In a way, this story tries to contextualise why Japan went loving insane in the 30s and 40s. They had their own version of ww1 ahead of schedule.

No, knocking over a few German colonies in the actual ww1 didn't count.

Yeah everyone in 7th division have the same kind of eyes, they're all stone cold badasses.

Sugimoto is capable of tapping into the same kind of fury, but has not lost himself in a desire for carnage. his memories of the past help pull him from the brink.

Also, god drat the final action sequence was awesome: the block with the rifle, and the two clean shanks to the side. My only complaint is that the position of the bullet wound keeps changing: the exit wound was initially at the right flank, then it shifted to the left, and then the entry wound has shifted back to the right.

haha, ushiyama tried to assassinate tojo. man, wartime japan was hilariously lenient when it came to assassinations of officials (because they were usually done under the auspices of other factions who could not be openly opposed), in contrast to germany

the thing about this series is that it isn't afraid to go off on weird digressions, like the hh holmes references, or the yojimbo homage

i love the eyes of the characters

there are eyes that have been dulled by violence, little remains in their souls

sugimoto is not one of these men, he still lives as a human can and should

and then there is is edogai, so full of love and life that he imbues in in everything he touches and crafts

Okay this series seems to be on a rhythm of meet an Abashiri dude, brutally murder them after they contribute a plot element. It's getting a tad tired now.

Same, even though I thought it was a badger at first. All mustelids are right bastards that can punch (or scratch and bite, if you will) several dozen weight classes above them. Do not gently caress with them.
