Are There Female Geniuses In Bucchigiri? I Thought About This After Senya Said She Wanted A Family With

Are there female geniuses in Bucchigiri? I thought about this after Senya said she wanted a family with Arajin, you know, they didn't even have any interaction, but I ship Senya with Ichya a lot.

Lol I think Senya just said that to distract Arajin from his question and there's the running gag double entendre about "merging" and what it means. Reminds me of when guys who really want to have sex might say "Uh, it's cause I want to start a family with you baby! I'm really serious about you so let's do it" or something like that.

I am curious as to whether there are any other genies at all besides Senya and Ichiya. Maybe they're the only two to exist in that world? Maybe there's others in other areas of the world?

Also, what is that smoky shadowy thing supposed to be? Is it a metaphorical image of feelings Matakara is struggling with? Part of Ichiya's powers/magic? I'm kinda confused still.

It’s a great move for writing a story but I just detest when the villain isn’t exactly lying to you. Even though Shindo has been an enemy for most of the series so far, Matakara is trusting him because he hasn’t lied to him. He was right about Arajin and he was right how get Ichiya so Matakara can get the “power” he wants.

It's like yes, Arajin is using someone else's power to be strong (for his own reasons, primarily to impress Mahoro)and he is a coward, but he hasn't tried to do anything to convince Matakara he's still that kid who had those high ideals and wanted to be a Honki person. Every step of the way he's told Matakara "No, I'm not who you think I am, I don't care about that stuff now, I just want a girlfriend and to not get my ass kicked, and I don't even consider you my friend anymore we haven't spoken in 5 years".

Shindo sees how one track mind Matakara is, how wholly committed he is to his own moral code, his beliefs about strength and Honki people, and the pedestal he's put Arajin on. It's all come crashing down on him and Matakara is also dealing with his brother (who he also idolizes) possibly dying and his own fears and doubts (is that what the smoky thing is? Srsly wtf is that thing? Is it literal or metaphorical?). I'm on pins and needles to see what Matakara plans to do next.

The man is a delusional simp but like...it's super funny to me his main quirk among this cast of crazy is he's just a horny ass teenager who really wants a girlfriend and doesn't want to be in a gang war (guessing he got it from his in love with love mama)

Also, I do unironically dig how he was ready to take Mahoro's last name, no debate, no second thoughts, only how cute it would be cause Jin Arajin is the same thing backwards. Definition of "me and my girl don't fight she tells me what to do and I shut up and do it".

This is hands down the funniest fucking thing he has ever said an it so true.

Y'all are in high school someone get a fucking adult to come pick these dumbasses up. Call an ambulance- like it takes you right out of the anime fantasy bullshit and it's so funny.

If Ara was more like this throughout the show I would love him. Just someone who was 100% like "what are you talking about we are in high school chill the fuck out." I love how I paused right before mahoro says some outta pocket bullshit.

I know she is, she only cares about her brother. So she is really about to go full crazy OR cry and that's gonna make Ara idk do some bullshit.

yesterday I watched bucchigiri and I was totally devastated by poor Matakara he has only suffered since the beginning of the anime. If at the end of the anime Matakara doesn't forgive Arajin I won't think it's a bad ending or if Matakara forgives him and doesn't want to be his friend anymore either I won't find a bad ending. I hope that at the end of the anime Matakara will benefit and not that he will suffer more.

Honestly I'd like them to be friends again and I feel like that is probably where the shows going to (especially with the emphasis on the two being parallels of each other and how the narrative seems to want the audience to root for them to make up) But if it ends with them amicably deciding to go separate ways I can see that too. I'm super curious how Matakara is going to act towards Arajin now that he's been essentially forced to see that the images he's had of him all this time isn't who he built up Arajin to be. As much as Arajin sucks at times, I couldn't honestly say I dislike his character; he's more just interesting to me, it's been a while since I've been so invested in seeing how a character is going to change or grow in the story.

Dammit I wish the writers didn't make her love for Marito weirdly romantic. Seriously, Mahoro is such a fun crazy ass character. My jaw dropped during this scene, I momentarily simped like Arajin. Don't get me wrong, she’s horrible, but most of these characters aren't particularly "good" people.

People go read this!!!

A link to this Twitter/X thread that I found by chance that describes Arajin’s character as a whole because some people on the Internet are way too harsh on his character.
