like I want a Les Miserables of the Kuno Estate manga!Gosunkugi edition lol

Could you go on about this idea, I'd like to hear about it?

Les Miserables is all about being a more serious Sasuke character study and ig I wanted a chapter like that but with manga!Gosunkugi instead? Chapter 245 sometimes does that but I feel like these moments where the spiral ends and Gosunkugi snaps back to reality are way too short.

The tricky part would be ig figuring out a way to get Hikaru in a similar situation in the first place and make the cast notice him like with Sasuke(how far would he go to get that attention?)to then get into the character study section.

Would Ranma and Gosunkugi do a Ichigo/Hantaro couples' cosplay together?

Not the first time someone's noticed it but yes ig my ships are kinda similar though they're very different too lol(I can explain this in a future post)

Anyway yeah they did it rn in fact

I remember when I first watched the Ranma anime and was floored at how the Furinkan Stalker story wasn't in the manga because it was absolutely something Gosu would've came up to get Ranma's attention and get him down to his level on the social hierarchy. :T

I really liked it too(especially that one scene in the classroom between the two) but I noticed that while the anime version of Gosu is always hatching a new plan to get rid of Ranma the manga version sticks to stalking until an opportunity falls on his hands(Kuno, paper dolls, the armor) so ig a manga version of it would first have Ranma do something humiliating and Gosu catching it and spreading the rumor?

Sorta unrelated but one thing I liked about the anime was that Ranma is way nicer to Gosunkugi than in the manga making their dynamic a little different too. I always wondered what would happen if manga!Kugi met Nettohen!Ranma lol

Response to your last post

Are you implying that Daisuke and Hiroshi don't have crush on him too hahaha

They got a crush on anybody remotely attractive and each other lol

[chaoticreivingu]

Not ask, I just wanted to say that I really love your dedication to Gosunkugi. Your ramblings are very fascinating and makes me notice things that i wouldn't have noticed myself, since you tend to point out stuff that other people don't

It inspires me to be just as enthusiastic when i talk about my favourite characters as you

Anyway keep up good work, excited to hear more about Gosu :)

AWWW🥺THANKS ANON THIS MEANS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEAAAA and yeah sometimes I wonder what other fans are thinking of these raves so I'm glad you're enjoying them lol most of the time they're not even intentional I just suddenly remember a scene and then notice a little detail or an idea comes up and I jot it down😆

For me fandom-wise propping stuff up is generally healthier than bringing stuff down, I love showcasing why I like what I like and Gosunkugi has been my rumic favorite for 12 years so ig this can be a place where I can archive those things. Anyway thanks again don't be afraid to reach out to me! Have a bonus Gosu!!

The funny thing is when you mention a Gosunkugi version of Les Miserables of the Kuno Estate, I thought you meant a Tatewaki Kuno/Hikaru Gosunkugi bromancde, LOL!

I feel Gosunkugi's summer affair was a good episode where Gosunkugi got alot of sympathetic focus in the 90s anime.

Omg😆ig it could work too but weirdly enough they're kinda distant in the manga post-Romeo though Gos did willingly exchange diaries with Kuno in ch200 so👀

I forgot to mention it but yeah that moment where Ranma's with Gosunkugi in the riverbend is a great example of what I was talking about, idk how manga!Kugi would react to Kogane since the former had this panel unlike Anime!Gosunkugi who's way more into the occult and a little girl crazy lol

I SO regret forgetting to send a question to Takahashi's new book when I had the chance to because even though there's a lot of implications for what makes him tick manga!Gos is so much more mysterious than his OG anime counterpart😭

Oh have you heard about the Otaku Killer likely being why Gosunkugi appeared later in the original anime (the Nettohen part), I think you have, but I wanted to make sure? It seems based off the research and beliefs of Japanese fans that Sasuke was going to appear to begin with, similar to Ichiro in the new version, but the controversy meant that Sasuke was also used to subsitute Gosunkugi.

I wonder what the original anime would've been like if the first series wasn't technically cancelled and it got to do Gosunkugi, than get to Sasuke?

Omg yeah I researched this a ton ever since I found out Gosunkugi had a theme song on the season 1 album AND the anime had this line and cameo early on👀

I've heard about Sasuke being designed by Takahashi but unlike the otaku killer thing idk where it originates from. If it's true Sasuke would probably be used in arcs where they visit Kuno's house like the delivery race or the cookie battle.

There's no evidence for this but Tsutomu Kashiwakura was cast in Ranma as an additional voice for the later s1 episodes, I wonder if he was gonna voice Gosunkugi? Maybe that's also why he got postponed if even his planned va shared a name with the otaku killer.

[chaoticreivingu]

Do you have any opinion on Sasuke from the original anime?

Also its interesting that Sasuke is a particularly type of ninja that relates to Japanese history. There's a position in Japanese history known as Oniwaban  御庭番, which is basically a caretaker of an noble's estate that also acted as a spy or ninja.

Takahashi's previous popular manga and anime, Urusei Yatsura also had a Oniwaban appear as a character's occupation, though this character, Shingo, was very different from Sasuke.

Personally I hope Sasuke will make a minor appearance in the new anime.

Sorry for the wait anon! Anyway I don't mind Sasuke I kinda prefer him over Ichiro tbh but I get kinda envious of the screentime he gets in episodes where he's not even replacing anyone like I want a Les Miserables of the Kuno Estate manga!Gosunkugi edition lol And yeah I knew about the Oniwaban and Shingo

Maybe he'll appear in the background during the Kuno vs Kodachi arcs but idk if they'll be adapted at this point😔
