''Now, say it! Tell me your wish!''

THE PARALLELS ARE DRIVING ME INSANE.

hiroko utsumi you've done it again....

Something² about them all idolizing someone and putting them into a pedestal

Thoughts after ep 8 of Bucchigiri?!

Maybe spoiler-ish, mostly about Matakara and Arajin

Like i get what Matakara is literally the sweetest boy that we need to protect at all costs, but there is a reason he has to grow as a character too, because, yeah, he's the nicest person, but nice people like can get themselves in trouble very easily (him getting close to Shindo, as every viewer screams internally for him to run out of there, for example), so in order to continue to be a nice living human, a person has to be selfish too, a person has to build boundaries and try to see things as they are. And in order to be brave you have to be afraid of something and then still decide to face your fears. It's not about not having flaws but about living with them and managing the horrors in your live and trusting yourself to overcome bad stuff, to maybe fall and then gather yourself and only then rise back again. And Arajin is obviously the silliest guy with zero communication skills sometimes, but well, at least he knows his limits and what he does and doesn't want. But he has the guts to be honest even though he's scared of disappointing the person that looks up to him and also too scared to face his weakness and his past, and he still doesn't choose the easiest way out which is lying to the person who will believe anything he says. Because he obviously cares, and in his own way he still tries to protect his childhood friend with his own two weak hands be it simply supporting him after fights, shouting nonsense to distract his opponent or helping with a party. That's not much, but that's still an effort, because it's easier to cut off the person you wronged before from your life and then make up some excuse to justify your behavior, than to face guilt and regret every day and still care. They're very similar in many ways and very different in others, they have different ideals and goals, but they make the same mistakes, and i love this, this makes their connection that interesting, and it makes me want them to ultimately resolve their issues and become the bestest buddies ever cause it seems possible. Their relationship will benefit from personal growth, and their personal growth relies on their relationship. They both could learn from each other and they both need more self awareness and confidence. I like how the plot just collides everyone's delusions, insecurities and conflicting motives, not giving a universal answer to all problems, instead it shows how this doesn't work, but people still can be together and do cool stuff and have fun even with all their differences, as shown in two previous episodes especially. I'm invested into relationships between each member of this ridiculous cast more and more each episode

i want mahoro to receive a love letter from a girl and actually be sorta flattered (this is how arajin remembers that gay people exist)

Guys the preview for episode 3 is crazy…

Very quick translation since I’m still half-asleep:

Arajin: Aaaahhh, what should I do to convey my passionate feelings to Mahoro-chan?

Matakara: Ara-chan, why are you holding your head like that?

A: Hey Matakara! How should I confess my feelings to someone?!

M: Huh? I think it's best to express your feelings in a sincere way, isn't it?

A: Ok then, try it on me!

M: What?! Me?! Uhhh... please allow me to cook miso soup for you every day!

A: The fuck you mean YOU'RE making the miso soup?!

M: Ah right! It would be more pleasant to cook together! You're so smart as always, Ara-chan!

Senya: YOOOOO ARAJIIIIIIINNNNNN

Translator's notes: "I want to cook for you every day" can be interpreted as a marriage proposal

An: THIS BLOODLINE ENDS WITH ME

Kohane: ...

Akito: ...

Touya: ....

The whole cafe: ....

Ken, while washing the dishes: this is the fanciest way i ever heard someone say "i'm gay"

the episode was interesting story-wise as always (aside from arajin having one extra cringe hetero moment not related to mahoro) it fell a bit short for me. maybe because it felt less crazy than the last two eps. Don’t get me wrong, it looked good as always, by no means disappointing- just between shots and the way the story plays out feels more… choppy?? something feels a bit off. I can’t explain it. If there’s something happening behind the scenes I hope gets remedied because I don’t want the production/story to go downhill because it has so much potential

On the positives: we get to see mahoro being an evil girlboss this episode, siguma squad and more delinquent gang lore seeing how differently each gang operates. the welcoming party you can tell they’re all having fun even tho they’re beating each other up

theories/questions for future episodes: does that mean if arajin is going to become marito’s successor will he fight matakara??? or will matakara fight marito or mahoro? it’d be interesting to see mahoro fight someone because she’s clearly capable of force and manipulation in other ways (slaps arajin, screams like a siren to get matakara to go away) Now that he knows the reason why arajin joined siguma I wonder how willing matakara is to fight for him/get him back.

I also wonder how the NG boys will play into the next/future ep. next episode is probably about the war between the gangs because that’s where the episode left off.

i actually dont care about these guys at all ❌❌
