Evil Vanquisher...

No, I dunno whether there is a word like "vanquisher", but I'm almost certain there isn't. Whatever. Bear with the facts that yours truly ain't got an elaborate vocabulary to boast of, so there.

Recently, I started reading a Manga series entitled Akumetsu. The literal translation for that is the Evil Vanquisher. Nah, the Vanquisher doesn't go around killing vampires or weird monsters. But he does go on a killing spree of Japanese politicians who are corrupted and deemed evil by himself.

I think that's the biggest problem faced by the world today - corrupted politicians, who consequentially turn out equally corrupted governments. I can understand why the author came up with a story like that, albeit I'm none too keen on the world of fucked-up politics.

After all, I'm sure most of us out here have had a taste of the efficiency-deprived and probably fraudulent government. Don't be too sad, though, it happens everywhere in the world. It has become a disease most of us have begun to turn a blind eye to. Not that you could have done anything about it anyway.

Anyways, in the story, the Akumetsu kills off all the political big shots who do a great deal of dirty jobs with the taxpayers' dollars, on top of twisting the truth in order to legalize their evil deeds. They die gruesome deaths, I tell you.

One got a head burst with a flare gun. Another got his fingers fired off one by one before the Vanquisher finally showed his mercy and ended his misery. Some were burned alive while another was wedge-locked to the top of a Countach moving in high speed towards a half-built bridge. Needless to say, the poor guy was shattered to pieces with the vehicle before it exploded altogether. What a way to die!

The manga author must have tried killing the likes of these corrupted men a thousand million times in his dreams, I guess. Well, mangas have always mirrored what we can't do in reality, be it limited either by our mortality or the boundary of the laws.

The story might have sounded a bit extremist or even terroristic. But it's still the raw feeling and thought all of us humans experience, isn't it? If unrestricted, every single one of us would have got rid of any obstacles unlucky enough to be caught in our paths, eh?

Along with every killing, an Akumetsu will die too. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye. Therefore, it was a perfectly fair deal. Deeper into the tale, it was revealed that Akumetsus were actually clones in a super-human experiment. When one of them dies on a mission, the tribal mask they wear while completing their missions will self-destruct by exploding. The mask has a chip which was linked to the memory part of the brain, therefore, their total recollection til that final second would be trasmitted straight back to the next replacement clone in the lab.

Knowing these, you might think that it isn't fair after all, that the politicians have to die a total death whereas the Vanquishers may live on as clones. Well, perhaps you could try to remember that clones aren't machines or dolls without emotions or feelings. They are every bit as human as us, only their creator is not the Almighty God, if you have a belief, but us. We could very well be the creations that recreate, which is why human cloning is banned due to the question of ethics.

My point is, you won't think of 1+1=2 any less correct than what it should be if it's calculated by a calculator and not by human brain, rite?

Moreover, the Vanquisher clones did have their own lives prior to carrying out the mission. They went to school or work and even had to be scolded by the boss like you and me.

Something really needs to be done to the government of this country. Just look at how a certain ethnicity is given privileges even though they don't deserve it, if you ask me (and a whole lot of other people). And in contrast, how deprived the others are, of education, financial loans, etc.

This ethnicity in question can have rock bottom bad grades but still gain a place in prestigious education institutions, whereas others have to work twice as hard to get in even though their results and performance are a million times better. Talk about double standards. We are humans all the same, aren't we? So treat us equally!

That same ethnic group could even purchase properties at much lower prices than the others because the government says they are the native race of this country. Bullshit! You could say that if all the others were not born and bred here. But they are! Aren't we all your countrymen just the same?

And the willful government still has the guts to grumble about us not being patriotic and loyal enough to the country. What fools would pledge loyalty to a country that does not recognize their value as a people?

I suspect the people governing our country had been abducted by aliens from a faraway planet and stuffed with bullshit in their pathetic brains.
