What was a week hiatus turned into two weeks, and I guess I'm sort of sorry about that, but you know how I am. #Sakakgiaiden

Time to do a thing when I feel like doing a thing rather than waiting and hoping I feel like doing a thing later. #Sakakigaidenpic.twitter.com/bb6fPY1lu2

Anyway we're rounding the corner of the finale of Bakugaiden, so lets keep our course steady.

So one thing about this ep before I start...it has this weird I'm not sure what it is...digital filter or something?

Like, it makes the show look simultaneously newer and more washed out, and there's nothing in the credits that--

indicates something changed, and then episode 40 goes back to looking the same as usual. Just wanted to note that.

Like, see, is it just me or are the colors a little more vibrant now?

Eh, whatever. On to the interesting stuff. As you can see, the kids have come to the park to hang out --

And they manage to find a takoyaki stand! When they head over to check it out, guess who's working there?

That's my man, always looking for a chance to make quick buck which should be obvious, lol.

Still he takes a pot shot at Shiro when he asks why Kiiro's there.

K: Like what the hell does it look like I'm doing?! S: A few things, none of which answer my question.

Here's the whole scene animated. Kiiro's like I'm not selling dreams, but food, dammit!

The sight gag work is at it's strongest in Bakugaiden 39. Look how the others are litterally crushed by Kiiro's words.

K: So go away. You guys are the opposite of benjamins, you're Scott Brokeington. S: But we want to buy.... K: ...Hi!

But yeah, there's a tournament arc type thing going on soon and people are practicing their kamehame stuff to participate.

So Shiro decides that he'll participate. After all it could help with their own fight against evil! Everyone's down but...

Shi: So you wanna pointlessly train with us? K: Selfawareness of how bad a joke is doesn't make it funnier! S: Sez you.

So Kiiro's not gonna train with them because he's a busy dude. The kids leave and come back in the morning....

I will say this for whatever they did on this episode, it makes the BG work look really good for a show it's age.

Have it animated if that's your thing. Nagamori's preference for long stretches of BG while running is used horizontally here.

It's usually more slanted, to give a more dynamic feel, but used in this establishing scene, it comes off organic.
#SakakigaidenShow this thread -
Love the angled shots here! Anyway, the kids arrive to find someone else there, and it's...Kiiro?!

Overraction is the best reaction. It's great they act as if they're just meeting K again after a long training arc....

But rather than Kiiro they run into the reason why drugs are bad, mmmmkay?

But rather than Jojo, it's YYH, as Kiiro hasn't developed a stand, but has become possessed by a ghost.
