MODERATORS
It lasted even longer in the original, as did the humiliation of the pilot. So far the remake has been very true to the original, but modernized. They made the boiling water scene more intense, but shorter. If it keeps being like the original then that first episode is the hardest to watch.
They also respected the philosophical aspect of it, with a pensive monologue that reflects the ambivalent nature of the scene and the character of Yabu in the book.
Also, good call removing the CSA scene from the book but still keeping the sexual perversion of the character present.
