Chirin has lost his innocence when he chose to seek vengeance for his mom. As a result, he has lost who he was & now realises what vengeance can do to a person
I don't think that he really wanted to revenge, he just wanted to protect those who remind him about his past and don't let someone suffer like he did.
It's remind me like Aunt May from Spider-Man said this to Peter Parker: Aunt May : I don't think it's for us to say whether a person deserves to live or die. Peter Parker : But, Aunt May. He killed Uncle Ben. Aunt May : I know Uncle Ben meant the world to us. But he wouldn't want us living one second with revenge in our hearts. It's like a poison. It can - It can take you over. Before you know it, turn us into something ugly. Aunt May was right, revenge is not the right path. Because according to Aunt May, revenge is like a poison that infects anyone, turning them into monsters that are more terrifying than the person they are taking revenge for.

What better way to learn to kill your enemy than to learn from them? Their strengths, weaknesses, how they think. But when learning from what you hate, it’s easy to be swallowed by it. Remade until you justify acts you’d consider unthinkable before.
Remember Revenge of the Sith when Padmé became horrified over how changed Anakin had become? Well, it was the same with Chirin and those other sheep in the end.
You can tell Chirin regretted his decision to leave the farm by the way he was acting at the final scene. He probably accepted his fate and allowed himself to be frozen.
Well, to quote Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent: “how can anyone love a pebble in their shoe?” Chirin was the pebble and he understood this. By the way, watch o r read The Vinland Saga if you want a deeper understanding of his motives.
@@reshikatimsina2453 No I'm pretty sure that he did regret everything that happened and what he had become, with the wolf's death being the last straw to everything he would regret.
Everything is left ambiguous, as much as we talk and theorize it is up to us to choose what to believe. No matter what the movie said, or what it implied. It was left ambiguous for a reason, I personally choose to believe that Chirin was conflicted about his feelings. Seeing the lamb reminded him of his own mother, leaving a semblance of nostalgia he missed. But all those years with the wolf, being almost like a father to him. For the ending I'm honestly left unsure, but I'd like to think he survived and moved on.
Chirin was a child and viewed the world as such. He didn't hate the wolf even for killing his mother. He hated the WEAKNESS of his kind. That's why they rejected him even after slaying the wolf and protecting them. Because they hated their own weakness and more so his strength
The fact that the wolf said what he said. He was waiting for his time to come and it's so sad that you can tell he just wanted someone who wasn't scared of him and the fact that chirin want scared of him he felt bad even if he was a wolf. He's glad that he made a friend and got to end his life knowing that Chirin looked at him like a father. This gives you the feels
The fact that neither of the lambs in the flock comforted or adopted Chirin while he was mourning his dead mother and only watched him suffer bothers me. Like, there were a lot of them who could adopt him, but instead they just let him seek revenge. Poor little Chirin :(
“In order to live some must die” (wolf) Foreshadowing, pointing to the survival of first the wolf then the sheep yet leaving Churin without a parent in both instances, underlining the cruelty of nature against Churin and how it’s “not fair” (Churin). This as a whole leaves the movie in an unsatisfactory state of justice in which Churin was ment to be happy in the end but just like nature it’s not always a happily ever after and especially in this case, for Churin. Regret surrounding him Churin realized that there is no fighting the system because as the saying goes the house always wins.
I think this hits harder because it's a raw reaction I think we all get. Thrashing around, crying, praying for hope, but in the end you get tired and have to accept reality. It's a terrifying emotion we fear when we lose someone very close to us.
Well, the narrator said that no one saw him again. But you wanna know something else? I’ve read other versions of the story. In them, a mother sheep tells her lamb that if he cries Chirin will come and kill him or take him away. What do you think of that?
@@puterboy2 I think you made that one up. I read the English version of the book online. She didn't say he'd KILL the lamb. She just said that the sound of a bell could be heard.
@@puterboy2 And no, not no one saw him again. The sheep just never saw him again. That doesn't mean he just froze himself. It means he just left the farm for good.
@@evancredeur7498the sheep back then are scared of the wolf now they are scared of something worse than a wolf a monster ram. Good news he never leave the mountains bad news his bell ringing
I'd like to think that Chirin ended up in a pasture somewhere, with other sheep that love him with or without the horns he grew from the pain of losing his mother. I'd like to think he went somewhere and healed, even with the anger that he made a part of himself.
The ending scene here in the English dub, I think sounds more heartbreaking than in the original Japanese one [aside from the yells of "WOE!" by the Japanese actor, those won't be outdone].
I know many are critical of this dub and I too have some issues like the voice for Young Chirin is a bit too whinny but the Wolf's voice is amazing, and I love the way it echos almost like he's a demon inside and out. Chirin's adult voice is really going all out and I love that, especially the way he screams out to the wolf before he impales him, like he was blinded by the wolf's affections but now is remembering why he wanted to be a fighter in the first place. I do think that wolf had a death wish and was using Chirin to carry it out. I would like to believe Chirin found a way to move on but it does seem like he will be forever scarred.
Wor: The dark side of nature is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Chirin: Is it possible to learn this power? Wor: Not from a sheep.
@@puterboy2 I find it parallels the plot of KOTOR 2 where Darth Kreia takes on the Exile as her apprentice and meant for the apprentice to kill her in the end
It hits harder than classic Disney movies... because it shows reality, it shows the truth we want to forget so much. I hope that one day all the suffering will be ended... by god, by advanced civilizations or anything else. Strange, but exactly this type of stories give me strength to work hard to achieve my dreams, just because they remind me that there is not everything good in this world, and that someone should make it better... or at least try to. I hope that I'll be one to make something great, to help the world become a perfect place for everyone, at least to start becoming one... if not, there's just no meaning in life, being just a piece of mechanism called univerese and suffer until you meet your end.
Your way of thinking shows that you are a good person my boy/girl, but forgive me if I say it's also a bit naive. Human's nature is selfish. There are bits of genuine good feelings, but they last nanoseconds. I saw you edited your comment which I interpret as a fact that you want to really get your message through in the best way possible and that probably you'd like also to discuss your opinions with other listeners. If by any chance you're interested in sharing opinions, I'd like to discuss it with you here. I'm no creep, I'm just curious to get an answer from you because the phrase you wrote: "the truth we want to forget so much" made me stop and think. May I ask you what's your dream and which events drove you towards this dream? You want to make the world a better place, did I get it right? Now please I hope you wont interpret me asking how old you are as a means to belittle your feelings. Not my intention. However, I'm beyond teen years. I'm not old at all, but let's say not too young either. All this fuss because it's best to keep personal data the more generic as possible. So obviously you can do the same with personal info. So, I'm relatively young. I think every single action humans take has a "selfish" purpose. I'll explain. Friends. Friends last as long as you are attending the same school or college and then in most cases it's a goodbye. Very very few relationships continue afterwards. How I interpret this: I need a pal to pass this time in college, I need a pal who can help me with homework. See? It's a transaction. I give you X, you give me Z. Z and X being stuff related to college " you help me with science project, I teach you physics or I keep you around cuz you're funny and make these hard times more pleasurable. Once you get out if college you don't need anymore a friend that can help you in a subject. You need to find those at your workplace. And since it's rare that people from same college class go to work in the same places, these friendships will start fade away. Why? Cuz the transaction is no longer beneficial to both parties. That's why it's unlikely you'll have high-school or college friends checking on you. If they do, you must have something valuable to theme or they think they can continue using you for some other purposes. I had friends in college and I wanted to keep in touch, but sadly everyone is too wrapped up in their own lives to worry about others too much. You see what I mean? As long as your useful in a certain CONTEXT they'll hang out with you. When CONTEXT changes, relationships starts fading. With fading I don't mean you never hear from or see each other in decades. But you two become less and less involved, until maybe it's only you who has the initiative to write hello how hv u been long time no see. Some will reply but won't ever hang out with you again, others will forget to reply or give short cold words All this thesis to say that friendship is just transaction. Same with love. We don't love a person, we love how that person makes us feel. If the person changes and so changes what they made us feel, we no longer love them. We love because we fool ourselves into believing that loving sb will make us feel important. Like: oh this strong emotion I feel.....it's love! I'm capable of love!". No. Sorry to break it to you but you're just trying to find sb who connects with you and makes you feel good. It's easier to walk in life being in two and not just one. You increase chances of survival you know, especially when you start getting older or if one of couple loses a job. Being in two in convenient. So yeah, no romantic love, another transaction. Having said that, I really don't know how you could create a better words. Everything has become a transaction, everyone follows stupid trends, everyone is obsessed with material things like shoes dresses cars motorcycles and the more you have the cooler you are. BS. I wanna live experience, I wanna cultivate memories, not stupid dresses or layers of makeup. We are so fixated with material things because we have too little time to do other more meaningful things. Travel, see the world, even play, lay sport, etc. Work = money but no free time. Work 40 hours a week (excluding commuting and rush hour and lunch break) and see how much energy and time you have to do what makes you feel alive. People nowadays are holding this weird belief that the more money you have the more stuff you can buy and so you'll be cool. BS. BS. BS. But good luck trying to change their mind. People are the most selfish they have ever been. No empathy or not even time to listen. Some don't want to other would like to but too much time at work doesn't allow you to connect properly with other people and auppprt them in their struggles So the only choice left is ti do as Chirin. Grow as robotic emotionless creature without a care in the world for people who are considered mere means to an end. Like psycopaths do in a way. How can you break this cycle? Because miserable people will try and make life miserable for others.
@@Unknown.Stranger you don’t have to be pessimistic not that’s it bad to be but it makes happy moments feel less significant, life is only what you make it so live
This movie I think is also about soldiers, or at least those driven to fight for their loved ones. The constraints of reality require a combatant to learn to be brutal, merciless, terrible. At some point, especially if witnessed in action, the one protecting people doesn’t look much different from any other blood soaked ravager. To be capable of effective violence, even if you wield it for their benefit, is to be held at arms distance from society. Also, he almost falls into the temptation to become the ravager. I think also it may have been a story of how asleep modern society is to the fact that violence is the universal currency, that which the entire world runs on. Our little lamb became wise to it, but the sheep (very intentional animal choice) ignore it at all costs, even to the point of being apathetic to its victims. Also there’s a bit in the wolf’s final monologue about living by the sword and dying by the sword Really just an incredibly layered story overall
I have not watched such a great movie in a long time, it reminded me of berserk for some reason. the narrators and the music are just perfect making this nostalgic feeling hit even harder. The wolf's last speech is well written and beautiful.
I love this and watched oit before anyways great movie and the lamb was inocent just because i mean comon he wasn't doing 5that to get reevnge on mother it' was to get revenge on wolf and asked him to train him so he can be stonger and then be protective to be a fierce and sweet ram familyAND PROTECT HIS MOM ETC. SO THATS VERY GREAT SAD BEAUTIFUL MOVIE UYESS!!:jJ
So sad, I just watched the English and original Japanese versions side by side. English version is much chattier during the montage scenes but the Japanese theme song is way darker and foreshadowing. Great movie!
In a world of monsters one either runs and hides or becomes a monster to fight monsters. Look at gaurs, elephants, gorillas, hell even dinos such as triceratopses. His transformation is sad to you but you have to factor in we dont live in heaven. We cannot be pacifists. We have to fight such is the way of the living.
Ringing Bell 1978 also came with Sanrio film Olly olly oxen free (Katherine Hepburn) and maybe a Popeye short (Alpine for you 1951) will cheer everyone up from the movie
I know I'm thinking too hard on this, but how do the other sheep not know what a ram looks like? Why are they terrified at the sight of their own kind? Each of the sheep has a lamb, which requires a ram to... You know. 😅 I mean, come on now. Unless the sheep herder was using ram jam in a syringe to impregnate his sheep, it seemed odd they thought a ram is a monster.🤔
Most of the male sheep on that farm were probably killed for their meat before they were old enough to become fully grown rams, While the females were kept for their wool
@@puterboy2 I'm sorry to say I've never heard of this Anakin guy. I just look at Chirin's mother, and I look at the one man army fight against the dogs, and I see a bit of Bambi, but more tragic.
Bruuuuuh……..is that wolf the same voice of darth malgus from the old republic cinematic trailers 😂 sounds like him when he’s trying to convince the padawan to give him the holocron to find her brother.
It's a ram (male sheep) with some artistic liberties. His horns should really curve back then forward at a lower position, but other than that, some hair sheep rams look fairly similar.
Poor Sheep! 😢😭🐑 We need to take her to a funeral Or we need to find a farmer Or we need to find someone with magic to heal her Or we need to take her to the vet
Single most traumatic childhood movie! So good though.

And the fact this was made by Sanrio is even creepier
Who is Sanrio?
@ΑμερικοςΒεσπουκιοςmade hello kitty
I love this and watched oit before anyways great movie and the lamb was inocent just because i mean comon he wasn't doing 5that to get reevnge on mother it' was to get revenge on wolf and asked him to train him so he can be stonger and then be protective to be a fierce and sweet ram familyAND PROTECT HIS MOM ETC. SO THATS VERY GREAT SAD BEAUTIFUL MOVIE UYESS!!:jJ
Are you uhm..dyslexic by any chance..?
So sad, I just watched the English and original Japanese versions side by side. English version is much chattier during the montage scenes but the Japanese theme song is way darker and foreshadowing. Great movie!
I think Takashi Yanase used a similar method when he wrote the lyrics of Anpanman.
I like to think chirin find another animal to be his friend
Its so sad for me when an innocent little lamb becomes a strong creepy ram demon-! It is sad really 😭
In a world of monsters one either runs and hides or becomes a monster to fight monsters. Look at gaurs, elephants, gorillas, hell even dinos such as triceratopses.
His transformation is sad to you but you have to factor in we dont live in heaven. We cannot be pacifists. We have to fight such is the way of the living.
Oh this happens regularly to you?
5:10 Chirin: “Did you see my summersault”? Me: You call that a summersault? You just bounced off a fence!
I think the lesson of this movie is, don't make choices you'll regret.
This is twisted, it’s sad, poor chirin, you can tell he regretted his decision in the end and just accepted his fate…
I’m sorry, 0:07 DOES THAT SAY SANRIO? AS IN, HELLO KITTY AND LITTLE TWIN STARS SANRIO?
Indeed my comrade indeed
I must say I have never seen Sanrio made a dark film
Just imagine having the Hello Kitty characters having Chirin in the group
Uhhh yeaaa kinda crazy RIGHTT?
35:35--36:21
Who you kidding? German shepherds? Come on, those are obviously great danes or something.
Maybe….
@@puterboy2
Sheesh. Well what do YOU think they are?
In the Japanese version it only says guardian dogs
Belgian Malinois.
@@alyssagross5360
😒 You gotta be kidding.
Ringing Bell 1978 also came with Sanrio film Olly olly oxen free (Katherine Hepburn)
and maybe a Popeye short (Alpine for you 1951) will cheer everyone up from the movie
Anyone here in 2024?
Yes 😁✨
Yes
Yes
That's good to know my friends😊🙃
Yes
“who’s your favourite sanrio character” The goat.
I must say the sheep are actually the villain of the movie
And to be honest they didn't even comfort him when he lost his mom or didn't even stop him when he ran away I felt like they all the worst
@@yoshifan3077 yup the sheep are the actual villain not Woe Plot twist
Can't believe they betrayed poor chirin...
Quem luta contra monstros deve acautelar-se para não se tornar um monstro também...
What a very sad story. 😢
I thought this would be like the lion king, but really it's more like Bambi. The wolf is basically his dad.
It’s more like both
He became the monster that he was destined to kill
cool movie
What I'm questioning rn is that if that sheeps head can break down a tree, how tf is a skin able to withstand it?
Woe's voice is kinda cool:333
I still can't believe that thing is supposed to be a ram. Looks more like a gazelle with front facing horns.
Was chirin copying the butterfly and mole foreshadowing his journey with the wolf
The wolf was the good guy....
I know I'm thinking too hard on this, but how do the other sheep not know what a ram looks like? Why are they terrified at the sight of their own kind? Each of the sheep has a lamb, which requires a ram to... You know. 😅 I mean, come on now. Unless the sheep herder was using ram jam in a syringe to impregnate his sheep, it seemed odd they thought a ram is a monster.🤔
They came in to kill all the sheep until he had a change of heart I think what they saw was a monster
Japanese philosophical portrayal in animation form.
I'll give credit to the English dub, it is faithful to the original story, given the time they released the English dub.
Is no one gonna question why Chirin is the only ram in this movie?
Its probably because hes the only male.
Most of the male sheep on that farm were probably killed for their meat before they were old enough to become fully grown rams,
While the females were kept for their wool
I thought it was because he became feral. Even though I don't think sheep do that like pigs do
Lost his mom his innocence than a father figure he might have fought happiness or maybe not glad i found his movie
An allegory for masculinity.
Not at all 🤦
@@fight4ourright306 You cannot see then. In time you will, once you got burned hard enough. Man must go his own way, and leave the herd behind.
36:17. 36:50
Anyone else kinda reminded of Bambi?
Not really, I think Chirin is more like Thorfinn from the Vinland Saga or Darth Vader.
@@puterboy2
Well....the dog fight seems similar.
@@evancredeur7498 What about Anakin, he turned to the dark side after losing his mom did, just like Chirin.
@@puterboy2
I'm sorry to say I've never heard of this Anakin guy. I just look at Chirin's mother, and I look at the one man army fight against the dogs, and I see a bit of Bambi, but more tragic.
@@evancredeur7498 Dude, you need to watch the Star Wars prequels.
I'm so scared
I am too, this movie is so sad and scary at the same time.
Song name in the movie does any one know
no sheep helped chirin after his mother dies..sheeps are assholes
Me: Chrin, I'm Afraid Your Mother Is Dead!
Chrin: No She's Not!
Criss Morris: It Is Chrin! I'm So Sorry!
13:30 😥😥😥😥😥
feel like I've been changed forever
Sad 😭
20:12 that’s a bad idea against a big animals
Chirin deserves to be powerful then the wolf. But he is not a monster...he is just a little lamb 😢
The song here I come now what's the funniest part of the song
Bruuuuuh……..is that wolf the same voice of darth malgus from the old republic cinematic trailers 😂 sounds like him when he’s trying to convince the padawan to give him the holocron to find her brother.
This was made by the creators of Sanrio I’m not kidding
And the creator of Anpanman.
The one who made hello kitty?
@@Geographical_EditZ12
Yes.
That's so unlike them! Wow
SANRIO FILM!
omg I luv Sanrio!!!
Anyone here in 2025?
Today
Me
Mee
Any time I watch this, I’m gonna be thinking of Malum’s YTP Movie, Crimson Lamb.
Wow, well that became dark
How'd he go from a sheep to a goat?
he's a male sheep, which is called a ram. rams grow horns
It's a ram (male sheep) with some artistic liberties. His horns should really curve back then forward at a lower position, but other than that, some hair sheep rams look fairly similar.
42:26 WOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Forever
Damn this makes me think about my mom
Did anyone wonder why there were no humans in the movie? Sheep need humans to shear them.
Pobre Chirin 😭
Why did he go to be trained by the one who killed his mother?
He followed the Sith Rule of Two: Train under the master, then kill him.
He think he is Thorfinn
@@nezztfrhn Nah, Anakin is more accurate.
He wanted to become strong so that he could kill the wolf who SLAUGHTERED his mother.
@@graysonleonard2012 yeah I figured that out.
Lil chirin is so cute
What if adult Chirin met Lamb Chop?
Terrible moment ever dude..
Who's lamb Chop?
@@ברמיכאלי-ש4ז old television show with sock puppets & ventriloquist Sherry Lewis
This is so familliar to me.... oh yeah. Zoros story
From One Piece.

The wolf was a true father
Even though he killed his mom

34:46 kid cudi??!?!?
basically thorfinn and askellad lol
YES, I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THINKING THAT
so this is original Vinland saga, huh
So, what’s the moral? Don’t follow a serial killer?
Is this the movie that inspired the first half of Vinland Saga?
Moral of the story: Dont kill your mom and dad.
@ He didn’t? He also prevented a serial killer from killing other parents, at least at the end of the movie.
Thorfin of The Vinland Saga XD
Beauty
funked out locced out
This happened to me 🥲
