I Like How Ogata Is Kinda This Fandom's Pathetic Kicked Puppy But Instead Of Being Comforted We Just

I find it so interesting how Ogata is able to accept death so quickly. Ogata does not live for any other reason then to prove non-existent people wrong and him right. He's a bit of a coward and fights dirty because he has a goal, to become leader of the 7th. But if he's given another way to die in a satisfied enough manner, he will take it. When he knew Sugimoto was going to kill him the moment he caught up, his decision to try and get himself killed by Asirpa's hand seemed to come so easily. Like he literally just said one 'poor me nothing goes my way' line then instantly went into his death monologue that was about the guilty conscious he definitely didn't have. He fought in the war just to be closer to his family, not in a good way. He plays a dangerous game while trying to take the safest routes, but when it comes down to it, all he wants is reassurance in his delusional world view whether he dies sooner or later doesn't matter too much to him. He wouldn't prefer to die before he can reach his endgame, but it's all a means to an end for personal reassurance.

Not gonna be crazy active I think but I will be there

I watched one (1) youtube tutorial about animating a ball and decided the principal can’t be much different with humans so why not give it a try

my verdict is: animation is exhausting but looking at the result is fun, maybe I’ll do this again

Just some stuff I noticed:

In this scene they are carrying Ogata across the ice after Asirpa shot him. Shiraishi has Sugimoto's backpack. Ogata is passed out.

Ogata lost his hat while talking to Asirpa. It blew away and he did not retrieve it.

Ogata is also wearing gloves in this scene. Sugimoto was wearing mittens.

So....if you look at the aftermath here:

They tracked down his hat and put it back on him.

Sugimoto puts his mittens on Ogata.

Like...They are mad at this difficult guy, but they care enough about him to make sure he doesn't lose his fingers and ears to frostbite.

Awwwwwww

Like....Ogata likely has no idea that he can still snipe, because he still has fingers, because they made sure to put mittens on him.

Combaticons!! Let's go boys 🤖🔥

Are there any Rojka Kasaan references other then that picture in the encyclopedia? Or does anyone have any idea what armor he may have been wearing during Envoy? I want to draw him but don't wanna have to make armor up I can't handle that lol
