Theme 

The theme of "Ryuko" is  "There is good and evil on both sides of the same currency."
The author thinks that each righteousness is the same as the number of humans.
In other words, it is sometimes evil.
This story is not a moral trial or a mere revenge play.
It is the story of men and women who discover or lose sight of each righteousness.

Another theme is "Father and daughter".
Ryuko suffers from a deep karma of father murder.
The father and daughter of China Mafia who is the enemy of Ryuko also suffers from the cruel tradition of the organization.

These two themes are intertwined complexly.
It is a story of a person who believes in"righteousness" in confusion, despair, blood and gunpowder smoke.

​『龍子』のテーマの一つは「善と悪は表裏一体」です。
人間の数と同じだけそれぞれの正義があると作者は考えます。
別の見方をすれば、それは時に悪でもあります。
この物語は勧善懲悪でも、単なる復讐劇でもありません。
それぞれの正義を発見、または見失う男女たちの物語です。

もう一つのテーマは「父と娘」です。

龍子は父親殺しという深い業を背負い苦しみながらも
自分のすべきことを見つけます。

もう一つの父娘は、中華マフィアの娘と堅気の父親です。
彼らも残酷な伝統に苦しむことになります。

 

やがて物語は、中華秘密結社と米国の情報機関などの
思惑が絡み合う混沌へと進みます。
