The cruelest thing about many stories is that many of us as viewers in the depths of our being do not really want to see the characters to be happy, in fact we enjoy their suffering, in many of the series and anime we have seen it happens that in various characters is a martyrdom what they suffer and the greater the agony they suffer .... the more we want to see.
Rena Ryuuguu is a character of the franchise When They Cry also called Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni that fits the psychology of the audience that enjoys seeing the agony of characters in various aspects because it is not only the physical suffering that she can suffer since the psychological part is what can be exploited at the level of the character to make the story more attractive.
- Mai Nakahara is the one who gives voice and life to Rena:
The voice like many voices in animation or anime transmits quite a lot in the innocence aspect, it is like entering another world when listening to the voices of Japanese women in anime, with their high-pitched and sweet tones but in this case the striking thing is not that because let's say that it is of the most common that type of voice, the attractive touch of this character is how Mai Nakahara gives her the attribute of dementia.
This is one of the reasons why this character has a good reputation in the anime world, she has radical changes in her voice that accompany the scenes and are extremely enjoyable for those who like aggressive tones. Many times we focus on the images but if you have not seen When They Cry and you dare to watch it, pay attention to the voice changes in this character that generate uncomfortable situations and good tension in the viewer.
- Her Exotic Axe:
If there is something with which When They Cry plays very well is with the innocence of her characters, Rena is a teenager whose physical characteristics in what I see of the anime tend more towards girl, she has a little hat that makes her look very sweet and up to there everything is fine.
What gives a powerful visual plus to the character is the use of her machete or kind of axe, it is not at all a common form of weapon and she handles it with style, if you enjoy Gore she can give you some good moments in this anime, just look at her in the thumbnail of this video, she looks bad ass with her exotic axe
The Insane Psychology of Rena Ryuuguu's character:
Beyond the reasons I just named and in large part is what inspires me to review this character is her insanity for all that she suffers during the development of this story. The Anime executed its insane moments with a lot of suspense in totally illogical scenes because of the murky context they present.
As you can see, the character is sweet so her scenes go from being tender to macabre in a matter of minutes, she reminds me a lot of those toxic women that some may have known in their lives and whose situations only reached the psychological stress part, in my case I have not had toxic girlfriends but I would like one with a personality like that, that is similar to Rena's to give more excitement to my life that I really need it haha.
If you like that feeling of seeing how characters get lost in the madness of their psychological traumas, this character is for you, in fact she is a secondary character but she has been written so well that the appreciation of the fans has made her escalate and that indicates how we enjoy seeing innocent souls suffer.
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
