The main character, Araji Tomobishi, is just a normal high school student. He meets his tough old friend, Mataka Asamine, who leads a gang called Bucchigiri.
Asamine asks Tomobishi to join the gang and help fight against other gangs in the city. But Tomobishi soon finds out it’s tougher than he thought. They fight against strong enemies and a mysterious danger that hangs over them all.
This anime definitely has a lot in common with Tokyo Revengers. They both dive deep into themes of friendship, rivalry, and redemption, with a protagonist who begins as a timid underdog but transforms into a formidable force by tackling tough challenges and risks.
Recap
Bucchigiri?! Episode 7 was called Group Date The Sea, Maji Croquette, and it was a bit of a calmer episode, taking a break from the usual intense fights of the anime.
The episode started with Arajin getting praised for his punch, then quickly running away from Matakara. As they walked towards the nurse’s office to find Marito, Arajin and Matakara talked about Matakara’s brother.
When they got there, Mahoro showed she didn’t like Arajin much, and surprisingly, Marito ate Mahoro’s cooking even though he usually doesn’t like it.
Next, they plan a group date, which turns out quite differently from what Arajin had in mind. Instead, they find themselves at a wrestling tournament.
In the tournament, Matakara and Marito make it to the finals. Marito comes really close to winning, but in the end, Arajin’s funny behavior messes things up, and Matakara and Arajin end up winning the tournament. Meanwhile, Ichiya watches Arajin and Senya as the Emperor.
Expectation
After the quick filler episode we had last week, Bucchigiri episode 8 is almost here, and fans are eagerly waiting for more tough guy fights and action. In the next Bucchigiri episode 8, fans can look forward to seeing more of how the characters interact and some really intense fights between the gangs.
After the wrestling tournament, things might get pretty tense because of Marito’s defeat and Arajin’s mischief. Arajin and Matakara might become better friends as they keep fighting together. We might also learn more about Matakara’s brother.
The gang will deal with surprises, and we’ll see more of Ichiya’s friendship with Senya, which tells us more about them. Bucchigiri episode 8, known for being funny and action-packed, is coming soon for fans to enjoy another exciting episode.
