Calling Wolfwood "Woowoo" to cope with the horrors of his life story ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Wise words from Juji Kabane:
(This is so badly edited 😭)
Love how everybody in the Gungrave anime still refers to Grave as Brandon. It’s like everybody heard Doctor Tokioka’s idea for “Beyond the Grave” and were like that’s stupid we’re not calling him that. Harry and the other upper echelon of Millenion still call him Brandon Heat, call that deadnaming or something.
(spoiler warning for the first Gungrave game, Gungrave Overdose, Trimax and the Trigun 98 anime I guess??)
Look, I know everyone and their grandma has made a comparison post between Wolfwood and Bunji but do you know what's even worse? The first time Wolfwood kicks the bucket ever is in the 98 anime by fighting his mentor, getting shot and then dying in an abandoned church.
Meanwhile what does Bunji do the first time he keels over in Gungrave ? That's right, he fights his mentor, gets shot and dies in an abandoned church (with slight nuance but still).
(Also don't forget that the second time both of these sh*theads meet their ends (in Trigun Maximum and Gungrave Overdose respectively), it's partially thanks to the involvement of their respective white-haired younger brothers they hadn't seen in ages.)
Anyway, what the f*ck Nightow.
Very epic actually. Love dragon versions of things I like.
Had a dream recently in a rpg concept where grave could heal others with a use of cat ears and paw gloves. He also could turn into a dragon. How epic is that
is the gungrave fandom real please tell me u guys r real i want friends
goddd i love the woodwinds on the gungrave anime ost. i think it's bassoon on "blue of blue", "my old friend", and "gone fishing" like damn it just sounds so good and heavy and melancholy idk how to describe it lol it works so nicely. excellent performances excellent musician(s) idk i'll look at liner notes later
"redemption arcs are toxic, you shouldn't try to fix someone!"
actually it is so important to me that being in community and experiencing human connection can save people. thanks

Surprise, surprise! It comes down to you and me, Grave. As it should be, right? No one else was gonna prove worthy. We both knew that. Just a few roadblocks to soften you up for the real showdown.
Do you ever think about how Brandon Heat felt about people trying to get closer to him? Starting with Widge and Gary who helped him become more familiar with being a new member of Millenion and sort of becoming his mentor figures which would then be filled by Big Daddy. Do you think that when Harry introduced him to Lee and Bob that he felt an ache in his heart as he witnessed them joking and talking with another because it reminded him of the gang he used to have a similar bond with? Do you think Brandon eventually started to push away Maria and even newcomers like Bunji who so desperately wanted to have a relationship with him because he didn’t want to go through that loss again? Because he couldn’t bear to lose anyone like he lost his old friends?
And since Overdose is implied to be a direct follow up to the Gungrave anime do you think Beyond the Grave feels a sense of deja vu when he sees how Juji, RB, Spike and Mika interact with each other? Does Grave have vague memories of him and the others Jolice, Nathan and Harry, how could he forget Harry would tease Kenny constantly as well as give each other shit just to mess with one another? Does he remember those days where he didn’t feel the need to constantly hide his true emotions from his closest friends? Did he remember the numerous arguments that Nathan and Kenny would have that made Harry and him separate them to prevent a brawl as Jolice laughed at their antics? Do you think that, for just a day, Beyond the Grave felt he still had a reason to continue his existence besides a promise he made to a woman he didn’t allow himself to love? That for the first time in what felt like an eternity whatever left of Brandon Heat experienced that connection to others that he used to have? That maybe Grave wouldn’t have to fight alone anymore now that he had others to watch his back?
Much to think about.
Because I am normal about this series I decided to make an entire blog dedicated to it. Because I'm normal.
