[Roundup] Ep.#2 Redeye Reprisal【総括】百鬼夜行

While the fairy tale “Momotaro” is the motif, it is also a satire that depicts people’s prejudice against “demons” or an appearance.(説話『桃太郎』がモチーフでありながら、『鬼』や見た目に対する人々の偏見を描く風刺でもあります。)

Ep.#2 Review | 感想

サムライチャンプルー #2 百鬼夜行


It was an episode with many suggestions, such as a black kite, a butterfly, and fireflies.

鳶に蝶に蛍にと暗示の多い回でした。


I felt that the script was created in every detail.

細かいところまで脚本が作り込まれているなぁと感じました。


I can’t say it’s the original material, but at the end, I’ll make a note of two past murders associated with the character of Oniwakamaru.

元ネタとまでは言えませんが、鬼若丸のキャラクターから連想する過去の殺人事件を2つメモしておきます。

Tsuyama massacre | 津山事件

出典:『津山事件』Wikipedia


In the past, there was a horrific mass murder in a small Japanese settlement.

過去かこに、日本にほんのあるちいさな集落しゅうらく凄惨せいさん大量たいりょう殺人さつじん事件じけんがありました。


The case in which 28 people died and 5 people were seriously or slightly injured in less than two hours is called the “Tsuyama case”.

わずか2時間じかんらずのあいだに28めい死亡しぼうし、5めい重軽傷じゅうけいしょうったその事件じけんは、『津山つやま事件じけん』とよばれています。


On May 21, 1938, in a village in Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture, a 21-year-old man killed the villagers one after another with an ax, a gun, and a Japanese sword.

昭和しょうわ13ねん5月ごがつ21にち岡山おかやまけん津山つやま集落しゅうらくで、21さいおとこおのじゅう日本刀にっぽんとう集落しゅうらく住人じゅうにん次々つぎつぎ殺害さつがいしました。


Since the man committed suicide after the crime and many of the victims died, many of the circumstances leading up to the incident remain a mystery,.

犯行はんこうおとこ自殺じさつし、被害ひがいしゃおおくもくなってしまったため、事件じけんいたった経緯けいいおおくがなぞのままとなっています。


There is a sentence in the suicide note, “I cried for the cold-heartedness and oppression of society for four years.”

遺書いしょなかに「病気びょうきよん年間ねんかん社会しゃかい冷胆圧迫あっぱくにはまことにいた」という一文いちぶんがあります。


* “冷胆” seems to be a typographical error of “冷淡(coldness)”

※『冷胆』は『冷淡れいたん』の誤字ごじおもわれます。

Oni-kuma case | 鬼熊事件

出典:『鬼熊事件』Wikipedia


On August 20, 1926, in a village in Chiba prefecture, a 34-year-old man murdered a man who was a boyfriend of a woman with an intimate relationship and also murdered a man of the storekeeper where the woman worked.

大正たいしょう15ねん8月はちがつ20にち千葉ちばけんのあるむらで、34さいおとこが、したしくしていた女性じょせい交際こうさい相手あいて男性だんせいと、女性じょせいはたらいていたみせ店主てんしゅ殺害さつがい


The following month, on September 11, he killed a police officer who was on patrol.

翌月よくげつ9月くがつ11にちには巡回じゅんかいちゅう警察官けいさつかん殺害さつがいしました。


The criminal man was unexpectedly loved by the villagers, but on the contrary, it is said that the women on the victim’s side and the storekeepers of the shops where the women worked were not so much liked by the villagers.

犯人はんにんおとこは、意外いがいにも村人むらびとからしたわれていましたが、ぎゃく被害ひがいしゃがわ女性じょせい女性じょせいはたらいていたみせ店主てんしゅ村人むらびとたちからあまりかれていなかったとされています。


As proof of that, some of the villagers hid the criminal man from the hands of the police.

その裏付うらづけとして、村人むらびとなか一部いちぶ警察けいさつから犯人はんにんおとこをかくまっていました。


The criminal man committed suicide in front of acquaintances and a newspaper reporter who came to the interview.

犯人はんにんおとこは、取材しゅざい新聞しんぶん記者きしゃ知人ちじんまえ自殺じさつしました。


This case is called the “Onikuma case”.

この事件じけんは、『おにくま事件じけん』とよばれています。
