shido blue lock manga academy's genius swordmaster chapter 15
“Diop and Pellegrini’s dueling revenge ploys unfold during a string of charity events organized by Pellegrini’s foundation. While these parties and concerts function mostly as backdrops, they continue to imbue the series with relevant subtext (in this case, about the perils of billionaire philanthropy). Where characters like Diop continue to shoulder the real brunt of systemic racism — his father, falsely accused of jewel theft, was an easy target in Pellegrini’s insurance scam — the show’s wealthy villains use philanthropy towards less-fortunate, non-white peoples both as their public-facing personas and as money-laundering schemes. Lupin Part 2 Images17 ImagesThe challenge with a villain like Pellegrini is that he makes it damn near impossible to speak truth to power since he owns so much of the police force and can so easily have dissenting journalists killed. He’s an embodiment of systemic rot, and Hervé Pierre personifies his power in delightful fashion; the stench of his arrogance is nauseating, even when the character doesn’t speak. However, Pellegrini’s all-encompassing menace doesn’t often push Diop or the show to find innovative solutions.
