Mystique Get Dressed! 

Could you link some of your threads discussing and analyzing Garou’s character as a whole or analyzing strong scenes that emphasize his character?

Many of them nowadays are either chapter-specific observations and commentaries, or anon-prompted meta discussions, but let's see if I can list some of the major/overarching ones I’ve written over the years (some might be pretty old too):

Why does Garou have no confidence?

The Shed Scene in-depth: on his semblance of choice and on whose version of ‘justice’ prevails + bonus anime commentary + bonus vs Darkshine callback  

More in-depth thoughts about Wolf Boy - a binding mindset stemming from his childhood

To Stand and Be Strong - on his grueling personal mantra that compels him to keep fighting

The Will to Power - heavy theory centric; where Garou’s arc shows us the way (of what not to do)

Garou’s compassionate side & empathetic capacity as a telling mark of his humanity

The WCScene™ - on the ending mistranslation and Tareo’s importance

All his direct arc parallels he shares with other heroic characters, including The Dual Disciples’ Lament (with Genos) + bonus comedic irony with King

How gracefully he carries himself - aka Murata’s art appreciation

My personal favorite positive aspects and manga moments 

Other specific character traits: he’s no coward, he’s a tsundere, he’s an introvert (bonus mbti analysis), he’s ‘pure of heart,’ he also likes misunderstood ‘cool’ animals

On more of the negatives/controversial traits:

Critiquing his character flaws

On ‘non-heroic’ behaviors that Garou doesn’t like - bonus: on Mumen, on Blue Fire, on Metal Bat

When he encounters real monsters he finds them disgusting

On his internalized self-worth issues dehumanizing himself

His habit to throw his opponents’ own words back at them

On whether he’s a ‘hypocrite’ vs his struggles in cognitive dissonance

On his common fanon + bad faith mischaracterizations (1, 2, 3)

His tv tropes and classification as an Anti-Hero (by ONE himself)

More Garou vs Saitama relevant food for thought discussions: their introspective identity parallels on learning what they lack, my warning on Saitama’s approach, their opposing light & dark symbolism, webcomic Garou’s post-arc speculation

For fun: commentary on Ova4 Games & Rivals (Garou vs Suiryu, set before their wc meeting), the manga’s character introduction pages reflecting Garou’s growing story prominence, and his photoset compilations (because why not~)

t&b s2 spoilers: just some thoughts about our amazing golden boy ryan

I think Ryan is such a neat little dude because he’s absolutely a red herring—based on his introduction in The Rising, we think he is going to be a toxic jerk whose actions are solely dictated by his ego and who will get some sort of comeuppance from our main cast.

Instead, Ryan is loud and full of himself but in a really charming way, he’s shown to have a really good sense of his ability (including its limitations) and uses it strategically in his particular environment (I’m thinking here about The Rising where he uses his gravity field to pull a collapsing building towards objects that can act as supports, etc.). 

He’s very personable and emotionally attuned to others despite being a straightforward talker (e.g. he quickly picks up on Barnaby’s complicated feelings towards Kotetsu, and never tries to pull the two apart even when he’s Barnaby’s partner, outside of the occasional teasing). And in Season 2, we’ve seen how close he’s gotten to the other heroes (e.g. defending Barnaby from Subaru’s caustic questions because he knows Barnaby’s been through a lot) and how he’s open to reevaluating his own perspectives of others when he messes up (specifically with Karina). 

On the last point, I like how he, like the other main male heroes in the show, isn’t weirdly patronizing or rude (or, god forbid, perverted for misogynistic fanservice) towards the main female heroes. When he is acting weird about the idea of Karina partnering up with Kotetsu, it’s shown to be the result of a traumatic experience that he himself hasn’t properly processed with the support of those he can trust, rather than some ingrained trait of toxic masculinity. And Karina directly calls him out on the biases he does have towards “protecting” her, which is like, fantastic? Their partnership is equal, and when push comes to shove with our main villains this arc he doesn’t question Karina’s abilities and uses his gravity field to support her. He doesn’t “hog the spotlight” because he believes in his team. He’s the one who apologizes for treating Karina like a newbie who needs protecting, after he sees how independent she is, how much trust she has from her family, and how much she’s sacrificed from her own life in order to pursue what she wants. And I know we’re meme-ing the moment where he calls himself a feminist, but it’s clear that Ryan genuinely respects Karina, and by the end he really becomes the mischievous older brother figure that I think he fits perfectly. 

Anyways Ryan is such a refreshing spin on a design that screams “asshole” but in reality is “big puppy who is just The Best Boi.”

Of Wives and their Hopeless Men

+ Ossan-boyfriends and Ex-s cross paths under the Sapporo Clock Tower

1. Inkarmat’s been blessed with two children- an adowable girl and her hopeless himbo boyfriend

Tanigaki: Again I had be to saved by Huci. I’m…useless…

Come on Tanigaki…everyone knows you’re the himbo and Inkarmat wears the pants. Be glad she loves ya and if you get you’re useless start being more responsible now that you are a dad…and probably will end up Nihei v.2.0 with…dear god Nihei had 14+1, didn’t he?

Till the end I think my paranoid fear will dread about their fate…the Shinigami is still on the loose

Though…he has Fina and Olga’s little fingers to brood over…is it?

Finger Bones…

3. The case of Kadokura’s disastrously good luck #5

Kadokura: Look Kirawus! Some small change fell.

Kikuta: Whats the matter?

Usami: I though I heard a Head Jailer Tanukya~t

Kadokura: It’s one sen!!

Kirawus: Nice, at least today you have no unluck.

.

Ne Kirawus nispa, don’t jinx the one sen or you’ll cry at one sen…

.

Now all we need is settling the messy divorce case of Toni and Ariko vs. Kikuta and Scarf 

and maybe Vasily reaching Ogata…
