Four-Temperament Ensemble: Kumatetsu (Choleric), Ren/Kyuta (Melancholic), Tatara (Sanguine), and Hyakshubou (Phlegmatic). Yano herself is really quite the interesting character. She seems to be heavily autistic coded, as she has an irregular speech pattern, is often told she is "making the wrong face at the wrong time" (a part of her character is that she always seems to be "smugly smiling," we find out later she apparently only does this when she is afraid :c ), and told that she "can't/doesn't read the room." I really liked her character as she's a lot smarter than people think, imaginative, and brave. Fantastic Racism: The beasts look down on humans because they can easily be corrupted by the darkness in their hearts.

Yep itu kutipan gak salah tulis. Itu diucapkan sama Yano. Meski gak diulas lebih dalam, aku rasa Yano ini autis. Dia kerap ga bisa baca suasana, agak gak tanggap, dan gaya bicaranya juga beda (terlihat dari penulisan dialog Yano). Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kumatetsu is red, Ren/Kyuta is blue, though the latter is associated more with white. Kumatetsu could also be considered red to Iouzen's blue. His two children, Jiroumaru (red) and Ichirouhiko (blue) contrast each other like this as well.Battle Discretion Shot: The scene where Kyuta beats up the delinquents to rescue Kaede happens offscreen. buku Sumino Yoru pertama yang aku baca. di Indonesia sendiri, karyanya udah terbit beberapa. hal pertama yang aku rasakan selama membacanya adalah : ini aneh. khas literatur jepang. tapi aku suka. Also, there is a girl named Yano, who is very energetic in his class. Unfortunately, she got bullied because of her little bit of lousy noise, also some of the classmates think of her as a "strange person". She greets the classroom every morning with a playful voice but no one answers to her. Also, no one talks to her, and some serious bulliers even throw her books or shoes in the garbage box.

Defeat Means Friendship: Jiroumaru becomes friendly to Kyuta almost immediately once Kyuta has become strong enough to beat him, since he likes strong people. Banyak cerita sedih yang digambarkan (juga dengan kalimat penuh makna yang indah) sehingga aku tidak bisa lagi menahan tangis, terutama saat Yano bertanya pada Achi, "Your night... form or your day form... Which is... the real one?" Attempted by Kyuta at the end of the film. His final option to fight a berserk Ichirouhiko was to open his own void, absorbing Ichirouhiko in the process. He would then stab himself, thus taking both of their lives. However... Yang paling kusukai darinya adalah kenyataan bahwa baik manusia ataupun monster, jika mereka pada dasarnya berhati jahat, maka mereka jahat. Pun sebaliknya, jika mereka berhati baik, maka mereka baik (walaupun aku tidak tau apakah monster juga punya hati).Raised by Wolves: Well, a humanoid bear with some help from a pig and a monkey, but still. It turns out that Ichirouhiko is actually a human that Iouzen found abandoned as a baby and raised as his own. Pada siang hari, Adachi adalah siswa biasa. Pada malam hari, dia adalah makhluk menakutkan dengan banyak mata dan banyak kaki yang bersembunyi di kegelapan. Curb-Stomp Battle: After a little training, Kyuta easily defeats a gang of beast bullies and earns their respect. In the human world, he takes down the delinquent boys who were ridiculing Kaede with little effort. dengan sedikit balutan realisme magis, kita diajak mengenali isu perundungan dengan cara dan sudut pandang yang berbeda. lewat sudut pandang tokoh utamanya, kita akan diajak memikirkan tentang pencarian jati diri anak SMP. jadi isu perundungan disini bukan dari karakter yang dirundung, melainkan dari karakter yang diem aja dan gak ngasi reaksi langsung. malahan tokoh yg dirundung sama sekali tidak menunjukkan reaksi tertekan ataupun hal negatif lainnya, malahan dia happy dan lebih menunjukkan reaksi yang aneh.
