This panel still haunts me btw. The hopeful look he had before it transitions over to resignation, the ELIPSIS, he's waiting and waiting and yet nothing comes and he's disapointed but he expects it...he wants to prove himself wrong so bad head in hands
@fukuuen
I can't help but think Douma's was thought last minute cuz Akaza appeared early in the manga (so I js assume Gotouge alrdy thought of a backstory for him) and Kokushibo's backstory was long bc it has to connect w Yoriichi's
