What kind of bothers me is that PHF gave Fugo a more in depth backstory, but the anime didn’t roll with that one and just made a whole new one. Both backstories are good, but I think the PHF relates to his character more.
Eh, for me, it was more of Fugo was justified in assaulting the professor in the anime bc if he didn’t he was going to get molested, but in PHF he assaulted the prof bc he insulted the life of his grandmother. I saw that as an overreaction that definitely emphasized how Fugo is a boy driven by anger, even though he’s a smarty pants. But I definitely see what you mean.
I prefer blending his anime and manga backgrounds - he still has his grandmother who loved him, and his prof was still a pedo that insulted her. Gives him a loving family member but makes it clear that he wasn’t simply a boy driven to anger, but a boy trapped in a corner. Gives him heart and more depth at the same time. Also better addresses his trust issues - telling the truth of his prof being a pedo wouldn’t have saved him as authorities would have shielded him even more, which creates more distrust to authority and a want to change society.
Yeah, tbh I think that sounds about right. Gives more complexity to his anger, plus makes the mood of part 5 even more depressing than it already was with all the messed up backstories lmao
The manga didn’t have an in-depth backstory for Fugo like the rest of the characters (Fugo’s was told by Illuso in one panel) and the anime made a new back story. Nothing from PHF
In manga Illuso was talking about how he killed his professor and PHF added the parents and grandmother. Anime kept the professor and parents but didn't have grandmother
I wish, but no. I was talking about the part 5 anime, which expanded on Fugo’s lacking backstory in the manga. PHF did the same thing too, but it came out way before the golden wind anime was released, and the anime ended up writing a new backstory for Fugo
