Thank you, Person 5 Strikers, for this non-sucking adult

Oh my!  What a look Mr. Hasegawa.

Person 5 Strikers it’s been just over a week since I’ve been out, so I feel very comfortable saying this:

Thank God for the wolf!

Wolf (born Zenkichi Hasegawa) is the newest and only adult member of the ghost thieves. There are adults who help ghost thieves and keep their secret, but fine Vagants, there has never been an adult user.

And I appreciate it. A lot.

I worried about him when he started coming for the ghost thieves. Although there are good cultured people like Sojiro, owner of Cafe Leblanc or Dr. Takemi, adults have always been villains person may series. So when a new one, a cop no more and no less, started hanging himself Vagants, I thought I would have problems. Great, with another character that only writers can turn into evil. This is Dr. Maruki again.

He’s right, of course, but it’s fun to come from the mega-rich privileged child.

However, despite a couple of scenes where it seemed painfully clear that Mr. Hasegawa was playing the Vagants aside for his own benefit, it turned out to be one of the good ones. Aided by the spectacular talents of Tom Taylorson’s voice, Mr. Hasegawa has a puzzling headthe arm around him. It’s not too serious like most adult allies of thieves. When he interacts with his young fellow criminals, he calmly takes his jokes about his age or insensitivity. Finally, a personal user for the elderly!

He person may The series features the ultimate fantasy of power: What better life could you have if shitty people just realized it was shit and stopped? In person may i Real, this conflict was depicted as adults versus children. Adults have carte blanche to be shit and the only people who notice or worry are helpless teenagers. That’s why ghost thieves rightly distrust them: adults are the ones who supposedly have the power to bring justice to their asses, but they don’t. When Kamoshida abused children person may, none of the administrators intervened, not even in the face of overwhelming evidence. He calcified this idea that adults are clueless or complicit.

Hasegawa introduces some much-needed grays to the black-and-white notions of justice of ghost thieves.

But Wolf’s presence on the team adds nuances. It helps ghost thieves understand that even all powerful and complete adults can suffer under the yoke of oppression and manipulation, and that it is better to work together than to fight. When his own daughter turns against him for not arresting her mother’s killer, Hasegawa reveals that he compromised her sense of justice to keep her safe. Then, after waking up from his personality working closely with the Phantom Thieves, he can finally bring to justice his wife’s killer, who is also responsible for all the changes of spirit. The collaboration between adults and children saved the day.

In addition, the man makes the wolf look good when he fights.

The rise of cowboys? Slinging these guns? Spin this huge fucking sword? By saying “Wolf” ?? Wow! He is hot, not in this kind of attractive way, but that single father, crumpled in bed, with a charming and dirty way. And he has it massive DBE: the energy of the father. Hasegawa is basically a Japanese version of Jim Hopper Stranger things. And thank you Ten he’s grown up, so it doesn’t hurt to say Wolf is hot. Thanks Vagants, to finally leave me wanting free from guilt.
