I guess Hifumi is the name of the crime syndicate whose boss owned the crocodile, with the "kai" at the end basically being a suffix that means "group" or something like that. In volume 53, the owner of the crocodile is identified as "leader of the widespread crime syndicate Hifumi" (広域暴力団 日文会会長).

Thank you! What does it says in Finnish, btw?
They don't even give the group a name. It just says "a criminal organization"...

What is this Weed plushie?

(pic taken from this Mercari lot)

It was apparently a prize for some sort of raffle, with 500 being given out in total, but I've never seen this particular plush (apparently called "Weed deluxe plushie") show up anywhere else. Is it some super-obscure Weed plush or is the plush in the image just an early version/prototype of the promo Weed since it looks kind of similar?

I've never seen this guy before either :THOT: then again I'm not too into collecting things, so I have no idea where he came from. :rigel4: He is quite cute though!

A very cool what if question.
What if Benizakura survived and somehow managed to stay alive till P4 attack? I know he was 10 years old in GNG but Moss was too.

I think it depends a bit how well he would have aged. I don't think he would have been as strong at that point because his age but still capable to fight :tfw_aokabuto1:

Who knows? Benizakura was called the strongest male on earth. His strength even exceeded Moss's. And Moss was pretty good in the battle vs Hougen's army.

When exactly did Gin and Akame find out about John's death? Was there ever a scene of them actually being told? I don't remember.

No, there is no such scene. I suppose Gin heard about it very soon afterwards (Hougen would have presumably told him just to torment him some more) while Akame could have heard about it either while eavesdropping on Hougen sometime after he arrived in Ohu or after he reunited with Weed's group, but that's just my guess.

I think Gin might have guessed it when Smith's and John's spirits came to support him to escape if I remember correctly from the manga. I'm not sure about Akame but they probably told him but we just didn't get to see it

Gin knew or at least assumed that John was already dead by that point, since his response to John and Smith "visiting" him is a surprised "John and Smith! You're alive...?!". No idea how he knew/assumed Smith was dead, though.

Maybe Gin didn't know Smith survived being hit by the car that made him lose his leg?? Although idk how he would've heard about that either

Where can I find the instrumental version of GDW soundtrack " The Brave and The Fearless" which plays when Smith jumps off the cliff in episode 4.

A question for Norwegian people!

Did the DVD get released there or just in Denmark that also had Norwegian subtitles as well?

If in Norwegian, what was the name? Was it "Weed - Silver Fangs sønn" as the Danish one? (sorry for mixing up spelling of Norwegian and Danish...)
Wait for me; Terrex, Baghéera, Nokorde, Smulan, when its my time I come
