Here I am theorizing about the possibility that Shirakumo wasn't dead, but in critical condition. Declaring him dead was just a facade to move him more easily without too much repercussions, having only very brief moments of consciousness, that's why when Aizwa confronts him, he responds "hospital" when he was supposed to be dead at that moment
Would 7000 words be too much for the first chapter of a fanfic?
I know this fight is supposed to be a serious moment, but Arajin’s mom framing it as a sex scene (coz she doesn’t know), combined with Arajin’s wish of losing his virginity, my mind can’t help but think of… other things (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
It might not seem like it at first glance, but Arajin's desire to lose his virginity takes on a deeper meaning when you start observing certain details.
Have you noticed that despite what he says, when Arajin fantasizes about Mahoro, it's never in a sexual way?(At least according to what one might expect) Rather, he fantasizes about moments of connection, because that's what he's really looking for deep down.
This duality between sex and fighting, which at first might seem strange, actually has a common thread: giving everything, being exposed, and above all, being vulnerable, which ultimately creates the space for the main conflict to be resolved
the official chibis are too cute......

whole bunch of bucchigiri memes I made part 1
not very new hyperfixation rediscovered write a poem abt it
two sides of the same stone: in defense of arajin as an mc & his parallels with matakara in bucchigiri?!
honestly, everytime i see someone say "matakara should've been the mc" in response to them not liking bucchigiri i kind of laugh because like. i really don't think it would've changed your mind. if matakara was actually the mc, people would've gotten mad that he still wants to reconnect with arajin because of the way arajin distances himself from him, or that he gets corrupted, or that zabu is the one who should've stepped in.
i think when people say that bucchigiri sucks because matakara forgave arajin, they fail to understand that arajin was matakara's first friend other than his brother. komao and zabu, while matakara's friends are not as close to him as arajin was (i.e. how they get matakara's favourite gyoza lunch from the convenience store, but arajin teaches matakara how to make gyoza.)
people dismiss arajin because he's an unlikeable, cowardly protagonist, but he and matakara are two sides of the same coin: matakara wants to become strong because he believes he is weak. everyone's left him. he wants to become strong, so he doesn't have to rely on anyone, because he doesn't want to burden them. he pushes the people who care about him away. the biggest hater arajin has IS himself. arajin runs away from his problems because he believes he is weak, so he doesn't try. he doesn't deserve (in this case) matakara's forgiveness, so he pushes him away because he doesn't believe in himself. he doesn he also doesn't reach out to the people who care about him, and pushes them away. both are flawed people who idealize and project onto others in order to cope: matakara with arajin, as a reminder of his past, and arajin with mahoro, as what an "ideal" and "normal" relationship should be like. and when the illusion is broken, they double down. and, in order to help matakara, arajin has to forgive himself in order to help others. does bucchigiri have flaws when it comes to writing? yes, absolutely. i think there are issues when it comes to pacing, i think certain characters could've been tied into the plot better thematically, and i think scenes could've been added to push the relationships and themes more. however, i want to stress: when you dismiss arajin as a character, you also dismiss matakara as a character as well, and the parallels between them. you ignore what makes their relationship, and in turn, their characters, and by extension- the show- so interesting.
It's always good that more people want to bring this topic to the table. Not connecting with a character is understandable, but to deliberately call him "bad" without even making the effort to understand him, I think, That says more about them than about Arajin as a character.
And it's ironic, because in the end, I can't help but think that many fell into what Bucchigiri criticizes, putting their expectations on someone else. Because Arajin is not your typical power fantasy, because it doesn't follow your typical average BL ship dynamics. Could his writing have been better? Yes, I think that all of us who enjoy the story do so aware of its flaws.
As someone who initially disliked Arajin, I find him particularly annoying. I'd say that maybe it's because when you grow up you can see things from a broader perspective, or maybe I stumbled upon what I needed to start understanding him, not to mention that the interaction with the fandom helped me a lot, to the point that I started to notice the details on my own. But that's exactly my problem, I legitimately wanted to understand the character, why can't others just do the same?
I will always say it, Buccigiri may not be perfect, but it's special and above all, a story with soul and a lot of personality, with very interesting details and themes that many don't pay attention to just because of something as superficial as not liking the protagonist (not to mention how they use him as an excuse to spit on the show), as if there weren't characters who have done worse things, but that most forgive for being strong or attractive.
The fact that so many people enjoyed and connected with Bucchigiri despite its flaws and unjustified hatred, says more than it may seem. I have a lot of esteem for this story and I just want more to be able to give it a chance and see the charm that I see in it. Bucchigiri and Arajin deserves.
Thank you, every new Bucchigiri art makes me happy
bucchigiri memes i've made pt 1
Thank you, I love it!
I'm sorry, it took me so long to get this up, I had invited everyone else to come back and share their analysis, so I should have been the first. Here I leave my analysis of Bucchigiri, maybe the fandom here seems dead, but I'm glad to see that from time to time something new appears, so I want to leave this as a way to welcome those who want to delve deeper into the themes and details of this story, so again, don't be discouraged, I like to think that despite everything things are getting better, we're not dead.
COOKING, LOVE AND HOME
MORE THAN A STONE
IS THERE ANY ADULT?
I think it would be interesting to see a little more of Matakara and his brother, so I'll leave here an idea that has been on my mind for a while
Short story
It's been some time since Mitsukuni managed to recover, now he and his brother have rented a small apartment so they can be on their own. However, now that it seems like everything is finally settling down, Matakara still can't stop thinking about a subject that still haunts him, so he wants to talk to his brother about it, although he's not entirely sure how he'll take it…
Matakara: Brother…
Mitsukuni: Is something wrong?
Matakara: What would you do if they ever come back?
Mitsukuni: You mean…?
Matakara nodded.
Mitsukuni: Why do you ask so suddenly? It's been a while since the last time.
Matakara: It's just that… I almost don't remember their faces anymore.
Mitsukuni: I guess it's natural, you were very young, even I'm having a hard time doing it.
Matakara: And what do you feel about it?.
Mitsukuni took a moment, the truth was that the subject still affected him more than he was willing to admit, even more so in front of his younger brother.
Mitsukuni: I don't know, honestly, the only thing I care about is that you and I get ahead.
Matakara: I understand, it's just that when I see Ara-chan with his mom or Zabu and Komao with their parents, sometimes I can't help but wonder what it would be like if they were here.
Mitsukuni: Yeah… it's complicated, right? But… try not to get too wrapped up in those thoughts.
Matakara: You're right, it's not worth it, I'm sorry I bothered you with that.
Mitsukuni shook his head.
Mitsukuni: You don't have to apologize, I appreciate your sincerity, maybe… it's healthier than continuing to bury it under the rug. So I ask you to talk to me if you feel that way again.
Matakara: Thank you, brother.
At that moment there was a short silence between the two in which neither of them knew exactly what to say, which made Matakara somewhat uncomfortable. Even if his brother had reacted better than expected, it seemed as if he was keeping something that at this point he was not sure what it would be, until eventually his countenance became more affable, it was there that he realized that he had exaggerated everything, his brother was just undecided.
Mitsukuni: Matakara, do you want to have dinner out? It may sound silly, but I want us to continue making good memories.
Matakara: Are you sure? I have no problem if we just have dinner here.
Mitsukuni: Don't worry, I got some extra pay at work, besides, sometimes I feel like I don't spend enough time with you, we should celebrate that we have each other whenever we can, don't you think?
Matakara: Yes, it's something to be thankful for.
