A silent voice eng dub9/9/2023 I had some issues with the scene where Shoya’s mother chews him out for his aborted suicide attempt (by jumping off a bridge)-it’s almost played for laughs, with the money he paid her back for Shoko’s injury accidentally going up in flames. This is what a teenager who requires urgent professional mental health input looks like. After Shoko thankfully leaves the toxic school environment, it becomes Shoya’s turn as his friends scapegoat him as the ringleader and his social standing instantly crumbles. Shoya’s mother has to humiliate herself by paying for replacements for Shoko’s hearing aid and is also implied to have her own ear injured in payback. They tease her behind her back, ignore her, throw dirt in her face, steal her hearing aids, injure her ear and their apathetic teacher takes no action until the head teacher gets involved. Never once does she hit back or even display irritation, yet like in real life that’s a red flag to a bull with some children. Shoko is portrayed as an easy target - soft, eager to please and forever apologising, though she seems to be a genuinely nice kid and the early scenes of bullying do not hold back on the depiction of children as cruel little bastards. He’s the ringleader of the kids who bully the pink-haired deaf transfer student Shoko Nishimiya. Main protagonist Shoya Ishida is initially portrayed as a horrible kid. Mean kid Shoya at the point where everything starts to go wrong for him.
