Okay, let's play a little game we will ask questions regarding Monster's plot and scenes with Johan that is illogical or realistically implausible and the answer should be "Because he is Johan" . Let's start;

How did Johan escape from a burning building completely unharmed when all exists were locked and the fire was spreading all around?

Because he is Johan.

Because he is Johan.

Exits were not blocked, you saw Tenma shoot the dor and save a lot of people

Nevertheless, when Tenma made his exit the fire has already spread all around and there was not enough time for Johan to escape unharmed.

How can Johan detect serial killers and take them under his control?

Because he is Johan.

Better question is how tf Roberto survived two gunshot wounds and a fall from like 30 feet in a burning building.

Wasnt the candy wrapper just the kind that has the ends twisted, like a jolly rancher? its pretty easy to open those and retwist them closed.

Ah that makes sense. But in that case, he probably replaced all the candies with poison, which means he knocked out more than 3 people in the hospital, off camera obviously.

Been a long time since I read Monster, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember they said Johan founded and operated a bank at a very young age (like 13, 14).

How was he able to do that? Because he's Johan

Nah, I think Johan made him hold the bottle so that he could push him off the building.

There would still not be enough believable evidence to convince people it’s a murder.

It's pretty clear he planned something before the event, whether that's a hidden door or a window or anything really

No reason to think he didn't just push him, but if we assume he didn't then the explanation is that Johan abused the fact that the detective couldn't forgive himself for shooting that kid because he knew deep down that it wasn't an accident, so in other words, he commited suicide. I don't know why you think a detective would for whatever reason be insanely good at human psychology?

So apparently the cannon explanation is that he snucked into another room in the hospital and used a syringe with some kind of human poison to put it into the candy, the hole was obviously at the bottom so they wouldn't see it and he simply placee it nearest to them so they'd eat it (its also possible he put poison in m the other bags aswell just incase)

No but I'm 99% sure that Naoki Urasawa said it at some point in an interview or something, can't be bothered to find it now though

Because he is Johan.

I think that Johan escaping from multiple situations that a normal human being wouldn't be able to are meant to emphasize more on what he is principally interpreting in the show, that being the concept of a "Monster". The main idea that Naoki wanted to share by using Johan is the darkness within every human's nature, the monster is a metaphor to everyone's darkness. But it could be that Naoki made Johan escape these type of situations for the reader to also perceive him as an ACTUAL monster, not only in a methaphorical sense. A monster would be able to escape situations where humans wouldn't be able to right? because of it's super-natural abilities. And i think Johan escaping situations where all of us couldn't are meant to make him a lot more terrifying and mysterious and unnatural in order for the reader to actually question wether he is a true monster or a human being just like everybody else. And i think he really succeeded with that.

Not really that implausible. The man was previously an alcoholic. Johan just pushed him back into it by manipulating him with his guilt about murdering some kid
