So, I started watching Hell's Paradise..

IT'S. SO. FREAKING. GOOD!!! ( Ramble under the cut! Spoilers and possible grammar mistakes ahead!!! )

I'm only on, like, episode seven, but I'm really enjoying myself!!!

Starting off with my boy, my man, my loverboy nonchalant Gabimaru!! His design immediately drew me in the first episode and I find his writing very good so far. A man, who was grown and groomed into being this emotionless killing machine only to dream of going completely against that all because of his love for his wife? SIGN ME UP!! I love how conflicted he is and how much those conflictions are weighing on him. How, because of how he was raised and what has happened to him, he's been treading this line and constantly tipping over the edge of "I'm a heartless, empty killer who's only purpose is to kill" and "I want to live a peaceful, normal life with the one I love/I don't want to kill anymore". The symbolism, how his character's portrayed, those small moments of vulnerability that shows how he differs from your typical cold killer and is actually just this morally broken guy who was raised/influenced by an actual monster; the head chief. ( Who, by the way, is literal nightmare fuel. I don't usually get creeped out easily by stuff in anime's, but the way Mappa went about drawing him is just..terrifying.. )

OH, AND HIS FIGHTING IS MMMM SO ADDICTING TO WATCH!! >.<

Next up is Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, or Sagiri for short. I want to first off get it out of the way by say that she's drop dead gorgeous. Imean, look at her!! No seriously, look-

As someone who absolutely adores strong female characters, it was no surprise that I fell in love with her! She reminds me a lot of Yona as she goes against what the norm was at the time and decided to become a swordsman despite everyone telling her she's better suited as a wife and mother simply because of the fact that she's a woman. ( Which irked me every. single. time. it was brought up btw ) I love how the author is going about her and how she struggles because she feels guilt for even the most evil of people simply because she's an empath--something that is often considered a womanly trait in the eyes of the people, especially men, of that time--but doesn't go too far with it and make her seem weak and useless because of those struggles. I like that, even though she hesitates and sometimes gets help from others ( mostly from Gabi from what I've seen so far ), she gets the job done and doesn't sit there and call for help like some damsel in distress and actually uses her strength!!

My love for her was explained pretty simply in episode six when Genji pointed out how she has the talent to be able to flip flop between being dominant and powerful like a man, but still holds the sense of gentleness and care one would only find in the heart of a woman. I love that quality about her in the same sense I love Mitsuri Kanroji's quality of being able to be cheery, feminine, and delicate despite being involved in such a 'manly' and grizzly job that being a demon slayer is.. AHHH IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT ANY FURTHER, I JUST HOPE YOU GET WHAT I MEAN!!

Next up is the vixen, Yuzuriha of Keishu. I haven't seen much of her yet, but I love her design and overall appeal. Although, she puts up this front of being this carefree, seductive airhead, you can tell there's just so much more to her and can't wait to see it. ( Although I feel like when she does show her true colors, it'll be when she finally betrays Gabimaru and Sagiri like she implied she would.. )

( Also this little stunt she pulled in this clip had me in a chokehold for a hot minute. Like MMMMM LOVE IT WHEN HOT WOMEN DO HOT WOMEN THINGS!! )

Toma and Chōbei are next up! When I first saw Chōbei, of course my mind immediately went to, "Oh shit, it's bakugo!" lmao- His fighting style is cool and his backstory is heartbreaking. Past that though, I'm undecided whether I like him or not..

Like, his backstory was tragic and had me feeling bad as a sad backstory would. It was also amazing in the sense that it gave me more understanding on why he became the way he did and how his mentality was shaped because of it. I find it cool that he has a knack of adapting to any situation too! ..And that's also why I'm so conflicted when it comes to him..

That leads me to bring up Toma, who I immediately fell in love with as soon as I saw his character design. ( I have a thing for men/boys with long hair, mkay? Don't judge me.. ) I haven't really wrapped my head around his character yet ( like his brother ) but it's obviously that he sorta idolizes Chōbei, so much to the point that he didn't hold any gripes towards him when he thought he was going to leave him for dead--which is my main dislike about Chōbei right now.

But yeah, if I had the chance, I'd still date them no questions asked- *smack*

I find Gantetsusai and Fuchi funny and cute together and overall find a good so far. I especially like Fuchi. He's a quirky little guy 😚

( And this height difference kills me. Like LOOK AT HOW LITTLE FUCHI ISSS )

And finally, we have Nurugai and Tenza, who is ranking up to be my 2nd favorite pair in this entire show! Putting aside that Nurugai literally evokes my gender envy, I love her and Tenza both individually and together! I love Tenza's kind soul, how he scouted out Nurugai because he wanted to help her after finding out why she was sentenced to death row! I find it such a highlight of his character and it makes me love the contrast between his brighter self when compared to Nurugai, who's more gloomy and has been traumatized into adapting this matured mindset.

Bonus points for being the only two to not immediately get into it with each other when on the island as well! It really was a breath of fresh air! Oh, an extra points for making me smile like an idiot- 🥰

So far I'm in love with this show! Idk yet where it falls on my anime rankings, but it's definitely high enough up there to spur me to write a drabble or five about this show! Can't wait to watch more in my spar time!!

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸

Yamada Asaemon Eizen

Eizen mein löwe mein bär

doesn't often get involved in tickle shenanigans because he's above that childish nonsense

except when he's not

mostly a ler simply because no one dares to go after him, especially the younger Asaemon are terrified that he just. would not react.

when Eizen steps in it usually means an end to the tickle fight, he'll just grab the culprits and dig into their spots like "Are you gonna behave now?"

not much of a teaser, he'll just straight up go for the kill to 'get it over with'

might give some light cheer up tickles to his favorite students if they really really need it, Sagiri and Senta frequently fell victim to this when they were younger

Shion is the only one who tickles him in private to comfort him or calm him down, it's a rare occasion tho and happens less and less as time passes

he's not that ticklish overall but his ribs and armpits will definitely get a few good cackles out of him and rumor has it Shion even got him to snort once

Yamada Asaemon Shion

the man the myth the legend

you'd think he'd be just as reserved as Eizen but no. oh no.

an absolute tickle monster and a force to be reckoned with

he loves messing with the younger Asaemon by squeezing their sides as he walks by and then pretend like nothing happened and it never fails to make them lose it because it's always out of nowhere

definitely the type to give his students cheer up tickles when they're feeling down

also switches from "try landing a hit on me" to "try tickling me" when they're getting too frustrated about not landing a hit

they also never manage to tickle him but they don't get a chance to be frustrated about that because Shion gets them every time

literally impossible to sneak up on

he's always prepared when someone attacks him and thus everyone has yet to find out that his neck is rather sensitive

Tenza has made it his life's mission to successfully tickle Shion and Shion is thoroughly entertained by the increasingly ridiculous schemes Tenza comes up with to catch him off guard

Yamada Asaemon Senta

on his own Senta is fairly harmless and rather easy to take down compared to his comrades

he's ticklish pretty much anywhere on his upper body, his shoulder blades being his worst spot

the others like to drag him into tickle fights when they think he's distancing himself too much, they sneak up on him when he's spending his break sitting alone and reading instead of eating with them

Sagiri and Tenza are usually the instigators of this and sometimes Kisho joins in to 'show them how it's done'

Senta always squeaks and protests but he doesn't really mind the playful tickles and enjoys goofing off with the others like this

in a group tho? when he's not the one being ganged up on? run.

he's knows everyone's spots and he's keeping NOTES

even the people he's never seen get tickled before, he just straight up deduced their spots from simply observing them

willing to rat out absolutely everyone for a rice ball, this man has zero fucks to give

Eizen actively pays him in calligraphy utensils so Senta won't tell Genji about that awful spot on his lowest rib

Yamada Asaemon Genji

tries to act all stern and serious when a tickle fight breaks out but then someone dares to poke his side and bro is locked in

within the blink of an eye he turns into a pro tickle monster, he has these long arms that are perfect to grab those who are trying to run away

he easily pins down like three people at once and he knows absolutely no mercy, none

just like everything else he takes tickling way too seriously but he has a good sense for when it's enough and always makes sure he doesn't cross any lines

he completely abandons his stoic facade too while wrecking someone and when he's called out on it, he claims it was just to teach his victim a lesson and to strengthen their stamina

no matter how much fun he's having, he won't ever admit it

except when everybody gangs up on him the next day to get him back, then he might be convinced to give in

that's gonna take a lot of effort, despite being pretty ticklish, mainly on his stomach and hips, he can take a lot

also recovers within like three seconds, so whoever dares to tickle him doesn't get much of a headstart, which is why they only do it in a group - if they do, he'll usually go after Fuchi or Tenza and everyone else is safe for now

Yamada Asaemon Fuchi

an absolute menace

"Did you know that this spot tends to be especially sensitive since a lot of nerve endings run together there? Here, let me show you..."

used to have a purely scientific interest in tickle fights, he'd observe everyone's reactions and take notes, doing whole studies on what exactly causes the body to react to the sensation the way it does

after a while he decides he wants to test his own theories and the next time a tickle fight breaks out between Tenza, Sagiri and Genji, he just jumps in and voilà, all of his theories prove to be correct

with the surprise effect on his side and his surperior and super unfair knowledge of the human body, he's surprisingly dangerous despite his height disadvantage

also he's quick, he always wriggles out of grips and dodges all kinds of attacks

the worst part is that he came to find that on top of being very interesting, tickle fights are also fun and he'll just start them out of nowhere if he's bored

people are NOT save, however if they do actually manage to catch him he can easily be brought down by going for his feet

Genji likes holding him up by the ankle to tickle him there and sometimes Fuchi will even willingly surrender to test his theories on himself

Yamada Asaemon Tenza

if Fuchi is a menace, this guy is a nightmare

80% of tickle fights are started by Tenza and 95% of tickle fights are also lost by Tenza

which ofc does not stop Tenza from starting more tickle fights

they're just so much fun and whenever they take a break during training, he's so pumped up from all the adrenaline that he just has to put his energy somewhere

Sagiri is usually the first one he goes for and then it completely escalates as more and more people get involved

he also frequently goes after Genji when he thinks he's being too serious, or Senta and Fuchi when he thinks they're too wrapped up in their books

his favorite victim is Kisho tho, he likes 'turning that frown upside down' and Kisho can't even begin to describe how much he hates that phrase

the downside of all of this is that Tenza is probably the most ticklish out of all the Asaemon and to his great dismay everyone knows exactly where his weakest spots are (his knees kill him)

he always has to keep up his guard around Shion (not that it does anything at the end of the day) and he's a frequent victim of getting ganged up on because people want to take revenge on him

Eizen tickled him once to get him to back off and it spooked him so much that he stopped attacking people for a whole month

Yamada Asaemon Kisho

a shit stirrer, first and foremost

pretends to be annoyed and look down on his comrade's 'silly antics' but really he is probably the worst of them all

the guy to watch someone get tickled and then walk up to them like "Are you really gonna let them do that to you? Don't you wanna get revenge?"

he just loves to add fuel to the fire, he's always lurking around and whispering into people's ears like the little devil on their shoulder

however, he'll 100% get involved if anyone challenges him or claims that his tickling technique is uneffective

spoiler alert, it's extremely effective

unfortunately he's not as sneaky as he thinks he's being and when they're finally done with his bullshit, Senta rats out all of his spots for free

he's very susceptible to the "Don't!" - "Don't what?" and he hates how it really works every bloody time

Tenza tickles him the most and as soon as he's done, Kisho will walk up to Genji and tell him that Tenza made fun of him or smth and then watch from a dark corner how Tenza gets wrecked

don't be fooled by his high horse tho, one squeeze to his hips and he's toast

Yamada Asaemon Sagiri

Sagiri my sun and stars

really needs the tickle fights to loosen up every now and then, it especially helps her to calm down when she's overthinking

is secretly a little grateful to be included whenever Tenza randomly attacks her, she'd never admit that to him tho

used to be really shy about getting tickled in front of the older Asaemon but she learned to have fun no matter who's watching

that being said, she always apologizes for goofing around too much during the breaks in between practice

always gets irritated when the guys go easy on her, Genji especially will sometimes stop wrecking her because he 'can't treat a lady like this' and whenever that happens she strikes back immediately until the tickle fight continues properly

wishes Eizen would still tickle her because it was always just a nice moment between them but she's also too anxious to try and instigate it

likes tickling Senta the most because it's always fun and chill

her sides are her worst spot and Tenza always sneaks up behind her and squeezes which always makes her shriek

during tickle fights is probably the loudest she ever gets

always checks up on people while tickling them so she doesn't overstep any boundaries

[sssuper368]

Shion is the father that stepped up

[getosvguru]

The blade reflects one’s true nature…

[justauthoring]

okay it makes me so sad that there’s barely any hells paradise content so PLEASE send in some requests!

ill take requests for any of the characters :)

[executionerspity]

slapped these together to celebrate t-minus one year until season two (which is still so far away but at least we have a release locked in)

[eschercaine]

I really hoped that this guy would survive. Just imagine how strong he’d be if he learned how to use tao like his master did. But again, Hell’s Paradise is an anime where everyone could die at any moment.

Tenza was a G for throwing hands with a literal god until the end. He didn’t let his injuries stop him from keeping Shion and Nurugai safe.

RIP king.
