Look, There's One Thing That Won't Make Sense If It Happens In Bucchigiri, Which Is That Mahoro Stays

Look, there's one thing that won't make sense if it happens in Bucchigiri, which is that Mahoro stays with Arajin because it's very clear that she doesn't like him. I don't know if Bucchigiri will be a yaoi but I would love it if it were possible to make several good couples and constructed assets.

Oh no doubt. Like maybe Mahoro won't see Arajin as much of a loser, but I highly doubt they'll actually get together. It would be super hilarious if Mahoro ended up fixated on Arajin as he gets stronger only for him to become more preoccupied with his conflict with Matakara, but probably not gonna happen.

Going by the director's previous work and, well, in general most anime won't just have canonically gay characters and romances unless it's explicitly stated to be a BL/GL/yaoi/yuri, etc. It's obvious they're going for the bromances, subtext, entendres, queer coded characters, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get actual lgbtq+ representation. Like if the narrative makes the subtext just text and there is a gay relationship in bucchigiri?! I would be so fucking happy.

I can understand why Arajin didn’t want to get involved with the gangs…….they all scare me😶 Matakara is cool, but if you always have a target on your back with the gangs inside your school and then people like the NG Boys outside of school it can get stressful for always being on high alert.

Like I fault him for being unreasonably cold to Matakara because of his own guilt over the past but he's totally within his rights to not want to be involved in a gang war where half of the people there have actively been giving him shit.

What is happening to Matakara is breaking my heart.

Damn my man is going through it.

SPOILERS:

Also, I didn't realize until Arajin said it outloud that Matakara didn't actually know this whole time he ran away from those bullies. Was that just me? I feel like that wasn't really explained prior. But whatever, as someone who lost an older sibling who was (always will be) my best friend, I legit started crying thinking Mitsukuni was already dead. Like wtf, when did this show get so real?

Also, also, totally off topic...but damn was Ichiya worth the wait. 🥵

Thank you for your Bucchigiri content! I love the diversity of your stories. Matakara is amazing, but sometimes I want to read about Shindo too and you write him very well. Can’t wait for more of him the coming episodes, it looks like he hasn’t given up yet considering the last episode.

Thanks so much! I love writing them and I love both the characters for very different reasons; like Matakara is such a good Boi and Shindo is so fun to watch be an asshole. I'm glad he's still going to be involved in the series it feels like a waste if the writers were like "welp, he's been defeated don't need him in the story anymore".

Is anyone curious about Ichiyas chibi form? 😆

Oh shit I didn't think of that. I wonder if he has one but is like, no I'm too cool to shrink down.

Somehow the english dub VA for Shindo managed to make this petty psycho sound 10x more horny and gay and I am LIVING FOR IT.
