Eight popular questions in Parasitic Beast: A detailed analysis of bloodthirsty and cannibal monsters

    Special feature of 1905 film network For the audience who have seen comics, the dream of enjoying the Japanese reality in mainland cinemas for many years will come true on September 2, and the images of "Shinichi" and "Xiaoyou", which originally existed only in minds and books, will "really" enter real life. However, the audience who didn’t know about Parasitic Beast before may have many questions. The strange shapes of various bloodthirsty parasitic beasts even caused deep anxiety. Xiaodian specially sorted out several questions that the audience most urgently wanted to get answers. After reading it, they will have a new understanding of Parasitic Beast.

 

    There are many apocalyptic questions in Parasitic Beasts: If the number of human beings is reduced by half, the burned forest area will be reduced by half? If the number of human beings is only 1%, the amount of garbage discharged will also become 1%? The destruction of nature and the consumption of energy in the process of industrialization of human society have changed the earth, and the acceleration of urbanization has split people’s affection. In the event of a catastrophe, people’s most simple emotions will be revealed, and the hero of the film, Shinichi, will only pour out words that have been accumulated in his heart for many years when he faces his mother who has become a parasitic animal. Although the shape of parasitic beasts in the film is uncomfortable, what the main creator really wants to explain is that people in modern society are even far behind parasitic beasts in many aspects. Parasitic beasts that cooperate with each other in order to survive and do little damage to nature seem to exist only to eliminate most human beings, and the surviving human beings will also reflect deeply from the disaster.

 

Where do parasitic beasts come from?

 

    There is no clear answer in the film, but it is certain that the carrier of parasitic beasts appears from the water. Those things similar to the shape of influenza virus contain parasitic beasts and worms with jumping ability, and the sharp head makes it easy to drill into the human body. In addition, when talking with Shinichi, the parasitized female teacher, Yoshiko Tamiya, also questioned that parasitic beasts have no ability to reproduce, and it is a mystery why this creature simply kills repeatedly and why it was born in this world.

 

    Perhaps, as the apocalyptic words say, parasitic beasts appeared to reduce the number of human beings.

How to parasitize the human body


    The film shows several parasitic ways, the most common one is to drill through the ears and nostrils, and the sharp head can also be parasitic on other parts of the human body.

 

What will happen after parasitizing the human body?


 

    Judging from the adaptation of the live-action version, the scale of the appearance after parasitizing the human body is still relatively large. Except for the "little right" parasitic on the palm of the hand due to mistakes, it will also change several appearances after parasitizing the human head, and there is no fixed shape.

 

Attack ability of parasitic beasts


 

    Parasitic animals can attack far more than humans, and can change into many forms by using body tissues. In the film, you can see axes, swords, whips and even bows, and some directly turn into "man-eating flowers" to devour human heads. In the scene of "campus massacre", the parasitized Teru Shimada Jun can easily kill five or six policemen with guns when he is injured.

 

How to fight back when encountering parasitic beasts?


    Parasitic beasts parasitic on the human body can’t survive after the host bled to death. Xinyi showed a successful method of inserting a hollow steel pipe with a tip into the parasitic human body. In addition, outside the range of "tentacles" changed by parasitic beasts, it can also achieve good results with long-range attack weapons.

 

Does the parasitized human body still have human memory?


    What is certain is that parasitic beasts use the host’s brain, and people who are parasitized can still return to work. The teachers, police officers and even politicians in the film are well disguised, but human emotions sometimes have an impact on killing. It was at the last moment that Xinyi’s mother stopped the "tentacle" that tried to attack her son with her own hands.

 

Do parasitic beasts try to integrate into human society?

 

    Yoshiko Tamiya, a parasitic female teacher, tried to abandon cannibalism and try human food, and also gave birth to human babies in her body. She is well aware that confrontation with human beings will make parasitic beasts extinct, and only coexistence with human beings is the only way out. But in the end, it was found that coexistence was impossible.

 

Can Xiao You survive without Xinyi?

 

    Parasitic animals will die soon after leaving the host. Xiaoyou draws nutrients from Xinyi’s blood and survives. Removing the infected part will cause parasitic animals to dry up and die. However, after the parasitic beast meets a new body, it can be transplanted and become another appearance by cutting off, separating, combining and resurrecting.
