When I first saw Riki's story in GNG, I almost began to think it was a tale about the cautions of revenge.
Think about it, Riki only remembers the rage he feels towards bears and starts killing them that he never goes back to his owner. Come to the end, Riki does remember that he has something else in his life (his son) but is killed by the very thing he set out to destroy.
So what do you think? Could part of Riki's story be warning about taking revenge?

Riki's revenge
I did a Ginga dog horoscope and according my calculations, I am most like Gin! Am I lucky?
I took one of those 'Which character are you?' tests, one which happened to be Ginga related and it said I would
be most like Tesshin! I feel quite honoured!

Re: Riki's revenge
I don't find it that way, since killing the bears would keep his close ones safe. I think it's about sacrificing yourself for the other

Re: Riki's revenge
I like both of your messages for it! I think Nuulo's might be what the story was going for, but you could still also say revenge did inevitably take him out as well.
Another message that Ginga said very early in its story I believe is to never approach a bear unless you know for sure it's dead. Gohei and Riki, both hunting vets, forgot this rule and celebrated too early, causing Riki's death and Gohei to get injured as well again I think. Not a deep message, but definitely a cool callback.
