I made this a long time ago for a video intro just for funzies.

If there's one thing that will ever stop me from making fully edited fancy visuals time-consuming videos, its having everything be struck down mere days after publishing. I spend too much time on these, to still hear the same false claim about "its not fair use"

One of the most doomposted things about Kagurabachi & The Seitei War is that we'd never get the Mikaboshi POV and that they'd stay some alienated, propagated entity that you can blindly hate without understanding. Yet I see no one apologizing for being a little doubter-digglydoo

The retainers cover their eyes as if to 'hide' the fact that they're not pure. This is to say: The unspoken words of this revelation is that you have no identity - as a warrior, a disposable. You "gain the right" to show off your selfhood if you're born correctly.

Fun fact: This is actually my birthday chapter. Well, Tuesday, but as close as it gets. For reference, my prior birthday chapters have been: Ch. 7: The GOAT Azami Ch. 55: Masumi intro Ch. 99: Yura & Yukisada greatness Ch. 136 - The Mikaboshi. I'd say I'm pretty lucky.

They re-wrote the history in a similar way that the Soga did. Distancing from Japanese culture, adopting non-Japanese naming convention, and even finding different ways to dress. Yet of course: They still speak Japanese. They have to. It's the only language they know. I love it.

It's a kind of ethnocentrism: a polar opposite of Shurin. While he hates himself (for being Japanese), Yukifu glorifies the Mikaboshi BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT. Of course, the ultimate irony comes from when you remember that the Mikaboshi were (and still are) of Japanese origin.

The difference in manneurism, saying the exact same thing. You can tell who takes the RELIGIOUS aspect more seriously, and who more so sees the UTILITY side of it.

It's one thing to tackle ideas that are less talked about in a mainstream sense, and another to do so in the most popular manga magazine out there. His character is basically internalized racism, his development can very quickly become one for the HISTORY BOOKS.

There are (only) 91 characters tagged in all of anime with the 'albino' tag and over half of those are "generic white hair & pale skin, therefore must be albino" when they're basically vampires I don't think you know just how rare albino manga characters are. This is incredible
