growing progressively more and more loyal to the old style of Goemon and just viscerally disliking his part 5 design, which is ironic consider part 5 was the first part I watched consecutive episodes of and through which I became a fan? But now I look back on it and his design is just too generically pretty and young looking. I like his big chin and they took it out :( you can’t even say it was the style bc in that episode where Goemon hallucinates himself they draw him in his classic design and it looks good? Weird that the part where it’s canonically a ways down the road for the gang is the one they choose to make Goemon look like he’s years younger than the rest of the gang lol
#goemon ishikawa xiii#i feel bad disliking it bc there are parts of part 5 I like like the plot resolving Goemon’s former status as an enemy#but man I can’t look at it and think of Goemon as I know him now— part 5 Goemon and part 2 Goemon feel like two completely different people#I supposed you could make the argument that part 5 Goemon’s design is more based off of part 1 and cagliostro and such#*suppose#but man idk what it is but he doesn’t even look vaguely middle aged like the rest of them in that part#i like his overall shape better with the longer chin too
