What if GB did not die near the end of GDW and lived on instead from GDWO through GDN?I think GB would have continued to be the funny and lovable English Setter and made an impact/difference in GDWO, TLW, and GDN. He would have witnessed the birth of Weed and Koyuki’s children as well as Jerome and Lydia’s children.
In GDWO, I bet he would have been Orion’s trustworthy companion on the pup’s adventures and definitely could have been a great guardian to him and the other siblings.
In TLW, he might have solved the conflict between Orion and Sirius and tried to convince them a better way. GB would have taught them that one way is not always the right way. He could have taught them about the importance of combining light and dark sides.
I don’t know what impact GB could have made in GDN, but I can bet that we would have the classic comical buddy pair of GB and Sasuke instead of seeing that damn Jyoushiro existing!
GB certainly would have made a large impact/difference if he were alive beyond GDW. It’s horrible that he isn’t alive anymore, which really has effected the comedy monumental of the Ginga series. Ginga has not been the same without GB. I have him on my Top Ten Saddest Deaths. No one can ever replace him in comedy segments.
