I know the old man is supposed to be cool but he just comes off as one of the most childish and psychotic characters in this manga. Damn near kills everyone who makes a joke at his expense.
@Betony Crazier than the nymphomaniac judoka, cross-dressing cannibal, brain-damaged military, killer fetishist, and the plethora of other refreshing personages that fuels this story?
I disagree with you until now the only people i saw he kill were bandits, pretense yakuza, and some soldiers, i don't think he is petty enough or cares for the opinions of those grunts enough to kill them because of some insult, he did it as a showing of strength nothing more nothing less, however... you are right too, he IS crazy but seriously who in this godforsaken story isnt?
@manganights Actually, they did sort of explain it. When Sugimoto accused him of just deluding himself, they zoomed in on Ienaga's face and it looked there was some makup crumbling off, revealing wrinkles underneath, implying that Sugimoto was right. (Chapter 53, Pages 8/9)
We really gonna have the first and only trans character in the series be a creepy ass murderer and also have them get constantly misgendered, kinda fucked if you ask me.
