Grass

The coolness of the spiky silhouette here and the shadows cast over the eyes.

>>7

It was a trend among delinquents from the Taisho to the Showa era to ruin their school caps and harden them with cream.

>>60

It’s like a tattered pair of jeans.

Wasn’t there something like that with bags too?

>>90

It was a trend to deliberately make school bags ragged and hide metal plates in them for fighting.

>>7

If anything, he’s the original model for Jotaro.

>>8

Rather than lackeys, they are just two ordinary older punks.

Are you the painter?

A scene after I fought off two thugs attacking me with knives, trying to cut off my arm, by smashing them with my geta.

I only know characters that fight in geta and GeGeGe no Kitaro.

>>12

I have a memory of seeing it in places like Otokojuku and KochiKame.

>>12

Effort Man!

The battlegrounds I’ve been through are different!

Jikobō and so on…

It’s too strong to take down two punks with knives.

>>18

It’s rare to find someone who survived the war and doesn’t carry a sad past.

I’ve actually gone up against real yakuza…

At this point, it’s just a low-level punk…

I was wondering if Gen doesn’t have a power upgrade since Ryuuta has a pistol? But fighting with geta is cool, right?

There are a lot of jump characters fighting in geta.

Inaka-ppe Taishou

If Gen said that, there’s no way I could argue back…

It’s not geta, but Ryotsu was also fighting in sandals.

After the atomic bomb, it’s a post-apocalypse.

>>28

The original story of a post-apocalyptic world like Mad Max or Fallout may be Barefoot Gen.

Even a protagonist with a sad past in a jump manga is top class.

The strength of that golden-toothed old man, who can beat up both Gen and Ryuta, is something else!

>>30

Despite being a typical wealthy and arrogant character, their physical strength is unusual.

A sad past… or rather, about 80% of the main story is a sad present…

>>33

I can only feel sadness that Tomoko won’t drink milk anymore…

Here, Gen is definitely a complete victim.

After this, I’ll just say that you’re so pathetic that I can’t even get angry! And then I’ll just hit you normally.

Slightly unreasonable and interesting.

There are a lot of people whose entire family has died, so Gen, with two older brothers still alive, is quite fortunate.

>>35

Let’s put aside the older brothers who aren’t very reliable.

It’s really sad that Tomoko’s mother has also passed away.

>>36

Every time I see this sugar cube being stronger than the American soldiers, it makes me chuckle.

>>36

Katsumi Shiraishi can shoot down a B29 with a home run.

>>36

No matter when I see it, I laugh at the pickled garlic.

Since almost all the characters bear sadness, having a terrible past is no excuse.

Barefoot Gen has battle elements while also featuring friendship, making it a proper Jump manga.

When I was a kid, I used to call the character in the picture “Super Gen” on my own.

The terrifying aspect of a true story is that even a newborn sister, who would likely survive in a typical manga, mercilessly dies.

The person whom Gen slapped while crying usually revives no matter what despair they are in.

It feels like it will be a conclusion until Tomoko dies.

From there, it enters a period of various stability.

>>45

Mom might also die.

There are no bones…

It’s pretty tough that half of my six siblings have died…

In the world of Gen, there is still some hope for salvation.

They’re mostly people who die in even worse ways.

>>47

My classmate, who was good at baseball, probably died young just like that…

It’s a hell that feels better than slowly dying from radiation sickness…

Kuso Mori and I share a bond because we experienced pain together at the Atomic Bomb Dome.

The initial gold target has a different experience level in fights.

I’ve been dealing with yakuza and American soldiers since I was in elementary school, so why should I be scared of some punks now?

>>56

Were you fighting with the American soldiers?

>>62

I was probably just sabotaging cars and motorcycles…

>>68

The only other thing is that I got captured and beaten up.

>>62

I got caught by Mike Hirota, but I pretended to be crazy and was released.

It’s sad for the lady who was right in front of Gen when the bomb was dropped.

Hiroponmusubi isn’t strong at all, right?

The painter who was made to do this also became an atomic bomb orphan, unable to commit bad deeds and unable to fit into the orphan community. I thought they were taken in by a temple, only to be made to work like a draft horse by the monk and tortured; they have a terrible past, but it’s better than just being alive.

It’s been a while since I’ve had barley.

If you say to Gen, “You’re a dirty rat,” be prepared to get beaten up.

Is it only when American soldiers steal rubber?

Also, around the time I was about to be set up as a spy.

Wasn’t this scene the one where Gen was about to be seriously killed but managed to escape afterward?

>>70

After beating up two thugs with knives.

>>75

Gen is amazing!

It only looks like a Tier created by air players at the point of Hiropon Musubi S and pistol Ryuta B.

Was it the one who was painting the signboard?

Despite being a named character, Pistol Ryuta has a top-class kill score.

Pisu Takakinue is complaining again…

If you spread a rumor that Hiropon is loaded onto a B29 with Hiropon Musubi, it seems like they would shoot it down.

I won’t kill a woman, but I’m too determined to shoot in the palm of my hand.

Can Katsumi Shiraishi defeat an American soldier?

Shiraishi, who was very active in Hiroshima, has a high evaluation, but Kozuru may not be as highly rated compared to the pre-season expectations, so perhaps that’s why he’s outside the frame.

>>85

In the first place, Shiraishi and Kozuru shouldn’t be in Hadashi no Gen.

The old man with the gold tooth was dominating after this scene, which made it even more shocking.

They say it’s called “Babil II,” but this one looks more like it.

The author often refers to the original source of the lies.

I can understand considering Gen’s mother, who is holding a knife, as a combatant, but what about Tomoko and Mitsuko being above that?

Tears are a woman’s weapon, so Tomoko is strong.

With Ryuta’s aim sense, you don’t need a stand, right?

>>96

Necessary for loading bullets

>>96

Mister is a genius eccentric who calmly reloads and scores clean hits even while being shot at by gang members.

I was wondering what this spiky academic cap was about with Jotaro… but was it actually a trend back then?

The author of Gen reads JoJo too, huh…

Bunkara can be seen as a kind of ancestor of delinquents that emerged as the opposite of haikara.

I lost everything due to being caught in the atomic bomb, but I desperately lived on, finally found my dream, and kept pushing forward!

Some clumsy senior hired a thug and tried to cut off my arm.

I turned the tables on him.

Furious

>>101

It’s really a terrible time when even the clumsy seniors can be said to be in the same situation.

Speaking of which, I haven’t read Barefoot Gen and I didn’t know about it.

Isn’t it pure hell that a typhoon came within a month of the atomic bomb being dropped?

>>103

Mr. Hojo from Kure came over late, and we all laughed about it, so it’s all good, it’s all good!

…That’s a scene where a landslide is happening behind the house…

>>103

Although it’s hell, there were also considerable side effects where various things were washed away.

>>103

By the way, there was a typhoon scene in “In This Corner of the World.”

This is a gun that Ame-chan is easily spreading around for drinking money.

I’ve always remembered Ryuta’s lines.

80% of the reason I find Hiroshima dialect terrifying is because of manga.

Due to the typhoon, the people who came to investigate the atomic bomb damage are dying left and right, so it’s basically hell.

If everyone carries the same past, then it’s equal.

What’s important is how you survived from there.

It’s just too interesting as a manga, simply put.

>>111

I think a big part of why simple and entertaining manga is often read by elementary school students in school libraries is because of that.

First of all, the fact that all the characters have war experience puts it at a level that modern stage works cannot keep up with.

From there, among those returning from Manchuria and the South, there are differences even among those who were directly hit by the atomic bomb and the war veterans.

As a result, even the latest work expresses strength in such a way.

Ossu

Maize

SaaS

>>114

Looking back, this is kind of erotic.

Isn’t the dragon of Maito the one that got taken down in one hit by an acorn disguised as a shoe shiner?

Aren’t all the guys who couldn’t be killed by Pika better than Pika?

“The line about distributing death so that everyone can die equally is something that really stuck with me.”

I want to use it someday.

A race to climb the Atomic Bomb Dome is not sane.

All-gold-toothed, sunglasses-wearing nouveau riche Yuuzou Kuramoto once was in Manchuria.

The demon sergeant, who cut down enemy soldiers relentlessly, was too much for even Gen to handle.

>>122

Even Gen, who can probably take on a thug, can’t win against a former soldier returning from the battlefield; that’s quite realistic, isn’t it?

Moreover, if you came back alive from a war in that era, then you must be really strong…

Gen is alive because Koji and Akira are alive.

Having blood relatives means you’re better off than those in the orphan group.

>>124

There are even relatives who became disabled due to the war.

There are almost no manga artists who fought against American soldiers.

>>126

I only know the author of Holy Land.

>>126

For example, Shigeru Mizuki, who slacked off on watch duty and caused the entire unit to be wiped out…

>>129

What’s amazing is that they’re actually using it as inspiration for their own manga.

Locally, they called it “Hada Gen,” but I wonder if there’s a regional difference.

MacArthur’s stand “Little Boy” causes a nuclear explosion.

It’s terrifying…

I do dirty tricks to survive, but at my core, I have courage, love, and goodness, so it works even in the Joestar family.

Not really barefoot.

Mitsuko, that illustration is so cute!

“I was singing ‘Dad and Mom, Hungry Hungry in Pikaton’ with my friends in the classroom.”

I remembered being scolded terribly when I was asked by the teacher.

I think Hunger will fall somewhere between the strength ranking of Mugi and Pika.

Even with only 30 to 40 percent of the explosion, the effects of the atomic bomb were hellish, so nuclear weapons are terrifying.

I like forming a bond with the shit forest.

I wonder if Kuso Mori was able to become a fine adult…

I read the plot of the second part, but I wonder if a sequel will come out.

There is an anti-war aspect, but the main focus is on entertainment that depicts a robust way of life, like wheat, surviving through the hell of the post-war period.

Gigi gigi gigi gigi

Gen also had a habit of saying, “Good grief…”

The impact of Mr. Masaji’s compilation was amazing.

The strength of Gen when being torn apart with a knife and clothing is incredible.

And it’s cool.
