Callinh Rock a Nazi sympathizer is insane. They totally missed the point of his character wtf

2025-05-22 13:54:49 +0000 UTCDutches whole outfit implies that he fought in vietnam, he wears the jungle boots, rides a torpedo boat, and wears a flak jacket, i dont remember if they ever mention any specifics about his service but the fact that he still owns these things implies desertion

2025-04-20 00:33:33 +0000 UTC"do they all have matching boots" they are wearing vietnam era US jungle boots, also the TOW systems they used to shoot the torpedo boat are generally wire guided, so you have control over them until you reach the end of the wire and it snaps, then the rocket just goes forward

2025-04-20 00:30:42 +0000 UTCHe has strong moral character. He doesn’t like killing, AT ALL, and he doesn’t think it’s right to rob or desecrate someone’s grave, regardless of their affiliations. He’s not a Natzi sympathizer, he’s a humanist. 🙄

2024-11-14 07:33:32 +0000 UTCYeah it's always real awkward watching Japanese people be massively ignorant about WW2 and the atrocities Germany and Japan committed during it. On the other hand, American schools don't often bother to teach students about the Japanese internment camps in the US around the same time, but it is just crazy how unaware they are about such a massive historical event.

2024-11-11 23:52:24 +0000 UTCI take more as Rock was being a humanist. To him, it doesn't matter what philosophy these dead men had, they were still humans with families, with loved ones, with hopes and dreams. Alicia's point is nazis lose the sympathy card. Those who wish the extermination of other humans don't deserve a human dignity. Then Revy's point is she doesn't care if they were nazi's or anything. She doesn't care about human dignity. She has seen to much of the bullshit humans do to each other to think there is any value in sentimentality. Different strokes for different folks.

2024-11-10 22:06:26 +0000 UTCPoFtheDeviant explained it well. As a Chinaman, this is very well known in my home country. Japanese people today have very little concept of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Empire and their ally the Nazis. Yes I’m phrasing it like this because our education when I was growing up, also focused a lot more on hating the Japanese by portraying all the atrocities in detail. While staying more cold objective and centralist when viewing the war in Europe. Before I moved to Europe, I only read about the Holocaust as a side column “fun” fact in the World history textbook->Modern history->WWII chapter(all in 4 pages I believe). And it wasn’t even mainly about the Jewish people. While the hundred years of shame was a whole textbook on its own. So if you talk about the opium war, or the Yuanmingyuan summer palace, or Japanese, you get a emotional response from any Chinese. If you talk about the holocaust, most Chinese wouldn’t be as emotionally invested. Point is, each country tries to influence their kids of impressionable age in their own favour when portraying history. So it’s natural for people of different backgrounds to have different Emotional impressions of certain historical events.

2024-10-01 14:59:59 +0000 UTCThe "weird R" is the symbol of the Sturmabteilung or SA, AKA The Brownshirts, the paramilitary arm of the Nazi party that pre-dated the SS. If you look at it again, you can see it's a Sig rune (like the lightning bolts of the SS insignia) linked to a stylized "A"
Linnaeus
2024-10-01 14:24:03 +0000 UTCRock's naiveté and penchant for monologues is also heavily played up in the anime version. There's an infamous moment later on related to this that I'll comment on, it's one of the few real missteps of Madhouse's adaptation in my opinion. It makes Rock seem much stupider and annoying than he really is.
stardmg
2024-10-01 11:08:29 +0000 UTCRock's look was probably about Revy being pissed off at him, not for sympathy towards the Nazis. I don't know where that came from.
stardmg
2024-10-01 11:04:10 +0000 UTCOh, come on. Rock finally does "something" (saves Revy from literally getting turned into mulch by being too headstrong) and you still hate on 'im?
stardmg
2024-10-01 11:01:14 +0000 UTCNot sure if you picked up on it, I see a lot of people miss the line, but I'm pretty sure this is the first actual mention of Revy being Chinese-American. I could be wrong though. Most people think she's white or Japanese.
stardmg
2024-10-01 10:57:10 +0000 UTCJust went back and checked the manga and no, they indeed have the "R" symbol in the manga as well. I believe many countries have outlawed the use of the Swastika so these neo-Nazi parties create their own based on what I'm sure is some other white supremacist mumbo jumbo. Censorship wouldn't make sense as they plainly show the symbol everywhere else.
stardmg
2024-10-01 10:44:26 +0000 UTCThis. So many people in the previous ep's comments were damning all people on the ship when anyone with with at least a passing grade in their high school history class should know that not all German soldiers were Nazis and a huge majority actually opposed the regime, but couldn't speak out, because of the whole brutal totalitarian government thing, obviously.
stardmg
2024-10-01 10:36:56 +0000 UTCIndeed she does, even after they tell her point blank that they're hired help and not members of the party, and it makes Dutch's reaction more understandable. He hired a gunman, not a murderer
stardmg
2024-10-01 10:12:32 +0000 UTCDon't worry Alicia, in the Manga Revy DOES murder all those unarmed sailors. It's only *after* that, that Dutch takes here aside for a one-on-one convo. In fact, I believe he just waits outside the door when he finds her in the middle of massacring them. Doesn't even try to stop her, just waits for her to be done. Which, yeah. All of that indicates that even Dutch is a bit broken ^^' That weird R where the Nazi symbol is supposed to be, is another censorship thing the Anime decided to do. I'm so glad you're committing to this! ^^ Black Lagoon (along with Fullmetal Alchemist & One Piece) is how I got into Manga & Anime 8) And yes, going with the Dub is the right move! There are so many cool lines that are MEANT to be said in English. Plus, canonically, it's what they're all speaking. Even in the Manga it was made clear that the characters are speaking English with each other. Also, ummm... Please can we close the gap between the commentary audio and the show audio *a bit*? ^^' In order for me to even hear the dialogue, you two en up being very loud. The Rock hate is SO fair! The Mangaka *really* didn't know what to do with the character early on, *except* to establish what a normy-normie he is (by Japanese Salaryman standards) compared to ALL the other characters! But hey, no-one understand that you have to *establish* a baseline character before you can give them an arc better than Alicia ;) Also, I *want* to argue that wanting to respect the dead and their relatives doesn't AUTOMATICALLY make you a Nazi sympathizer. *BUT* I feel like I'm stepping into a minefield. And yes, people here in the comments are right: Nazi is short for The National Socialist Party. They even used that angle to get people to vote for them early on (soup kitchens and similar stuff, organized and paid for by the party).

2024-09-29 16:13:28 +0000 UTCI would like to rescind my earlier endorsement of Rock. That nigga is a beta bitch boy if I’ve ever seen one. He gonna need one hell of a redemption arc

2024-09-28 09:44:54 +0000 UTCthats last paragraph is an atual interesting phlopical question but you have it in reverse our ideology remains the same but our actions change i'm talking about true centrists as in the middle of the political compass (which is left of almost all "left" party's and governments) eugenics' is a bad idea and inhuman idea but using medicine to help people be better than they where before has the same idea behind it to "make people better " i youse stupid and idiot as a way for emphasis so i understand how it can be misconstrued what i meant by that is that both sides are extremists and that is foolish and dangerous "pacifism is dangerous what if we are attacked" "war mongering only insights more violence and suspicion" or you could prepare to defend not attack and bee peaceful and kind until provoked (i know its more nuanced) being centist is about helping protecting supporting everyone taking all the nuance reasons and bringing it all together using your knowledge to come to the best solution you can find. often "bad people" just don't know different so attacking them for all they know will make them dubble down and "good people" are often to caught up in there own moral superiority and privilege to see the other side, causing conflict between to sides that fundamentally believe the same thing. in short centrist is about doing what is best for everyone even if they fight against it. if they reject our help doesn't mean we should give up on them and we will make mistakes we are human it is inevitable.

2024-09-28 02:09:43 +0000 UTCOnly about 200 conscientious objectors were killed by the 3rd Reich during the entirety of WW2, a few more were jailed until they submitted to being conscripted. That's a pitifully low number compared to 1.5 million-ish members of the German military. Officers were rarely punished with much severity for failing to commit atrocities, usually slapped on the wrist or internally shuffled. While the einsatsgruppen were directly tasked with killing "undesirables" en masse, the army was instrumental in supporting those efforts directly and indirectly. The reality is, most German citizens who didn't already have a target on their head didn't see their government as worth vigorously opposing as long as they were winning. There's a book on that subject called "They Thought They Were Free," a series of interviews with 10 ordinary citizens of a town in Germany after the war. Most of their complaints about the third Reich were strategic, not moral. I should be clear that this does not make the German people distinctly evil in some essentialist way. Anyone can be made complicit in cruel systems of oppression. In fact, almost everyone is, to one extent or another. But that does not mean they are blameless, and it absolutely does not mean that one act of cruelty excuses another. The terrifying truth is that greatest evils you will ever encounter, you encounter every day, just like ordinary Germans did in 1935. They're boring. Mundane. Expected. Like a homeless person dying in the streets just a few inches of brick away from food, medicine and shelter. As far as I'm concerned, the U Boat commamder might not bear as much responsibility for the acts of his country as the SS officer, but that doesn't make him blameless, and given how he met his end, I doubt he'd argue the point.
Sleepy Hydra
2024-09-27 23:25:32 +0000 UTCWhen he said "Nazism has nothing to do with socialism" to one of them mentioning "our national socialist movement" and then the both agreed... I was like "the fuck? xD" and I went to the comments. You're not "weird" for knowing this. I thought everyone knew what nazi stood for.
rando
2024-09-27 19:20:55 +0000 UTCI'm more a revy type of person in which her way makes more sense but Rock has the mentality of Teltale games, he wants everyone to be happy. German soilders aren't all bad, just like the captian choosing his daughter over his country and saying he hopes she grows up to never know of their cause. On another note, you should watch Saga of Tanya The Evil.

Bananalad
2024-09-27 11:41:26 +0000 UTCThough I have to admit you have a point when you caution against mapping current the day US political spectrum to Europe 100 years ago. Parties shift, philosophies get remixed and repackaged, so it's important to remember what the terrain looks like when and where you're looking.
Sleepy Hydra
2024-09-27 09:20:14 +0000 UTCPretty sure any socialists that were in the party were murdered during the night of the long knives, and socialists were among the first sent to the camps. Further, the hyper-exclusionary method in which redistribution was executed makes any statement that the Nazi party had any real Socialist bona fides in its origins beyond what was politically convenient (at first) a little absurd. The structure of power in Nazism entirely top-down, the complete opposite of what Socialism attempts to bring about. To say otherwise is to practically fall for the Nazis' own propaganda. Wearing the skin of a sheep doesn't make anyone a sheep.
Sleepy Hydra
2024-09-27 09:13:04 +0000 UTCTrue, but I think the uncomfortable question at the heart of this issue is this: why is Rock, as the stand-in for the average salary man, being shown as naive for getting sentimental about robbing dead Nazis, when literally any dead people would do in this circumstance? There's logistical reasons, but they all hinge on the Nazis being taken as a given, which is a narrative choice, and requires a narrative explanation.
Sleepy Hydra
2024-09-27 08:52:12 +0000 UTCHate to break this to you, but there's no separating an idea from its baggage, when that baggage is the real history of how it's been used. Can you uncouple Eugenics from the racist, ableist context it arose in and was a direct consequence of? Or the horrific and cruel ways it was implemented? Now to be fair, I know that's an incendiary start, and Eugenics is an example of an idea that was for a long time, popular across the political spectrum, including centrists (until the Nazis lost WW2, when it fell out of favor among liberals and gradually became the quiet, unspoken darling of certain brands of conservatism, see the Bell Curve for a more modern example of Eugenics bullshit wrapped up in phony intellectualism). You imply that centrism has no specific, consistent position on anything, but that essentially means that it has no philosophical backbone and in the west, that means it's just feed for status quo conservatism at best. The best that a centrist can hope for is to maybe sneak some vitamins into the trough so when the pigs scarf it down, they might not get scurvy this week. That is to say, water down a good policy so it's weak enough to pass congress and conservative voters won't shit themselves inside out when you dare to try to fix a real problem. I totally get not wanting to be labeled or judged or seen as some kind of cheerleader, but saying you think "both sides are stupid" isn't the winning strategy you might think. It's a way of tricking yourself into thinking you are above having an ideology, and can thus make judgements with clarity. But everyone has an ideology, as messy, contradictory and ever-changing as it might be. Having an ideology does not mean you have to be dogmatic or rigid, it just means you are obliged to be consistent in your framework and principles. Centrism, as you describe it, asks nothing specific of those who claim it, so it can't do much except be acted upon by those for whom their causes and beliefs ask more of them than simply casting a vote every four years. I say this not to insult you, but because I've been there myself. Hell, I'm not entirely sure I'm not still there. I mean, if your beliefs change a lot but your actions only change a little, have your beliefs really changed at all?

Catdogthing
2024-09-27 07:25:32 +0000 UTCThe other half was people trying to correct Alicia on Germany and the relation between it and the Nazi party but doing so rather poorly and in ways that can be easily misconstrued. But to talk about their actual point and otherwise what I think they were trying to say, I believe they were trying to say that Germany does not automatically equate to Nazi’s when referencing the German People, Military, and Civilians during WW2. A short history lesson here, but between the end of WW1 and beginning of WW2 Germany had 5 different political parties, 1 far left, 1 left leaning, one centrist, 1 right leaning, and one far right. The far right party was officially known as NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers Party, in English) also called the Nazi Party (Nazi also being a shortening of a phrase pertaining to the party). When Hitler rose to power one of the things he did was make Germany into a 1 party system by making it illegal to have other political parties besides the Nazi party. That was punishable by jail time for anyone caught trying to do so anyways. So even if you were vehemently against the Nazi ideology and methodology for how the party handled things, as a German Citizen or even a German Soldier, you couldn’t speak out about it or else you would risk being jailed, executed, or having your family punished with you. So, a lot of Soldiers and Citizens were forced to be Nazi’s by default, not by choice. Some German Citizens and even German Soldiers at the time even had resistance movements, but due to the fear of the actual Nazi’s in the party finding them out, they never really had much of a chance. A lot of the people on that submarine very well could’ve been in the same boat(pun intended) as what was just mentioned. That being that some of them may very well have been part of different political parties and views until it was outlawed and were never able to express their true views without looking over their shoulders in fear. Some of that could be seen in the flashback scenes, especially when describing how one thought of the SS guy as being monstrous while listing his reasons for thinking so. The Captain may have been part of either the Centrist or slightly Left Leaning party before they were made illegal, but not an extremist like the SS, or at least that’s what could be assumed due to some of the dialogue he exchanged. The true moral of the story, I guess, is that humans aren’t all that simple. We’re complex creatures that are products of our environment, history, nature, and parentage. We are also more than our political parties make us out to be. History is never that simple. It’s a complex web that can be dissected for as long as events keep happening.

2024-09-27 07:05:56 +0000 UTCIt's worse: Hitler straight up offered to send German Jewish citizens in to any country that would take them. Not a single country took the offer. In the US, the status of Jewish people would swing between being considered white or non white according to political convenience. Many of the policies and legal theory used in the gradual disenfranchisement of the "undesirables" in Germany were adopted with only minor changes from United States domestic policies to suppress minorities (see voter suppression, segregation, and the "one drop rule.") "Manifest Destiny," the flimsy excuse for Native genocide, was often remarked upon favorably by the leadership of the third Reich. And that's not even getting into the grassroots fascist movements that enjoyed steady recruitment in the US until the Nazis lost the war.
Sleepy Hydra
2024-09-27 06:54:09 +0000 UTCA lot of the info is disjointed surrounding Rock and that whole sympathizer part. Just to consolidate some of the info that I’ve seen already been pointed out plus a bit of info to tie it together tho, Rock is meant to represent the Average Japanese Salary Man during the time period this was set in. That explains most of his views on the violence and excitement around him, he’s basically been isekai’d into somewhere else in the same world he’s always lived in. He would have been given the same education as every other Japanese man at the time in his childhood when concerning being taught about World and Japanese History. Japanese schools notoriously don’t speak much on WW2 due to the shame the country has towards their involvement. This includes not talking much about the horrific stuff their own soldiers done, but it also includes leaving out some of the more horrific stuff that their allies did and not focusing too much on it otherwise. To most Japanese people the Nazi’s of WW2 were just like any other soldiers from any other part of history because they’re not given as much focus on a lot of the worst things they did. Since all he was ever taught about them were things along those lines it’s easy to see how he could still view them with more empathy than people from the west do. It’s all due to the different perspectives we get as a result of our different education systems. Plus the fact that he’s not been in the pirate life for too long so he’s still holding onto his system of morality that he’s probably had since he was a kid growing up in Japan. (Cuz as was mentioned, his character is meant to be an audience stand-in and represent the Average Japanese Salaryman.)
PoFtheDeviant
2024-09-27 06:37:52 +0000 UTCNah, Alicia, Nazis are really more "Meth" and less "Crack" ;) or Pervitin as it was called at the time. That said, this is the thing about Revy's character at this point: Her actions on the ship? If it had been a ship of 100% innocent commercial salvagers who'd been hired to recover the wreck? She would have been JUST as willing to kill them. She's not eager to kill them out of a sense of righteous revenge against evil people. She's eager to kill because it works out her issues, and because they got between her and something she wanted. In the Manga IIRC she guns down every unarmed civilian on the bridge.
Linnaeus
2024-09-27 06:34:40 +0000 UTC"Nothing" is overstating it, though I agree that you can't really call them "Socialist" either. See my reply to Wu Yixiang downthread.
Linnaeus
2024-09-27 06:27:55 +0000 UTCOh, let me add: Basically none of this historical and ideological/political science talk applies to the NEO-Nazis in this episode or the vast majority of real-life Neo-Nazis. That's a whole other kettle of fish, but fundamentally most modern neo-nazis are more or less racist LARPers who like the aesthetic of Nazi Germany, not folks who are deeply committed to the political policies and ideology of the NSDAP, and they rarely have anything approaching a rigorous and internally consistent political ideology.
Linnaeus
2024-09-27 06:25:24 +0000 UTCThis. It's incorrect to say that Nazism had NOTHING to do with Socialism, but I will say that it's also true that they're not "just" Socialist either. Nazism lifted elements from Socialism, from the Volkisch Movement, and from Italian Fascism and mixed them all together. It had its ORIGINS in Socialism, but moved in its own direction from there. It's fundamentally a "Third Way" ideology. I dislike overly reductive categorizations, but if I absolutely had to, I'd say that you could ALMOST think of Nazism as an extremist and authoritarian mirror of what we currently call "Social Democracy", another "Third Way" ideology with roots in Socialism but which is not itself socialist. A sort of "Social Authoritarianism" that is then further distinguished by the addition of the Racial Supremacist/Race Conflict nationalism. But in general, a lot of folks are making the mistake of mapping the conflicts of 20s and 30s Germany onto a modern "Left-Right" axis, ignoring that while the Nazis and Communists were fighting for power, they both arose out of the populist left. The actual right wing at the time as far as political parties were folks like the DVP and the DNVP, who were pushing for a return to the monarchy.

2024-09-27 04:56:55 +0000 UTCpeople who aren't centrist really have no fucking clue what a centrist is, its not a line between right and left with a centrist in the middle trying to please both sides centrists think both sides are stupid but if they have a good idea we will adopt it without the baggage that comes with it. being a centrist is all about not taking extremest ideas that help no one centrists hate nazis just like they hate only capitalists, only communists or only anarchists because if you don't take wisdom from multiple sources it becomes rigged and stale. yes i quoted Uncle Iroh because he is right!
Rhiley Jones
2024-09-27 04:19:50 +0000 UTCThe Nazi party really had a lot of support internationally exactly because of their fascist leanings, a fascist Germany was meant to be a stopgap against the communist spreading from the east, which is also why they got away with so much before any of the big nations actually moved against them.
Spacefrog
2024-09-27 03:12:29 +0000 UTCReally enjoying alicia and Pasta's takes on this so far (new to pasta too). Asking myself now "what has Rock actually even done in the first six episodes" to merit any degree of benefit of doubt or likability - the answer does rather compellingly stand at "almost nothing". He did come up with the crazy plan to save their lives by launching the torpedo ship into the air at the chopper shooting them down, but that's one good thing against one hundred whiny complaints of his. Good reactors read character traits like that and little details I might not think twice about that often connect to a bigger plot point like solving a mystery a dozen episodes before I did on a first watch. Revy and Dutch are the stars of the show for me, when they're on the screen it's always a good time, looking forward to the next batch!

Jobbe Smit
2024-09-26 16:36:11 +0000 UTCFurther, anyone in the Nazi party who had even the slightest inclination toward socialism was purged during the Night of The Long Knives, the wholesale murder of of anyone in the Nazi party who had outlived their usefulness once they were in power. It was a bait and switch, both internally for recruitment and externally to gain legitimacy with enough voters to sell the lie of their election victory. (Sound familiar?)

2024-09-26 14:52:52 +0000 UTCRock definitely starts out as a rough character. But he has a lot more depth then people give him credit for. Rock is very intelligent, but he doesn't understand how this world works yet. It's not just a moral issue for him. Rock's realised that when he sees Revy kill or steal she's hurting herself too.
Aesthetic_Delta
2024-09-26 14:50:51 +0000 UTCAbout that "nazi socialist doesn't make sense part" part. Nazism is just short for national socialism and it has nothing to do with the socialism you might've thought, which I assume is leaning more to communism. Nazi was also more of an acronym for members of the political party that took power back then, which was the national socialist workers party. And before y'all give me a weird look for knowing this, I'm german, we learn this stuff in school.
Alexander Stuebing
2024-09-26 14:48:24 +0000 UTCNot every German was s follower of the nazis they had to follow orders or get killed. It's just like the nukes US dropped that killed thousands of innocents even after the war Noone is innocent in war and Americans have no high horse to stand on.

2024-09-26 14:44:35 +0000 UTCIt was late in the war so most of those soldiers were probably conscripts. But “fighting for your country” is still inherently political, especially when your country is the aggressor. Also, don’t call slave uprisings and peasant revolts fanatical; just call out the real monsters for what they are.

But Nazis weren't socialists, they were populists though and the word socialist was very popular at the time.

2024-09-26 10:45:52 +0000 UTCI think the guys in the sub were German soldiers, not necessarily nazis (could be wrong). SS officer was 100% a nazi and the captain clearly hated him. There's a soldier that fights for his country and people and then there's the fanatics that fight for political beliefs. Random rant cause I'm bored.

2024-09-26 09:43:05 +0000 UTCIts so strange and acting like everyone who fought for Germany is a nazi the show even showed that the captain of the uboat wasn't one but nowadays people forget or a ignorant about the whole conflict. The surface level understanding is showing big time.

2024-09-26 09:27:10 +0000 UTCThe rock hate is actually unhinged and saying he sympathizes with the nazis cause he doesn't want plunder and has respect for the dead...

2024-09-26 09:22:14 +0000 UTCTechnically correct may be the best kind of correct, but I'd argue that's only partially technically correct. They most certainly didn't end power as a socialist party. But it may be best to let it slide

2024-09-26 06:38:54 +0000 UTCNo way he said "Nazi Socialism" doesn't make sense. The Nazi Party is literally short for the Nationalist Socialist German Worker's Party...

2024-09-26 06:26:17 +0000 UTCThis anime goes hard and I really wish they would revive it, best anime in my opinion. The Dub is awesome, it makes sense why the English is better in general because other then Rock, everybody is from the US (obviously other then Balaika but it yeah, it's an awesome series and I'm so glad you're reacting to it. Pasta's funny as hell too.
