Semi Spoilers but only disclosing what happens in the first chapter so you better be not surprised] Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After going through one DEAD Tube event, she chooses to move faaaar away, not wanting to continue associating with the psychos she had to rely on to survive the storyline. She even admits to Shinkai that she thinks they're crazy for staying.

Establishing Character Moment: We are shown Mai’s insanity as early as the beginning of the story, where she happily smiles for the camera while completely covered in blood right after bludgeoning a guy to death. A middle-aged man who happens to be the Number One content creator on DEAD Tube. His videos are basically trashy gossip shows with none of the sex or violence in every other Dead Tube video, but he always gives away all the money he makes on them to his viewers. Karmic Rape: Matsumura ends up being the target of this trope on three seprate occasions and counting. First by Mashiro, who sodimized Matsumura with a police baton after interrogating her. Then by Justice Man, who raped her for simply trying to talk him out of killing Dillgent Manager. Which was then followed by Toshio and Mitsuko, who both raped Matsumura on camera after drugging her drink. Dead Tube ( Japanese: デッドチューブ, Hepburn: Deddo Chūbu) is a manga series, written by Mikoto Yamaguchi and illustrated by Touta Kitakawa and inspired by Yôhei Fukuda's 2010 film of the same name. It is being serialized in Champion Red since April 2014. [3] The manga is published in France by Delcourt- Tonkam. [4] Plot [ edit ]During a field trip attended by the entire film club, along with Mai, Tomohiro films them, until one day until Oshima's death. Throughout the field trip, Oshima seduces Tomohiro. On the last day of the drip, Oshima takes Tomohiro aside and states that she received a text and photos from Mai showing her boyfriend murdered, as well as three boys in the film club. Mai also states that she had Mizuno, a girl from the film club raped by three male accomplices. The text warns that if Oshima does not commit suicide in two days, more of her friends will die. Oshima and Tomohiro formulate a plan to ambush and kill Mai the next day on the roof of the school. Shortly before enacting her plan, Oshima confesses her love for Tomohiro and kisses him. This was all part of Machiya’s plan; to have Furui experience all of the joys of life in an effort to rekindle his will to live... before killing himself anyway. At first Furui seemed to have seen through the plan, forcing himself to return to his nihilistic views and placing the explosive collar on to end it all. But Mizuno’s last display of sobbing over his impending death caused him to flip again, saying he wanted to live. The final video captures what Machiya envisioned all along: the suicide of someone who wanted to live.

Mai assumes the role of the killer once she catches Miwa and Machiya in bed, feeling betrayed she disappears for much of the arc, while in truth it was planned all along by Machiya and Mai for her to act in the shadows, still Mai didn’t kill anyone as the Crazy Rascal, just giving some scares while assuming the role. This has been my first review so I apologize if everything is all over the place or there is grammar mistakes but I thank you for reading and taking your time this far! I will give my overall verdict. His sister, his partner and confidant who supported him from the very beginning, who encouraged him to become "Justice Man" in the first place? Not only did she frame the Yakuza whom he killed as the culprit of the fire that scarred him, but it's implied that she was the one who started it in the first place. Bad People Abuse Animals: Long before the founding of DEAD Tube, he murdered his pet dog and made its remains into curry.Not Afraid to Die: Part of his Driven to Suicide, he does not fear death. However, by the end of the filming sessions, he rapidly has a change of heart during his last seconds alive. Heroic Sacrifice: Attempts to make one of these during the fifth DEAD Tube game, offering herself in exchange for the young girl being held hostage. She survives. The young girl doesn't. Berserk Button: Accusing him of being a “fake hero” is a good way to end up having your face smashed in by Justice Man, as Diligent Manager learned the hard way.

Crocodile Tears: Mizuno takes her acting seriously; crying while being "raped" to make it look real as it gets, crying for Furui to make him regret his suicidal streak.Creepy Child: Kept buried inside, then Mashiro came in and made sure to nourish this side of Machiya. It's eventually revealed that Machiya was more open about his bizarre fascination with death and violence when he was very young, often filming dead animals he found in the street. At some point he was bullied into suppressing that part of himself, along with his memories of it. Really Gets Around: Give her a good sum of money and Mizuno will act in any sex scene, with real sex; Machiya uses her later for the same purpose. Would Hurt a Child: Not only did he allow his daughter to be murdered, the only reason he raised her for fourteen years was specifically to film her being raped and killed.

Four Eyes, Zero Soul: She wears glasses in her civilian attire and is just as much of an amoral sadist as the rest of DEAD Tube's participants. Lawman Baton: Mashiro's weapon of choice is a collapsible baton, presumably because it's both easy to use and to hide (when necessary). The characters are cliche, plain and uninteresting to see. You get your MC, boring, has no meaning in life and just stays there for plot convenience, then you have SC, who is a crazy yandere bitch that will do anything for money and fame (or just outright crazy). Any other character introduced will just make you annoyed to the point you're asking yourself 'when will they die?' and if that thought ever arose from my mind, I would drop the series completely. You don't really feel for the characters but rather to just pitch a tent or unleash the water gates.The male lead of the series, an unassuming teenager whose only pastime and activity is being the Cameraman for the school’s Film Research Club. One day he is asked out by one of his school’s most famous beauties to film her for 48 hours non-stop. Her request ends up being quite literal as she has him follow her home, even filming her using the bathroom and sleeping. This eventually leads to him filming a murder enacted by the hands of that same beauty. But rather than experiencing terror, he finds he actually enjoyed filming it; discovering a sense of beauty in her acts of violence that he just can't seem to find anywhere else. The boy must come to grips with what he really wants to film... and that he isn’t such a normal person after all.
