* CompleteMonster: Nakata encounters [[HumanoidAbomination Johnnie Walker]], who may be his absentee father. A man who knows the magic of [[CatsAreMagic sapient cats]], Walker agonizingly murders them, cutting them open to [[YourSoulIsMine extract their souls]] which he stitches together to make a magic flute. Intending on using this flute to kill humans to make an even bigger flute, Johnnie Walker doesn't intend to stop until he has perhaps [[OmnicidalManiac wiped out all that lives]], using his planned death to hitch a ride in Nakata's body so he can reach the magic "Entrance Stone" to perhaps threaten all the world.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Very popular in Vietnam, to the point that in conversation "Kafka-esque" is more likely to be referring to this book and not Creator/FranzKafka.

Bring any potential Complete Monster examples to the cleanup thread.


* CompleteMonster: Johnnie Walker - mutilator of cats (and he says that the cats are paralysed [[AndImustScream but can feel everything he does to them]], and that the pain is "necessary"), manipulates Nakata into committing murder and it's strongly implied he's [[spoiler: Kafka's father, who told him over and over again he would kill him and then have sex with his mother and sister. From when he was a kid.]] ''Jesus.''

* FridgeLogic: Borders on WMG due to the nature of the book, but on a second reading once can infer the following; [[spoiler: Kafka's dad? Johnnie Walker. Whether he was born/created as Johnnie and hid it well, or Johnnie took over his body recently is anyone’s guess.]]
