Side eye...
So the only real issue I have with this movie really is the implications of it. The older I get, the more irritated I become with media having irresponsible messaging and this could totally be me having missed something or not understanding.
There is NO consequence for Yoda's actions. None. He kidnapped, tortured, violated and repeatedly raped katsuguri and NOTHING happened to him. In fact, the story is told in such a way that you're supposed to PITY him and feel bad!!
Let's be clear, there is NO excuse for what Yoda did and I don't care what state katsuguri was in. My problem is that the story implies that this behavior is fine if you have enough trauma and you choose "the right" target which is insane.
Overall the movie itself was fine but the undertone is absolutely terrible.
