I had not heard that particular proverb before, but similar ones, and they're so true. Another interesting and sad story, and a great video. Thanks, Kenji :)
The fact that he killed his grandmother, not because he hated her, but because he didn’t want her to be shunned like he was for something she didn’t even do is really sad. Shows that although he was an awful killer he still had some remorse in him. Also shows that maybe if the village hadn’t shunned him for a disease things could have turned out way different. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems in Japan family members of people who do bad things get a lot of extra criticism compared to the west. Unfortunate
Psychopath with a lack of empathy caused by his sad lonely upbringing childhood, illness, and the love he couldn't get. Sir, was this tragic historical factual story ever made into a movie? Thank you.
The Wiki article lists the the 1983 film, Ushimitsu no mura, or in English the title is “Village of Doom.” It’s the only one I can tell is pretty darn close, but they still change his name in it (Tsugio Inumaru instead of Mutsuo Toi). It also lists 4 other films but with little information. From what I can tell, the 1969 film Fukushûki uses his story as the background but then adds more horror to humanize him. For instance, the villagers try to beat him to death and they SA his sister who takes her own life after. Then there’s three films listed called the 8-Tomb Village, released in 1952, 1977 and 1996. I’m guessing they’re remakes but they seem based off a book and any article is pure Japanese, so it doesn’t translate properly at all.
Yes. I mentioned this to Kenji in the past (he said he already had it planned, so this video probably wasn't directly from me), and I said it was made into a film. The commenter above me also has already explained, though. You can see stills and clips from the movie in the video itself, actually
Anyway, my ex-wife (because dead now) caught TB (tuberculosis) too, but not the reason why she died. At School in Ireland, she pretended she was sick because TB injection day, so guess what? 😢
Also suggestion: you were very clear about making it known a higher causality mass murder has since taken place. But technically your title can reflect that he is still responsible for the most deaths by a lone gunman in Japan.
@@tonton-qv8wo yup. Arson. Not gunman. EDIT: I just checked. Shinji Aoba only used an 11 gallon gas canister and a lighter. No gun. Mutsuo is still responsible for the most taken by gun that wasn’t due to war.
@@OfftheWallTalesAs far as I've researched, the word "lone gunman" doesn't just literally mean a gunman, but it also has the connotations of being a lone wolf or someone who commits a crime alone. At least in Google Translate, "lone gunman" is translated to mean a criminal who commits a crime alone. And you said "lone" gunman, not just gunman, so I just assumed from the context that you were referring to the deadliest incident caused by a single perpetrator. That's why I said that the incident involving a single perpetrator that caused the most casualties in Japan was the Kyoto Animation incident. I'm sorry if my translation is wrong and I misinterpreted "lone gunman".
if a baby loses their parents at the age of 2 that will have terrible effects on the psyche, along with his physical disabilities + being shunned by everyone would have, and in this case did have catastrophic effects on the psyche
@@tinybedI wonder if Jonasdinis3323 knows that lack of empathy is sort of a bit psychopathic? Anyhow, it would be very strange if everyone had the exact same mental strength, only because some persons can go through hell without going gaga, it doesn't make it strange that it also can tip some other persons over edge.
@@tinybed Yes its an excuse, and it makes absolutely no sense to kill inocent people just because you have mental disabilities. My life was absolute garbage and i would never in my life hurt someone and i know people that went through way worst shit than this guy and became good people with age, like being raped or almost killed by their parents.
Long, but the questions made me think. He was a psychopath but in a 1938 lens, you can understand it MUCH better than if it happened today. (I explain more below.) And regarding the kids vs elderly, it reminds me of the 3 generation rule in North Korea: kids are just an extension of their parent, so if the parent wronged him, surely the kid would've done the same and deserves the same. But the elderly individual chose on their own how to treat him. If I was a villager I would've stayed away. TB was a death sentence in places where you could go to the doctor. In a rural farming community, you couldn't be sent off for months of rest as that meant everyone else had to do more work to pick up your slack. Him getting treatment would've meant his grandmother starved, just like if he got further education. So of course the villagers kept their distance. (Even today you're contagious, with medication, for 2-3 weeks.) And breaking over the army? When your emperor is seen as holy and tells you it's better to die for him than live under another's command, imagine how hard it'd be to accept staying home and doing nothing but farming. His disability wasn't even visible. So he was hearing the top person tell him to go die for Japan, and then being barred from it. We saw 14 year olds serving in Western countries. Of course it would hit a 20 year old from Japan even worse. So all the components for a serial killer were there. His family turned on him, forcing him into poverty. His village turned on him. His country seemed to turn on him. His actions 100% were his own doing but the reason for a mental break can be traced.
Finally a story that's not covered by other channels...

God… this is tragic- it’s horrible at what these diseases did to these people back then. Glad there’s cures now

@@mononoaware4932 I hate movies especially from Hollywood exploding the horror more, to make profit from a sad situation.

I am very sorry to hear that, sir.
I think a lot is at play here, deep-seeded trauma I think is the biggest reason, plus the societal strain he was going through.

most people go through shit and dont do massacres, being discriminated is no excuse
