Maou review (part 2)

[barbosa2007]

The dual face of Ohno (Naruse Ryou) is presented!

 

Scene 2: Ohno is portrayed as the prodigious lawyer with the face and personality of an angel.

 

The scene changes to the courtroom, where Ohno has just won a case which was deemed impossible to win. Reporters swarm him, asking for his opinion on the case.

 

“Didn’t you think that by winning you’ve just created a miracle?”

 

“I simply illuminated the truth. I did not do anything special.”

 

“May we have your photo?”

 

“My apologies. I have somewhere I need to go to.” (i.e. Toma stalking)

 

Ohno walks away with the confidence of a consummate professional, unlike the slightly hunched posture we are used to seeing him assume in variety shows. His steps are measured, his direction sure. However, when we see him enter the dark room (where his personality as the devil emerges), he walks with a predatory grace that differs slightly from his lawyer persona.
