Gaiden

[tj_dragonblade]

Oh.  Gaiden.  I...there are no words.  Just the ache.  It breaks the heart, yes, but it moves the soul in such a way...

Dear, brash, big-hearted Kenren. Of course he's the first to go.

...

...

...It is entirely inappropriate, perhaps, in light of...well, everything...that even as my heart is in my throat and my eyes are beginning to prick, there is still a piece of me capable of being quietly awestruck at how utterly beautiful Goujun is on the final page.  Blood and all.  Or perhaps it's that 'everything' that puts such beauty in the panel.  It just...oh.  Everything.  Everything.

*Observes another moment of silence*

Is okay... There's more dead bodies in Bleach 8(

He really hasn't changed as Gojyo though. He still jumps in front to get bashed first, instead of the others. Most of the time, he's the first to get back up again too. Which is why he's such a nursemaid in the first place and he's so subtle about it. Hearing about this makes me sad, but i knew it was inevitable.

The big question is what is this going to do to Tenpou, who basically went a bit apeshit after he was only imprisoned? I expect a more insane berserker out of him after this. Calm, quiet, implacable death on two feet.

Point me to the scans? *big eyes* I just read the material in volume 3 this weekend and would like to see more.

Minekura can even make blood, gore and death incredibly beautiful. She's just amazing.

If Gojyo didn't already exist I don't know how I'd cope!

How is everyone reading this?

Join the crying fangirl circle.

There are still a few tears in my eyes everytime I even think about it.

And yes, Goujun-sama is just, everything. You are making me cry again. ;__;

Local con is this weekend, and my western army coat is in my closet, skull and chains in the accessories box, and I still haven't decided if I can handle wearing it this year.

(Previous years I'd already had dyed black hair to go with it. This year, I'd dyed it plum over dark blond about a month ago, and it's fading to a pink-ish red colour this week.)

I dunno... I was really sad like everyone else, and at the same time not... He went out embracing all that is *living* in such a grand way, giving himself to life, not to death. Walking to work the next morning I found myself really appreciating the blooming apple trees above my head, and thinking about that "bloom and bloom" line, and smiling. Does that make any sense at all, or am I just that much weirder?
Of course, it helps immensely that we know that this isn't really the end with him.:(

*whimpers* Yeah, I've been kind of achey and nostalgic since I found out about what happens too.

Ah, Kenren <3

I'm definitely gonna' be interested to see what Tenpou does now.

I finally read the what everyone’s talking about thanks to you and I have to say… *choke* it was beautiful. You expressed it eloquently enough. Poor Kenren.

On a side note, Minekura sure is obsessed with her characters losing an eye. I mean, that monster’s claw was freaking big and thick and yet it had the precision to only tear out Gojun’s eyeball. What are the chances?
