The Key To Analyzing Bucchigiri Thematically Is Realizing Two Things:

The key to analyzing Bucchigiri thematically is realizing two things:

1. fighting is not the only metric by which passion and worth and love are defined (something shown by Mahoro's personal strength/determination)

2. Arajin's rejection of Matakara is not out of disinterest or dislike, it is as a result of not feeling worthy of him

Despite all its pomp and spectacle, Bucchigiri is a show that cares deeply about how its details portray feelings beyond the superficial. Just by looking at how often Mahoro and Matakara are visually and narratively compared is just one such detail. Specific phrasing and word choice (in Japanese) is another, as Arajin distinctly uses impersonal as opposed to critical language when addressing Matakara (something the sub and dub ignore to varying degrees, often making his dialogue take on a harsher tone).

The biggest thematic takeaway from Bucchigiri is that you don't have to be the person someone expects of you to be loved by them. Arajin doesn't need to share Matakara's passion in fighting to be loved by him and to love him in return. And Matakara doesn't need to always be strong to be able to find some reason to live. He is worthy of other people's love just by being himself.

"Rather than pointless fights, I want promises."

This is the only part in the ending theme that is sung with two voices laid on top of each other and it encapsulates what Bucchigiri wants to say about its relationships. That the bond two people choose to share is more important than any pride you can leverage trying to prove something.

I just reread Love Bullet and I'm back in obsession mode!

So, theory time!!

In Koharu's backstory, there's this one panel that briefly showed a Cupid's intervention

I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!
I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!

And like, it isn't seen who that cupid was, and since they don't dwell on it, we're made to assume it was someone random and irrelevant, BUT

Don't we know a certain cupid who uses bombs?

I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!

And another thing!! It was Kanna who greeted Koharu when she first woke up as a cupid

Not only that, she was assigned as her mentor

I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!
I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!

She also seemed to already know that Koharu was best friends with Aki

I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!

SO! With all that being said, what if Kanna was watching over Koharu even before the latter became a cupid?

We've seen how perceptive Koharu is when it comes to spotting people who are compatible as a couple

I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!

So what if Kanna recognised Koharu's accuracy and started using her love advice to others as basis for which target to shoot?

We've already seen in the pilot that she trusts in Koharu to have the final say

I Just Reread Love Bullet And I'm Back In Obsession Mode!

What if the reason Kanna dotes on her so much is because, aside from being her mentor, she had already developed a sort of fondness for her when Koharu was still alive?

Anyway that's all I have in mind! Just some random thoughts from this stranger :D

4 parts of an intentionally-poorly drawn comic on a gray background. Mainly consists of text with occasional doodles of Jett & Kai from Project Eden's Garden.

Jett: Yo, Kai... I think I'm getting better at this whole detective thing 'cause I've finally figured you out.
Kai: ? Figured out what, exactly?

Jett: Hehe... Don't be intimidated. I'll show my evidence like a real detective~ First, you asked to sleep with a girl. Kinda weird, y'know?

Then a few days ago, you had... uh, fuck. The thing that girls use on their period.

Kai: ...Like, a tampon?

Jett: Yeah! Heh... see, I even got you to admit that you know what that is.
Jett: Anyway, you had one ready to go in your pocket when Diana needed one.

That's what really put me on your scent, 'cause I don't know any normal guy who'd have that.

Kai: H-hey, I just picked it up in the pharmacy... Where's this going, man?

Jett: Don't get too nervous yet, Bro. I've still got one last clue to put the final straw in the coffin.

I noticed that even when it's burning hot outside, you're still wearing so many layers. And that's 'cause you're hiding something, am I right?
Kai: W-woah, what the hell? This isn't-

Jett (interjecting): You've actually got some muscle going on under all that, don't you?
You don't want the rest of guys to realize we have some serious competition!

Kai: ... What?

Jett: Heheh... totally shocked you. It must really be the truth then: You're a total casanova and trying to get with all the girls. You've gotta have serious experience with them to think of carrying around period stuff, y'know?
Jett: Don't worry, I'll never spill a bro's secrets.
But, bro-to-bro, you don't have to worry about any competition with me. I don't really like girls like that, you get me?

Ok seeya.

The Shards of Childhood

Donate to Fundraiser to help Ghada's children from Gaza, organized by Lucrezia Fontana

Hello, I'm Lucrezia. I created this fundraiser in hopes of helping a fr… Lucrezia Fontana needs your support for Fundraiser to help Ghada's

The city I knew, the one my children chased pigeons in and learned to ride bikes on, is gone. War, a cruel sculptor, has reshaped its once vibrant streets into a desolate landscape of twisted metal and shattered dreams.exclamation Buildings that held laughter and the scent of baking bread now stand as hollow shells, their windows vacant eyes staring back at a ravaged sky. Memories, too, lie fractured beneath the rubble. Gone are the echoes of children's games played in sun-dappled courtyards, replaced by the relentless thud of shelling. The familiar scent of jasmine, once a signature note in the summer air, is now tainted by the acrid tang of destruction. Each corner used to hold a story - the bakery where my daughter devoured warm croissants, the park bench where my son scraped his knee for the first time. Now, these fragments of our lives exist only in the fragile museum of my mind, a place where the war cannot reach, but still manages to cast a long shadow. Yet, amidst the wreckage, a flicker of hope remains. Like fragile wildflowers pushing through cracked concrete, the resilience of the human spirit endures. We, the survivors, carry the weight of this loss, but also the fierce love for our children and the yearning to rebuild. We will gather the shards of our memories, piece by broken piece, and weave them into a tapestry of a new future, one where laughter finds its voice again and our children can dream safe dreams, free from the haunting echoes of war

something I love about Anakt Garden uniforms is how they differ between each character, so here's a few little observations (sorry for the crude doodles)!

went on twitter and actually i think some ppl are slightly misunderstanding what matakara meant when he accused arajin of lying. like...it's true, arajin never lied to matakara about wanting to fight in the present, so it would be unreasonable to call him out on that specifically. but like

Went On Twitter And Actually I Think Some Ppl Are Slightly Misunderstanding What Matakara Meant When

with the way the emphasis is placed on arajin's strength the whole argument, plus the cut to the flashback, matakara was asking if a) arajin's strength/bravery, and b) the promise made to him in the past, the foundation of their entire childhood friendship, were a lie. which, y'know, the promise wasn't, arajin definitely meant it at the time. but arajin doesn't want to admit that or outright deny it, so he deflects by saying it's not true anymore.

Went On Twitter And Actually I Think Some Ppl Are Slightly Misunderstanding What Matakara Meant When

to me the focus of the argument was arajin forcing matakara to see him as he sees himself (ie. as a weak, selfish coward), shattering matakara's delusional idea of him in the process. arajin using senya to become strong isn't an inherently malicious lie, and i honestly don't think matakara thinks that either. to matakara the 'lie' is both the version of arajin he made up and the genuine things arajin told him in the past.
