I'm not 100% sure but I think it was mentioned that red furred akitas are hot heads. excuse me, but I didn't feel that with Riki. Adult Riki was loyal and determined but he was rather calm and analytic instead of charging stupidly into everything. Pup Riki was kind. He was also determined and wanted to prove himself but he also wanted to help others. He cared about his owners and his familly, he was never a rude and selfish brat like Orion.
?????

Riki was never a hot head what the actual fuck Yoshi

Why are all his red descendants constantly being compared to him even though they're nothing like him?

Is it just because they're red :OUT:

Yukimura was never compared to Riki. Though imho it would've actually made more sense than the "Orion = Riki" thing because Yukimura at least had Riki's charisma in addition to his strength.

Also I can't recall it ever being said that red Akitas are the most hot-headed ones.

I said I'm not sure but I think somethink like that was mentioned somewhere. I also found old interviews where Yoshihiro himself said he wanted Orion to be a spitting image of Riki. Yet Riki was never portrayed as "rascal" as he himself described Orion.

Gingastar wrote: Mon Feb 18, 2019 8:43 am I think it would have been interesting if maybe the characters in the story (instead of just the narrator) compared Orion to Riki, and from there we got development about Orion himself feeling like he was in Riki’s shadow (or in turn, tried too hard to be like him) and not wanting to be compared to anyone, but simply wanted to be himself (whether or not “himself” is a good guy or not).

We have Orion compared to Riki shoved down our throats and it feels so weird to see that be said but... just have it be so untrue? Like something more should have been done with such a claim.

The characters have been comparing him, too. Gin, Unsai, Kurotora (I think?) are the ones that come to mind now. Might be more, idk

I remember that Takahashi once compared Riki, Yukimura and Orion and said that they have similar nature and Takahashi might have also said that red furred akitas are more likely to die in battle. This was when he said that he was considering to kill Orion during GDWO. (I have read this interview like 10 years ago so I'm not 100% sure.) At that time GDWO hadn't been fully published or translated in any way so it started lot of rumors.

All comparisons between Riki and Orion made by the characters really compare just their appearance, which is true - they are both red akitas. When Orion was born he was being compared (jokingly) to Sasuke first
Personality-wise all comparisons between the two are pointed out by the narrator as far as I can remember.

I can name one scene where he's compared by looks as well. In volume 1 or 2 of GDWO, where the elder of that little dog group in the beginning, had flashbacks to Riki when he saw Orion

What do you think about the cover? Any ideas? I hope it's a sight over the Ohu with Sirius and Monsoon together in the sky. It could be pretty cool! OvO

I imagine the spine would either be Sirius or Orion and the back might have Sirius and Monsoon on it.

I already got volume 21, ust haven't had the time to scan it. I've been soooo tired lately. The winter has been getting to me, but it seems the weather is getting lighter and warmer by now, so I should be on the recovering end. I may start scanning this week

On a more news-ish note, vol 22 cover’s up:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/銀牙-LAST-WARS-2 ... 453713898X

Not quite as spectacular as I had hoped, personally, but it’s understandable since Yoshi’s been on a bit of a hiatus. Although I have to wonder... is Sirius’s image with his back to the front supposed to be a implication of him still being all like “suck my ass, I was right and y’all knew it” even at/after his death? XD
