Why are ogres so strong? As far as I know Ogres and Karmic demons are regular humans who (explained in conventional terms) have suffered and become full blown Sociopaths and heavily depressed individuals, respectively, who use all their might in throwing and restraining, again respectively, all their power at those surrounding them, but one way (consciously) or another (unconsciously) it goes out and hurts others.

My first question is: Does this affect anybody or just a few?
The Second question is more a set of questions than anything:
If just a few, then who? Talented/powerful people?
If everybody, then does that mean that the world was filled with Ogres and Karmic Demons before the current order came in to place? If so, when why did the false Minoshiro (whatever that means) forgot to mention it? Or did I forget to watch it in the 3 times I watched the episode?

But the one thing that bothers me the most, which is basically based off all the previous questions is my third and last question: Why the hell are Ogres so goddamn powerful?

I mean, look at the Messiah, child of Maria and Mamoru, taken off them by Yakomaru.
The first and only human kid the rats get in their hands on, breed to adolescence (which is when they get their powers) and turns out to be a killing sociopath with powers as immense as the most powerful dude in the village. This case essentially brings up all the previous questions I asked, which if you didn't notice, is driving me mad.

So, does anyone have any answers?
There's a few subtleties that aren't easy to pick up. Which is normal. From the New World is a very deep show and it isn't easy to get everything - even after rewatching it multiple times.

Correct so far.


  My first question is: Does this affect anybody or just a few? If just a few, then who? Talented/powerful people?


It's fair to say that everybody could become an Ogre. The determining factor seems to be the person's mental and psychological state of the person.

Power is not a factor. But depending on how you define "talent", it can be. For example, if you can't control your Canti, then you may turn into a Karma Demon.


  If everybody, then does that mean that the world was filled with Ogres
  and Karmic Demons before the current order came in to place?


It wasn't filled with them. Ogres were rare. It was mentioned at one point that there only like 20 recorded events of them over several hundred years.

It's only in case where a person is going through extreme stress and or innate desire to hurt do that have any chance of becoming an Ogre.

  off all the previous questions is my third and last question: Why the
  hell are Ogres so goddamn powerful?
