Love Marito leaning into their couple photoshoot and Arajin just like "haha just taking cute pics with my bro, totally platonic, nothing gay here!"

THIS and also the parallels between him an Matakara: like they have very similar flaws but the way they go about dealing with it and how they choose to essentially tamper down on them makes their relationship so compelling to me. They're so different but they've both been fighting their own fears and insecurities this whole show. At Bucchigiri's core I think it's a coming of age story.

i know a lot of people hate Bucchigiri because of Arajin, and tbh I totally understand that. But he is utterly fascinating to me as a character in a way that's really compelling.

He's selfish, shallow, a kiss-ass, and he despises confrontation. And yet he carves pretty stones to show his affection. In that way he's careful, devoted, and motivated by other people. But he doesn't actually think about what those people genuinely want from him; he projects his own desires onto others and by attempting to fulfill them, only ever really satisfies his own ego.

He's so simple-minded, so straightforward and determined, but he makes everything so needlessly complicated. I can't tell if he only cares about what others think of him, or if he genuinely fundamentally cares about people and just doesn't know how to show it or act on it because he's an immature teenager.

He's great to watch and I enjoy his cringe fail nature.
