Character Review ~ Shoya Ishida from A Silent Voice – Powerful Transformation

Hello everyone, Today I want to discuss one of the most emotional characters I've ever seen that is Shoya Ishida in A Silent Voice movie. It's very human and emotional to see a bully from school days transform into a teenager trying to apologize.

Shoya first appears as a selfish elementary school student who bullies a deaf girl named Shoko Nishimiya along with his classmates. However, when the school turns against him and Shoko leaves, Shoya is left alone, bullied by others and feels the burden of his own work. Later in high school he is lonely, depressed and can't look people in the eye due to guilt.

Life begins to change him when he meets Shoko again and tries to correct himself. It is the beginning of a painful, emotional and painful process through which we can find redemption. The story is based on Showa trying to mend relationships with others, rekindle friendships and forgive himself.

Showa is one of the most realistic and "humanly flawed" anime characters. I really enjoyed how A Silent Voice didn't rush his development and showed his guilt and trauma very clearly. His storyline can make it clear how incredibly difficult it is to change, how long the therapeutic processes can be and how much heroism and support it requires.

His silent and yet vulnerable, strength has influenced me a lot. Showa reminds us that people are capable of change, people can forgive and despite making mistakes, we remain good women or men who are worthy of love and redemption. That's it for today.
