Bunch 25th Anniversary Commemorative Special PV: The Way of the Househusband
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Once known as the 'Immortal Dragon', the most feared yakuza boss in the game, the kind of guy that made entire criminal organizations nervous, Tatsu is now at the grocery store, comparing detergent brands with the same deadly focus he once used to run a crime empire. That's the whole joke, and it works every single time. This special PV was made to celebrate both the release of volume 17 of the Gokushufudou manga and the 25th anniversary of Bunch magazine, so it's a treat for fans who've been following Tatsu's domestic adventures. The real draw here is that it animates scenes from Tatsu's past that never appeared in the original manga, a rare look at who he was before he traded intimidation tactics for meal prep. If you've seen Hinamatsuri and enjoyed watching hardened criminals completely out of their element in ordinary life, this hits the same note. It has a similar energy to Sakamoto desu ga? too, where an absurdly competent person handles mundane situations with an almost unsettling level of dedication. The animation style leans into the manga's paneling, which gives it a distinct look that feels faithful to the source. It's one episode, it's comedic, and it's specifically for people who already have a soft spot for Tatsu and want just a little more of him.
