I have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the transfem!Hakuri agenda. Have a Hakurshe/her, free of charge.

Would Hakuri estrogen have lead to Uruha surviving

This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure what difference it would have made! Is there something specific that makes you wonder?

EDIT: after an hour and some serious consideration, I've decided that the only thing that could have led to Uruha surviving is Hakuri getting therapy. That poor blade weilder was cooked, no bones about it.

Hakuri's Layers

Hi internet void... maybe someone out there can commiserate with me on something incredibly stupid? You see, my brain keeps pleasantly short-circuiting when I try to understand Hakuri's design. It's so boyish and adorable. Cute, CUTE, CUTE! But the actual clothes just kind of... don't make sense? (To this fashion-challenged trans guy anyway.)

So hey, the layers. Why so many?

Spoiler: the answer is "trauma".

My son's got a lot going on despite the plain black-white-black layering. On top looks like it might be a haori of some kind that gets tucked in to the waist? It's hard to tell in most shots due to the inking but it's definitely inspired by traditional Japanese clothing in the way it folds over at the middle of the torso. Underneath is a Western-style collared shirt that buttons close at the wrists and fits loosely elsewhere, likely due to being oversized. Then he's got a black turtleneck underneath it all, presumably short-sleeved but it could easily be another long-sleeved layer with how loose the other two are. The top two layers seem very baggy and oversized, while the bottom one could be a normal fit.

It's very different from how his father, siblings, and the estate staff dress. Kyoura wears a Western three-piece suit and tie at all times. The Tou uniform has a tunic on top of a dress shirt featuring open sleeves, bandages/braces on the arms, and a different collar style. Same with the regular Sazanami uniform, the most noticeable difference being the short sleeves. The children and non-combat staff have only been shown in regular kimonos/servant uniforms (except for the one group flashback to Granpa Sazanami's funeral, where all ages wore suits and ties). Mr. Proceeder, estate staff, and kids:

The Tou:

Sazanami Mooks:

Child Hakuri & Tenri feat. Low-Res Background Abuser:

Interestingly, there's a shot of kid Tenri wearing a black turtleneck under a white kimono so I wonder if there are different types of dress for a specific age group/level of training? Hakuri had the same clothing as him during the flashback's time period, so that's what I'm going to assume.

Also, at the start of the Ice Lady chapter Hakuri, is wearing the black haori and a short-sleeved white shirt underneath, no long-sleeved dress shirt or turtleneck in sight. It takes place in August and he wasn't expecting the chill at first, so this makes sense.

This was consistent for the first four pages of the chapter before abruptly shifting to something closer to his usual getup on the fifth page, showing us that at least a day had passed between scenes. He adds the turtleneck in but actually seems to have two different variations to show the passing of time through the chapter. (Note the white shirt...)

I'm gonna hit the image cap at this rate so please believe me that he alternates between these two styles throughout.

So here is the origin of his layered appearance: Hakuri was dressing against Ice Lady's chilly aura that overpowered the summer heat. This leaves me with a continuity question...

Final Meal:

Present Day:

The white dress shirt is slightly different from the one we meet him in so I wonder what happened when Hakuri was tossed out of the estate. In the panel above, it's identical to the ones his siblings in the Tou and Sazanami defense force wear, just rumpled and unbuttoned at the collar. But he's clearly wearing a different style while Current Events are going down. Did he have to return Sazanami uniform pieces before being escorted out? Did he just grab what was at hand before fleeing? Did the process take a few days, so he just left with what he was wearing at the time? Inquiring minds want to know!

It's also interesting to note that the loose suspender straps hanging from his waist aren't present in the Ice Lady flashback sequence.

Same chapter (35) - flashback vs. present. Fun fact: Soya deserves to be fucked with rusty screwdrivers. Since that's part of his design when we first meet him in Ch. 19, and they're consistently present outside of the flashback scenes, Hakuri definitely changed his outfit a bit between receiving a latent trauma buff and meeting Chihiro. I wonder if we'll ever get an explanation... It's probably not a detail that will ever be explained but I have to know about the straps. I love them. They make no functional sense and clearly weren't something included as a permanent part of his design like the hair tie pattern, short boots, haori, and baggy cropped khakis were. Is it his own fashion sense? Something his samurai can use to position him at will? Just added by Hokazono-sensei for aesthetic reasons? I choose option 2 until it's disproven. But yeah, after going through all of this panel by panel, I'm really curious about the time Hakuri spent drifting before he fell in with Team Goldfish. I'm fuzzy on the timeline but basically, he met the Ice Lady in August, spent three weeks with her, was kicked out, then found Chihiro about a week before the Rakuzaichi was held on November 3rd. How long was he on his own for, and where was he staying? He was always nearby if Chihiro needed him, but what about when they were done planning for the day? We didn't see him sleeping at the cafe, Hinao's place, Chihiro's apartment, an alley, a park bench- anywhere. I'm so, so curious about that little part of his life but it's not likely to be explored... I think if it's brought up at all, it'll be as a reason for Chihiro to add him to the goldfish bowl with Char. I'll just have to live with making my own headcanon about it I guess.

Anyway. Most likely, Hakuri was designed to counter-balance Chihiro's straight and narrow look- slim and cool vs. loose and boyish. They're opposites that compliment and complete each other at pretty much every level. I really want a character bible just to see the designs in neutral poses side-by-side to go feral over...

I'll have to ramble about that another time though because I just found out that Tumblr has a 4,096 character limit per block, whatever that means! It won't let me post pictures any more so I guess that's it for now. If you made it through to the end, you're my samurai.

*squinting at Hakuri Sazanami from Kagurabachi* motherfucker who am I?! You?? Your trans twin?? Either way I am gouging out our brother's eyes and our father too, there's no way he didn't know what Soya was doing to us. The bastard knew everything!

-Hakuri sazamnami or potentially a noncanon twin

I love every image you've drawn of trans girl Hakuri, she inspires joy and peace in my heart and every time you post more art of her my power grows exponentially.

HEALING POWER OF TRANSGENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i must continue so the power grows strong enough to defeat all the evils of the world

your kind words inspired me please have this Hakuri Hair Journey

and just for fun:

[kattitude130]

i love this image so much i have to keep myself from just posting it unprompted no context youre so right transgender hakuri

[seventyeight-moose]

Within me, there is a raging battle between "Hakuri as a trans girl" and "HakuHiro in a fujoshi way".

[seventyeight-moose]

I love the trans girl Hakuri headcanon/interpretation, however I am unable to avoid imagining Chihiro like

[kattitude130]

I saw your trans Hakuri post on bluesky and laughed because while we're having slightly different versions of the same headcanon, they're both so good!

Trans Woman Hakuri 🤝 Trans Man Hakuri

trans man hakuri is very funny to me because it reflects that trans ratatouille meme "i can accept your gender identity but no son of mine will be a chef" like his family still beat him nearly to death every day but will respect his pronouns it paints an interesting picture

[trans-hakuri]

A Good Fit

(Kagurabachi, gen)

Hinao can tell that there's something more to Hakuri, just under the surface. She's got free time, so a wardrobe change is in order.

(Inspired by @kattitude130's trans female Hakuri fanart)

[kattitude130]

hakuhiro always being yaoi/yuri is funny but genuinely because i think so much about trans woman hakuri i also ship them in a m/f way and i wonder if it could constitute a rarepair

[kattitude130]

trans girl hakuri forever in my brain but trans boy hakuri headcanon is great because it involves that tumblr meme trope of “i can accept your gender identity but no son of mine will be a chef” like his family literally nearly beat him to death every single day but at least they let him transition and won’t misgender him
