Gotham Knights: The Batman Family

Nightwing: Lost and looking for answers following the death of his parents, young Dick Grayson came under the care of Bruce Wayne. The boy's curiosity and determination led him to find Batman and become the first Robin. Over time, Dick wanted to fight crime differently from Batman. He left Gotham for Blüdhaven to do just that. As Nightwing, his Escrima sticks and impressive style didn't just instill fear in criminals - they inspired hope in the people Nightwing lives to protect. Robin: Inexperienced, with incredible potential, young Tim Drake convinced Alfred Pennyworth and Dick Grayson to bring him into the fold as the new Robin. He'd already uncovered the identities of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Nightwing. He knew he could help them. With training he's become an undetectable master of stealth, with a razor intellect that can crack cases even the Batman can't. The boy wonder is everything Robin was meant to be. At only 16, he's just getting started.

Batgirl: Barbara Gordon was self-trained and only 16 when she started fighting crime as Batgirl. Her ongoing studies in criminology and computer science made her a brilliant detective. When a spinal injury threatened to end her crime-fighting career, Barbara retired as Batgirl and became the information expert Oracle. With therapy and surgery, she eventually recovered. Strengthened by Oracle, as well as Barbara's unbreakable determination to protect Gotham, Batgirl returned. Red Hood: Jason Todd trained to become the second Robin after Batman caught him stealing tires from the Batmobile. Crime fighting gave the reckless boy purpose, and a meaningful outlet for his anger, until Batman failed. Jason was murdered. Two years later, resurrection brought Jason back as a killer called Red Hood. With the Batman Family's help, therapy & rehabilitation, Jason repented his extreme methods. Now Red Hood uses his pistols to put Gotham's criminals behind bars, rather than in the ground.

Bruce Wayne: If you ask the media, Bruce Wayne is a philanthropist, philanderer, or some combination of both. But if you ask me, Bruce is… an uncompromising friend and father. Someone who keeps his distance, protects his secrets, and is a total battle ax of a boss. And always, he's a man with a strong moral compass who would do anything to keep Gotham City safe, no matter the cost to himself. Bruce Wayne is everything Gotham City aspires to be. Also, he's Batman. P.S. And he's a terrible cook, constantly mixes up his black and blue socks, and strongly prefers not to be called "Brucie." [And if Batman wanted a completely serious biography, he should have written it himself.] - D.G. Only you. - B.W. Alfred: Steward of the Wayne family, Alfred Pennyworth is more than a butler - he's a generous mentor, a caring friend, and a reliable ally. Though he operates behind the scenes, Alfred is vital to the safety of Gotham City - and her protectors. Without his combat medical training and level-headed wisdom, Batman and others may not have lived to fight another night. Plus, he's an underappreciated actor. Honestly, he is phenomenal on stage.

From Rethabile’s profile, we learn that the government has given her everything she needs in order to become a powerful ace for the ACR. However, I don’t think her talent is natural like it is for Miyao and Lingji.

While the profile says all the prince and princesses are talented GK’s, I believe this is a lie. I think Rethabile might have been the only one of her siblings to actually be able to utilize the gauntlet, and she underwent a brutal training regimen in order to get her where she is today.

While the government tries to sell her off as a naturally born ace, I believe Rethabile went through just as much effort as characters like Gunhild to get where is today.

It wouldn't be doing anyone any favors to not point out I checked the profile of the blog in question and it's full of their Harvey and Two Face headcanons and how they want dc comics to be rather than actual discussion of the actual contents, and they pretty much trolled into Misha fandom and said "I will be your guide to Harvey Dent and Two Face" while making an argument that completely misses the point of GK's approach. They showed no comprehension of the psychological underpinnings of GK or of the full range of the character's dc history, it pretty much added up to them trying to outright indoctrinate others into their headcanon about Two Face being a hero fully in the light who is good actually and if he's not then it's "bad writing."

Beyond that I can't spec about that account and their motives but it sure could screw up the GK fandom lane's meta dialogue.

But then what’s the point in having it be Gene Kelly? // It's also been said it's a character based on Gene Kelly, not GK himself. Maybe some articles twisted it into being a GK biopic. At this point I think the pitch was vague when the news about the project were released and that even Chris wasn't exactly sure what the story would be about. Months ago when Chris was asked about the project, he said that he really had to practice for this role so I think he's set on the idea of him dancing.

No, it's always been said Gene Kelly, not "Gene Kelly type".

Golden Kamuy Character Ages

A while ago on Twitter I tried to compile a calendarium of GK birthdays that included the years to visualise how old are all the Golden Kamuy characters. But since then I found tons of mistakes in the initial version, and Twt is the worst place when it comes to updating stuff, so I decided to move it to here.

It's based mostly on the updated relative age chart from @KamuyCentral

It of course also draws from the wonderful earlier work of @goldenkamuyhunting which I updated with the info from the recent chapters and most importantly all the available birthdays from the fanbook character profiles and Q&A translated by @piduai.

Based on all of this I tried to arrange everyone year-by-year. A lot of this is inevitably still guess-work and personal opinion, so I tried to mark the certainty of each guess, and include the full brackets and the reasoning behind it so that you can just use it as a quick look-up to make your own judgment. If you have different opinions and theories, I'd love to hear about them, since this post aims to be more of an eternal sketch-pad than a definitive source.

Certainty scale

Canon by history or by Noda

Almost sure about this

An educated guess but I have some doubts

Just my fancy or a shot in the dark

Let's go!

Deduced birthdays of GK characters

1835.05.31 Hijikata Toshizou

Historical

1835.??.?? Huci

Same age that Hijikata (age chart)

1839.05.23 Nagakura Shinpachi

Historical

1839.05.16 Ienaga Kano

Same age as Nagakura (age chart)

1850.10.06 Koito Heiji

Married in his early twenties as was the norm and had Heinojou soon after (1873)

1852.??.??  Hanazawa Koujirou

Same generation as Heiji, but looks a bit younger

1852.04.05 Arisaka Narizou

RL Arisaka Nariakira was born in 1852 and shares a birthday with Narizo so it's quite a safe bet

1852.??.?? Nihei Tetsuzou

Older than Ushiyama, younger than Ienaga (age chart)

Lost a son in the Sino-Japanese war, so that would make him Heiji generation?

1858.??.?? Ogata Tome

Maiko get promoted to Geisha at 21

Ogata was born after she was Geisha, so she had to be born before 1859

1860.??.?? Hanazawa Hiro

around Tome's age?

1860.07.07 Kadokura Yoshiyuki

"A bit older" than Ushiyama (Noda interview)

1864.03.20 Ushiyama Tatsuma

Older than Tsurumi and Kiroranke (age chart)

Still around Wilk-ish age?

1865.??.?? Wilk

Looked 6-ish when Karafuto was ceded to the Russians in 1875

Looked more or less the same when he was indeed 6-ish when he got his name

Looked older than 15-yo Kiroranke when they assassinated the Tzar in 1881 (is it just the mustache?)

Son of a Polish upriser (From 1863?)

Wilk's age is fucked up and I refuse to take part in it!

1865.??.?? Sofia

Doted on Kiro like on a younger brother

1866.08.02 Kiroranke

Was 15 in 1881 when assassinating Alexander II

Still got drafted for the Russo-Japanese war (men under 40)

1866.12.25 Tsurumi Tokushirou

Same age as Kiroranke (age chart)

1870.11.26  Kikuta Mokutarou

Joined the army sometime before the Sino-Japanese war

Was the older brother of Toujirou who also was eligible to join before the war (17+)

Younger than Tsurumi, older than Tsukishima (age chart)

1873.??.?? Koito Heinojou

13 years older than Otonoshin

Died on 1894.09.17

1874.04.01 Tsukishima Hajime

Enlisted in the army just before the Sino-Japanese war in 1894

Let's make him standard drafting age (20) at that time

1880.02.25 Usami Tokishige

A bit older than Ogata (interview)

Was in the same age group as 12-year-old Tomoharu in the spring of 1893

This would make him born +/-1881, but I pushed him to 1880 to fit in Yuusaku and the rest (let's say Tomoharu was from December or Usami simply enrolled later, because he had to help at home or smth)

Likely joined the 7th as soon as he was allowed to (17+), so in 1897

1880.03.03 Shiraishi Yoshitake

Same age that Inkarmat (age chart)

Older than Ogata, younger than Tsukishima (age chart)

1880.09.12 Inkarmat

Was thought of as a child, and friendzoned by Wilk around 1897 (looked 14-ish?)

Yet she's older than Ogata (age chart)

So something about her just doesn't quite fit yet 😠

1881.01.22 Ogata Hyakunosuke

Younger than Usami, older than Yuusaku (age chart)

Joined the 7th in mid-1901 (age 20)

1881.11.?? Vasily

~same age as Ogata (fanbook)

this is a personal opinion, but he gives off super strong Scorpio vibes

1881.??.?? Hanazawa Yuusaku

(full bracket 1881-1883)

Finished the academy after 1901, but before 1903 (this would be too late to be a commissioned second lieutenant for Port Arthur)

In 1901 already knew he had chances of being chosen for the flag bearer. Likely because he was just about to graduate with the best scores (the graduation ceremony was at the end of November)

His rank at the time was equivalent to Sargent, hence Kikuta's armband insignia are a matching fit. No info yet in which year does a cadet reach this rank, but I imagine it can't be long before graduation.

Pet-theory of how Tokyo Love Story took place in early February or late November 1901

If Yuusaku indeed finished the Academy in 1901, most of his peers were from 1881 or older (for example if they joined later, or had trouble with exams). Yuusaku, being a wonder boy, likely went the fastest possible lane.

He got appointed second lieutenant and flag bearer in June 1902 (possibly before Hakodate kidnapping so Ogata had a chance to meet him again in full regalia (ch. 103 revised) and have fresh issues when kidnapping Koito)

Next is a large group of characters who are about the same age. Not sure though whether they're really all from 1882, so treat this group as WIP:

1882.03.01 Sugimoto Saichi

(full bracket 1882-1884)

younger than Ogata (chart)

~same age that Tanigaki & Nikkaidous (chart)

Joined the army somewhere after 1901

Official timeline says he joined in 1903

Left home in 1899

visually similar to Yuusaku

1882.06.28 Tanigaki Genjirou

~same age that Sugi (chart)

Joined as Tondenhei a little before the Russo-Japanese war

1882.11.19 Nikkaidou Youhei & Kouhei

~same age that Sugi (chart)

Originally from Shizuoka, had a place to go back to.

How did they end up in Hokkaido then?

1882.09.04 Ariko Rikimatsu/Ipopte

~same age that Tanigaki (age chart)

Enlisted in Spring 1902 after going back from Hakkoda rescue operation (ended on 22 April)

1882.??.?? Kenkichi

Same platoon as Sugimoto

1882.??.?? Toraji

Old enough to get married in 1901

Was at least 20 in 1904 (mandatory conscription)

Got assigned to the same platoon as Sugimoto

1886.12.23 Koito Otonoshin

Was 16 in the kidnapping in 1902

Passed the exam to the Army Academy in the same year, but was too young to take part in the Russo-Japanese war

1886.??.?? Edogai Yasaku

around Koito's age (chart)

1889.08.01 Okuyama Kantarou

Between Koito and Asirpa (age chart)

Looks nearer to Koito though (let's say 18-ish in 1907?)

1896.01.01 Asirpa

(full bracket 1893-96)

Wilk crossed over to Hokkaido some time after 1891 (winter) and had time to learn about Japanese Ainu from Inkarmat before he met and wed Rirate, so 1893 would be the earliest possible fit for Asirpa's birth

She had a real name (given in her village at 6) before Wilk went away (1902), so 1896 is the latest.

Huci said she's nearly of age to get tattooed (12-13? This varries a lot village to village) in 1907

This guy assumes she's 12-13 but he's likely also basing it on the lack of tattoo.

In real life, François-Constant Girel made the Ainu dance film in October 1897, Asirpa looked less than 2, Wilk wasn't married yet. So that's why I opt for 1896.

This makes Inkarmat's age somewhat tricky...

1898.08.08 Cikapasi

Younger than Asirpa

Dunno, looks 8-9 ish?

No idea at all

????.02.04 Kirawus

Looks a bit like Kantarou, but if you look closer he has crows feet around his eyes (or is that just another kind weird lashes?)

He could be anywhere between 1884-1860

Possibly at least a little bit younger than Kadokura, though, since he enjoys calling him an old man

????.08.13 Boutarou

Is there any real pointers when it comes to him?

Looks a bit older than Shiraishi...

????.??.?? Toni Anji

I haven't researched him yet

How do you recruit people to play ebg with you?

i force my friends /j

but fr tho i ask around and we were all doing april fools,, we all put our discord profiles as one of the characters we weren't particularly fond of (one of us had gk pfp...) and we kinda went around saying we liked them LOL but then i was like "if we're enjoying this maybe we will play ebg"

and yeah thats how this ebg came to be

#qian answers

[chardart]

ok i bought the gk fanbook and this thing is a goldmine.... i can’t read much japanese but there’s still so much fun stuff.... map of shiraishi’s prison escapes, section dedicated to gushing about tanigaki’s body in tanigaki’s profile.... likes and dislikes for food (tsukisappu anpan seems to be a divisive food in the 7th division, koito and usami like it while nikaidou and kikuta don’t), usamis moles get a slot in the minor characters section, a cooking section filled with recipes and the food in real life, a section discussing the cast’s outfits with comments by edogai (and tsukishima and maeyama), a page showcasing all the tanigaki chest hair touchups noda did for the volumes whejhjsdajfl

#golden kamuy #theres a whole bunch of other stuff too but i tried to talk about stuff i liked that i didnt see many other ppl talking about

Manga vs Anime: Episode 28 “The immortal Sugimoto Harakiri Show”

So let’s start with Ep 4 of the 3rd series… which is the 28 Golden Kamuy animated episode and we start with a request.

Yeah, this request is done because we need more GK.

Some data first.

This episode last 23:40 minutes and has an opening and an the ending. It covers part of chap 151, part of chap 154 and 4 other chaps of the manga, chap 155, 156, 157 & 158 for a total of around 96 pages (I’m discounting the covers) basically covering half of Vol 16.

The episode is titled ‘The immortal Sugimoto Harakiri Show’, which is actually the title of chap 156, chap 151 being ‘Muskies’, chap 154 being ‘Remaining Time’, chap 155 being ‘Yamada Circus Troupe’, chap 157 being ‘Karafuto Island Great Circus’ and chap 158 being ‘Key Performer’.

And now into the anime.

SUGIMOTO’S GROUP

Manga: Sugimoto’s group stops in an Ainu village, Sugimoto suggesting to spend the night there. Koito would like to reach Toyohara, which has better inns but Tsukishima says they’ll do it the day after so they’ll be able to do some shopping as well. Enonoka gives Cikapasi her father’s hohciri, explaining him that boys in Karafuto wear it until they turn ten.

Anime: This scene is completely removed in the anime.

My two cents: Normally I’m against cutting scenes but I’ll admit the first page isn’t really relevant as for the second, since the topic will come up later, the story could skip it.

THE MUSK DEER

Manga & Anime: Asirpa sees an animal she never saw previously. As Kiro explains her it’s a musk deer Ogata shoots it down, likely thinking they could eat it. Turns out the meat isn’t good and the pelt can’t be sold but they’ve a musk gland which, properly handled, can be sold to a high price, albeit currently smells horrible as Asirpa and Ogata discover. Kiro explains more about the musk deer explaining seasonal workers in Karafuto are called like “muskies” and this happened to him and Wilk as well. Kiro then tells her Wilk’s first prey was a musk deer and this allowed him to cut his hohciri. He then proceeds to explain her what an Hohciri is. Asirpa remembers she used to wear one and thinks thanks to that story she could discover something about her father and also remember something about him.

There are just some minor differences:

- In the manga, when Kiro explains boy cut the Hohciri off after their first kill the scene moves to Enonoka tying the Hohciri to Cikapasi’s hair, explaining him he’ll have to cut it off once he manages to kill a prey on his own, all this under Tanigaki’s gaze. In the anime this scene is removed, albeit it will come up later.

- In the manga Kiro smiles as he explains about musk deer and how they were called muskies, with Asirpa looking surprised at hearing this, Kiro getting up as he explains. In the anime Kiro doesn’t smile until he says what a hohciri is, Asirpa isn’t shown and they remain all crouched down. Asirpa’s surprised face is shown later, when she had heard what a hohciri is, possibly because it has caused her to remember something.

- In the manga she seems pleasantly surprised when she realized ‘that’ was an hohciri. In the anime she just stares at Kiro.

- In the manga Kiro’s head was lowered and his face heavily shadowed and barely visible when he said ‘I see’, as for Ogata he seems to look ahead with a firm expression. In the anime Kiro’s head is only barely lowered and showed from profile as for Ogata his expression seems sad or disappointed.

My two cents: In the manga when Kiro smiles as he remembers things, one gets the idea Kiro looks at those memories fondly so his lack of smile in the anime instead ands up on giving the feeling he’s looking at them with regret, which ends up changing slightly his characterization. Honestly, although Asirpa has shorter hair in the flash back, in the close up in the anime she doesn’t seem that much younger than she is now even though she should be at least 7 years younger if not more.

Basically the anime tries to imply she has grown up merely by making her head bigger in the transition between her younger self and her current one. You might notice it better if you put Asirpa’s current hairstyle on her younger self.

I’m not quite satisfied of how they depicted Kiro and Ogata in the end or of how they changed the framing of many scenes or the position of the characters to simplify them. They were doing a much better work with them in the previous episode. Still it’s not a big deal and I get they wanted to make things simpler to animate. On a VERY positive note they fixed Kiro’s character design so he finally doesn’t have a black weird animal on his chest but normal hair same as in the manga.

Oh, also maybe it’s just me but the scene in which Asirpa and Ogata smell the musk deer gland came out funny, same as the one in which Shiraishi said Kiro’s body was covered in musk.  As for the scene of Cikapasi, Enonoka and Tanigaki, it makes sense it was removed since they removed the 2 starting pages and since we’ll recover part of it later it’s not a big deal plotwise… even though all this will bring less focus on Cikapasi’s figure causing him to look an even minor character than what he already is.

CHAP 151 IS INTERRUPTED HERE

THE OPENING STARTS HERE

WARNING: The anime removed the whole Youichirou arc, which went from chap 151 to 154. As we can see Youichirou in the opening...

...is reasonable to assume they didn’t plan to cut him entirely but merely to move his arc later. At least I hope so. It would make sense as this episode covers a lot of pages so they wouldn’t have managed to fit the Youichirou arc here and they could probably postpone it to after the circus show. However we know the next episode contain the Vasily arc... and I think Youichirou arc as more sense if viewed BEFORE this arc as it was meant to be seen. Of course maybe it’s just me.

CIKAPASI AND TANIGAKI IN TOYOHARA

Manga: This scene doesn’t exist in the manga.

Anime: The anime shows Cikapasi and Tanigaki walking through the city, Cikapasi happily looking at his and Tanigaki commenting he likes it because Enonoka gave him that and telling him to remember he won’t be a real man until he cuts it off. We see a flashback of Enonoka tying it to Cikapasi’s hair before Cikapasi replying he knows. They then hear Sugimoto’s voice yelling to wait and turns toward it.

My two cents: This scene was likely added to compensate the fact they cut Cikapasi receiving the hohciri previously. Maybe it’s a matter of translation though, but it feels like the anime is already pushing the pairing Cikapasi/Enonoka by remarking how Cikapasi likes the hohciri because it came from Enonoka or how he’ll be a ‘real man’ when he’ll cut it. While it has its reasons to exist, the result is that the scene with Tanigaki and Cikapasi that was in the manga later and that showed them worrying for Inkarmat gets cut (they’ll place it in a ‘Golden Douga Gekijou’ 25 though) and, in addition, makes useless for them to hear Sugimoto screaming as in the anime they’ll join him only when they’ll hear Koito shooting.

THE CHASE

Manga & Anime: Sugimoto, Tsukishima and Koito are running after a boy, who stole Sugimoto’s bad inside which there’s a copy of Gansoku’s tattoo.

There are just some minor differences:

- In the manga, Tsukishima proposes to split into two groups to catch the boy in between them and leaves Koito with Sugimoto. In the anime this is cut and Tsukishima remains with the group.

My two cents: It’s a pretty small bit and the scene of them running after the boy is pretty fun in the anime. Now… it’s true Tsukishima’s plan will bring nothing but cutting it is a bit sad as it’s one of the few times Tsukishima is proactive.

TANIGAKI AND CIKAPASI SEARCHING AROUND

Manga: Tanigaki and Cikapasi are showing around photos of Kiro with no result. As Tanigaki asks Cikapasi if he’s tired, Cikapasi claims he can’t forgive Kiro for stabbing Inkarmat and will give his everything to track him down. Tanigaki thinks to a bedridden Inkarmat while Cikapasi goes on and claims he’s sure she too is fighting so he has no right to complain of being tired. Tanigaki tries asking info to another man but, by mistake shows his photo and then admits to Cikapasi he’s the one who’s tired.

Anime: In the anime the scene is cut and included in the ‘Golden Douga Gekijou’ in a shorter form. In fact they cut the scene in which Tanigaki asks about Kiro and the woman replies she would remember such a good looking men and Cikapasi’s reply.

My two cents: Well, the scene is not overly important but it would have been nice if they had added at least the Inkarmat bit to the previous scene with Tanigaki and Cikapasi as removing her is pretty bad. Recovering the scene in the ‘Golden Douga Gekijou’ doesn’t quite work as Cikapasi’s determination is cut and the focus is more on the joke than on Tanigaki’s worry about her.

THE CHASE CONTINUES

Manga & Anime: The thief grabs a pole and use it to climb on a roof and escape. Koito manages to jump on another roof and keeps chasing him, keeping up with his acrobatic escapes. The thief sees Koito keeping up with him as he continues running.

There are just some minor differences:

- In the manga, Sugimoto is shocked when the thief climbs on a roof and Koito catches his chances to surpass him as the thief runs on the roof. Koito then will jump on a less tall roof. In the anime Sugimoto is just worried and we can see Koito not just surpassing Sugimoto but also jumping on what is implied to be the same the roof on which the boy is running.

- In the manga the acrobatic abilities of the thief are well shown as he walks on a pole, jumps acrobatically on various roofs and then off of them. In the anime we only get a quick glimpse of his running on a roof and then jumping down it.

- In the manga we don’t see what happens to Koito after he’s hit by a branch. In the anime we see he manages to keep his balance and resume the chase.

My two cents: Now… I get that the anime is trying to fit a lot of pages in this episode so this is a bit of a cutting fest but the result is that the boy, Choukichi, seems a lot less of an acrobat than he is in the anime, while Koito seems much better than in the manga. Also in the anime the branch that Koito broke somehow gets ridiculously smaller when it hits Koito.

It would have never managed to support him not even for a second.

MORE CHASING

Manga: Tsukishima and Sugimoto regroups but they can’t find the thief. Cikapasi catches sight of them.

Anime: This scene is completely removed in the anime.

My two cents: Okay, this is nothing big and since they removed Tsukishima suggesting they split it makes sense to remove it.

CHOUKICHI REACHES THE CIRCUS

Manga and anime: Choukichi reaches the circus and the director, seeing him, scolds him, then notices he has a knapsack and worries he has stolen him. Gunshoots are heard. It’s Koito who has reached him and he’s now signalling his position to the others. Choukichi is impressed as this is the first time someone could keep up with him.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- The anime added a scene of Choukichi breathing in relief as he reaches the circus.

- In the manga the director of the circus hits Choukichi’s head. The scene is cut in the anime.

- In the manga when Tsukishima and Sugimoto hear the shoot they’re both on the ground. In the anime Sugimoto is messily trying to climb over a roof.

- The anime adds Tanigaki and Cikapasi hearing the shoots.

My two cents: On a personal note Choukichi character design makes him look a lot younger in the anime. His face is very round, his lashes longer, his side bangs much longer and his nose tiny, he might even pass for a flat-chested  girl. Tsukishima is horribly drawn here… -_- Maybe it’s just me but I get the feeling the anime cut the scene of the director hitting Choukichi as a form of censorship so as not to show a young boy being punished. This however causes the fact that, in the following scene, he attacks Choukichi with a katana, even more unbelievable than it was.

SUGIMOTO DECIDES TO JOIN THE CIRCUS

Manga and Anime: The director and Choukichi apologize for how the boy stole from Sugimoto. Sugimoto says it’s fine and the director instead says he’ll punish him so he cuts his cheek with the katana. Sugimoto punches him for hurting a kid but when Tanigaki tries to help the boy it turns out there’s no blood and it was just a joke as it was merely a magic trick used for their hara-kiri show. He also introduces Choikichi as an acrobat explaining this is the Yamada circus and he’s the troupe leader. Sugimoto, thinking Asirpa should be closer, decides to let her know he’s alive by joining the circus and performing in the ‘Sugimoto the immortal’s hara-kiri show’.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Yamada’s eyes are completely white as he says he can’t allow Choukichi to make more troubles and he looks scary. In the anime his eyes are merely close and he doesn’t look scary at all.

- In the manga in the flashback Asirpa as a sad and worried expression. In the anime she’s calm and smiling.

My two cents: As they cut the scene of the director punishing him and the one after it will be a joke Yamada’s declarations about how he punishes him seems to be merely lip service. When the anime shows a flashback of Asirpa talking with Shiraishi, picks up the same scene used in the manga, the one in which she was worrying about how her father betrayed the Ainu. The problem is in the anime this scene is cut. I’m not sure if they changed Asirpa’s expression in the flashback to fit with this but, if that’s the case, they could have used a real flashback of the scene they used, not a flashback of a scene that wasn’t included.

CHAP 154 ENDS HERE.

YAMADA IS PERSUADED TO LET SUGIMOTO TAKE PART TO THE SHOW

Manga and anime: Yamada doesn’t want Sugimoto in the show as he doesn’t want to share the trick of the hara-kiri show. Sugimoto forcefully insists he won’t become a performer and will keep the trick for himself. Choukichi suggests that, as long as Sugimoto and his friends agree to their condition they could let them all take part to the show, especially Koito, whom he sees as suited for that work.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Sugimoto tries to blackmail Yamada, saying if he doesn’t agree they’ll hand Choukichi to the police which pushes Yamada to say it would be very troublesome for them as the boy is their star. In the anime this is cut.

My two cents: I get the feeling the anime cut Sugimoto blackmailing Yamada so as not to show this side of Sugi who in the anime is much more of a noble hero than in the manga. As a result Sugimoto comes out as a lot less threatening than he was in the manga.

THE CIRCUS SHOW

Manga and anime: Sugimoto’s group is introduced to some acrobatic performances which Koito is capable to reproduce flawlessly. On the other side Sugimoto and the other completely fail at them. Yamada tells Sugimoto to stop trying and focus on the hara-kiri show while Tanigaki and Tsukishima will join the girl group and dance off the side.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga we see Choukichi performing first as Yamada explains the acrobatic act and then Koito. In the anime this is cut and we’re immediately shown Koito doing the act but Koito’s act too is cut short as we don’t see him falling or how they roll him as if he were a ball. Also they cut Yamada asking the group who they are.

- In the manga Sugimoto and Co try to perform the Kyokumochi. In the anime the scene is cut and included in the ‘Golden Douga Gekijou’ 26, and the only part cut from it is Yamada asking them to which circus troupe they belong with Koito replying ‘the 7th’ division’. These two lines though are placed when Koito is shown being good on a bicycle as well.

- In the manga we also see the ‘cycle whirl’ stage act with Yamada explaining it. In the anime this part is cut.

- In the manga it’s not explained why Tsukishima let go of Sugimoto’s bycicle, causing him to fall. In the anime it’s shown he did it due to being surprised by how well Koito was going on it.

- In the manga, when Koito says the circus troupe he belongs to is the 7th division, he has a serious face. In the anime he smiles.

My two cents: Well, this part got lot of cuts but it’s mostly explanation so it can work. The only thing I really don’t like is changing Koito’s expression as he says they belong to the 7th division because for me it was the fact he told it so seriously that made the scene really fun. Also the fact they gave Tsukishima a reason to let go of Sugimoto’s bycicle kind of affect a little Tsukishima’s characterization because it turns it into an accident, where in the manga the implication is he deliberately let go of him (if he did so as a payback for being put below in the Kyokumochi exercise or because he thought Sugimoto had to try standing on his own) is up to the reader’s speculation. The fact that Tsukishima might have let go of Sugimoto deliberately in the manga is also hinted by how we’ve a close up of his face which is shadowed when Sugimoto complains while in the anime Tsukishima’s face is totally unchanged to how it was before in the background.

THE DANCING GROUP

Manga & Anime: Tanigaki and Tsukishima joins the girls dancing on the side but Tanigaki keeps on getting scolded by Yamada Fumie, the dancing instructor in a quite vulgar manner. Fumie then accuses Tsukishima to be trying to win her over in hope to get a better treatment.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga when Fumie accuses Tsukishima of having fallen in love with her and so on Tsukishima is uncharacteristically smiling while in the anime he’s serious.

My two cents: Honestly it’s a pity Tsukishima isn’t smiling as it really made me think that, although Tsukishima hadn’t fallen in love with Fumie, he was trying to use his charm on her while in the anime  it just feels like her accusing him baselessly.

MORE CIRCUS ACT FROM KOITO

Manga & Anime: Koito does more impressive acrobatics acts, impressing Yamada who praises him a lot and thinks everyone coming to the show will talk about him. Sugimoto gets annoyed because according to him everyone has to talk about Sugimoto or there’s no point to do that. Koito tells him he’s just being jealous.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Koito is shown standing on two horses. In the anime this is cut.

- In the manga as Sugimoto hears Yamada praising Koito he gets worried and tells him to stop, explaining him why what he’s doing would make the whole thing useless. In the anime he gets angry as if he couldn’t stand it anymore. Sugimoto’s speech also gets cut so he sounds less formal, he explains nothing and merely gives off an angry vibe.

My two cents: Okay, the cut one of Koito’s many acrobatic performances doesn’t really affect the plot much and Sugimoto’s expression as he gets angry is pretty fun but it somehow messes up part of Sugimoto’s characterization as it’s real his purpose for doing that was mainly to have news of him reach Asirpa and Koito’s actions might jeopardize his plan. It’s true Sugimoto is also subconsciously doing this to feed his ego as he thinks he can easily be the star of the show when Koito is actually much better than him and that the plan is overall dumb, pointless and will fail but, credits when it’s due, the main purpose was still to find Asirpa, not just to give Sugimoto a chance to shine so it makes more sense to have him worried his plan will fail than angry at Koito’s phraises and he only got angry when Koito told him he was complaining merely because he was jealous.

TANIGAKI’S DESPERATION

Manga & Anime: Tsukishima finds Tanigaki crying and tries to comfort him thinking it’s because Fumie humiliated him. Actually Tanigaki cries because he thinks he’s being a burden to the girls’ group.

My two cents: There are no cuts on this one but somehow it didn’t impress me much either.

YAMADA TEACHING THE TRICK TO SUGIMOTO

Manga & Anime: Yamada explains Sugimoto how the sword trick works and then reveals the trick behind it. Sugimoto is told to try but his attempt is interrupted by some girls cheering on Koito’s performance and the cheers grow even louder when Koito throw a kiss at the audience. Sugimoto gets angry and claims Koito doesn’t need to be in the show. Koito claims all Sugimoto has to do is to give a better performance than his own. Yamada persuades Sugimoto to just work harder on his performance.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- The anime adds a scene in which Yamada points his sword at Sugimoto and Cikapasi, surprising them.

- In the manga Yamada says after Sugimoto has cut his leg he should hop on one foot toward the audience, showing them the blood. This part is cut in the anime.

- In the manga Yamada says Sugimoto should return to the centre of the stage, shows his upper body and pour water on it. This part is cut in the anime and only the visual is left.

- In the manga Yamada will keep on wearing his tuba even when he fakes dying. In the anime the tuba falls from his head.

- In the manga the explanation about how the trick work is more detailed than in the anime.

- In the manga Sugimoto practices the trick a bit but he puts excessive emphasis in his performance and refuses following Yamada’s instructions. This part is cut in the anime, although it also appears in the Golden

- In the manga Yamada praises Koito again. In the anime the scene is cut and included in the ‘Golden Douga Gekijou’ 27.

- In the manga Koito points out Sugimoto is acting in such way because he has no confidence in his performance. This is cut in the anime.

- In the manga Sugimoto admits Koito is sounding reasonable, although he then says he’s just making all this because everyone is making a big deal of him and thinks he should come up with another brilliant idea to drive the audience crazy, namely making a performance wearing roller skates. Yamada shoots his idea down. In the anime all this is cut.

- The anime added Sugimoto saying he would do better practice.

My two cents: In the anime the green aura with the visual sound effect when Yamada prays feels… disturbing to me. That greenish smoke seems more to indicate that Yamada is smelling than that he has an aura.

Cutting the part in which Koito accused Sugimoto to make all that fuss solely because he lacked in confidence about his performance and leaving the one in which Koito says if he can’t make a better performance than his own the idea he’ll get famous is a joke, feels more like Koito is competing with Sugimoto trying to outdo him to be the one who’ll get famous when Koito was likely instead merely giving his best and it was Sugimoto who was at fault for not being confident in himself to the point in order to top Koito he didn’t want him to perform, which is remarked by how Sugimoto admits Koito is being reasonable and by how he proves he’s not confident in his act by trying to come up with something different. The result is that both Koito and Sugimoto’s characterizations are affected.

CIKAPASI’S PERFORMANCE

Manga: As Sugimoto works on his act Cikapasi sees the giant spinning top act and decides he’ll perform that act.

Anime: This scene is completely removed in the anime.

My two cents: While cutting this part doesn’t affect the plot… well, it takes away from Cikapasi’s characterization as it showed he too wanted to do something.

TANIGAKI AND BENIKO

Manga & Anime: Tanigaki gets scolded by Fumie again and again he ends up crying outside, this time comforted by the little girls. Beniko tells the girl to go back or they’ll be scolded than explains Tanigaki this will be her last performance as they’re all orphans but she’s old enough they leave the circus. She then tells him she’s glad to make her last performance with him and to make it a success as Tsukishima is spying on them.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Beniko explains they leave the circus to be adopted. Unless this is a translation problem this part is cut in the anime making it sounds as if the girls are just left behind.

My two cents: The colours of the scene with Beniko are nice and no big changes are done. I’m unsure if the dialogues are really cut or it’s a matter of translation. If they’re cut… well, it doesn’t really work well.

TRAINING

Manga: We see Koito, Tanigaki and Sugimoto trying hard their act while Tsukishima just performs his act.

Anime: This scene is completely removed in the anime.

My two cents: Okay, it’s not a big deal plotwise but we kind of lose how hard everyone is trying (except for Tsukishima who’s not sweating at all) so it affect a bit their characterization.

THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO BEGINS

Manga & Anime: The show is about to start, Enonoka and her grandfather about to witness it. Yamada tells everyone it’s a full house and Sugimoto says their performance is about to begin

My two cents: Nothing to say here. It’s a small scene and it’s transposed well enough.

CHAP 156 ENDS HERE.

THE ANIME PLACES HERE AN EYECATCH

THE SHOW STARTS

Manga & Anime: Yamada introduces his circus to the ones who came see it. We see some of the artists making some performances.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga we see Cikapasi performing as well. In the anime his performance is cut.

My two cents: The anime used still shoots for the audience. While this is pretty common and, credits when it’s due, each spectator was drawn differently their expression feel oddly still, their eyes too wide open in the first shoot. Maybe it’s just me though. The rest was nicely done, especially the way they handled Koito’s performance.

KOITO’S PERFORMANCE

Manga & Anime: Koito is performing his rope act when he sees Tsurumi’s picture discharged on the rope. He believes it to be his own but then the photo flies away and he chases after it in a spectacular way until he manages to grab it. Yamada is impressed, Sugimoto is shocked Koito is furious as he thinks it was Sugimoto who interfered with his act stealing the picture and placing it there.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga the picture flies away on its own. In the anime it seems it’s due to Koito moving too much on the rope.

- In the manga, when Koito jumps on the stairs they break and he has to manage to keep balance on them. Also as he chases after the photo he performs the paper walking act and then he jumps on the guys on the bicycle. All this is cut in the anime.

- In the manga it’s unclear if Koito grabbed the trapeze guy deliberately or by accident while in the anime it’s clear it was by accident as he was actually attempting to grab the photo and ended up grabbed by the trapeze guy.

- In the manga Sugimoto seems solely shocked by Koito’s performance in the anime he seems more a mix between shock and anger as he’s clenching his teeth, but maybe it’s just me.

My two cents: There are a lot of cuts on Koito’s performance so it’s less spectacular than in the manga but I’ll say it’s still spectacular enough. The effect of the people cheering on Koito was well done. I’m not really fond of how they changed Sugimoto’s expression but I guess they kept it in line with their previous change.

THE END OF THE DANCING ACT

Manga & Anime: The dancing girls act end and the girls leave the stage. Fumie congratulate with Tanigaki.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga we see the dancer end their performance and the audience cheering on them. This is cut in the anime.

- In the manga we see the girls congratulate with Tanigaki as well. This is cut in the anime.

My two cents: My personal impression is that Tanigaki’s satisfaction is more visible in the manga but I can be just me. His expressions are still visible enough. The cuts aren’t drastic as you can figure the girls would be happy for Tanigaki.

THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO END

Manga & Anime: As Sugimoto’s performance is announced some guys are about to enter in the circus. Sugimoto presents himself for his hara-kiri show, hoping his message ‘I’m alive’ will reach Asirpa. At the same time Koito realizes the photo he had found isn’t his own as not only it’s different but his photo is still in its place. Also he doesn’t believe Sugimoto could have a photo of Tsurumi. Tsukishima says the saboteur was him and that he did so in order to make the Karafuto show plan work but it backfires instead. Koito explains they’re in trouble as he switched his blade with the trick sword. Outside Sugimoto is about to start his performance.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga, the guys entering in the circus are mostly shadows and one might think they aren’t important, in the anime it’s clearly visible they’re Russians and the camera pausing on them draws the attention on them.

- In the manga Sugimoto’s expression is calm, in the anime he’s frowning, his eyebrows furrowed.

- In the manga Tsukishima explains Sugimoto is not a man to stand down so Tsukishima expected his competitive spirit and stubbornness to cause Sugimoto to work his hardest. He also admits his plan backfired. Those things are cut in the anime.

My two cents: The focus on the Russians takes away the surprise of when they’ll appear at the show. Tsukishima’s revelation he’s the culprit comes out as kind of funny. They let the scene of Sugimoto complaining the water is cold this time but as they removed all the previous ones the fact he was advised more than once not to make all that fuss gets lost and one might think the water is really very cold.

CHAP 157 ENDS HERE.

SUGIMOTO SHOWS

Manga & Anime: Sugimoto is about to perform his act but when he tries to cut himself real blood comes out from his wound and he realizes the sword he has can cut. He sees Koito and Tsukishima holding the trick blade and realize the sword he has is the real deal. Despite this he decides to carry on and after cutting his legs attempts the hara-kiri act. However some Russians shows up on the stage and point a gun at him. He makes short work of them while Tsukishima punches the third into unconsciousness. Yamada orders everyone to go out for the final bow so as to use this to recover the bodies of the Russians.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Yamada tells Sugimoto not to say ‘ow’ and scolds him when Sugimoto does. This is cut in the anime.

- In the manga Sugimoto voices his thoughts and seems more frantic as he turns. In the anime he only thinks them and he seems frozen on the spot.

- In the manga Sugimoto is biting his lower lip, in the anime he’s clenching his teeth.

- In the manga we see Sugimoto being surprised with the Russians showing up. In the anime such thing doesn’t happen. It’s not clear but as Sugimoto raised his eyes before the Russians showed up, he likely noticed them earlier.

- In the manga Sugimoto cuts the Russian’s hand in half, in the anime he cut it whole at the wrist.

- In the manga Sugimoto switches the way he holds the sword (from the blade to the grip) by grabbing with his left hand the cloth he wrapped around the blade which he used to hold it without cutting himself, so he can use his right to grip the grip. The result is when he attacks the Russian the cloth remains in his hand. In the anime it seems what he wrapped around the blade where papers which flies around as he attacks… meaning he either gripped the naked blade with his left and magically didn’t cut himself or that he managed to switch how he was holding the blade without using his left hand… which would constitute as magic.

- In the manga when the shocked second Russian tries to shoot at him, Sugimoto avoids the bullet then rolls away and tosses his sword at him. In the anime, after killing the first Russian Sugimoto immediately runs away, the worried second Russian tries to shoot at him and Sugimoto, after running some more, rolls on the ground and tosses his sword at him.

- In the manga we see Sugimoto standing up. In the anime we don’t.

- In the manga it’s unclear if the third Russian was trying to escape, in the anime it’s clear.

My two cents: Despite the change Sugimoto’s fear is well transposed albeit more funny than in the manga. Overall I enjoyed how they made the hara-kiri show… until the Russian showed up. I much preferred how the manga showed Sugimoto’s surprise at them being there instead than making him all ready to act with them being there. While the blade switching scene was poorly done (what are those papers? Sugimoto would have cut his hand if he had tried grabbing), the following scene which shows Sugimoto moving away, rolling around and then tossing the sword to the Russian is well done. For once the anime pulled out an action scene which was engaging.

CONFRONTING THE SPY

Manga & Anime: Tsukishima questions the Russian and it turns out they had been ordered by the Russian government to kill “Yamada, the one doing the hara-kiri show” and mistook Sugimoto for him. Tsukishima figures this means Yamada is a spy, which Yamada confirms saying he’s a former office in the imperial army disguising himself as a circus leader to gather intelligence in Russia. Fumie comments he’s a third rate spy, kills the Russian and tell him to bury all the Russians under the tent as they’ll leave in the morning.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga it’s Tsukishima who says this time it was Sugimoto doing the show instead than Yamada, in the anime it’s Koito.

- The anime adds Koito, Sugimoto and Tanigaki being surprised at the ringmaster being a spy.

- In the manga Yamada looks his usual self as he explains his role as a spy while in the anime he seems much more serious.

My two cents: The colouring is nice, Yamada however seems to serious so the idea he’s a poor spy doesn’t really get through.

THE MORNING AFTER

Manga & Anime: Beniko is about to leave the group. Tanigaki cries and Beniko makes him promise he won’t forget them. Tsukishima reads to Sugimoto the article about his performance but it turns out it has a mistyping as Sugimoto is called the ‘Sugimoto the unhemorrhoidial’ instead than ‘the immortal’ . Sugimoto rolls on the ground in complain. Yamada begs Koito to remain with them but Koito refuses as Tsurumi would scold him. Tsukishima tells Yamada they’re pursuing some people and asks him if he has information who could help them. Yamada suggests Kiro might be heading to the Alexandrovskaya prison were many partisans were moved years ago. Sugimoto thinks Kiro might be heading there. Tsukishima comments although the performance didn’t help they got important info. Sugimoto says he’s sure the performance helped and Asirpa would surely see the newspaper and understand it’s him.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Sugimoto smiles as he says Asirpa might figure out it’s him if she reads the newspaper. In the anime he’s serious.

My two cents: It’s not bad. I like the font they used for the newspaper which made it look like a real newspaper. If I’ve to be honest I don’t like much the ‘depression aura’ or whatever that is coming out of Yamada but it might be just me.

ASIRPA IS SEEING SOMETHING

Manga & Anime: As Sugimoto hopes Asirpa will see the newspaper article Asirpa actually sees some poop which turns out to be Shiraishi’s.

There are minor cuts and changes:

- In the manga Asirpa is delighted with her finding, likely thinking they could hunt the animal which pooped. In the anime she sounds worried as if scared, and her expression isn’t shown.

My two cents: Honestly I prefers the manga version, with Asirpa being excited at the idea to hunt something. It might be just me.

TO SUM IT ALL

Overall it’s not a bad episode. They had to cut quite a bit to transpose all those pages but except for one or two things it wasn’t nothing too serious or too character characterization harming, the art wasn’t too bad either. If anything we can complain the episode isn’t as informative as the manga but this isn’t terrible. Some action scenes are nice. And everything seems to work.

I’m thinking of an alternate universe where GK has a popular western fanbase. The entire fandom gets cancelled for Tsurumi hornyposting, the show gets accused of q-word baiting because of the beefcake fanservice, genuine debates on what gay ship will become canon will happen, and people ferociously argue over the “ethics” of shipping things like Sugio and Kirowilk.

most people who engage in dumbass discourse like that are teenagers or very young adults, which is why the only mangas with a sizeable western fanbase are ones in which most of the cast is of teen age. gk has only one relevant character under 20, which is already alienating for this kind of audience. in our universe adult fans are cancelling each other on twitter over incest shipping every other week after screenshotting private profile likes and other intense cyberstalking, call asirpa ableist for distrusting tsurumi and ogata, and kick people out of servers because they voiced that ships with a 13 years old age difference have a brotherly dynamic, thus taking it as an accusation of shipping incest. not even mentioning the discourse where actual accusations of being a right-winger nazi if you enjoy the series are being thrown around. and it’s all by 20+ years olds. just because the fandom is small it doesn’t mean that it isn’t full of chronically logged on morons. i will keep pestering people to give the series a try because it’s good and i actually do want it to be successful.

Gotham Knights: Villains

Talia al Ghul: As the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, she was raised to be the League of Shadows' second-in-command, and has been fiercely loyal to their cause since childhood. Growing up within the League, she has come to see people as chess pieces to be manipulated, though there was a brief time when another path seemed possible. In hindsight, our brief relationship was a mistake. I should have known she would never betray her father by leaving the League. In recent years, Talia has grown resentful of her father for passing her over as his replacement. Ra's al Ghul: One of my oldest and most dangerous enemies. The leader of the League of Shadows, Ra's always believed that humanity needs to be reset, free of the corruption infecting society for the last thousand years. He has killed countless innocents in pursuit of this goal. He is hundreds of years old thanks to the supernatural effects of the Lazarus Pit. Ra's is not immortal and has been obsessed with the idea that I replace him at the head of the League, despite our rivalry. In recent years he seems to be losing himself, becoming more volatile and losing his sense of purpose. This is likely due to his repeated exposure to the Lazarus Pit.

Mr. Freeze: Victor Fries is a brilliant scientist with an unfortunate condition that requires his body to operate at sub-zero temperatures. As Mr. Freeze, he is one of my oldest adversaries. He long promised he would reform once he found a cure for his wife Nora's condition. However, after her recovery she rejected him because of the atrocities he committed in her name. Now, he seems to be headed down a very dark path. I'm working to develop an antidote for his condition, but until he accepts responsibility for his actions, he will never truly be cured.. Clayface: Basil Karlo was once an actor, but his delusions of grandeur and his ego lead him into a life of crime. I was unable to save Karlo from the accident that turned him into the criminal known as Clayface, and he has held a personal grudge against me ever since. His anger and his ability to mold his body into any shape have made for a dangerous combination in our past encounters. The last time we faced off, Karlo fell to his death, having been torn apart by a turbine. I couldn't stop it. Karlo may have hated me, but he never deserved a violent end. Clayface's motivations are simple. Vengeance. He's a spiteful person who has gone from being a burgeoning actor to be a disgraced criminal.

Harley Quinn: Harley's incredibly agile and uses her acrobatic kicks and flips mixed with a massive sledgehammer to fight through anything in her way. Determined and incredibly stubborn, Harley's got an innate sense of her own abilities and will never stop. Previously Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a rising star in the field of psychology, she turned to a life of crime and feeding on the chaos it offered. She worked with my worst enemy for some time before going her own way. Harley has recently shown signs that she is interested in rehabilitation, and I want to believe she is capable of it. I have recruited her to assist me with something on my latest case, something she is uniquely qualified to help with. My hope is that she will get a taste of the good she can do and that may help her turn over a new leaf.

[dotthings]

I literally do not care about the hate bombing at IMDB or the rotten tomatoes score on Gotham Knights. For one thing, it's transparently yet another case of a show being hatebombed just for being inclusive. But more importantly, what matters to me is the story it's going to tell me and what it means for my feelings as a batfamily fan. Every arrogant self-righteously bitter dc stan who keep going off about it for the sake of making noise, I assure you, has watched far worse and called it a masterpiece, and didn't care the way GK cares about the emotional inner life of dc characters. "Oh noes it's the CW so it's crap" -- yet GK antis sure are pissed about their CW DC shows getting cancelled, about Arrowverse being taken away, it's cute they pretend they didn't applaud an era of DC on the CW that was falling apart and sinking in quality. And so bitter about it they're attacking a series that doesn't deserve the hate it's getting. But sure. It's because you think CW is crap. Sure it is. It has nothing to do with your grudgewanky vengeance because you're mad at WBD and you're mad at the new CW era.

Please hate watch, keep raising the profile of the show with your hateful buzzing noises, hate bomb all you want. You aren't relevant for me.
