Akakamakiri, Kamajiro, Kurokamakiri and Sirius

The first appearance of Shirozaru, Rara and Muu

Sasuke has been beaten up by Kamakiri’s sons (Akakamakiri, Kamajiro and Kurokamakiri). Once Sasuke lands onto the snow, Kamajiro stumbles into the three Kishu dogs standing at the distance. Sasuke gets up and he’s surprised to find that one of them looks like Akame. However, Akakamakiri doesn’t care about this. Before Akakamakiri could charge at the three dogs, they jump away from him as well as taking Sasuke away to safety. The three Kishus are Shirozaru, Rara and Muu; they are Akame’s grandchildren.

Death of Kamajiro part 2 (Akakamakiri’s grieving anger) 

In a mix of anger and grief, Akakamakiri snaps at the dogs that he did not want to be part of this anymore. He blames Orion and the Ohu Soldiers for his brother's death that he charged at the puppy who in turn had dodged from the grieving wolfhound. Kurokamakiri stops Akakamakiri in his tracks and tells his brother that he had enough of his brother's temper tantrums and throws him off from the pack. Feeling overwhelmed with grief and outnumbered by Kurokamakiri and his followers who turned against him, Akakamakiri resigns in shame and leaves the group all alone. Later on, Orion, Sirius, Kurokamakiri, Junnosuke and the others gave Kamajiro a burial and they howl a farewell.

Death of Kamajiro part 1

Kamajiro was suffering from a head injury by having wound infection, seizures and fever thanks to Orion’s battouga and Shirozaru’s bites in a previous fight. Thus, he had to be carried around by his short-tempered brother Akakamakiri when he had trouble walking alongside with Kurokamakiri, Kamakiri Brothers’ packmates (e.g. Junnosuke) and Orion’s group. Knowing that he is going to die, Kamajiro says his goodbyes to his brother and others before falling off Akakamakiri’s back and died on the spot. The dogs stood around in shock and in tears to this tragedy - Akakamakiri  stands in shock and calls out frantically to his fallen brother, Sirius holds onto Kamajiro's body and cries loudly in sorrow. Akakamakiri looks away before turning to snap at the dogs that he did not want to be part of this anymore, he blames Orion and the Ohu Soldiers for his brother's death.

30 Day Ginga Challenge - Day 4

Day 4: Favourite Villain - Sniper (GNG and GDW Manga), Bat (GDW) and Kamakiri Brothers (GDWO Manga) 

SNIPER of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin manga and anime 

Out of all the villains of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, Sniper earns the place as my favourite GNG villain. Kurojaki may be cool for his ninja skills and scythe but his war with Akame over the scrolls which they can’t read (they are dogs, not humans for crying out loud!) seems rather too absurd for me to gain my interest. Except for Akakabuto who is the scariest bear, the bears are too dull to be interesting villains. So, I choose Sniper instead because he is rather manipulative, ambitious and cunning. However, he does have flaws like he tends to get too arrogant and overconfident that his shortcomings tends to bite him in the ass. Basically, Sniper is the dog version of Starscream from Transformers. 

SNIPER (a.k.a Murder S) of Ginga Densetsu Weed manga

This version of Sniper (or Murder S) in GDW manga is my favourite villain because he may be old and disabled but he is very cunning, manipulative, determined and clever that he is a valuable asset for Hougen (he had been appointed as a Chief Guard Dog after Hougen, Kamakiri and the pack left for Gajou). Plus, he has metal legs after his wheelchair broke which turned him into a formidable fighter as well as he has a die-hard determination to kill either Weed or Gin. Unlike Kamakiri who is a big bad wannabe, Sniper knows when not to mess with Hougen as he is old and disabled to fight the stronger great dane. So instead, he relies on his manipulations and intelligence which led to the discord between Tesshin and the Ohu Soldiers by lying to him and he used his wits to let Hougen think twice when he was nearly-killed by the premature burial. Plus the metal legs and scars on his body and face as well as his die-hard nature of coming back from near-deaths for his goal makes him creepy yet cool like a horror movie villain. 

BAT (a.k.a Batto) from Ginga Densetsu Weed manga and anime

While I mostly dislike the anime adaptation of Ginga Densetsu Weed for screwed-up animation and poor characterization, Bat is the one of the few characters in the anime that got my interest. Bat in the manga my be mysterious and intelligent but he’s not that evil as he joined Hougen and became a platoon leader. Bat has sharp sense that he sees through the mind’s eye and read auras to tell lies. He knows about Hougen’s true nature and doesn’t like it but obeys him in order to survive. In the manga, Bat joined Gin’s side because he was impressed by Gin’s aura of determination and goodness. 

Whereas in the anime, Bat was shown to be a fighter and as well as more sinister and evil when he uses his tricks to fight by luring Ken and Kagetora into a trap. Also, Bat’s anime voice suits him very well for his mysterious nature. 

The KAMAKIRI BROTHERS (Akakamakiri, Kamajiro and Kurokamakiri) of GDWO Manga 

In GDWO manga, my favourite villains are the Kamakiri Brothers because although they are jerks for treating other dogs badly, at least they have brotherly moments with each other (e.g. trying to control the short-tempered Akakamakiri from taking out on Sirius). Akakamakiri is the short-tempered stubborn leader who throws his tantrums but as the series progressed, he got some character development when he slowly learn to respect other dogs after losing to Orion and then, leaving his pack after Kamajiro’s death. In the end, after meeting his estranged mother again and rejoining his brother, his attitude had changed. Kamajiro is the voice of reason and a kinder brother of the trio who died from head wound after losing to Orion. Kurokamakiri the younger brother is also another dog who respects Sirius and tries to calm his elder brother down.
