#ch 77

I don't really have any point to make there. I just thought it was worth pointing out that I haven't cried nearly as much as I could have after getting a tattoo last week and a failed IV insertion earlier today. The two events are not connected, btw. Just funny how it worked out. I would not last a day in the Seireitei or outer Rukongai districts.

Ganju, you might wanna back up. He has a tendency to get punchy when people get up in his--

Yeah, see? He'll punch you so hard you become a noodle. Also, don't act like you didn't start this, dude.

Imagine having the kind of confidence Ganju has in giving himself all these accolades. He must have some kind of strength to back these up, though, if people are going along with it. Unless it's more of smiling and nodding and saying, "of course you are!" in order to avoid any trouble?

I love how Kubo even makes his one-off unnamed characters look wild and distinct! I think my favorite of these goons has to be the emo fringelord with the heart-patterned clothing. I'm starting to notice a trend here...

...Okay, forget thrilling me with the intricacies of West Rukongai gang politics and Ganju's rise to fame. What I really wanna know is how the gang all collectively decided boar-riding was their thing. Was it just the closest they had to a rideable animal out there? How did they go about taming them? What are the boars' names?! Are the boars a part of their fights? They gotta be, right?

He tried to be reasonable. Maybe he could have tried to talk things out BEFORE knocking Ganju flying, but to be fair Ganju was already getting up in his space and grabbing his face first, so I doubt he would have been willing to cool his jets and listen to anything a shinigami had to say.

I wonder how many more times Ichigo's gonna mess things up by being a hotheaded teenager.

Ok, so Ganju does have some tricks up his sleeve! I'm starting to see how all his boasting might not be just empty bluster.
