We unpack the infamous cruelty it portrays, from the shocking puppy scene that IS worse than JoJo’s, to the unsettling relationship between Midori and the magician dwarf who manipulates her. More than just shock value, we explore how these grotesque depictions reflect exploitation, trauma, and the limits of storytelling in extreme art. Check us out on our website:
