Araki really, really, really cooked with writing Gyro. Because of course it's the man who deals with life and death on the daily that understands the weight of a human life. Of course it's the surgeon and executioner that hesitates and thinks and debilitates before finally settling on death being the only way out of a confrontation. And of course it's the boy whose hunger surpassed his humanity, whose "win at all costs" attitude includes endangering himself if it means victory, that brought out a new side of him. On paper, it's almost silly to think that the executioner, the man who has been molded to feel no sentimentality towards those under his weapons, hesitates to kill more than the bo who lost it all. But that's why SBR's writing HITS. Gyro isn't a caricature of a stuck-up, pretentious doctor or of a cold-hearted executioner. He feels. A lot. Enough to risk everything for a child. Enough to stick by Johnny's side. AUGHHH his occupations are SO important to me and to him as a character. And that, again, makes his dynamic with Johnny so so so interesting. That's what makes "Starve nobly!" so good. FUCK I love Gyro Zeppeli wtf did Araki PUT in that bitch
