2021-10-03 "If Golgo 13 belongs to an organization (such as the United Nations or Japan's Self-Defense Forces) and pledges allegiance to that organization..." [長年日記]

Mr. Takao Saito, the author of "Golgo 13", has passed away.

My deepest condolences to him and his family.

By the way, I have heard that Golgo 13 was not well received in the U.S.

I think the reason was that he was 'not a hero of justice'.

"What a good-natured...and righteous...people the American people are.

I thought it.

Or rather...

"Whose justice is that?"

I wanted to ask it them.

-----

Golgo 13 gave me

"Justice is a relative concept, there is no such thing as 'absolute justice'"

I think this is a philosophy book that has taught me since I was a teenager that

So, in my case, one more turn,

"I don't care about other people's justice. I can live my life thinking only of my own (convenient) justice."

This is the opposite of cosmopolitanism, and it is my world view that I have perfected to this day.

-----

I heard that Golgo 13 will continue to be serialized in the future.

In other words, there is a successor (creator) who inherits the spirit of Golgo 13 -- the absolute denial of universal justice.

I hope that Golgo 13 will continue to live forever as a "lone terrorist" as he has always been.

-----

"If Golgo 13 belongs to an organization (such as the United Nations or Japan's Self-Defense Forces) and pledges allegiance to that organization..."

I mean, if he turns into a character like that...

I'm prepared to say, "I'm going to launch a suicide bombing attack on that publishing company.
