It's all thanks to Shiraishi and his ridiculous haircut whatever that is

It's downright criminal that one brawler philanderer guy gets his own cover before our beloved, peaceful, pure-as-the-driven-snow Shiraishi.

The badass animal cruelty quota has already been hit by several other characters by this point.

It'll take more than that to win my heart.

I don't even remember the philanderer guy, but i can't ever forget the clattering teeth bonding near-death experience that The Immortal had with The Escape Artist.

Seriously, swallowing blades tied to your teeth is so insane it's almost commendable

It's this guy:



One of the missing tattooed criminals. He's super strong and a regular patron of the local brothel. No idea what's up with his forehead though.

Probably a surgically implanted metal plate* to cover up an injury that made him strong/crazy/both.

I always figured it was bone growth, like his freakishly thick skull (something like that was mentioned early on maybe?) + repeated trauma from head-butting got him a permanent bump there or something.

so in ch12 the guy with a weird forehead (Ushiyama?) refers to himself as having a thick skull when Hijikata takes a swing at his head with a katana. i guess it's natural

I hope it's just going to be him doing a double-cross on the shinsengumi guys. I want to believe in Shiraishi.

I believe in Shiraishi but his self-preservation instinct is incredibly strong and I'm interested in how his sense of loyalty is going to conflict with it, hopefully through a series of humorous faces :v:

I think honestly he's more afraid of getting on Asirpa and Sugimotos bad side than anybody elses. He can always weasel and escape his way out of the other two factions clutches, but they've tracked him down multiple times.

I actually wondered whether or not the reason he left marks on his victims was because he wanted someone to track him down and kill him like his brother.

Guess that answers that question.

New chapter, in which let's all take a moment to appreciate the nameless redshirt soldier who gets stabbed through his eye, right out the back of his skull, pinning him to a wall and still has enough fight in him to grab the spear and shoot the dude who shanked him :stare:

The soldiers that keep showing up are masks picked men and hard veterans like sugimoto, they just lack whatever spark makes them immortal. Remember the ones that messed with the bear?

All of them tough.

Yeah everyone in 7th division have the same kind of eyes, they're all stone cold badasses.

Sugimoto is capable of tapping into the same kind of fury, but has not lost himself in a desire for carnage. his memories of the past help pull him from the brink.

Also, god drat the final action sequence was awesome: the block with the rifle, and the two clean shanks to the side. My only complaint is that the position of the bullet wound keeps changing: the exit wound was initially at the right flank, then it shifted to the left, and then the entry wound has shifted back to the right.

It has been a long time since I've actually liked a cast of characters in an animes book, maybe that's why this series is so endearing. I'm tired of goofballs and annoying pricks as the main character's foil
Will-they-won't-theys are loving boring as well just kiss the girl already jeez
