Hey you like Aguefort? I gotchu an Aguefort so you can Aguefort while you Aguefort

This one was a WILD ride XD Such a good time to work on, but EACH AGUEFORT IS AN INDIVIDUAL LAYER. Shout out to Derek and Ruby for animating all of these very silly principals ♥

predators are more conflict-averse than prey - a herbivore can get into a territorial dispute, get gored by a horn, and spend the next while weakened but still easily able to regain its strength from grass and tubers or whatever. a hunter that gets scratched by prey it still manages to kill might not be able to get a kill afterwards, and slowly starve. an ambush predator will back down if you stare at it, but a plant-eater will try to kick you to death.

I love this scene!

I love how Reigen is clearly being all big-brotherly behind the scenes, mentoring Mob on how to be a good guy. And I love how Tsuchiya is presented, as a woman, as a worthy match for the male protagonist and strong enough to want a fair fight with him.

I’m really in love with this series!

Bonus:

The actual quote from the manga is even better:  “…you’re a gentleman, but that’s an insult. I am looking for a fair fight with you. Besides, I’m the adult here beating down on a kid. SO we’re even. There’s no way I’d lose anyway. Just give it your best shot.”

She’s being all big-sisterly to her opponent while at the same time telling him she’s a badass, so don’t underestimate her because she’s also a lady. Love. It.
