In October of this year, there was a new development in the intimidation incident of the popular manga "Kuroko's Basketball". The prisoners sent threatening letters threatening to make a big move on "Xday" on November 4. Although nothing particularly unusual has been found so far, the prisoners have broken the silence for half a year and shifted their focus from the event venue to the sales of manga and snacks and other related companies. In this regard, the Sankei Shimbun recently wrote a special article, inviting experts from various industries to analyze the motives of the criminals. The prisoner's attachment to the comic and his own feelings for society were dissected.

"You're completely wrong. You definitely don't know about a scumbag like the old man. ”

Hirokazu Hasegawa, a clinical psychologist, wrote an article in this newspaper (Sankei Shimbun) on December 26 last year, analyzing the prisoner's motives as follows: "I think it is possible that the prisoner thinks that his favorite manga has been copied by "Kuroko's Basketball", which leads to hatred. However, the prisoner denied it in a recent threatening letter.

In this regard, Hasegawa pointed out: "It was precisely because the prisoner was told that he had the right purpose that he subjectively denied it. This is evident from the fact that at the end of the threatening letter, the prisoner writes "I decided to kill Kuroko" 108 times in a row. He also explained: "It is not the author that the prisoners hate, but the comics themselves. Because my favorite manga is overshadowed by the popularity of "Kuroko's Basketball", I feel unforgivable about it. ”

The inmates who sent the threatening letters used the pseudonyms "Strange Man 801 Face" and "Death in mourning clothes", while the stamp of the post office showed Saitama (October 15) and Hyogo (October 24), respectively. However, Hasegawa believes that this is a deliberate attempt by the culprit to create the illusion that "multiple people have committed crimes".

The Stranger 801 physiognomy is easily associated with the previous Morinaga incident, and there are traces of the use of the Kansai dialect. However, Hasegawa thinks that there is also a possibility that the prisoner wants to cover it up.

On the other hand, Professor Masayuki Kiryu (Criminal Psychology) of Kansai International University explained the threatening letter of the Strange Man 801's face: "This is a two-fold structure that divides the letter into two. On the whole, I think it reflects the mental fragility of the prisoners. Such an analysis.

He pointed out that in the first half of the paragraph, words that directly express intimidation, such as "to send toxic wafers", reflect "the prisoner's desire to prove that he has a mentality". Targeting popular manga and large corporations is also "an inferiority complex and anger towards society." Although the prisoners do not want to cause too much damage to society, they want to make society miserable. It's a love-hate stalker. ”

In the second half of the letter, Professor Kiryu notes that the prisoner "If I could do it all over again, I would like to be a manga artist", etc., and expresses his feelings about his situation. He analyzed: "This is the prisoner's true words. That kind of expression of weakness gives people the impression of cowardice in a sense. ”

In addition, the threatening letter also revealed that the "Grim Reaper in mourning clothes" came from Gunma, that "Strange Man 801 Physiognomy" lived in the Tokyo and Tama areas, that pesticides were purchased from Saitama, and that gasoline was purchased from Chiba. However, the professor stressed: "This is the desire of the prisoner to see the police and the media doing useless work in meaningless places, and to feel satisfied with this." ”

Regarding the age of the prisoner, both Hasegawa and Professor Kiryu believe that he was "in his 30s". And the manga that Hasegawa doguò liked the prisoner, the age of the prisoner should be more than 35 years old. And the fact that the prisoner sent a threatening letter by mail also indicates that "in a certain way, he should not be considered young." However, in this regard, Professor Kiryu believes that in the threatening letter, the prisoner used "uncle" to call himself in front of a female high school student, and from this point of view, it should be the same as the author Fujimaki Tadatoshi, before the age of 35.

In any case, the "Kuroko's Basketball" incident has lasted too long, and I sincerely hope that the Japanese police can give some strength and arrest the culprit as soon as possible.
