An Oni or Human-A Lone Warrior’s Tale
These moments that Gin shares with people, particularly ones in which he discloses such personal thoughts, are always so beautiful to me.
For all his clownish buffoonery and seedy personality that he exhibits most of the time, you never really seem to forget what he also is at heart;
He carries with him old scars that have barely even healed, having survived a hellish era of near-endless fighting and bloodshed that stripped him of his humanity.
And though there are times that he forgets about them through the peaceful days he shares with his friends, the past will never let him go.
But even he finds the strength to smile gently and speak in a way that doesn’t seem like bitter resentment.
He may have been the Shiroyasha on the battlefield, but his heart is still as strong and as kind as ever.
