i have more things to say about gunichi and his first meeting with usagi, i just don’t have the energy to doublecheck the appropriate screencaps.
#usagi yojimbo#because like!! his introduction IS threatening! but!!#he gives usagi the CHOICE to use bokken for this duel. and usagi CHOOSES NOT TO.#he is a TEENAGER and RASH and HOTHEADED and he want to see if he is ‘WORTHY’ of the blades he already WON in that TOURNAMENT#as for why gunichi hunted down this upstart. in Addition to what he claims i think there are court politics at play#here#if i remember correctly. it is Other People who are saying that usagi’s skills may rival gunichis own.#rumors he’s trying to deal with. either by allying with this upstart or treating him like a proper rival (a respectable duel to the death)#pizzazz post#gunichi offered usagi the option of using bokken because he wasn’t interested in just testing usagi’s skills#he was trying to measure his character. which gunichi gets a feel for when they’re suddenly fighting together on the same side#usagi kills people for the first time and admits he didn’t think there would be This Much Blood. and gunichi laughs + offers to support him#i used to think gunichi was afraid to duel him after this. because i love usagi and believe in his skills.#but nowadays i think gunichi just didn’t want to kill him. because he WAS the more experienced dueler at this point. by a lot.#i can’t stop thinking about how years later usagi tries to convince nakamura (?) not to duel katsuichi to the death. about how this duel—#is pointless. and how nakamura tells usagi that he is not a true samurai#for feeling the way that he does#anyway gunichi is So fucking interesting and i never stop thinking about him
