Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 448: The psychological battle between Yusaku Kudo and Eri Kisaki – a chilling and multifaceted twist.

A meticulous film critic suddenly remembered that a spider web had appeared at the beginning of the film.

It suddenly dawned on me.

It turns out that Takeshi Ono had already used metaphors to set the tone and theme of the entire film from the very beginning.

This is a typical example of audiovisual language, used as a metaphor in this story: someone is weaving a net to catch prey.

Haruki Ito captures Kawaguchi Muko, and Rei Kujo captures Haruki Ito.

The first half of the story is a game of strategy between the hunters.

Haruki Ito concealed his true feelings with an honest, decadent, and desperate expression as he made his final move.

It is worth mentioning that Haruki Ito's disguised image is consistent with his self-proclaimed image as a small-town youth and an honest and innocent diving instructor.

In other words, if Haruki Ito hadn't become a gambling addict, he would have perceived himself as such.

Meanwhile, Kujo Rei laid out various routes to gradually hunt down Ito Haruki.

By the time the fake hospital was established, the latter had completely lost the initiative.

Thus, Haruki Ito shed his honest man persona and began to embrace his true image as a gambling addict, becoming completely corrupted.

The wild beast image that follows is a continuation of the true image of the gambling addict and murderer.

Then, Kujou Rei and the others attempted to break Ito Haruki's will by shaving his head, a highly humiliating method.

Haruki Ito screamed in despair, shed tears of humiliation, and even looked truly heartbroken.

However, Kujou Rei underestimated his willpower.

The fact that Haruki Ito could persistently send messages to Kiko Kawaguchi, who received no reply, for a whole month despite being penniless and burdened with gambling debts shows that his endurance is something to be proud of.

Thus, Kujo Rei wove a web of lies like a spider, deceiving Ito Haruki into believing that they were both desperate, that she was wanted by the police, and that Ito Haruki was facing a lobotomy, implying that they were in the same boat.

The only way out is to find Kawaguchi Moko and force Ito Haruki to reveal her whereabouts.

The two sides engaged in a final psychological battle.

Haruki Ito has consistently maintained that he does not know where Kiko Kawaguchi is.

First round, failed.

Kujo Rei further pointed out that two diving suits were borrowed, indicating that Ito Haruki was lying.

This included luring Kawaguchi Kiko to the beach, pretending to be drunk in a bar and jumping out of the window, taking her scuba diving for over 80 minutes, only to return alone in the end, and burning the equipment and phone to create a false alibi.

In the second round, Haruki Ito still refused to admit it.

Kujo Rei lays her cards on the table, revealing that there is evidence in the diving watch. Ito Haruki finally begins to soften, recalling for the third time how he meticulously pursued Kawaguchi Kiko.

In the third round, they still refused to reveal where Kawaguchi Kiko was.

Finally, in the fourth round of the competition, Kujo Rei used a countdown and other means such as someone knocking on the door from the outside to undermine and defeat Haruki Ito's will.

In these rounds of confrontation, Haruki Ito became increasingly agitated, seemingly reaching a dead end with his psychological defenses crumbling, yet he never broke down.

It's actually quite difficult to show a progression in the control of these emotions, but Yusaku Kudo managed to create a step-like emotional shift.

Thanks to the outstanding acting skills of Eri Kisaki and Yusaku Kudo, the battle between the two is exciting and highly engaging, causing the audience's emotions to rise and fall uncontrollably.

In the end, Haruki Ito, who loved himself above all else, finally had his defenses broken down under the pressure of danger.

This also means that in this contest between hunter and prey, he lost, and lost miserably!
At this point, he was trapped in the web and powerless to turn the tide!
At the last moment, pale-faced Haruki Ito could not withstand the pressure and finally revealed Kiko Kawaguchi's whereabouts.

"She's at the Mosha Lighthouse!"

His psychological defenses completely collapsed, and he confessed everything, admitting that he had deliberately planned and killed Kawaguchi Kiko and dumped her body at the bottom of the sea.

"Scumbag!"

The audience was immediately filled with righteous indignation and began to curse Haruki Ito, their impression of him plummeting.

All the sympathy I felt just moments before has turned into gnashing hatred!

He actually murdered his own wife for profit; he's worse than a pig or a dog!
and many more!

This scene feels strangely familiar...

Recalling the real-life case of Haruki Toriumi, everyone suddenly realized that Takeshi Ono was indeed just trying to ride the coattails of a trending topic!

But... great opportunity!

If it were a bad movie trying to ride the wave of popularity, they would definitely curse it out, but "The Vanished" has a wonderful plot with constant twists and turns, keeping viewers so engrossed that they don't even have time to go to the bathroom. They can only praise it.

What's wrong with rubbing against each other?
It won't hurt you to rub it a couple of times!
Others began to wonder if there was a deeper meaning behind Takeshi Oni's decision to make this film.
However, the audience quickly forgot all about that; the shocking plot twist that followed left them completely dumbfounded...

……

"You just left her there all alone like that..."

Looking at the beastly man before her, Kujou Rei's eyes were filled with hatred and heartache.

She hated the man's viciousness and ruthlessness, which had killed her best friend. Just thinking about Kawaguchi Kiko drifting alone in the cold sea made Kujo Rei's heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe.

"asshole!"

She wanted to kill Ito Haruki on the spot, but fortunately her remaining rationality allowed her to restrain her impulse. Now that she finally knew Kawaguchi Kiko's whereabouts, as long as her body was found, Ito Haruki would be doomed!
Not only does the character Rei Kujo in the film despise Haruki Ito, but viewers outside the film also feel the same way. His actions have truly crossed the line of public morality!

The thought that they had just felt sympathy for such a guy made everyone feel disgusted.

"This guy is a disgrace to people with the surname Ito!"

Makoto Ito spat angrily.

As a man, you can be a jerk, but you can't be without principles!

As a compassionate man, Makoto Ito despises Haruki Ito from the bottom of his heart.

Vodka clenched his fists with a gloomy face, pondering whether he should secretly find an opportunity to beat up Kudo Yusaku.

This guy's acting is so annoying, even an organization cadre like him makes my teeth itch.

Yusaku Kudo, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly felt a chill for no apparent reason.

"Hehe!" Yukiko Kudo chuckled, her eyes crinkling with a teasing smile, "Honey, have you never experienced being scolded by so many people at once?"

Yusaku Kudo awkwardly touched his nose.

How could he not hear the curses from the audience behind him?
But to be honest, even he himself deeply loathed the character of Haruki Ito.

As a model husband who loves his wife, he wouldn't have played such a scoundrel if it weren't to help Haruki Toriumi get the punishment he deserved!
Not far from the two, best friends Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki watched the suffering Rei Kujo on the screen and felt the same way.

The two couldn't help but wonder what they would do if something like this happened to Ran/Sonoko.

A chilling glint immediately flashed in Ran Mouri's eyes.

"I'll kick someone's head off if they dare hurt Sonoko!"

Sonoko Suzuki's gaze was equally hostile, and she secretly made a vow in her heart.

"If anything really happens to Xiaolan, I'll issue a global manhunt! Hmm, I wonder if a 100 billion bounty will be enough..."

The two looked at each other simultaneously, their gazes exceptionally firm.

In the scene, after much effort, Kujou Rei finally learned Kawaguchi Kiko's whereabouts from Ito Haruki. At this moment, she stopped pretending and didn't even look at this disgusting man again before rushing out.

In this scene, Eri Kisaki displayed extraordinary acting skills, whether it was the sense of urgency she created when she was constantly pressuring Haruki Ito and putting psychological pressure on him, or the way she turned away while suppressing her grief and anxiety and pretending to be strong.

Everything was handled perfectly.

In the following long shot, she was already crying her eyes out, but she stubbornly wiped away her tears, instantly conveying her regret and heartache for her friend, and even the relief she felt after the truth came out.

When filming began, even Takeshi Ono didn't expect her to have such acting skills, almost on par with actress Yukiko Kudo.

The two princesses of Teitan truly lived up to their reputation.

However, Yusaku Kudo is equally impressive, with commendable acting skills, perhaps even surpassing Kudo's.

When his head was shaved on the operating table earlier, Yusaku Kudo's eyes widened, his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and his screams were filled with despair and fear.

It makes the audience feel both horrified and unable to help but sympathize with this man who is consumed by his own desires.

The precision of this performance far surpasses the performance level of typical commercial films, and even evokes the manic state of Joaquin Phoenix in "Joker".

Based on this performance alone, Yusaku Kudo has the ability to compete for the Best Actor award!

Takeshi Ono even jokingly remarked that he was an actor whose acting career was delayed by writing.

On the big screen, the story continues.

Seeing Kujou Rei leave directly, Ito Haruki was stunned. Didn't you promise to save me? I told you everything and you just abandoned me and ran away?

A flash of resentment crossed his eyes. That hateful woman!

It's better to rely on yourself than on others. In the end, after a desperate struggle, Haruki Ito finally broke free of his restraints and stumbled towards the door, eager to escape.

The audience was immediately indignant; how could they let this beast get away?
However, the most intense scene of the entire series unfolds the next second—

Haruki Ito rushed out of the operating room, only to be shocked to find that the outside was not a hospital, but an abandoned factory, the lair of the organization they had previously found.

what happened?

Haruki Ito was filled with doubt and surprise.

The bad feeling in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

Without time to think it through, he hurriedly tried to find a way out and escape.

however--

The moment he pushed open the door, a group of people suddenly appeared before him.

Rei Kujo, Kengo Akechi, the fake Kiko Kawaguchi, the foreign assassins who once hunted them down, the doctor and nurse from just now...

People who had had in-depth contact or only met him once, whether familiar or unfamiliar, friends or enemies, suddenly gathered together, arms crossed, looking at him with cold smiles.

Looking at those faces that had appeared in various forms before, yet now maintained the same indifferent expression, not only Haruki Ito, but also the audience was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a jolt of electricity shooting from my tailbone straight to the top of my head, and my hair stood on end and my scalp tingled!

I even felt a chill run down my spine!

Everyone suddenly realized!
