However, the threat of the fish actually continues to expand and eventually reach the city, where we then get our first real twist and surprise involving the noxious gas/smell and the germs that come from these threats. This is where we start seeing some theories floated around about what exactly the fish creatures are and about where they come from. The walking fish aren’t all that intimidating (except for the sharks of course ) and due to a lack of real strong characterization or likeability for our leads, it’s hard to worry or feel any concern for them.įrom there, the story takes the characters away to Tokyo, where Tadashi meets up with his scientist uncle, Dr. The manga tries to sell you on how scary these creatures are, based on how fast and creepy-looking they are, but it never really feels frightening. No one knows what they are, where they came from, or how they came to be - they’re just there. Gyo basically starts off with Tadashi and Kaori on their vacation and encountering the insanity of the walking fish things. It’s just too bizarre and gross for its own good. However, unlike B-movies such as Dead/Alive, Samurai Cop, Troll 2, or even the original Piranha - this manga simply isn’t that fun or even entertaining.
In some ways, if you look at the story with that mindset, it could make the experience more tolerable or bizarrely fascinating. The best way to describe it is how someone described it to me: Gyo is like a B-movie in manga form: the weird and questionable science, the odd monsters that the characters are facing, how damn serious the manga takes itself despite everything going on in it, and more. It’s hard to really know where to start this series, but let’s give it a shot.
Gyo is one of strangest and most bizarre things I’ve ever read between what actually goes on in the story and the fact that it seems to take itself seriously.
However, before my description becomes a parody of The Addams Family theme song, the most important thing about Gyo that you should know is that it’s not particularly scary or even that great. So as you may have noticed: Gyo is weird. What’s causing this smell? Fish with mechanical legs that have crawled right out of the ocean, of course! While the premise may seem weird and ridiculous, this is just the start of something really filthy/nasty on the horizon that’ll change their lives.
However, a horrid stench besets Okinawa and Kaori’s extra sensitive nose starts making her really agitated. It seems like a nice trip, with the guy, Tadashi, getting in some scuba diving and girl, Kaori, seemingly enjoying herself as well.
