The Most Normal Saiou Doodles Ive Drawn That Have Never Seen The Light Of Day Aside From My Friends On

"....My dick has led me to places you couldn't even imagine"

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.

they’re posing like they’re from one direction

I did find it interesting that while Arajin was laying on the ground and while watching Matakara, he got flashbacks to his childhood when little Matakara got beat up. I think seeing that alone made the guilt smack him back in the face.

But then he saw Mahoro in the same situation, and she stood her ground. He told her to run, because that's what Arajin did and thats what he wished little Matakara did, he didn't want to see her attacked the same way Matakara was.

But she didn't run. I guess seeing his crush stand so strong and brave finally made him not want to run away like he ran away from little Matakara. So instead he got up to defend her, because whether he realizes it or not, he now can defend people who are dear to him.

Now all that I need to see is him willing to defend Matakara, I feel like considering what happened during his childhood itd make sense for this to happen? But his confidence is still low, despite random outbursts of confidence (thanks to Senya)

I dont know much about Aladdin and the overall story, but I've seen people say that Arajin might lose his powers at one point. That would be interesting, since his confidence and strength in fighting came mostly because of Senya

Can’t believe that Utsumi posted another sketch in honour of the final episode of BUCCHIGIRI?! English dub.

Also the fact that she acknowledges the fandom associating Matakara as a toy poodle?!?! HELLO?!

HAI HAPPY NEW YEAARR ALSO

DIGITAL ART STUFF !1!!1!!!!

we're getting farther and farther apart

you're drifting farther and farther away i think of you all the time

no matter what i try

you're within reach,

but i can't grasp for you.

my girlies <3

always looking...

I still firmly believe that Bucchigiri?! is the anime that would have benefited from having 25 episodes. A lot of the issues with this series could be fixed if it had 2 cours instead of 1...
