He's got daddy issues he's got mommy issues he's got brother issues he’s got surrogate father figure issues he’s got issues with the guy who’s not even his brother but pretended to be his brother once in a complicated dicks-out marriage fraud situation. Somehow he is simultaneously working for and working against every single faction in the story. He's my precious little catboy he's a war criminal (literal) he’s done everything wrong in his entire life. 5 different guys are trying to gaslight him simultaneously and one is hunting him for sport. Every single found family this man has been part of has divorced him. His own creator doesn’t understand why he’s popular with female fans despite illustrating a whole scene where he loads a rifle with his tongue. The healthiest relationship he has ever maintained in his entire life is with a man he’s never spoken to, they just watch each other eat snow through binoculars. Even all the other traitors and murderers he hangs out with think he’s a fucked up little freak. The nicest thing he ever did for anyone was shoot himself in the face and die

just spedran gk and it was CRAY

[myococo]

I went into GK tumblr before I finished GK and saw Ogata in a hockey uniform and I was like “Oh is there a major time skip near the end? That’s cool!” Yk like demon slayer or smth and when I got to the end I was so confused like “where tf was the fucked up man in a hockey uniform I want to see everyone’s reincarnations”

Then I found out that Noda is winning the idgaf war by reusing the designs of war criminals and making them into teenage boys playing hockey, but I still got my wish of seeing (mostly) everyone’s reincarnations (so far)

The funniest part about GK is that I thankfully have yet to see people incorrectly glorifying it as nationalistic dogma the way some idiots like doing with pieces of media. Like don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are people with weak enough reading comprehension to do that, yeah, but they have to compete with how every actively fascist character ends up dead or bereft of purpose and precious things by the end of the story. Tsurumi lost everything twice over, most all of his men are dead, and the two guys that aren't and seem to be fine and happy are short multiple loved ones and a sense of purpose or closure because their lives were built on lies that they ate up like a pack of hungry dogs. Also the guy literally carrying the imperialist symbol as an ideological conduit got fucking merc'd and every image I see of him with the rising sun flag is usually paired with him being explicitly homoerotic towards his freak brother (who was also the dude that merc'd him). In this essay I will

I've been having a Bible/Jesus/ martyr brainrot since December and then I watched golden kamuy 4th season and I can't take Ienaga out of my mind

She's an icon, love her

(spent too much time in this drawing and now I hate it, hope you can appreciate it)

[amethystroselily]

It’s so funny that Tsurumi accidentally unraveled his meticulously engineered web of control over his closest subordinates by showing just a little bit too much affection towards Ogata in front of Usami.

I've been enjoying reading other people's AUs and started thinking about one myself where things go as they did except Ogata hasn't shot himself, failed to meet his initial goals and dissapeared without a trace. Some time would pass, and then there would be stories about a strange silent man with a bizarre rifle who you can stuble upon in the forests on the Russo-Japanese border. x / twitter

quick doodle, congratulations to ogata for his reincarnation from a war to a sports team! hope this guy's just as funny as his war criminal counterpart

!! Manga spoilers ahead !!

I would like to talk about one of my favourite pages in Golden Kamuy, this one:

I went a bit crazy about it on Discord and this is basically a cleaned up and expanded version of what I said there + on Twitter. Anyway:

Starting with the first panel, the sky is completly black. This not only helps to emphasize the dark ambiance of the scene, but it also makes everything below it in the panel stand out more. The attention is drawn to Koito and the building, which is the same one he got held in when he was kidnapped.

The use of the snake-like screentone on Koito is interesting too. Again, it emphasizes the creepiness of the scene, but some people I've talked with about it said it reminded them of a shiver down the spine or a twist in the stomach.

The way the only characters visible in this panel besides Koito are Tsurumi and Tsukishima is noteworthy too. Not only were they both heavily involved in the kidnapping, they're also very important pieces in relation to Koito's development.

The second panel is most likely from Koito's POV and Tsurumi here is drawn with fully black eyes and mouth. It looks terrifying, but it also makes Tsurumi look like he's not even human.

By this point, Koito cannot longer ignore that Tsurumi manipulated him and his father nor the lenghts he went to do it.

The third panel is the one that hits me the hardest. We see a 16 year old Koito, scared and surrounded by darkness, like he's in a dark room or at the bottom of the ocean. He is seen slightly from above, which makes him look small and it almost seems like we're seeing this through the eyes of someone who's looking down at him.

This panel of him as a child represents Koito reliving his trauma.

(Sorry for the wall of text, I hope it was interesting at least)
