![]() You'll notice that Yoshida expressed a lifetime of loneliness and it wasn't until Owaki felt great despair that fe "recognized" feir own hole. But then we have to ask why people are recognizing their own silhouettes and feeling compelled to go to their own doom? Well, storywise, it seems that the only people who recognize a hole as being made for themselves are those who are in a state of emotional vulnerability. So even if they are prophetic, this actually would point to option 2 making more sense. Owaki also has weirdly prophetic dreams about the nature of the holes, which could fit into the idea that supernatural stuff is going on.īut if we actually look at the content of Owaki's dreams, we'll see that they're portraying a situation where the holes weren't made with modern-day people in mind. I know I wouldn't be able to distinguish my silhouette out of a line-up. But people would be able to recognize their own silhouettes if their hearts were being nudged by a supernatural power, the same supernatural power which could have created the holes. Option 1 makes since because it's already unnatural for people to recognize their own silhouette so perfectly. Fundamentally, there are two ways to interpret the holes: 1) The holes actually were made for specific people, or 2) The holes weren't made for specific people (or at least not these modern-day specific people). Several people see holes which perfectly match their silhouettes and feel compelled to enter them. If they can do that, they might set it up as a tourist attraction, given it's clearly an ancient manmade structure.An earthquake opens up a fault line, revealing human-shaped holes in the rock face. At least until they can find a way to stop people from jumping into the holes. Given the Japanese government's usual policy of making everything seem fine and dandy to the outside world, they will likely keep this as far from the international media as possible. But they won't be able to express it upon their exit. Some of them might be sane, others might be totally unhinged. With their bodies so deformed (and weakened imo) they won't be able to say anything to the reporters waiting for their exit. The hole robs them of their humanity in every way possible, including the ability to communicate. The "drr drr drr" sound, to me, implies they are no longer capable of speaking. (assuming that in the ancient days, there was no one to greet them on the other side) Brittle bones shattering upon exposure to the outside, organs shutting down, not to mention the exposure from being left in such a weak form in the elements. The victims are slowly transformed into a shape that cannot support itself outside of the hole, and they will die soon after experiencing freedom. ![]() ![]() I was under the impression that the holes were a cruel and very lengthy method of execution. What do you think? Junji Ito loves his creepy cliffhangers but I always wonder what happens immediately after those Maybe the increased media attention on the slinky stretched out person instigates a Amigara Fault style apocalypse? It’s glowing review causes billions of people around the world to have psychic dreams about similar Faults near them, and they dedicate their lives to finding them, digging them up, sliding into their own personal holes and becoming slinky monsters. There’s definitely something paranormal going on here, they might not want this magic/ancient super tech falling into the wrong hands. Maybe the Japanese government or the UN cordons off the area and makes all the research top secret, X Files style hush hush. Regardless, I imagine university, government and corporate employed biologists would love to be able to study this strange, formerly human organism. Or it might just drop dead the moment it flops out of the hole. Come find your hole right here at Amigara” 43) and that was the best ride of my life! 10/10 on Trip Advisor. Or would its personality be altered by the magic in the fault? Maybe once the television news cameras are on it, it says “My name is (fault victim no. Would the thing still be sane? A few months forced through a claustrophobic, bone breaking torture tunnel might unbalance some people. This thing would also emerge in full view of a team of rescue/construction/demolition workers, and there’s likely to be many more on the way. Judging by the “DRRR DRR” sounds it was making, it was still alive in some fashion, probably because of the weird caveman magic that created the cracks. What do you suppose happened after the distorted man thing slithered out of the hole?
