Gungrave - Blog Posts
never must stop, it's stealing my heart
It's the fun kind of a character dynamic.
I'VE FOUND AN OLD JUJI SKETCH IN MY CAMERA 🔥🔥🔥
(People post their school doodles and sketches right?)
wowieeee gungrave brainrot
Welcome to the internet stiffs! Expect all types of craziness in the future. In all seriousness, I do have one question. How did Billy set up a Tumblr account in the first place? He doesn’t have a physical body, Juji is blind so he wouldn’t be able to type let alone see the screen and Grave is…well. Grave.
RB: "About that... I used a bit of electricity on my guitar to set that up, quite strugglin' a little; besides that, Juji uses the mic instead."
Juji: "Yeah, right; surprised for a question that isn't horrible."
Grave: "..."
(OOC: How did Juji sees Fangoram not harmin' Spike, he's blind??? Quite confused on that part, the cutscene literally shows his POV? 🤔 Also about the guitar one, RB kinda controls it like the Wii controller.)
Wise words from Juji Kabane:

On the subject of Harry MacDowell
I’ve been rewatching the Gungrave anime with my sister and during the ‘Harry’ episode I had a sudden thought. Does anybody in the Gungrave fandom (at least on this site) actually like Harry? I don’t mean like as in ‘he’s a standup guy’ or whatever. I mean from an antagonist/character perspective does anyone find him compelling or interesting? Do you think he fills his role in the story well or do you think they could have done more with Harry? I’d love to hear any thoughts on this. Could be about his anime and/or video game incarnation.
The real reason Grave drags his feet everywhere is because he wants to delay dealing with bullshit for as long as possible.
Now that Gungrave Tumblr has found me, I'm posting this silly little meme I made.
Like, can we talk about this one scene in G.O.R.E. where Grave just gave the hardest and sassiest judgemental stare? I know homedude wanted to say something so bad. 💀
ok ok editing is ok
You know, I still for the life of me cannot figure out why this was included in the story. Like okay, we know that Harry is supposed to be climbing the ranks in Millenion but. I’m fairly certain that marrying Sherry/Shelly wouldn’t have helped him any more than the recommendations from Randy and Bear Walken himself already had. Was it just to make sure Bear wouldn’t interfere with Harry’s plans later? I never felt like Harry and Sherry’s relationship felt genuine either. For the whole show since the two met I completely thought that Harry was totally disinterested in Sherry and just dated her to keep Bear Walken off his back. But when Sherry dies Harry is genuinely sad and. I was like oh he did care. I guess. Yeah, the whole thing overall rubbed me the wrong way.
They really did a good job in gungrave by making henrys general personality dislikable as fuck but it actually is insane that they had his grown as hell ass take a 13 year old girl out on a date and have a pretty much public relationship with said 13 year old girl and literally nobody did anything
is the gungrave fandom real please tell me u guys r real i want friends
My sister saw the cigarette scene and fucking Vulcan and Blood War’s reunion with the gun barrels and was like: Remember that movie subtext I told you about?
And I did.
happy yaoi day
Nightow is the kind of writer who creates characters out of suffering, who are designed to suffer constantly, and who die still suffering. And he makes you care about them for the rest of your life.
Real ✊🏽😔
Yasuhiro Nightow will make a character called "Shoehorn the Cowboot" and his special moveset will be destroying the familial bonds between your family and friends and throwing grenade shaped boots at you.
I eat that shit up every time
the world just spins whilst mine stands still nothing's changed in your gravity grave
What I love about both Trigun and Gungrave, is that it shows the vulnerability of men in such an unfiltered way. Nightow gives us men that are powerful and scary and feared among people, even their own peers, but always lets them have a certain softness at their core and allows them to be humans that cry like infants when they lose a loved one and feel intense emotions. I love it so much because it tackles the bullshit idea that men have to cast aside their emotions to be strong. You can tell, no matter how badass these characters are and no matter the stupid decisions they make, that all they want is to be loved dearly.
Also the key for these characters to improve their mental state is NEVER to put up even higher walls, but to let people in and help them. They get better by allowing other people to love them, even when they feel so so undeserving of it because of past sins and mistakes they made. It's fucking amazing.
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
More unusual Grave screenshots because I can
people are designing modern manga characters thinking they should be animator friendly/not too complex/coherent,,,,,,,
meanwhile Nightow in the 1990s:
So I have a Gungrave artbook right?
And I was looking at Grave’s page for Overdose when I see this:
And like??
WHY was this not put into the game??? And more importantly, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS????
So I'm watching Gungrave and...
IS THAT YOU WOLFWOOD???
And LIVIO???
Nightow loved his blorbos so much he reincarnated them, huh.
Hello there fellow Gungrave fans!
(all 4 to 5 of you who still post)
I created this blog with the intention of adding my thoughts to this lovely series. Once again Yasuhiro Nightow tore out my heart right after I discovered Trigun. Even though Gungrave isn’t one of his more popular works I feel it still deserves some attention. While I admit that narratively Trigun still remains the more compelling of Nightow’s works (I haven’t seen Blood Blockade Battlefront yet please no spoilers) I loved Gungrave enough to buy the Dark Horse artbook! Ranging from stupid shitposts and analysis on both the games and anime adaptation, I would love to discuss this odd little gem with others so feel free to message me!
(However, I should add that my attention span and willingness to share my thoughts with others is a fickle thing so if I don’t respond to you please don’t take it personally. Interacting with people in any sort of capacity drains my social battery.)
Probably should’ve posted this sooner but this is my sideblog. Here’s a link to my main: TheJezHangout
(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.
