Didn't Jin lose his memories? Cause he got hit in the head.
Yesss I've been thinking the same, jin didn't even cry or grieve for him he just accepted it so fastly it's sickening and sad for charin I think he'll soon break or something cuz it's not normal
?? did we read the same story? because they made it a whole point that jin cried when charin died, and that that was the first and only time his other two sunny daycare whatever classmates ever saw him as something remotely human. i mean, jin literally debated even continuing to live because he was so distraught over his cap’s death.
i don’t think he accepted charin’s death. he’s still clearly grieving, just in his own way. in the moments after his death, you see jin replay his captain’s last words. based on the visual and storytelling, i’m pretty sure it was meant to be interpreted in a way that reflects jin’s letter to charin, where he said not to let the others break him (charin). i think he decided to live on, because otherwise his captain died for nothing, and wouldn’t let charin’s death break him.
i definitely don’t think he’s over or accepted charin’s death. but i do think he’s grieving silently, because jin doesn’t seem like the kind of character that would allow himself a moment of reprieve to feel his emotions. especially now that he knows he’s constantly being watched and monitored. but i do agree with the OP, i think we’re gonna get a scene in the future where all the bottled up anguish and grief jin is feeling is going to boil over and we see him break down a bit.
Waittt. Did he not lose his memory??
Alsoo, its been 3 months
his memories of his time at the daycare was lost, the memories of meeting capo and the events followed isn’t lost, he remembers capo from the start till the end
Oooh... that changes things
Ok I get it's been three months but to think he's lost the only person he dedicated himself to and his whole life for I thought he'd be more affected tbh and jin sure did cry but man oh if I saw the man I loved losing an arm and a leg and getting his stomach blown up I'd do more than just cry on the damn floor don't even try to say he'd done enough cuz he did not that man even left charin's body thrown there naked like it didn't matter WHAT THE FUCK?? Saying he couldn't move at least he should've asked or even begged for the other two to burry his damned lover's body, bro I swear I cried and was agonized more than jin i was so mad he didn't do enough and I know he did not
yeah, i mean that’s fair, but i personally wouldn’t blame him. shock effects everyone differently. i think it’s valid for you or anyone else to act that way, but i also think it’s valid and actually in character for jin to leave charin’s body behind without thinking. it’s already been established that jin is a very adaptable character and accepts his circumstances with frightening speed. i don’t think it’d be that far fetched for jin to not see any emotional value in burying charin’s body or taking him back with him knowing that he was dead and gone (assuming burials is even something common to a mercenary like jin, he’s probably very used to leaving dead bodies wherever, even before he’d lost his memories. he’s very desensitized to death).
we’ve seen that jin is capable of both extreme sides of an emotional spectrum; so emotionless he borders on sociopathic, and so full of emotion he’s willing to break down his whole identity for the man he adores. so for him to do something smack dab in the middle, something where he showed emotion and grief, but not the emotional capability, urgency, or empathy to do something with charin’s body out of respect, i think is very in line with his character. yes jin did everything for charin when he was alive, but he also accepted charin was dead almost instantly. wouldn’t be a far stretch for his line of thinking to be that there was nothing more he could do for charin given that he was dead. after all, he’d spent a majority of his life following charin’s orders. why would he start doing something for charin that he wasn’t specifically told to do by the man himself?
anyways, not trying to be rude or tugging on ur balls. just wanted to share my own thoughts. i personally just think your expectations for jin and his character, one that is clearly morally ambiguous and has been seen to be completely capable of psychopathy, is a little too high. would burying charin be the bare minimum for someone you loved? yes. is jin a normal person with normal values and an even remotely decent moral compass and an intact psyche? no. no he is not.
Someone gave their explanation to this in another comment which I think makes a lot of sense, pretty much Jin is just good at masking what he feels. When he was with Charin he was intentionally making himself be stupid. That's what he's learned would make him be accepted in a group. So I think he's putting on the same persona so he can be accepted or co-live with the other guys. I think he's internalized the idea that being his true self would leave him abandoned. Although I don't know if him being dumb now is the actual him or if it's still an act. I think for now we're just waiting for when Jin starts to act on Charin's words that Charin left for him at the end of season 1. Where he said, "No matter what you think, what you decide or whom you like, you're absolutely right. So from now on, call your own shots." I'm waiting exactly for that, Jin calling his own shots, especially for whom he likes, seeing him not feel pressured away from his feelings towards someone. That he is acceptable in what he wants to do and what he feels. I think the whole thing about him being kicked out of the daycare by the machine (and maybe him hurting Tehir) made him think otherwise.
I think Jin is still sad but I think right now he's just trying to survive in this new environment, socially. Which is him being dumb like before to fit in the group. And since we're now in Kimoto's POV, we're not going to be getting Jin's hidden thoughts or feelings, just this mask his putting on to survive.
Yeah I think the same but I was just a little mad cuz he looked indifferent guys
Yeah I get it, I just had high expectations for such an emotionally complexed character I just wish the author will show us in the coming chapters what's really going on in his mind or else I think a lot of people would be very disappointed
Yeah I was taken a back too so I had to rationalize like this
Charin fuckin died and how is Jin so okay with it? I mean not literal okay. It's just that he recovered so fast and already flirting with other people that it makes me think he's doing this to distract himself from thinking of Charin. And I hate hate that green hair bastard, not only has he made Charin suffer even in his death, now he's now targeting Tehir pls why is this so good, and all the characters are fucked up. The writing, the art, the pacing, the action!, the sci-fi genre. It's so fucking good but I just wanna say, why did Charin have to die! I complained so hard that why did Jin and Charin stayed in that house. Couldn't they just have fucked in a safer place or after sex, fled from that house already. Sometimes, I wonder maybe the story would take another turn if Charin hadn't died, but technically he's still not dead since that green ass hair kept him alive. Literally, making charin like the girlfriend he obsessed with. That's a fuckin insult. I just want to see Jin and Charin together, Kimoto and Tehir together, Aa-eel(?) and Rim together, and Garon? I guess, to become the most strongest with more intelligent, I guess? Please just this and I'll be happy forever
