1- Why Johan was acting like in Franz Bonaparta book ? & why johan doesn't want to have a name ? 

Hi, I plan on requesting this wiki for adoption. One of the requirements for adoption is community consent (or consent from the users who’ve edited in the past few weeks). I think that this wiki should have an active admin for proper maintenance. Please tell me your thoughts or if you’re interested in adopting the wiki yourselves, I’m ok with that too. Thanks!

Wow what a captivating show. I'm blown away. I'm just really pleased with it but now I don't know what I could watch to follow up such an amazing show.

I'm literally in a show hole. Any suggestions for something similar in terms of Captivating drama thriller?

I've seen Death Note already. Thanks for any suggestions guys!

So, finally I finished the series of Monster, and definently stands as a pinnacle series that Mr. Urasawa had created. I really enjoyed the anime as well which was quite loyal to the manga. I was thinking about reading the one off to this series, Another Monster. I heard that is just an investigative report of all the events that unfolded in the base series. I'm just curious wheter or not there would be new material in it and if you guys recommend it. Thanks.

Can you explain the psychological effects of each story in laymen terms?

Some bro on YouTube ripped audio that was never released in the official OSTS. Can someone do it again?

I am going to request for adoption for this wiki. I'm just letting it out there, because one of the requirements for adoption is to start a public discussion about it.

Through the series, it's hinted many times that Johan may have some sort of supernatural abilities, but in the end, nothing out of the ordinary was shown in concrete proof, not even speculated by the characters. It seems like Johan has at least, a certain power of mind control, or suggestion into other peoples thoughts. For a stretch, he may have the ability to see a bit near in the future, or to have knowledge of events happening in the present that he doesn't need to witness himself. I was quite surprised that there was no mention of anything like this in this forums.

A few things that suggest he may have such powers:

-Everytime Tenma had an opportunity to shoot him, he kinda looses his mind. In the library, Johan walked right past Tenma and Tenma was aiming at Schuwald and Anna without noticing.  He knows when Tenma is spying him (and looks right back at him).

-He makes children want to play a game of life and death at the roof of buildings.

-He made people commit suicide in suspicious manners (including the mass suicides and murders in Kinderheim 511).

-When he looks in the eyes of Schuwald, it seems Schuwald had a deep understanding of all about Johan.

-He makes his sister shoot him and it doesn't look like she was willing to do so. 

-The behaviour of Peter Jurgens makes me believe that he knew (or was convinced without need of proof) about Johan's more-than-human abilities. He also seems to have made Peter think that Johan actually looks like Tenma, and then Peter kills himself, in a very, very bizarre situation, apparently without reason.

-He makes several serial killers want to kill certain people, which he had merely written the names in sand, and these people are never the kind of people that these killers wanted to ever target.

-The dream Tenma has when he is sitting on the side of (adult) Johan's hospital bed during the coma, may as well be Johan talking to Tenma through mind powers.

It also looks that the gesture of putting his index finger on the center of his forehead may have something to do with it. In certain cases like Tenma not having the courage to shoot him, it may be sooorta reasonably explained that people hesitate in intimidation, due to Johan's calm posture, conviction, never changing expression and body language (or lack of) which is so confident and so unnatural, that it makes you doubt the reality of the situation.

I may have forgot other examples, wich you are invited to comment about, but I guess most important stuff is here. I watched the anime only, but it's quite close to the manga, so I don't think it matters too much. What do you think?

• Sorry for coppying it from adultswim.com, I am just too lazy to rewrite that all in other words x)*

So,

I finished reading AM about two months ago, but I managed to come up to a conclusion only a few days ago, and I was, actually, really amazed by it x) So, what do I think about all that mysterious novel: IT REVEALS TWINS' REAL NAMES.

Yeah, I know, it sounds a kind of crazy, but I have almost lost my sleep thinking about it :D

Everything began when I was finished with AM and I was almost sure that Hermann/Fritz was fantastically survived Jodaddy. The only reason, why I couldn't be sure of it for certain, is the lack of official information, confirming my guess-work. But, still, there were some things, that I couldn't understand: why did the athour decided to write the whole novel in addition to the main story and still left the most interesting things, like the twins' real names, untold??? And of course I was extremely dissapointed, coz he didn't allow Anna to say at least one little word Т^Т, when she was the only one who could know where the h*** did Johan go! >.< т_т On the other hand, at least, it was obvious, that Viera would name her children after her own twin(Anna) and her beloved(Jodaddy)

And then... all of a sudden... while I was thinking about the girl Bonaparta was in love with, and who later became the second wife of Terner Poppe... a girl, who loved him so much that she was ready to make a family with him despite the fact that "he was older than her enough to be her father", I was just like 'STOP'... could it mean, that she would name her son after her beloved, too!? О__О Coz she loved Terner sooooo muuuuuch??? And then, if Jodaddy's name was really Terner Poppe, then it would mean, that Johan's real name was Terner Poppe, too! I just can't think about anything else but it!!! O__O

If to speak about Nina's real name, I've got two variants: Anna Poppe or Anna Cerna (it is still not clear to me)

Sooo... that's what I wanted to say. Just thinking *and maybe thinking too much х)*

I've only seen the anime and haven't read the manga... but Johan's claim to have been responsible for the death of the three doctors never made sense to me.

They opened and ate from a sealed package of candy as a totally random act. There's no way he could have planned that ahead of time, or known that they specifically would eat from it. I find it more likely that their eating of the poisoned candy was an unplanned accident, and Johan was just trying to mess with Tenma's head by claiming to have done it on behalf of Tenma. In fact, I don't think Johan was the one who poisoned the candy at all, or even knew about it at the time.

Which brings me to the question of who was the intended target of the poisoned candy. It was in a sealed package which had been sent to Johan with all the other gifts from the public. The answer seems obvious to me: someone from Johan's past saw the news about the Lieberts, realized what happened, and was trying to poison Johan to finish him off (and perhaps Anna as well). My first guess would be Poppe, or perhaps someone else involved with 511 Kinderheim.

I there ! I am a very recent fan of Urasawa, and just finished Monster. I loved it so much, I'm seriously gonna read it again sometimes xD Since there's an anime too, it might be a way to dive again in this fantastic universe, but I am scared that it could be poorly done and therefore ruin my "monster" experience... ;P

Have you guys seen it ? Is it good ?

Thanx =)

The name Viera Černá implies a Slovak origin since that is their spelling. For a Czech spelling it should be Věra.

It is unclear her origin at least from the anime so at least the wiki page should have both names.
