The Hunting Dogs - Blog Posts

I forgot his name 🥲

Low key the hunting dogs are so much further detached from humanity than I think we give them credit for.

Aside from the obvious dehumanizing of themselves to characters like Sigma or Kunikida, they also just treat their bodies like objects.

Teruko punctures her own eardrums without hesitation to protect her brain.

Jouno’s first thought when being lit on fire is using his blood to cool the flames.

Tecchou says that even if they knock him down from the helicopter, he’ll just use his sword to get right back up, not even mentioning the pain.

Tachihara stabs himself with his own ability to keep his cover. When the coin bomb explodes in his hand, he’s only mildly upset that it could’ve “messed him up”, before going back to what he was doing.

Fukuchi was willing to be the centerpiece of his plot for world peace, and intentionally took the blame. It’s no mistake that his plan included his death.

Beyond all that, Teruko describes them as slaves to society. Tachihara (and I think Fukuchi also does this) refers to them as the fangs of the government.

One of the translations of Fukuchi’s speech to Fukuzawa while he’s being interrogated is that the Hunting Dogs won’t rest until they catch their prey because that’s how they were designed.

Idk just something abt the silly dog soldiers and their own humanity. Not questioning it, that’s not their place. They already know that they’re weapons.

Is anyone gonna talk about the fact that Ranpo completely regressed to a pouty teenager when he was reunited with Fukuchi???

Like this grown-ass 26 year-old man went from “I trust you because the president does” to “actually I’m very possessive of my adopted dad, and I am quite petty about it because you have more life experiences with him than I do and a connection with him that’s different from mine, and that makes me very insecure.”

Like he went full “don’t you dare steal my dad just because you can” angsty step-child on that man.

Happy Pride Month!!!
