He's not saying "man has forgotten fear" he says that man averts its eyes from the things its fears (in the case he is talking about the truth of Paradigm and their pasts). He is telling people to face their fear by uncovering/listening to the truth that Schwarzwald has uncovered. By saying his gift is fear, he is simply saying his gift is knowledge considering the citizens of Paradigm fear the truth thus fearing knowledge.

Schwartzwald figured out they are all android actors. Notice he always had a half robot looking face when his face was covered you could see his robotic eye. . Then remember what speakeasy guy says at the beginning of the last episode. Roger the wanderer, he for some reason feels that Angel is making him act out a role and he jokes what the next script will be. And I could point out more things, vut fast forward to the last episode. Roger sinking in the sea, and what does he see, a bright light, a series of “memories”, and what is shown? Multiple Roger Smith androids being mass produced and Roger shouts “No!!” as he begins to realize the truth. Anyways, yeah. It is a stage Angel seems to be making a novel and in Angel’s world they can setup simulated realities with android things (what Roger and basically everyone in this show was, they just were meant not to know). When the world is disappearing at the ending, because of big venus aka angel I believe this is because she keeps deleting her progress in her story and wanting to start over, and that is what Roger is there to negotiate for on behalf of old man Rosewater and he pleads with Angel to let them stay the way they are and not erase everything again as she was already actively doing. Best way I can explain it in this comment, anyways enjoy this mega spoiler aka explanation of the story behind the events of this show. Oh and the book itself that “Big O” takes place within is that Metropolis book old man Rosewater was holding.
@johndeska12 жыл бұрын
Two year old comment, but I don't think he had a robotic eye. Yes, it is a metallic plate over the left side of his face, but in the first episode he is introduced, after he gets burned, there is a brief shot of him with the "robot eye" broken, which shows his normal eye underneath it. I think he found it and put over his face as a monocle of sorts or to further his message of the truth.
@coopisgod1310 жыл бұрын
Even without the events of 40 years ago, I think man would still be a creature that fears the dark. He doesn't face that fear, he averts his eyes from it and acts as if he never had any memories of his history. But, 40 years can be both a brief time and yet, a long time. Man's fear has withered. And even time tries to wither the desire to know the truth. Is it a crime to try and learn the truth? Is it a sin to search for those things which you fear. My purpose in this world is knowledge, and the dissemination of it. And it is I who is to restore the fruits of my labors to the entire world. Fear... It is something vital to us puny creatures. The instant man stop fearing is the instant the species will reach a dead end, only to sink to pitiable lows, only to sit and wait apathetically for extinction. Wake up! Don't be afraid of knowledge! Humans who lose the capacity to think become creatures whose existence has no value. Think, you humans who are split into two worlds, unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion, you must think! Signed, Schwarzwald.

Pure silence, I remember seeing everyone's faces... near wide eyed... One person spoke to me after saying how much he liked it as we drank from the same bottle together, he didn't believe it was from an anime. This was a little under 10 years ago... I plan to do it again, I feel I'll get a different reaction this time. It was funny to me seeing people fumble, stumble or play cover songs in a "less than professional" manner all got rounds of applause, whistles, and cheers from the audience of about 50+ audience members... I was the only one that earned silence. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.

@nooneinparticular52565 жыл бұрын
@Rigoberto Sosa It's kind of a class-divide thing, as well as a search for the truth of what happened. Looking at this again, it's more like he's saying they're on the way to becoming cattle (both classes), but can save themselves. The poor live in squalor, and are unaware of what happened, while the rich live in their own domes, and don't really care what happened. Both are afraid to know what happened, and the upper class tries to suppress the truth, hence why they censored his articles. On one hand, his attempts to destroy the domes, is to bring down the upper class to the level of the ordinary people, but also to rip away the bubbles of ignorance & complacency they willingly live in, and to drive them to search for the truth, like they should, as the most powerful people in the city. Of course, using destructive means to address injustice & ignorance is villainy 101. And it's pretty clear that Schwarzwald is a little 'unhinged,' for lack of a better word. But what I'm getting at, is that he's not resorting to petty insults, to get his point across.

Read Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" from 'The Republic', Schwartzald was one who freed himself from his shackles but was burned as he escaped. Symbolically this is why he is burned and in mummy-like bandages. Seeking freedom and the truth, he was burned by the flames that the puppets of our illusionary world emanate from. Now he is trapped, distorted and unable to leave the cave and see the full truth outside, yet unable to return to the illusion. Hence he acts as a guiding figure, trying to scare others to break free and see the reality beyond their world with a path that they might have been simultaneously saved from his fate. Its a show for a variety of audiences, which is what makes it rather amazing haha

"Even without the event 40 years ago I think mankind would fear the dark" // "but man has forgotten fear" // "My gift is fear" // "Don't fear knowledge!" If someone could explain his meaning I'd be grateful.

Late reply, but read Plato's "allegory of the cave" from the Republic. It'll help a lot with understanding this series :) It also helps to look at some classical sources and know some of the older Judeo-Christian references, such as the Big O being the latest revision of the memory that was Behemoth. Similarly, Big Duo was Ziz with Schwartzwald (which similar to Ziz and its archetype Simurgh, who was said to be the greatest keeper of truth and knowledge only after God) and Big Fau as Leviathan. In fact, that is the very reason that the image Schwartzwald distributed, William Blake's “Behemoth and Leviathan,” shows what was to come and references Revelations. I hope that helps, should you ever see this or decide to revisit the series!
