Its interesting how Sanosuke is a character that was written to be "masculine" yet he is identical with "feminime" related color or stuff.
Like his initial color is red but its often to be drawn as pink, the food associate with him in merch usually is strawberry, and he seems canonly didn't mind wearing "feminime" related stuff too?
I love that his masculinity is not fragile and showing how nothing make him less as a man since color or stuff didn't supposed to have any gender ( 〃▽〃)
