Mahoro, Matakara, Aladdin and the Princess

I think Episode 8 finally confirmed to me that the role of the Princess in the Aladdin allusion was actually split between Mahoro and Matakara, rather than it being one or the other. There's a reason why they're both represented by Jasmine-chan during the Nyan Nyaight Love cutaways!

Preface; imo Bucchigiri's narrative takes inspiration from both Disney's Aladdin and the original Aladdin story, so I'm going to switch the Princess's name depending on which version of her I'm referring to. So Jasmine -> Disney's Aladdin, and Badroulbadour -> 1001 Nights Aladdin.

From what I saw in the 1001 Nights Aladdin, Badroulbadour didn't have much of a personality, so it makes sense that a lot of Mahoro and Matakara's personalities were taken from Jasmine, while their roles in the story were slightly more influenced by Badroulbadour.

Mahoro: The feistier side of Jasmine. She has a sharp tongue and always speaks her mind, regardless of potential danger. Eg. Mahoro stands up to Akutaro after he gains the upper hand on both gangs, similarly to how Jasmine refuses to bow to Jafar when he becomes Sultan.

She's also regarded as pretty desirable, and has charmed several men to get them to do what she wants (something that both Jasmine and Badroulbadour do at some point to trick Jafar/the sorcerer). Arajin falls for Mahoro at first sight, similarly to how both versions of Aladdin fell for both versions of the Princess, and like Aladdin his crush on her becomes his driving motivation throughout the series. Akutaro also talks about turning her into a NG Girl and…abusing her, a la Jafar. Ik it's just to trigger Arajin but yk what I mean!

Matakara: The gentler, more naive side of Jasmine, in that he trusts/believes in Arajin...a lot more than he should, really. The main 'lying' plot point between Disney's Aladdin and Jasmine is directly implemented into Matakara and Arajin's relationship. On a surface level there's also their blue colour schemes and phonetically similar names (Asamine -> Jasmine). Near the climax of the 1001 Nights version, the sorcerer tricks Badroulbadour into giving him the lamp with the genie in it, similarly to how Akutaro manipulates Matakara into shooting himself with Ichiya. Both actions trigger a Very Bad Turn of Events that Aladdin stops/will have to stop with the help of his own genie.

Also very interesting how Ichiya has a moon motif, and Badroulbadour's name is a metaphor for female beauty meaning 'full moon of full moons'. Totally not losing my fucking mind over that no sir

Though they both fit the Princess allusion, the entire show is screaming that Matakara is Arajin's true Jasmine, and Arajin is going to realise he was what he needed all along. Honestly, it doesn't get more obvious than Episode 9.

That's not to mention how Mahoro and Matakara also have many, many parallels to each other via their relationships with Arajin. (Both visit him one-on-one at his mom's restaurant to convince him to do something and order the exact same dish, Arajin thinks of child Matakara after seeing both current Matakara and Mahoro get hurt, his meetings with both of them are juxtaposed with one another and described as a 'fated meeting' in this trailer, etc.)

Aside from that, there's also a lot of little stuff that the two have in common! (Both suck at cooking, both deeply care about their older siblings, both are cute as hell etc etc.)

(it's also pretty neat how they're technically both the respective 'princesses' of Minato Kai and Siguma, being the younger siblings of the leader/former leader of each gang!)

BUCCHIGIRI?! EP06: Much Much Friendship! Nira-Reba-lution 21!

Bucchigiri Ep 7 Title

As I just said in my last post the episode titles are based on song titles.

I was trying to figure out what the song for next week is and it appears to be a classical song called The Sea, the Tears, and I

I've never heard it before but that's the only thing that I see when I try to search things similar to the title.

My bigger concern is why they translated マジバブ as "Maji Croquette".... WTF do they think a Croquette is?

The majibab has been featured so many times in the series already they should know what it is. That is NOT a croquette.

(I'm also laughing because the mappa subs did okay in that screenshot but crunchyroll can't even get the episode title right)

☆. Preview pics for the 8th episode of Bucchigiri?! + preview vid :3

THIS EPISODE WAS SO ... UGH IDK

I'm impatient and I want to know what is Senyas deal. I also can't wait for Arajin to change more. He was nice to Matakara this episode so I'll take the crumbs that show there's hope... I can't believe we are halfway through the anime...

Rambles underneath

Ok first things first i gotta get it off my chest but I s2g one thing I hate the most is when male characters spend days, months, years chasing after a girl that doesn't like them, only for the girl to eventually be like "yk what you're not that bad, you changed now" so they start dating. And this-

-THIS small scene reminds me of that. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up together after this scene idk. Side note, I liked Mahoro this episode idc 👑

Next thing... Get someone who can support and adore you the same way Matakara adores Arajin because dude?!?!

Hes TEARY EYED because of Arajin like cmon. Impressive lol

ALSO ARAJIN WAS FINALLY NICE TO MATAKARA

It still pissed me off that he just laid and watched everyone get beat up until Mahoro stepped in and that is when Arajin was like "ok maybe I WILL do something!" 😐😐😐😐😐😐 put this dude in a romcom not in a fighting anime plsss 😭😭 but I get that a point of his character...

Also I'm glad i was right about this part lol. He doesn't view them all as friends. Hopefully that will change

bucchigiri ep 8 thoughts (a.k.a. the drama-loving bitch inside me finally gets fed):

marito <- mahoro (can't take a hint) <- arajin (even worse at taking a hint) <- matakara (the worst at taking a hint)

ope well ara is back to being a dick to matakara

okay he's being a liiiiiiittle nice

matakara asking all the people in his life to attend is very sweet

i wonder if he asked ara to host because that's the only way he'd get ara to attend? hmm

kenichiro's little smile 😭

not senya proposing lmao

eh shindo seems a little too sincere. trying to trick matakara? is ichiya making him get close so he can merge with matakara?

oh yeah definitely lol

i need this show to give me more than a static shot of ichiya cause his outfit slays

the animation on the gyoza-making is beautiful

also really nice to see something that arajin is good at that isn't given to him by magic. also nice to see him in a moment where he isn't the butt of the joke about how sad and horny he is

the colors got all desaturated... i'm a bit scared for what is going to go wrong with this party

does kenichiro own any other coat

did he die??? get jumped????

zabu and komao are real ones

hell yeah zabu go off

eat your goddamn guilt gyoza arajin

is ichiya gonna get him when he's weak hearted, like as implied in the first scene?

matakara even during a crisis you are still so gay. arajin is literally just a guy you need to prioritize yourself sweetie

i want matakara to go absolutely apeshit he deserves it

matakara your childhood friend who weighs 100 lbs soaking wet showed up one day with the power of a god and you never considered maybe he might be getting a little outside help

so is a big theme of this show about the dangers of idolization maybe? matakara believes in arajin to an unhealthy extent which only hurts him when he finds out he's nothing like how he imagines. ara is constantly hurt by mahoro failing to be the moe-blob gf of his dreams. mahoro is hurt when her brother doesn't return her affection. we're dealing with a lot of one-sided relationships here

i'm glad ara is finally being genuine and telling the truth

also maybe dealing with how idolization hurts the ones we idolize?

matakara :(

damn matakara is getting possessed by senya's evil gay ex. brainwashed by the homosexual agenda.

ICHIYA IS STUNNING oml

that was a really great episode! i wish we had gotten to this point earlier in the season though. i hope we keep up this more serious tone until the end. it's nice to finally get some real emotional catharsis. probably my fav episode of the season so far. i'm very excited to learn about senya and ichiya's falling out.
