Guess My Favourite Character Guys

Oh boy I thought people were over the Rayleigh-Zoro parallel being a 1 for 1 thing. But I see with this chapter they're not and now they're doing the same with Sanji and Gabán.

Rayleigh was a parallel to both Zoro and Sanji and Gaban's the same.

Rayleigh's a swordsman but he also uses his legs to fight while Gabán uses two axes (which ironically makes for 3 weapons + 1 pair of legs, it's probably just chance but who knows with Oda).

Rayleigh made fun of Zoro's stupidity the same way Sanji would, he's got a got a scar similar to Zoro's.

Rayleigh's a big drinker like Zoro and Gaban's very into love like Sanji.

Gaban's linked to Wano like Zoro and they both like to stir shit up.

Both Sanji-Zoro and Gabán-Rayleigh will not hesitate to argue against their captains if they feel like it's needed, so far Gabán and Zoro have only been shown to do it when they're particularly worried (both shown in chapter 1139), meanwhile Sanji and Rayleigh will scold Luffy-Roger for more mundane stuff as much as when they're worried.

So like outwardly Gabán-Sanji and Zoro-Rayleigh parallels are super obvious but in truth it's a mix because Luffy's crew is not just a copy of Roger's.

(also don't comment by saying that both Rayleigh and Zoro are 1st mate/Vice Captain as a parallel, Oda confirmed in vol. 102's SBS Zoro isn't, which we've been knew but apparently not everyone, anyway the idea of the Strawhats having a 1st mate is just weird when them not caring about hierarchy bc they're a family is so important)

BUNGOU STRAY DOGS CHAPTER 121.5 WILL BE WRITTEN ON MY GRAVESTONE

Douma really, really did not want to go home.

This was the first meeting of the Upper Moons in 113 years, and Douma was here for it. All he wanted to do was talk to everybody, talking and talking, even when he's not being listened to. He forgave any insult and injury, and his attempts to hang out with the Upper Moons after the work meeting reeks of desperation, even turning to Nakime at the end.

The only other people he's interacted with in between meetings are his followers and his unlucky victims, so his fellow Upper Moons are the only beings in existence remotely like and equal to him in any respect. They are the only beings he can form any real sort of bond with.

The problem is that Douma has no idea what a real bond looks like. He's been surrounded by brainless sycophants for more than a century. The closest he ever got was Kotoha, and we know how that turned out.

Douma was, I think, genuinely ecstatic to have an opportunity to become closer to his fellow Upper Moons, and annoyed when they all turned him down. Even if the moment was played for laughs, I think there's a part of it that's sad in hindsight, knowing Douma's backstory.
