What kind of hat fits sakuma?

i actually once drew him in a baseball cap before during my webfishing hyperfixation phase (full post) so it's the first thing that came up in my mind.

there's also this art used in natsu bomber of penguin trio and megane as cowboys and i think sakuma is rocking his cowboy hat so much. i always get excited whenever i see fanart of him.

sorry for answering late i had been saving this ask so i can draw my thoughts but i never have the time to ^______T i also think he'd look very cute in newsboy cap too ahahah. thank you for asking!!

fandom joke post rating: NOT FUNNY. while mischaracterization for the sake of humor can occasionally be funny, this particular post betrays a misunderstanding of the character so fundamental that the joke itself does not land.

my 2025 resolution is to draw sakuma as cutieful as possible

EDIT: added alt text!

i'm rewatching to look for analysis material and fuuuccckkk what do you mean kidou has another realization by remembering sakuma's (and endou's) words. fuck my stupid chungus kisaku life?

Kidou and endou should have a together moment over being a wifeguy for their partner (sakuma and natsumi respectively)

Shin Teikoku Sakuma piece from 2024 when I was trying to analyze Sakuma's feelings in the arc (I keep forgetting to repost it outside twitter, oops)

Explanation under read more

The idea for the piece is to convey what Sakuma actually felt in the arc. What the aliea meteorite did was amplifying his negative emotions and converting them to hunger for power. Like how Kazemaru originally only started seeking power in a bout of deteorirating mental health; Sakuma (and Genda) only seeked the meteorite because he felt that Kidou abandoned him / them because they weren't good enough. So the idea here is to convey sorrow.

Unfortunately I'm very bad at writing analysis post in Tumblr's blogpost format as I'm very used to Twitter and Bluesky's thread style of writing; so I perhaps will revisit and rewrite this explanation.

Sakuma with covered eyepatch

Based on this frame from the end of episode 38, after he came to his senses:

The windows

Sakuma is wearing the same patient outfit as he did in episode 37's flashback

The sequence of closing the curtains is to express "closing one's heart off" (accepting the meteorite, going back to Kageyama, cutting ties with Kidou; etc etc anything works LOL). Also a reference to how Fudou entered their hospital room from the window lmao.

The eye

Should be self explanatory. It's also a reference to eye as a common symbolism used in Sakuma's character, which... he has... because Kidou himself has eye motif. gay ass.
