc.
Overall, this all comes down to personal preference and taste. Whether Joker is a better villain than Johan or vice versa, they are in many ways, a similar character. Johan is indeed the anime version of the Joker. I do not believe that both characters are overrated, they are celebrated, as great villains with good reasons. They are no doubt, some of the greatest villains in all fiction.
