Tear Jerker / Kafka on the Shore

Go To

  • One of the stories brought up during Oshima and Kafka's Astral Projection discussion involves two samurai who pledged to meet each other on a certain day. Things went wrong and one of them ended up imprisoned when the day came...so he committed seppuku just to be able to meet his blood brother.
  • Nakata's death.
  • Nakata’s situation is definitely sad. He managed to really luck out, finding a furniture job he was good at despite his disability and managing to live relatively comfortably, but there’s no denying that he was a bright young mind who was robbed of his future by supernatural events outside his control.
