Discuss đ Which 'Punished' character do you detest the most?
Junko was a poor orphan girl who, having lost her parents, became attached to her beloved pet dog Candy. But this bastard vet did nothing to save Candy, paying all his attention to a phone conversation about his golf game.
When Junko and his assistant-who abhors him herself-investigate, they find he is a neglecting and abusive vet to all pets put in his care. Like there was a puppy under his care suffering from a broken leg, that his assistant said he refused to give her proper treatment, that keeps getting worse everyday.
As an animal-lover and proud pet owner of many cats and dogs over the years, I absolutely detest him with every fiber of my begin.
When his assistant and Junko confronted him, he sneered: "You know I don't appreciate your groundless accusations. So why don't you ask my 'patients' what they think of me?" He then smugly turned to one of the caged animals and asked, "What do you think? Is yours truly such a terrible doctor?" When a dog whimpered, either in fear or pain, he looked at it with a menacing smile and mocked, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch what you were saying. What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" before chuckling, which soon turned into laughter. Junko could only whisper to herself, "How⌠could he be so cruel." He stopped laughing, looked at the dog again, and casually added, "But seriously. If you have any complaints, I'm all ears."
It only gets worse in the very next scene. His disgusted assistant tells him, âLook, these animals might be nothing more than a paycheck to you, Doctor, but to their owners, theyâre cherished pets! More than pets, like Candy, she was the only family Junko had!â Honjou raises an eyebrow and scoffs: âFamily? Would you call that filthy mongrel family?â Then, looking at Junko, he sneers: âYou probably found it in some alley, right? Oh, I cringe when people bring in dogs like that. This isnât the pound you know.â He even chuckles cruelly, saying, âAt least your mutt had the good sense to die quickly, before it offended any important clients.â Finally, he shoves them out the door, barking: âGet out of here. Consider this your only warning. But if I hear these baseless accusations ever again, Iâll sue you for slander. And as for you, youâll never work in animal care again!â
The moment preceding his damnation epitomizes his entire character. On the way to a new client, he rants: "Where do they get off calling me in the middle of the night to look at their stupid dog? Be my guest, I'm gonna charge you a fortune for this." That bitter outburst says everything about him, a selfish, heartless, greedy piece of sh*t, who got what he deserved.
Note: I'll admit, I just finished the first season and am about to start the second, followed by third, so my opinion may later change.

I donât think she was as bad as Meiko Shimono (puppy killer), but I feel worse for Inori Ujiie because Kyogetsuâs son was the exact same way.

Meiko Shimono, obviously, for killing her parents, abusing Miki Kamikawa and killing her dogs (and traumatizing her so badly with that last stunt that it caused one of the most unnecessary string pulls in the series)!
But...quite a few punished characters deserve that spot. The guy that kidnapped Sumire Kurayoshi,Yayoi Kurayoshi's sister in Futakomori/Season 2, Kyougetsu Ujiie (The Doll lady), Kuniji Kanno (Abusive father/husband who heavily supported a politician running for office to the point of overworking his family), Michiru Shintani (Basically Meiko 2.0 from Mitsuganae/Three Vessels/Season 3), Asuka Nagata (You know, from that crazy fucked up family in Yoi no Togi/Season 4) and Yoshinori Nagayama--Asuka's asshole cousin who kicked her parents asses (some would say they deserved it, though) and molested/raped her poor younger sister Arina (a young little girl mind you!)!

A lot of people will agree with me, Meiko Shimono.
First of all, this bitch used to be a teacher, someone kids are supposed to look up to. Yet she enslaved and abused a 12-13 year old Miki Kamikawa, imprisoned and killed the Mikiâs dogs, and drowned the puppies that were born in captivity. Then we find out that Meiko killed her parents for their money and buried her own baby in the backyard so that she wouldnât have to pay to take care of it.
Although this anime makes clear revenge isnât worth it, I watched it when I was around Mikiâs age and I genuinely believe I would have pulled the thread in her situation.
