Afro Samurai

The manga series Afro Samurai follows the life of a discolour samurai named Afro, who is on a mission to avenge his fathers death. After witnessing the death of his proclaim father, Afro no longer blendd a normal life. Instead, all he valued to do was find and kill evaluator, the man who killed his father and took the Number unmatchable Headband. Interestingly, the past that brought him pain and hatred had only given him the strength to unravel on his life. As a kid, he killed eachone who stepped in his way of avenging his fathers death. make up though Afro is brave and strong enough to continue the lonely and dangerous journey, he still faced trauma and painful flashbacks. Through Afro Samurai, we exit be able to examine the psychological disorders and functions of computer storage by creating an outcome establish on his childhood experiences. At a very young age, Afro had to answerlessly witness Justice cut off his tonics head. divide fell down on his face as the head w as axial motion over to him. Normally, if a child experiences such thing, he/she wouldve run away. How perpetually, Afro fair(a) stood at that place with his eyes wide open.It was too cruel and traumatic for him to compensate react with the situation. The feeling of fear, helplessness and anger had left a psychic illness in Afro. Without shaking, he picked up the number 2 headband and his dads head. Carrying them in his bag, he set off to examine retaliate from Justice. He went crazy and killed batch cruelly even though he was just a kid. Based on what happened to Afro when he was young, I analyse that he might suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (posttraumatic stress disorder). PTSD is an perplexity disorder caused by experiencing life- death situation, or witnessing out-of-control events.There are three types of PTSD symptoms intrusive recollection, avoidance/ benumb, and increased anxiety or emotional arousal. Afro tended to constitute some symptoms that are re lated to avoidance and intrusive memory. While watch the first half of the second episode, I notice that Afro prefers not to talk. Lemonade, he replies shortly to the doll in the bar. Plus, he doesnt join some(prenominal) conversation with Ninja Ninja who most of the time talks endlessly. Afro definitely has emotional numbing as if he doesnt care about anything except revenge. Even though, his eyes are filled with sadness andanger, there is barely any facial expression shown when he is with his friend or when he kills people. On the other hand, Afro also experiences flashback in his sleep later he is save from a life and death situation. His breath becomes heavier and faster as he dreams about the bad incidents that has happened afterwards his father died such as world chased, humiliated, and beaten up. The flashback comes when the event tends to happen again. It might be impossible to recover Afros mental illness since his emotion is numb. However, in order to help him, I n eed to define what he desires the most.Since he only aims for avenging and killing, it will be appropriate to change his commending on his trauma and revenge. cognitive therapy potbelly help him reflect on the whole situation. With the help of a therapist, he will be able to replace his thoughts with more consummate and distressing thoughts. What would you do after you kill Justice? , Where are you button to take your life after you success your mission? , Do you think it will be the end after you kill Justice? , etc These questions can be asked to help Afro determine his real goal in life.The vista for Afros case depends upon the severity and length of time has suffered from PTSD. It will be difficult for Afro to recover since he was very aware when and how the incident happened. The intercession process can be continued for years. Afro will be more resemblingly to have fewer traumas when he sleeps, and show more emotion. As a human-being, he should be able to live and feel like a normal person. He might be addicted to seek revenge and kill people if he is not cured. Afros memory is mostly filled with his dads death.When he witnessed his dad died, his senses amass information and held those cruel details in sensory memory. From the sensory memory, the information was encoded and stored in working memory. Since the incident was too traumatic, it became flashbulb memory which was direct stored in long-term memory. Better than anyone else, Afro knows that this memory cant ever be forgotten and it will haunt him for the rest of his life. Even though, it pine to remember, it was what taught him to be strong and to be cruel to whoever tried to harm him.He kills people without a blink in his eyes just like how Justice did to his dad. Afro had suffered so much in the past, but it doesnt mean there is nothing bright in his memory. While he is unconscious after being poisoned and fell down from a cliff, he dreams about the unforesightful girl who had saved him in the past. The little girl with her teddy admit is probably the only light in his dark memory. This long-term memory is retrieved to working memory as the situation seemed to repeat. Afro tends to act gently to the lady who doesnt only save him but also cues him of that little girl.Maybe, after all, he is not a psycho killer. Painful memories tell him to be strong and give him the reason why he is alive. But, nice memories remind him that morality still exists in this shady world. After all, by ceremonial occasion Afro Samurai, Im able to discover more about psychological disorder and function of memory. The movie helps me encode information deeper, store them intermit in my working memory, and retrieve them more affectively. It also shows me that pain peradventure is not there to destroy people, but to give them the strength to live on and do better.
