Violence, while its form will change greatly with time and place, may always be a necessity in the meeting of beings.

Psycho-Pass, the all-time great anime from Gen Urobuchi (Fate/Zero, Madoka Magica), is about society with Akane, free will with Kogami and Makishima, and the value of human beings with the Inspectors, Enforcers, and all alike, however included in this is also violence, with the Dominators enacting the Sibyl System’s will. Psycho-Pass presents a society under Sibyl which is seemingly ultra peaceful, but can a society ever be free of conflict, or is such a thing always a dangerous lie? Let’s analyze Urobuchi’s classic in this video essay and see what we can learn (again!)

Jormungand, often compared to Black Lagoon, is of course discussing violence with the anime’s aggressive use of weapons and war. Jormungand follows Koko Hekmatyar, an arms dealer, and her bodyguards, mostly Jonah, as they both inflame conflict… and also prolong peace. Koko is a character showcasing human duality, as she sells weapons with the goal of peace, allowing someone who hates all weapons like Jonah to follow her. But with people like her brother Kasper who have no such moral objection to weapons and war, could this arms dealer truly provide world peace?

Vinland Saga, through Thors, Thorfiinn, Canute and more, discusses a much more brutal form of violence with its viking action. Whether they leave it like Thors, enter it like Thorfinn, or control it like Canute, this brutal nature touches every life in this viking world. Vinland Saga explains just how hard a path of peace can be in extreme detail, but analysis quickly reveals that the violent path, while simpler, can only ever lead to a worse future. And so, “the path of a true warrior” becomes one of peace; fighting against every single day.

A video essay analyzing and explaining the necessity of violence across three anime (Psycho-Pass, Jormungand [& Perfect Order], & Vinland Saga [Seasons 1 & 2])

Violence is like a fire, you'll hate it when it burns your house down but you'll cry for it in the dead of winter

The fact of the matter is that violence as a baseline option must exist for you to be able to pass any kind of nonviolent negotiation. If you aren't willing to get violent over what you believe to be the right thing to do, nobody has any reason whatsoever to compromise with you. If all you do is lay down and roll over when someone with more conviction than you deprives you of what you think should happen, you are not capable of negotiating.

Being comfortable around violence and understanding the gravity behind it. You learn to humble yourself around it and try you best to prevent it. But you will also know how to properly react when you experience it.

Violence is the ultimate authority from which all authority is derived. It be like that sometimes.

Where words fail violence prevails. If you believe in something you'll be more then happy to fight for it

I feel like a large part of what makes phycopass so potent is that historically classes where always sent to deal with eachother. The poor will be sent to fight the poor.

I think the best quote I've seen on the subject was from Bleach. "The Third Company's flower is a kinsenka the marigold. It symbolizes despair. Its also the symbol of our confidence and pride. Fighting isn't heroic. Its not meant to be exhilarating. Violence should only bring despair. Its dark, and terrifying. It must remain gruesome. Otherwise people won't fear it...and try to avoid it." ~Izuru Kira, Bleach Violence isn't a game. It is necessary, but, its also necessary for everyone to treat it with the gravity it deserves.

If I may pull from another classic, Samurai Champloo, "One should not carry a sword if one is not able and willing to use it." This constitutes two separate disciplines when it comes to how one should approach violence: The capacity to bestow violence upon one's enemy and the wisdom of when to and when not to. One is a discipline of the body. The other is a discipline of the mind. You need both to develop a warrior mentality.

If you're not allowed or able or willing to commit some degree of violence, you cannot say you are treated as a human.

It IS necessary, to the point where it is a part of our nature. It IS human to be violent. Whether we like it or not, we are violent, and violence shapes us along with what we do when in violent situations.

Captivating video throughout; well done! Appreciate you making points by inferring and extrapolating rather than just summarizing a series' points.

Robert Heinlein has a good quote for this: "Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived." If you dont have power, if you dont have the capacity for violence, you can accomplish nothing. You’ll be treaded all over by the people who are willing to commit violence. And so if you want peace, if you want to be left alone, you have to demonstrate that you are not an easy target to attack. Reading Vinland Saga, I was getting frustrated by Thorfinn's uncompromising pacifism. I would think of moments where it would have been better if he did use more non lethal violence to let them know to take him more seriously. But watching the second season with my memories of the manga, I was pleasantly surprised to know that it wasn’t as black and white as I remembered. He uses violence as a last resort and doesn’t outright refuse to do so. He needs to use that supreme authority to ensure people will listen and hold a dialogue to reach an ultimately peaceful resolution to conflict.
