Juji Kabane - Blog Posts

Happy Holidays Gungrave fans!

Have a Bunji!

I drew this one to parallel Juji!

I love how messy this looks. Very loose!

I feel art block creeping up my back aaa

Finally got these fuckers done yeah!!! It’s been a while since I put any effort into really drawing, especially for characters that I love. Because of Nightow’s character designs already being so shaped for me I decided to simplify their designs even more. This is also the first time I experimented with line weight and I only screwed up a few times :)

Here are the original sketches for funsies!

(I tried to simplify the designs as much as possible. I started drawing Bunji but I haven’t finished yet.)

This came randomly

Ideas that I want to discuss on this blog

This isn’t in any order or anything this is just a bunch of thoughts I’ve wanted to talk about regarding this lovely series.

Trigun/Gungrave narrative & themes comparison: On a scale of "love and peace" to "kick their ass"

Brandon Heat is a combination of both Vash and Wolfwood

Is Bunji Kugashira similar to Nicholas D. Wolfwood in certain aspects besides appearance?

Vash & Knives vs. Brandon & Harry: Expectations of trust/loyalty

Bunji Kugashira's hangups about brothers (first Juji then Brandon?)

What's the history between the Kugashira brothers?

How canon is the Gungrave anime to the first Gungrave video game? Was Overdose supposed to bridge the two (appearance of Sherry???)

Why isn't there more Gungrave/Trigun crossover content?

Tsuneo Imahori is so good at music dude: How the Gungrave soundtracks create another layer of atmosphere & emotion

What the fuck was up with Gungrave VR & Gungrave G.O.R.E.?

How and why is Rocketbilly Redcadillac?

I want to see more hijinks with Juji and RB, they are sooooo

Why is Juji not in G.O.R.E.? (Sad but probably not canon idea that he was eventually overcome by the SEED in him)

What it's like to be a deadman aka why don't we let the Gungrave cast experience body horror too

Madhouse wanted the Gungrave anime to be a spiritual successor of the 1998 Trigun anime

Will there ever be another entry in the franchise after G.O.R.E.?

Trigun and Gungrave say aliens are real folks (maybe canon maybe not)

Beyond the Grave & Vincent Valentine: Two ultra sad goth bois that just want to take a nap in their coffins

Feel free to make your own post for any of these ideas or something. As I said before my activity on this blog is going to be pretty inconsistent so don’t expect anything from me anytime soon. Then again just last night I started writing a short little Juji story but I don’t know when I’m gonna finish it. I also plan to do fanart but motivation to draw has honestly become more evasive than wanting to write. If you have any questions or suggestions I’d love to read them in the comments or tags at least. See you guys later!

Gungrave fans are you out there

I'VE FOUND AN OLD JUJI SKETCH IN MY CAMERA 🔥🔥🔥

(People post their school doodles and sketches right?)

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:

(This is so badly edited 😭)

Gungrave doodles!

It’s kind of an AU timeline after overdose but before GORE, basically.

This is random, but I thought Juji in Overdose had metal rods for weapons. I didn’t realize he actually held two twin guns….

I guess next time I’ll draw I’ll make Juji hold metal rods. 😂

I know I just rewatched Overdose’s cutscenes and I was like “Oh yeah! Lol”

Yall forgetting that they have “super forms” in overdose

Basically graveyard

Gungrave brain rot…..that’s all I’ll say. 😂
