(Bonus Episode)
Issei Sagawa, a Japanese man, gained international notoriety for his horrific act of cannibalism in 1981. While studying in Paris, Sagawa invited his Dutch classmate Renée Hartevelt to his apartment, where he killed her and cannibalized parts of her body over several days. Arrested while attempting to dispose of her remains, he was declared legally insane by French authorities and committed to a mental institution. In 1984, he was extradited to Japan, where he was declared sane and released after just 15 months due to legal technicalities preventing further prosecution. Post-release, Sagawa capitalized on his infamy through books, films, and media appearances, becoming a disturbing figure in popular culture.
