WTF. I don't get it.
Akira Amano. WTF.
I’m halfway through Reborn! now.
130 chapters down, 130 to go.
I’m not going to rant about canon-ness of Yamamoto/Gokudera here - God knows I’m going to do it in near future. Or them being walking fanservice - it’s apparent.
I’m going to talk about Gokudera’s fight vs. Ichimaru Gin Prince the Ripper or whatever.
So, what do we have to begin with? White-haired short-tempered guy, whose whole appearance and attitude just scream “Oh, I’m so badass, I’m the most badass shounen char it the whole world, Renji and Hiruma may go fuck themselves”
Here he is.
By the way, he had just showed up to his Deathmatch. Yep, where people kill each other. In black shirt, hooked only on one button, the most suitable outfit for this event. He’s also bandaged up(for some reason). Don’t look at blingee on his neck, it’s part of the plot. The belt, on the other way, isn’t.
His weapons are bombs. Multiple bombs. He, like, controls them. Badass white-haired dude who throws bombs. Almost shirtless.
And throws them in awesome ways, which causes his shirt to open (dramatically).
He lights them from his constant cigarette. Which he is able to smoke all the way. And even light himself a new one.
His opponent is pretty tough and completely insane and creepy , and he uses a lot of nasty knifes, so our hero obtains multiple wounds, most of them on his torso (and mar his white clean bondage with blood) or on his face.
Did I forget to mention THIS? He’s being tangled in strings. SHARP string. Being covered in blood. And bondages. And shirtless. And smoking.
Well, he takes care of things. In awesome, badass way. With tossing white lush hair from his blood-covered face. And shirtless. And smoking.
So how much fetish fuel we have encountered?
I wonder if it even humanly possible to squeeze MORE kinks in one fight.
And it’s shounen we’re talking about. Meant for 12-year-old boys, who are expected to love only action.
What. The. Fuck.
But you know what’s the most ridiculous? It works. Here I sit, all cynical and sarcastic, aware of all this, the same me who nearly began to hyperventilate reading about this fight. Who now puts said Gokudera in her list of favorite characters and suppresses fangirl squeals. Edit: joined
yamagoku . I just LOVE to MESS with my head.
Go figure.
Just had to get it out of myself.
